Sergei Bodrov's "Mongol," known in the US as "Mongol: the Rise of Genghis Khan," is perhaps the film about Chinggis Khaan that most westerners will be familiar with. I quite like it, but that doesn't mean it's a perfect film.



Rather than the typical "here's every single thing wrong with a film,' which while fun is kind of pedantic, I thought I focus on the major errors, which I hope came across clearly. I'm not sure how I feel on the format of this video, and may come back to it when my skillset has improved.

There is a lot of stuff that I did not include in this review, discussions primarily on the 'little things' I mention, as well as the film's depiction of Tengriism, which could be a video all in itself and something I would need to research much more.

What I forgot to mention was that there have been talks of a sequel to this film since 2007, but they never go anywhere. Every few years they bring it up again, say they're doing it, but it never goes anywhere. I'd like to see one, but I don't think it's too likely.

As well, I did some video editing in this, a lot of fun with the spectacularly poor editor on my laptop.
