Mongol: The Rise of Genghis Khan (2007): The story recounts the early life of Genghis Khan who was a slave before going on to conquer half the world including Russia in 1206. (7.3)
Director: Sergey Bodrov
Stars: Tadanobu Asano, Amadu Mamadakov and Khulan Chuluun
Languages: Mongolian | Mandarin (w/ English subtitles)
Watched it a second time. (See my previous post as well.) Loved it every bit as the first time. The scenes, the costumes, the choreography, everything is painstakingly well done. I still think Khulan Chuluun's eyes are the most beautiful and mesmerizing. It is very interesting about Temudjin's two kids, but a recent genetic study indicates Genghis Khan has about 16 million descendants living today. Impressive. Highly recommend this movie. My Rating: 8.0
