Zhauzhürek myng bala

this film was beautifully done in every way. good cast, good directing, good screenplay, good camera, good editing, beautiful locations and settings, good costumes and, very good music. i've never thought a movie out of a small central Asia country would be this good. the script was so well crafted that allowed the young heroes and heroines to freely perform with their hearts and spirits. this is a film that once you've watched it would always stay with you, the beautiful prairie, the remote snowy mountains, the horses, the galloping. the first viewer was right, this film is indeed much better than 'nomad', the fight scenes were especially good too.

This is how you do a movie . Young Kazakhs fighting for their independent against the Mongolian army.

Showing our history of our struggle to our independence.

Kazakhstan has gone through a lot of struggle, the Turks, the mongols, the Soviet. It's nice to see our struggle come to the movies.

I have had the privilege to see Kazakhstan many times. This movie showed the world the great natural beauty of Kazakstan, the mountains, prairies, and the people. The steppes as pictured had to be filmed in the actual steppes of the Tin Shin mountains, these scenes brought back great memories of this beautiful country. The villages had to be actual original habitats as you can see in the Mueseum in Almaty. The casting for this movies is absolutely wonderful. The Kazak language was refreshing to hear. This movie captured my heart as memories were resurrected from my heart. I thank the group that produced this movie and for their depiction of so many accurate descriptions through the art of cinematography. I recommend this movie for any one that loves freedom and I appreciate the culture of the Kazaks and their honorable approach to friendship as aptly presented in this wonderful movie based on their recent history. May Kazahstan remain free.

Watching "Zhauzhürek myng bala" -- also known as "Warriors of the Steppe" -- was a moving experience. It was also a novel experience, since I had never seen a movie from Kazakhstan -- and I gather most people haven't.

First, this is incredibly well done, with magnificent directing and camera work. The scenery is breath-taking. The scope of the story is more than fascinating.

Usually I have a problem keeping up with such a movie because of the chore of reading subtitles, but not this time.

The story itself reminds me a bit of "Taras Bulba," a conquered people trains itself to re-take its homeland.

The horsemanship also grabbed my admiration, and added to the acting, the directing, the superb cinematography, it totaled a motion picture experience I have not equaled in a very long time.

This movie is one to watch again and again. It's available on YouTube and I highly recommend it.

I also thank the reviewer of 30 November 2013 who was able to speak from personal experience of the beauty of Kazakhstan. You made watching this movie even better.

Im kazakh.

Story in my personal opinion ia taled nicely, but not perfect. Actors are good, but not great. But when I reccolect tales of my granny, which were told by here granny, I undestand how hard was that time to live, and how brave were my ancestors. If you want to get invovlved in kazakh traditions and history, that film is very good as a point of a start.

P. S.

Film is to be watched in kazakh language to get it totally and in a right way. The thing is our language is a bit different from english, and hell lot stuff just theoretically can not be translated correctly to get all the info given in one ward. For example, in english you call horse as a horse, in kazakh language there are 47 different wards to say horse(describing its colour, manner of moving, age etc). And that is only about one word, and here we talk about a movie. As an interpreter who watched both english and original versions I would say that almost of 70% of meanings in key scence were lost!
