“Do not scorn a weak cub. He may become the brutal tiger.” Mongolian proverb
So begins Mongol, a Russian movie directed by Sergei Bodrov which was nominated by the Academy for Best Foreign Language Film of the Year. This historical epic was based on the 13th century book The Secret History of the Mongols and was made on the relatively small budget (for an epic) of $20 million and tells about the early life of Mongol warrior Genghis Khan.
