Mongol/ The untold story of Genghis Khan

Genghis Khan is known as Khan (ruler) of the empire of Mongolia from 1206 to 1227, the largest empire in history. During his reign he occupied most af Asia. The movie shows the life of Genghis Khan from the time when he was a boy (and called Temujin) of 9 years and chose (was chosen, as Borte would say later) his bride Borte till he rose to full power. In a beautiful and unagitated way the wide and emty landscape of Mongolia is the stage for the story of a boy that grows up to be a cruel but respected/ feared Khan, that built his empire on strict rules: The mongol punishment will be one - Death. All Mongols are afraid of thunder, only Temujin learned to control his fear because he has no place to hide. The story is not only concentrated on the main plot but gives time to the culture, to the way of living, to the characters, to the landscape and to the soundtrack, that somehow mirrors the pictures in their scantiness.
