Award-winning Russian filmmaker Sergei Bodrov (PRISONER OF THE MOUNTAINS) illuminates the life and legend of Genghis Khan in his stunning historical epic, MONGOL. Based on leading scholarly accounts and written by Bodrov and Arif Aliyev, MONGOL delves into the dramatic and harrowing early years of the ruler who was born as Temudgin in 1162. As it follows Temudgin from his perilous childhood to the battle that sealed his destiny, the film paints a multidimensional portrait of the future conqueror, revealing him not as the evil brute of hoary stereotype, but as an inspiring, fearless and visionary leader. MONGOL shows us the making of an extraordinary man, and the foundation on which so much of his greatness rested: his relationship with his wife, Borte, his lifelong love and most trusted advisor.

Filmed in the very lands that gave birth to Genghis Khan, MONGOL transports us back to a distant and exotic period in world history; to a nomad's landscape of endless space, climatic extremes and ever-present danger. In a performance of powerful stillness and subtlety, celebrated young Japanese actor Asano Tadanobu (ZATOICHI, LAST LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE) captures the inner fire that enabled a hunted boy to become a legendary conqueror. Asano's achievement is matched by those of his co-stars, including the radiant newcomer Khulan Chuluun as Temudgin's courageous, spirited wife Borte, and the Chinese actor Honglei Sun (THE ROAD HOME) as the Mongol chieftain Jamukha, Temudgin's dearest friend and deadliest enemy. Masterfully blending action and emotion against some of the most arresting terrain on earth, Bodrov delivers an exciting and awe-inspiring tale of survival and triumph, and a love story for the ages.

  • Ha, you wish. The greatest conqueror in history was not a white, but an Altaic man.

  • Man I saw this movie last night nd it changed he whole I look at Ghengis Khan. I always thought he was a barbarian/conqueror that like to kill people just like that cause he felt like it. I'm glad I saw this movie cause it changes the way you see a lot of things.

  • The authors of this film took a lot of liberties with the story of Genghis Khan.

  • @MrGolfstream kes lan göt cengiz han mongol kabilerini ve türkleri kabilerini birlestirmese mongolar hem kenidleriyle devam savsicaklradi hemde türklerele sonra bi zaman gelicekti russlar,persler,romalilar sikicektianamisi mal tarihi bilmeden konusma ibne gavat top evlat ananin amina dinamit sokat canli bomba olalak israile gönderirim orospucocugu 

  • cengizhan kadar kalleş ve piç biri daha dünyaya gelmemiştir.Neticesi ise moğolların su an ki durumudur.Onun tek amacı Batinileri yok etmekti o yapamadı ve çocukları yaptı.Şimdi ise kertenkele gibi sürünüp aklı sıra ibadet ediyolar.

  • Genghis khan is my grand grandfather and grandfather of my Mongol people

  • man it is how u talk and on which basis and sources u talk...u just listen to what media says u just got a hint and talk..that is ur problem..ofcourse wars causes bloods and we had been through many wars but for causes to defend ourselves...but this differs from culture to culture ..

  • You're a total fool. Muslims have just as much blood on their hands as any other culture. What, you think Christianity advocates the murder of children? Get a grip. Just because you're a Muslim doesn't mean that they've never made any mistakes.

  • its part of one of the songs in the soundtrack of the movie. the song its part of is called "No Mercy" by Tuomas Kantelinen

  • whats the song tht starts at 1:30

  • don't talk to me about my religion u read a book u read many books....i got the right sources...and u obviously have the wrong sources..i know there are books against islam...but i know our history an living in it..
