Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

SnoopyStyle A family of nomadic herdsmen lives traditionally in South Mongolia. The last calf born to their camel herd is especially difficult. The colt is white and rejected by his mother. The family sends the two young sons to find a musician who could coax the mother back to her offspring.This is an interesting slice of a traditional lifestyle. The movie starts with no tension. It's questionable what the story is about for a long stretch in the beginning. There is also the question of how real the story is. This feels like a fable trying to be a documentary. It's not my preference but it's not a major problem. It's fascinating but ultimately the style lacks any tension.

Sinister Sinister The Story of the Weeping Camel was the work of film students, but I warn you not to expect the work of amateurs. Because they demonstrate the humbling power of a new wave of director/writers coupled with an exciting new genre.The staggering thematic elements that tour through this movie and the painful point they make, could ask for no better a medium than the Documentary/Drama hybrid used therein. Each scene in this movie displays a drama far more gripping than it's surface appearance and yet it always pulls back giving the viewer a sobering distance to consider.We're set at wondering whether the ills match the pros of Western Culture versus a simpler and more involved life with nature. Whether the desperate need to be connected with our fellow man is more important than being connected with nature. Whether we, as a society, even care about nature at all, at this stage. Whether we care what happens to our next generation and their grapple with the world we left them...

lynxxing I have spent a lot of time on the Steppes of Central Asia, and the film makers have captured the vastness, the spirit, the loveliness and the challenges that native people face. The love and beautiful lives the people and the camels live are so intertwined....the landscape is harsh to outsiders but once there it 's meaning and life take on huge dimensions that many Russian writers and artists were moved by. I experience the same senseof "old souls" on the other side of the mountains in the Altai. They are animists and through that they use music as a powerful healing medicine.I wept with the camel and now I want a white colt! This is a must-see story for everyone. SOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! I would like to know more about the story..was it done just for the movie or is there a tradition to use music for healing?I did not want the movie to be over!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sound-31 This is a fantastic movie.I smiled and cried all the way through this film.The colors.The pictures.Not many words.Very meditative and uplifting.I have it on DVD and I can watch it again and again.The story is simple and touching.The camel mother refuse to take care of its baby and leave it when it tries to suck milk.After several days of trying different things the owners of the camel a Mongolian family realize that the baby camel wont survive if they don't do something very soon.So they sent out two of the youngest boys of the family to a town for help and for some batteries for their transistor radio.I can really recommend this film.
