I have decided to continue my trend and reviewing Asian American influenced films, and am very satisfied with the contents Mongol: The Rise of Genghis Khan.
This movie does well in producing the fictional persona Temudjin (birth name).
I really did enjoy this movie, it was very well shot, with beautiful shots of the environment and it felt very real. the culture was very well recreated for the time period. and I was very intrigued to learn that he was more of a man of honor when it came to his country and his men. As well as very respectful of the lives of women and children.
Unfortunately, in American textbooks, I was taught that he was a barbaric person and was unruly, it came to a shocking discovery when I saw the other side in this film. although I have not done full research on his history, I will now make sure i get the full and real story.
as for the film I give it a 4/5
I disliked the fact that they cut out much of how he later then became the khan of his people, they focus more on his early life than on the path to legend.
