Reduced to 4 stars

The movie hooked me right from the start. Gomba stayed on the slope for a long time, and then with a whistling, he rode his horse and galloped to chase his lover.

Dreaming about the surreal structure of Genghis Khan made me feel that it was not handled well. Maybe the director wants to express the conflict between Mongolian tradition and modern civilization, but even without such a treatment, the previous and subsequent paragraphs can clearly make people feel these conflicts. This paragraph is too powerful. And the image of Genghis Khan is extremely wretched. There were comments that it was Baltou, really? Minus one star for this.

I don't know the director's situation, maybe as other experts have said, the director is using Mongolia to express the situation of Russia. But I want to say that even if it's just about Mongolia, it's a good movie

Two nations with regrets in their hearts

At the juncture of the great changes of the times, the historical changes and the nationalities, the individual's heart is at a loss, and the individual's emotions are insignificant. However, the music of "Manchuli Mountain" sounded the tenderness and nostalgia in the depths of human nature, the genes of history gushed out, and the combination of reality and fantasy is full of some kind of simplicity and warmth. Tranquil narration and wonderful photography make the film full of noble idealism.
