first of all and the nature in the movie be beautiful and and there be a bit of mongolian music . well and the horse look mongolian and the camel and but that about all what be mongolian in it . oh and borte be play by a mongolian actress and albeit a lame performance . but she be pretty and which redeem a bit the lack of performance on her part . but and i totally failed to understand what be the point of this painful to watch piece of 1 . 30 hour fantasy create by mr. bodrov . the plot totally lack any sense of cohesion . there be no logic behind the development of the plot . in fact and there be hardly any story at all and just a number of loosely tie scene with a bunch of guy in mongolian clothes and speak some kinda pidgin that be suppose to sound like mongolian . most actor be either japanese and russian or chinese and most scene be shoot in china and kazakhstan or russia and there be a lot of disturb pathos about what be it to be a mongolian . the dialog be primitive and the scene with dialog be slow . the battle scene be laughable . all the supernatural pathos be lame and be obviously there only to make up for the lack of the story . the japanese actor be like a wooden doll and and look at him one wouldn not get any idea how this person could become a leader who could unite the nomadic tribe . he look sleepy and soft and stiff and pitiful for the most part of the movie . and i do not even want to start on the subject of the historical relevance of this piece of cinematic waste . to see chinggis khan half of the movie a a slave and to see his two first kid be bear from other men and to see his wife sell herself to the tangut merchant . my blood start to boil . and where be the beautiful story about the friendship between temujin and jamukha . one could make a great movie out of it . where be the story of the rise of temujin . of his childhood and of his relationship with his family and with his brother and of how he struggle to survive among mighty enemy of his family . where be van khan and who help him a lot . where be the depiction of life in the steppe and of the life of the nomad and of their tradition and of their relation with the other nation around them . where be development of the character . we totally fail to see what bring temujin together with jamukha and what bring them apart and most important and how temujin become chinggis khan and how he and an outcast with no wealth and military power manage to unite the mongolian tribe and create such an organize and effective war machine that crush one nation after another and create the large land empire in history . all this could make several interesting and dramatic story with complicated plot and deep character and but unfortunately we do not see any of it in bodrov creation and not even a glimpse .
