Kazah Movies

Second week in a row I opened up real player and was like "WTF, another one?" However, you shall be shocked to hear this movie made a lot more sense to me than Land of our Fathers. Why? I don't quite know yet. Perhaps writing will help me figure that out.

I was still bored. Well, I can't say bored because it's not like I was aching for the movie to be over. It's just not what I'm used to. Hardly any action. No one's running around trying to rule the world with big tanks and throwing people off piers. Here, with White Mountains we have an honest to God movie. It involves complex characters, some pretty scenery and some heavy conflict. Now, I was thoroughly thrown when Ulzhan's mom agreed with Mukash in him taking her daughter away to the city. I was sitting in my chair, huh? She's letting her go? But some parents grow up faster than others and realize what was right for them isn't necessarily right for their children. Ulzhan was destined to just be another wife, have some children, blah blah blah. I think it's wonderful that sometimes people just seem to know that their lives are theirs to live and that they need to start making decisions in order to live it to the fullest. Mukash's confession on why he wanted to learn and how badly it ached to not know anything really threw me. You often think that people can't miss what they've never had, but I guess in some cases those basic rules don't apply. Mukash wanted to learn more than anything. He felt it wasn't right that he had no knowledge of anything; it scared him I think. And sometimes fear is a terrific motivator.

I don't know how I'm feeling about him dying at the end. Jumping to his death? Was that really necessary? I don't know yet.I'll have to ponder it for a few days and get back here and let ya'll know if I think it was the perfect ending or stupid. I'm leaning toward stupid perfect ending, which really isn't all that helpful. Hmm....
