This post was actually from Wednesday but I just realised it didn’t post properly 
Quick post here because I’ve had a long day and I’m buggered.
Last day of exam! Woot!! This exam kept on being postponed so I’m glaaaad it’s finally out of the way!
After exams, we had a “wonderful” drive up to Bondi Westfields to watch a movie as a “finally our exam room hasn’t been lit or fallen apart or moved because of World Youth Day so we can actually do an exam”, celebration. We originally wanted to watch “Kung Fu Panda” (it looks so cute – so great for the girls. And with a bit of action – good for the boys? I’m such a stereotyper).
BUT… it only comes out tomorrow.. Boo hoo…
So decided to watch this instead. The only movie with a suitable timeslot.
Movie Review:
As you can see… it’s about Genghis Khan and his struggles from childhood to his conquer of the Mongolian people. Blood were spilt, tears were wept, people were killed and wars were fought – I expected all of that.
What I didn’t expect was a sex scene… of Genghis Khan himself… *gasp*
The movie was surprisingly emotional with a drawn out romance plot. It was like the portrayal of Genghis Khan, the devoted father, loving husband and oh, also the man who can kill another man with his bare hands.
Don’t worry, there were still plenty of sword fights, blood spills and tidbits of moral lessons intertwined.
I also have to give credits to the children actors, especially the little Genghis Khan. He was cute but in a, “I’m going to kill you one day” kind of way – that, is one difficult character to portray and he did an excellent job!
I quite liked the movie and would recommend it. It was beyond the historical narrative and blood spill drama I expected.
If you do end up seeing this movie, let me know your thoughts!
Anyhow, until next time,
Ag!
