At the beginning of the movie, there are some very warm scenes. Some people play the organ, tell stories, and play with small toys. The family is happy. Although they are far away from modern civilization and their material life is not rich enough, they can feel the warmth of family affection everywhere. Then, the intrusion of the Russians at first brought the happiness of the family even more, but slowly, the yurts on the vast grassland gave birth to loneliness, isolation and isolation.
The part of Gangbo entering the city is very interesting, like a civilization coming into contact with another civilization, and encountering new things, he has some very naive actions and words. Gangbo, who returned to the grassland from the city, put down the newly bought TV set and sat on the grassland to eat canned food. Immediately after, Genghis Khan, his army, and his wife ran out to catch Gangbo who betrayed the Mongolian civilization. I was immersed in warm thoughts. I thought that after I just finished shopping, I would go home to comfort and wait for my children and wife, and continue to live my old life. Suddenly, an army appeared and confused me, and only then did I think about it. Gangbo's fantasy.
Gangbo has always been immersed in the era of Genghis Khan, the glorious and proud era of their Mongolians, but does that surreal scene express the Mongolians' thoughts on the dead civilization or the fear and bondage?
In the last scene, there are chimneys standing on the grassland, with thick black smoke. There are several dark roads on the beautiful grassland. Gangbo's descendants also entered the factory and left the nomadic life.

    In a speech given to the organization, Mikhalkov spoke about a "war against Orthodoxy" wherein he cited Orthodox Christianity as "the main force which opposes cultural and intellectual McDonald's". In response to his statement, a journalist asked Mikhalkov: "Which is better , McDonald's or Stalinism?" Mikhalkov answered: "That depends on the person". Mikhalkov has described himself as a monarchist. He is known for his at times Russian nationalist and Slavophile views. Combining the director's political views and revisiting the film and the scorching sun Burning, any idea has its complex dimension, don't use simple right and wrong to generalize
