As a Mongolian and a long time CC fan, I'm glad we got something different from you guys than just Mongol-tage. (Not that I'm complaining though.) I've met Aisholpan in real life when they screened the movie and my god she seemed so nice. I also like your point on not making the culture extremely exotic by showing the city and cars, because many people still assume that we live in the past. If you see this comment, please make a video about Mongolian gobi desert bears, aka Mazaalai. There are only 30 of them left and I feel like the world needs to know about this extraordinary creature. I mean, we practically saved the pandas because they're cute, why not act the same way to a scruffy looking gobi desert bear, right?

I have decided to focus on making a documentary that will expose evidence that bypassed every veracity fact-checker for The Eagle Huntress since day one. That is in creation ( in the editing phase) at this time. It is now May 2019. I anticipate the doc will be ready for viewing within the year. A main theme of the doc will be female erasure is antithetical to female empowerment. It will become exceptionally clear that there has been a very big and multiple people-involving cover up in relation to the narrative of the film and the media marketing. Thank you for taking note. And please stay tuned by following me on Twitter: MeghanfjFitz Meghan Fitz-James

We should also give credit to Daisy Ridley, because if I'm not mistaken as soon as she became famous and wealthy, she has showed an interest in producing/sponsoring to make this film come to life! :)

This Crash Course series is awesome, one of my favourite! The host is really good and these episodes make me want to watch the actual movies!

1:16....right in the feels...the nostalgia is strong in this one. Amazing documentary recommended.

Wow, didn’t expect to see kazakh thumbnail. Rakhmet(thank you) for informational video. Also, I want to suggest you to see Akan Satayeev’s films!

Good lord your voice is so soothing!! You should read audiobooks tbh. Anyways great job and keep it up!!

Craig, no punching

If you have never seen Urga (Close to Eden) it has the same type of feeling with the old world meeting the new. Its a beautiful film and I highly recommend it.

Those shots of the practice of tradition amidst modernity. It somehow made me tear up. For some reason, I find that extremely beautiful.

I LOVE YOU CRASH COURSE ❤️❤️❤️

There should be some subset of CrashCourse that can do a video on what exactly Thought Cafe is!

Eagle Huntress is a very wonderful film instead. Very beautifully made. To tell you the truth. At the beginning of it I really thought I was watching Planet Earth. For furture suggestion, I highly recommend doing a Crash Course of Planet Earth. You should also do a critic on Birth of a Nation. The film that started the film industry and the one that gave us cinematic techniques that most film makers take for granted. DW Griffith was ahead of his time when it came to film production and direction. He also created a little gem called Broken Blossom. A film that criticizes against domestic violence and violence towards children in particular. Keep in mind 1920s was still a time in which children didn't have much of a childhood as todays' kids. Child Labor laws and laws against physically beating your kids to the point was death weren't enforced. Dw Griffith created Broken Blossom to showcase the dangers of domestic violence and cruelty towards others. It really demonstrate the importance of being compassionate towards others, especially the weaker members of our society. Anyways I'm going to view your other Film Criticism pieces. Thank you.

been in Ölgii last autumn. Nice place, views, nature, people and clothing from wool

Educational!

Hey will ya ever review "armores perros"?

Check out my series of economic questioning. It's aimed at middle school students. Let me know if you have suggestions!

I felt that the story was a little to forced upon the real life happenings. The story the documentarian was trying to use was weak but the actual events overpowered this.

Golden Eagles, not Bald Eagles.

You know what? The Mongols are a nomadic civilization and both male and female members need to help with the hunting, cooking, et cetera.

What about the interview?

Wonderful, but it's not "yurt-like" Those are the original yurts!

No eagle punch?

To understand why she was posed as unique, you should understand Kazakh culture. As I am Kazakh I can fully understand her situation, I was not allowed to do boxing until I got 17. Moreover, in poor families of Southern regions of Kazakhstan, girls have a lot of restrictions and they are raised and taught to do chores, while their parents are obsessed thinking how to marry her more beneficially(fortunately, they marry as they finish school and/or university). P.S. Other Kazakh people, who are reading this, I admit that many parents help their daughters to avoid young marriages, the minority, who are poor and limit their daughters’ future still presence though.

Winter Soldier is really weak as a philosophy film. There are many themes that portray the same messages in much better, complete ways. I think that Watchmen, Batman v. Superman, the Dark Knight serve as the best [philosophical superhero films.

So, in the end, the film was about as accurate as Nanook of the North but chose to lie about different things. In the end it's probably safer to describe this as a regular movie 'inspired by true events' rather than a documentary.

Please do anime

Sacha Baron Cohen did a documentary on Kazakh(stan) persona too.

no mention of Daisy Ridley she narrated it

If you want to learn how the film and the filmmaker whitewashed the eagle hunting festival in Western Mongolia and the heft of a win at one of them all you have to do is research. Start here: "Human and Raptor Interactions in the Context of a Nomadic Society Anthropological and Ethno-Ornithological Studies of Altaic Kazakh Falconry and its Cultural Sustainability in Western Mongolia" by Takuya Soma, 2015. Or the research study by Nolan R. Ebner is findablecwith search terms "when the hunt is over" and "Altaic eagle festivals". By reading these research papers you will learn just how unresearched, slanted, and lucratively misinforming the film is in its portrayal of the culture and the festivals. Tourism is up by 40% and is one (relatively small, there are MUCH bigger) reason "nobody talks about the film because everybody knows it is a made up story". See below comment. It is sad how little actual research went into this video. The whole idea that Bell was "embedded" is a joke. He took 6 trips lasting a few weeks at a time. The man was on an exploitative mission. You'll see. Follow the money.

But if this documentary is just fiction, should be praise as a documentary?It's well made and pretty to watch, but if the story that it wants to tell is kinda of false... well, what's it's worth then?

The film had some nice shots but I wasn't able really to cheer for the protagonist. Her victory felt kinda... cheap. She won a competition over her competitors who had over decades more experience while she trained for like a weak or 2. At least that is how it seems from the film. I am not saying that she cheated or anything but it kinda goes against tradition hero story in which the protagonists earns his victory by long struggle and training.

Very interesting. This is also something that a film can do well/poorly that didn't occur to us at the time of writing this episode. It didn't feel rushed to me. I got the sense that this had been going on for a while, but now that you mention it, it does feel a little truncated. Fascinating. - Nick J.

Hers. @ CrashCourse definitely. I was recently watching Planet Earth documentary. In one of the episodes, there was a story about hatching lizards who had to run through a valley full of snakes who were trying to eat them. It was so well done that I was cheering for a little lizard. And I am usually not cheering for anyone at all. Not in superhero movies, not in dramas, not in horror movies... They clearly showed that there are consequences of failure and then showed the struggle of "protagonist". I think it was the first episode of the 2. season. I highly recommend it. Just for the sake of story telling if nothing else.

Pls make one on the BBC's Sherlock holmes. It has some great movie making in it. Or do one on LEGION, it has a great puzzling way of story telling

Bald eagles are in the Americas. Why did your graphic art team have to show an American bird instead of the traditional Mongolian eagle of that area? You thought maybe no one in the rest of the world knows what other eagle breeds look like?

I never saw La La Land, but Moonlight is a very overrated film. I felt like it was a bit short for what it was trying to say and the way it went about it was very uncomfortable to say the least.

Worst Crash Course teacher ever. Just my opinion. Stop doing bad film's! Have fun with life for once dude.
