Realized Biography of Adversity

Under lightning, I have nowhere to hide! A very delicate and beautiful film, focusing on reality in terms of plot, rather than successful biographical chicken soup! And Sun Honglei's performance is very brilliant, the perfect embodiment of personality and tension! Art, clothing, and photography are also made with heart. If it is an epic film, it is disappointing to most audiences, because there is not a lot of epic heroic scenes. Instead, it uses a lot of detailed and fragmented paragraphs and scenes to describe the adversity experience of Temujin in his early years, and interspersed with many Mongolian customs, cultures, thoughts, beliefs, etc. I think it is a success! The reason for the disappointment of most audiences comes from the title "Mongolian King". Wang Road is paved with bones and blood, and this film is much less so. The title of the film also includes "King of Mongolia: The Early Life of Genghis Khan, Temujin, King of Mongolia: Opening the World". Personally, I think "Tiemujin" is the most appropriate, but such a name does not meet the commercialization of publicity! With so many Genghis Khan films, I think this one is more meaningful! Based on Temujin's life, it brings out many aspects about Mongolian people's life and death, beliefs, concept of marriage and family, social form, tribal culture and so on. Moreover, the weight of the pen and ink is appropriate, and the amount of information in the 120' film is very abundant. So the focus of this film is not a person, but behind the achievement is a king's family! This film is very appropriate to show a lot of Mongolian culture, thinking! The prosperity of a clan is not something that one person can create, but the victory of a clan! The promise that Temujin made on the holy mountain was to comply with the will of God and the will of the people, and he had insight! He is the king! The right time and place and the result of people! If we look back at history and look at the present, we will find that no matter how advanced technology is, the prosperous history of human society is always strikingly similar!

(Inexplicably needs to be reviewed, only some words can be simplified, it looks a bit abrupt...)
