Astonishingly, the name and the person of Genghis Khan in Sergei Bodrov's "Mongol," a great, Shakespearean drama about this seminal figure in history, don't appear until the very end of the two-hour epic. Instead, we see Temudjin, the man yet to become (posthumously) Khagan (emperor) of what was to be for several centuries the largest contiguous empire in history. Whether Bodrov completes the contemplated two additional chapters of the story or not, "Mongol" stands on its own as a masterpiece. Contradicting the Western (and Russian) image of Genghis as the monstrous conqueror, Bodrov's work is influenced by Lev Gumilev's "The Legend of the Black Arrow" and is based on "The Secret History of the Mongols," the 13th century Mongolian account, unknown until its re-emergence in China 700 years later. For a director, who learned in school only about the horrors of Russia's 200-year subjugation by the Mongols, taking a "larger view" is a remarkable act. Unlike Omar Sharif in the 1965 Henry Levin "Genghis Khan" or Takashi Sorimachi in Shinichiro Sawai's disappointing 2007 "To the Ends of the Earth and Sea," Tadanobu Asano in Bodrov's film is strictly Temudjin, not the great Khan. He lived from 1162 to 1227, and "Mongol" covers the years between 1171 and the beginning of the unification of Mongolian tribes around the turn of the century. In fact, the spookily powerful child Temudjin (Odnyam Odsuren) dominates the first part of the film, undergoing trials and tribulations that make ...

The Alternatively according to Mongol mythology, they were descended from a blue-grey wolf birthed by Heaven, and a fallow doe. Together they crossed a lake to reach Bodonchar's great-great-grandson The Mengda Beilu records that the Mongols developed a profound hatred of the Jin because of massacres and atrocities that they committed in the late twelfth century. Whether these stories were real memories or a form of propaganda being used against the Jin is difficult to ascertain. Chinggis Khan certainly tried to unite other tribes to his cause by evoking their shared hatred of the Jin. On meeting the Khitan prince, Yelü Chucai, for instance, Chinggis Khan claimed that his war against the Jin was vengeance for their actions against the Khitan people.

The story of Genghis Khan, from the loss of his father when he was a little child to the moment where he defeated his enemies and managed to unite all Mongols under his banner. Sumptuous but rather flat biopic that despite the earnest efforts by all people involved never manages to catch fire and become a truly epic experience. Sergei Bodrov is a competent director, no question about that. He gives us some majestic shots of the Eurasian steppes and stages a couple of exciting battle scenes. But overall he is betrayed by the unfocused script and his not-so-charismatic stars. The film is also hurt by its abrupt ending, which is somewhat expected since "Mongol" was supposed to be just… • Mongols need laws. I will make them obey, even if I have to kill half of them. -- Genghis Khan Mongol really makes justice to Genghis Khan’s history and this is due to great performances from the actors, large-scale battle scenes, and cinematography which competes with Hollywood’s best. The largeness of its scope arises naturally from the material, not the budget. Mongol is the first installment of a planned trilogy. Bring on the next two. • Dull, tedious & overlong isn't what one expects when diving into a fable about the greatest & most fearsome conqueror to have ever lived but Mongol is exactly that. More a prequel than a full-fledged account of Genghis Khan & his conquests, this historical epic comes rife with myriads of issues and is disappointing by all means. Mongol narrates the early ...

The Origins of the Great Khan As a boy, I had a bit of a fascination with Genghis Khan (meaning Great King) and even drew a picture of him titled, naturally, "Temujin," his actual name. I don't know what it was that attracted me; likely his cool-sounding title and world-conquering exploits. With the exception of Iron Maiden's great instrumental, "Genghis Khan," that ended my flirtation with this historical figure. That is, until I saw the Russian-made "Mongol: The Rise of Genghis Khan" (2007) yesterday. As the title suggests, the film explores Temujin's origins and what led to him b...
