    Mongol (aka Braveheart 2008) - best picture of the year!!!!!

    by ginal69

    Secretly this maybe the best movie of the year so far in my humble opinion...

    It's a Mongolian Braveheart. EVERYTHING that made Braveheart one of the greatest films (for its genre) of all time - is here, in spades. In fact, Mongol does a couple of things maybe even better than BH...

    Incredible acting - Temudgin (Genghis Khan) was simply unbelievable. Yes the movie is subtitled - but half way thru the film u almost don't need them anymore with his character. His emotions, state of mind, intent, et literaly ooze off the skin.

    Glorious battle scenes. The big battle between Temudgin and Jamukha is not to missed. (Temudgin's heavy calvary illustrates why heavy cav WERE the tanks of the day!)

    Intellegence. SO much isn't said - because it doesn't need to be. We are left to come to our own conclusions (so we believe as they're really supplied invisibly and intelectually by the director).

    Really, I could gush all day. Mongol is SUPREME movie magic at its best!!!!!

    Mongol - FANTASTIC!

    No movie is perfect and even if you love this one - like I did - you'll find a couple of things about it to pick at.

    But overall this film is a masterpeice. It is powerful, gorgeous, and emotional. And there are plenty of good life lessons in it too.

    Run, don't walk, too see Mongol.

    Mongol

    My husband and I went to see Mongol because of the trailers (which were few and far between) we saw on TV. As history buffs, we were interested in the life of Ghengis Khan. This movie surprised though because instead of it being about his rule as the Khan of the Mongols, it tells the story of how he becomes Khan in a very symbolic and beautiful way.

    We enjoyed the gorgeous cinematography, and its influence in the film. It, too, is very much a major character in the film. Additionally, the supporting actors were excellent--especially the actress who plays Ghengis Khan's wife.

    We agree that if you enjoy sweeping epics with beautiful scenery, you should see this on the big screen before it gets away.
