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.

If you yearn for the steppe life, if you love the literature of the former Soviet Union, I recommend this movie to you

If you don't have a little steppe and Russian complex, I think, you may be difficult to be attracted by this film. Because it does not have the beautiful tones of the legendary grassland green, the story seems to take place in the seasons of spring, summer or autumn and winter, and the picture presents a gray-green color. This gray-green color can only be understood by those who truly love grasslands. And one of the protagonists, a middle-aged Russian man, is neither handsome nor attractive. The sadness and childishness in his eyes can only be understood by those who have read the literature of the former Soviet Union.

Therefore, if you want to fully understand the film, two conditions are indispensable.

It can be said that although this film is handled quite artistically, the theme is quite mainstream and easy to understand. However, what attracts me the most is not the theme or the picture (to be honest, the endless grassland looks very low-key and even boring in the camera), nor is it the protagonist, but the supporting role - the Mongolian man's two children, and forever riding a horse And the drunk Mongolian uncle, and a touching soundtrack.

If you don't know anything about the grasslands and the literature of the former Soviet Union, then, after watching this movie, perhaps, you will also have a yearning for the literature of the former Soviet Union in the grasslands.

I'll admit that I'm quite a sentimental person. This is especially true when watching movies. Every time I watch [Masket Set], I always burst into tears,
and then my heart is very peaceful.
