Astonishingly, the name and the person of Genghis Khan in Sergei Bodrov's Mongol, a great, Shakespearean drama about this seminal figure in history, don't appear until the very end of the two-hour epic.ongol is very much a based off a true story kind of movie. We certainly aren't seeing the true Genghis Khan. The film is riddled with historical inaccuracies, he is captured three times during the film, in reality he was only captured once.
