Title: Ridiculous premise
Product review: While this movie has some good fight scenes and the cinematography is quite good, the basic premise of the movie is ridiculously flawed.From the very beginning, Jason Scott Lee's narrative talks about the Kazakh's people having ancestors like Genghis Khan, and having to fight off invaders such as the Jungars. The Kazakhs are only partly descended from the Mongols, as they were primarily a Turkic people whose cities were DESTROYED by Genghis Khan and his Mongol army. Jungars were more direct descendants of Genghis Khan than the Kazakhs ever were.In the movie, we see the Jungar Khan getting cannons from what look like the Russians. Funnily enough, historically it was the Kazakhs who sought protection by the Russians against the Jungars...I'm curious as to why the Kazakhs participated in the movie when the historical references about their people were so wrong...
