...to have a queue. The queue was imposed on Han Chinese during the Qing as a symbol of subservience. The Qing were the Manchus, the descendants of the Mongols, in case you were wondering where I was going with this.
I'd delete Mongol from your Netflix queue. The more I think about it, the more I disliked it. It had great scenery, decent battles, good acting, but it moves so ploddingly slow, like watching permafrost thawing, and there's many plot turns that make no sense whatsoever. One moment Temudjin is falling through the frozen river ala Never Cry Wolf (not a spoiler - it's in the trailer). The next scene, he's on the shore. How he got there from under the ice alive is never explained. He's only like 10 in that scene too. And that's up in the beginning. It gets worse after that.
There's a heavy metal soundtrack for the credits. Thank Jah. It woke my up from a much needed nappy.
