Mongol (DVD, 2008)

I bought the film because of teh scope of this epic,and because it was one of the few truly international efforts in cinema.With a russian director,Japanese lead actor and a supporting cast from China,Mongolia and Korea i enjoyed this interpretation of Chingus Khans early years.Although it isn't historically accurate the breadth and scope of the film makes up for the few flaws it has with it's pace.Besides if you want to actually see what 20,000 mounted warriors look like in battle see this film.This may one of the last of these films to use that many live actors in the enormous battle scenes.There were a few film productions of different nationalities that made films to celebrate the 800 anniversary of Chingus Khans birth but i found this one the most entertaining and the one that made me feel as if enveloped in Mongolian culture.The fact that they speak mongolian helped.The battle scenes are huge and brutal.They have a sensual fell you can almost smell the blood and filth of ancient battles.SERIOUSLY.The director also made sure that none of the characters looked too pristine i.e. no bath tubs in the middle of mongolia and that tone also helped transport you to a grittier more visceral film.Even the swords looked worn and roughly finished.Tadanobu Asano does a great job as Chingus and i have enjoyed his talent in a variety of films from subtle quiet films to over the top horror films his versatilty always surprises me!

I love this Movie (DVD) because it is an epic movie and has historical venue; it is a very good epic movie. I am a collector of classic movies and I love epic movies. I decided to buy this particular movie because it was a great deal cost-wise and the postage was great.

A thoroughly rousing hunk of celluloid, a war saga that blends the sturdiest conventions of old-fashioned heroic storytelling with a few pixilated battle enhancements — check out the soaring blood globs — of the kind that spattered across 300.

this is a great movie for those who want to know more about genghis khan. that why i bougth it and watch it. the movie was ok, it just tell his story when he grew up and became a khan and rule mongolian.

It tells a story about a person, a people's way of life, courage and change. It is sure to be a classic. It is the best foreign movie with subtitles.

Bought the movie for my husband. He really liked the movie except for the fact you had to read everything and he doesn't see very well.

I liked this video for its historical content. I had heard that this movie was run through a line af theaters not close to me so buying this movie online was the only way I was going to get to see it.

Its impossible to write how the movie was because I NEVER RECEIVED IT!!!! This seller is a fraud and has not responded to any contact on where my movie is or provided my money back. The seller BILLY COLT, Seller's ID mudbug2030 SHOULD BE AVOIDED AT ALL TIMES............

This is a great story about the Mongol Empire and the way that Genghis Khan came to power. The story is like a true herioc hollywood movie with villians, lovers and plenty of action. The photgrahy and cinemapotography is breataking along withthe beauty of this Asian empire.

great movie it definitely sheds a new lite on Ghengis Khan The cinematography was spellbinding the story line was captivating I highly recommend this movie

good movie but the bad thing about it is that it's a black/white movie and doesn't have any subtitles in English.

The main character has a lot of compassion and fairness in him. I just don't understand how an individual who has nothing can end up with a lot of followers in the latter part of the movie.

the way the movie was filmed and also it was very well acted by the actors. the type of movie you can watch over and over!!!!

We Americans (descended from Europeans) view Ghangis Khan as a ruthless killer. He was one. This film portrays perhaps why he was. You see a man who has nothing but his love for a woman. That love keeps him alive and in return her alive. The future Khan must be ruthless to survive and for his people to survive. He had a vision for his people which he loved more than himself in the end. Watch this stunningly beautiful film and learn about and ancient and wonderful culture. This is a very GOOD film. Enjoy.
