I must say I am beginning to really like these films coming out of Central Asia. There are very different from the flashy Hollywood films I'm used to and I think that has a lot to do with it. These films provide a sort of honesty and in that honesty you find yourself wanting to be a part of the story. It's intriguing in a different way.
I must say out of this entire series I favored Mongol and White Mountains. Yes, Mongol was a flashy film but it wasn't the action I was drawn to; it was the man and the woman. Their love was strong from the start and that love was able to conquer so much its inspiring. White Mountains just had an incredible story of an orphan just really trying to figure out what he was supposed to do with his life now and what his purpose was.
These movies are all about the underlying message.

I agree, I originally wasn't too thrilled about watching some of these movies, but I've honestly started to really enjoy them and could watch them on my own time outside of this class! I really enjoyed Mongol for the action scenes just because, I'll admit it, I'm a huge war junkie. White Mountains was just an awesome film overall as the character portrayl and development was vivid throughout the entire movie and really drew viewers into the experiences on film. I'm really looking forward to exploring more of these types of film's even after this class is over!
