Mongolian Ping Pong

This movie is about a young boy named Bilike who lives without any electricity or running water. He lives in a tent along the steppe grasslands. He one day goes to the river and ends up finding a ping pong ball. He takes it to his grandma and she tells him that it is a golden pearl and that it is a treasure from the river.

Some things that i liked about this movie was that it was kind of funny. The actors were all good and all the story line was kind of dumb it turned out to be okay. I noticed that they were wearing the same kind of clothes that the people were wearing in the weeping camel. Not much was really different from the two movies culture wise.

Some things that were different about the movie compared to United States was that the kids all had horses. They used the horses to get around everywhere and they would often go to far away places. The parents didn't really seems to be watching over there children at all. They would just disappear for many hours and come home like nothing happened.

I would not suggest this movie for someone to watch because although it was decent for a movie you watch in school, i wouldn't waste my time watching it outside of school. The movie didn't seem to have a point to it at all, besides him finding a ball i don't really get why they would waste time with a movie like this. Compared to the other movies we watched i would say this is one of the best.
