Mongolian Ping Pong was made in 2005. According to the New York Times, they gave this movie 4.5 out of 5 stars. After reading various blogs, summaries and critques I get the sense that this film will be very similar to The Weeping Camel. It's about a family living in Mongolia just outside of the Gobi desert. I chose to not read farther because I don't enjoy going into a movie knowing the outcome. However I did get a good sense as to what the movie is about. It's based off a boy who clearly knows very little about the world outside of his farm. One day he comes across a ball. He is amused by his findings and believes he had found a "glowing pearl." This movie will probably emphasize the world that many of us are unaware even exists. It will show the simpler sides of life.
