Movie Info

A Japanese-Mongolian co-production, Genghis Khan: To the Ends of the Earth and Sea explores the myth behind the man known as "The Blue Wolf," and who built history's greatest empire. Haunted by the mystery of his origins and betrayed by his most trusted friend, the Mongolian leader wrestles with conflicting feelings of love and hate for the son who bears the same burden. Concealed by history for centuries, the true story of Genghis Khan can finally be told. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Oct 18, 2009

the most important thing is it's mostly historically factual. having read up on the man himself i find it upsetting when directors come along (sergei bodrov) and totally change what's known about this great historical figure. this japanese version is far superior to any versions i've seen before... but it could still be better! aside from a book though i'm afraid this is the closest you're gonna get to temujin himself

"The Blue Wolf: To the Ends of the Earth and Sea" (2007) I think is the international title of this movie. Not even sure if this is the one with Takashi Sorimochi (GTO the movie, 13 Kaidan "Thirteen Steps") but the name of the director is correct. The movie is about the life of Temujin becoming Genghis Khan and unified the entire Mongolia. Filmed in actual Mongolian grassfield, the panorama shots is as amazing as the characters themselves. Deeply concentrating on the possible inner being of Genghis Khan and how he protected his family clan while showing his ruthless side. This is a Japanese film, not a Mongolian film. Lots of Japanese culture is there still. (Such as the samurai way of talking, quick movement to hold woman.) Lots of comical moments. The film is mostly concentrated into whether Zuchi is Temujin's biological son and Temujin is Esukhei's biological son or not which is a little drag and plus some of the historical account is inaccurate--So don't hope to learn history from this film. Zuchi didn't die that early and Tooril is supposed to be killed by the Naimans, not Jamukha. I was hoping to watch Temujin's entire conquests till he dies.
