I just watched the best film since The Dark Knight. I watched Mongol directed by Sergei Bodrov. This film is beatifully shot, exquisitely acted, and simply well done all around. Mongolia's landscape is gorgeous and the actors portraying Temudgin and Borte (whose names, I am ashamed to say, I am unaware of) do a fantastic job. My only complaints are centered around a lack of visual explanation as to where Temudgin acquired his army toward the end of the film.
Also, there is shockingly little bloodshed for a film that's based on one of history's greatest conquerors. I'm looking forward to Bodrov's next two installments. You need to go out and see this movie NOW.
