Mongolian spirit

It is also a film reflecting on national heritage. After watching "Whale Rider", I suddenly thought of "Mongolian Spirit". "Mongolian Spirit" is even more depressing, deeply showing the conflict between the inheritance of national culture and modern industrial culture. The Russian nation also has a long history. In 1991, when the film was released, when the Soviet Union disintegrated, the director showed the lack of belonging of the Russian people at that time through this film. The Mongolian people are a nation on horseback. Under the background of the rapid development of modern society, it is very difficult for them to choose and continue their own national culture.

    About the identity of the ethnic group, the division of the country, and the inexorable coming of the times, they all talk about God with an ending without dialogue: on the way home, sitting on the grass and dreaming: Genghis Khan asked him where he was as a Mongolian horse and weapon? He looked back at the bicycle and TV that he had just bought, and was ordered to use a horse to be put to death... He woke up with a prairie and a rainbow, and he hurried home to put on the TV, and the broadcast was incomprehensible Current affairs and politics, with tears in his eyes, his wife asked him why he didn't buy a condom, and the old mother squeezed a bubble pad. Suddenly on the screen, his wife rode out on a horse, he hurried to catch up, put a horse pole on the grassland, they mate in the most primitive Mongolian way, and I was born, named Temujin. That horse pole turned into a big chimney over the years, and I worked in it. This is the end of the story. After the split, the souls of the Soviets were two dollars a piece, while the souls of the Mongolians lost the grassland forever. What a great movie!

    Shock is the key word of the film, the nostalgia of the Russians and Mongolians in this Chinese land, the context of history and the future, the interweaving of modernity and nomadism, the first half of the film has a sense of peeping from outsiders, and the latter is poetic and smooth. Especially since Gomba took a toy plane, it was so good that I couldn't help but think that the first half should be deliberately done by the director. The music in the film also expresses different cultural symbols very clearly.
