I know i'm a bit behind with movies but damn i just got done watching an awesome movie about the Mongols, The Blue Wolf.
Tightass movie though, and i wonder... did the Mongols attacked the Manchu (Jin) before China? I was confused. Too many tribes left and right.
I would love to watch more movies on Mongolians. Any recommendations?

Yes.
Isn't it wierd? A movie on Mongolian people but the spoken language is Japanese. It's just like a movie on Japanese but the spoken language is Mandarin. hahha
I want to hear how the Mongolian sounds. I think it would make the movie a bit better with added "authenticity" of culture (language/emotions) to the actors in a sense.

Perhaps you can watch the movie "Mongol" by Sergei Bodrov. It's in Mongolian. Though the story is not up to the expectation, still it's worth to watch.

the movie mongol made me want to say "Everyone who's a fan of this movie, leave the room, right now." then once they're gone, start ranting and raving angrily.

Mr Hitmonxiong, watch this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8Fffa2cgKgThe Mongol movie is inaccurate especially the part when his wife Borte went to Tangut Kingdom to rescue him.
As for Mr Horsemen, my apology.

So its' based on an actual historical account? I don't know anything about Mongol or their history so i have no comment regarding the accuracy
in the movie.
But i think it looks interesting...

As far as I know, most Mongols resent the movies including my Khalkh Mongol father and mother in-laws. However, you can watch and decide for yourself.
There's another movie produced by the Sakha-Mongol Republic in Russia, check this out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBvOcX0pfhUI heard that this one is much better and more accurate. It's damned hard to find this one and even not available in Mongolia. If you can find one, pm me.

Well then can any one recommend any good Mongol movies, with native actors not speaking Japanese, Mandarin, or even English?

I guess it will be available in Russia. But I wonder why it's not available in Mongolia. I am looking for the movie as well.

really? i thought he was Mongol. lol
I know Mongols are not homogenous in looks due to the varies tribes of both mongoliod and turkish in their ancestry; the question is, is this an issue (racism) in
the republic of Mongolia, if any at all?
I thought most of the actors in that movie looked pretty "mongolian" if there's even a look.

There usually is some tribal rivalry but nothing much of any significance we'd rather hate foreigners.
