thmurphy-37414 Tuya's Marriage is very interesting, as it looks at the life of Mongolian life in today's lifestyle. The story started with the ending, and then they all started to tell the beginning. I do not know much about the Mongolian lifestyle, but it seems like a very rural experience, that is met by the need for water. The main character, Tuya, is a herder of sheep, and they sell the sheep to make their money. One problem the family has is there is never any water around them, so they need to go and get it with their camel. That is quite the nuisance as they have to only use a certain amount, and once they are out they have to go and get more water. To solve this problem her first husband tried to build a well outside of the house, yet injures himself throughout the process. The well is not finished, and now Tuya has to do all of the work and take care of her two kids and her husband, as he is crippled now and can not work. Tuya goes and finds many suitors, once she finds the first one, it does not go well. The next suitor is named Shenge, and is very close with the family, as he tries to build a well outside of the house too. I will not get into too much detail, as you should see the movie to find out, but then it ends with no one knowing who Tuya really marries. It is the day of her wedding, and her first husband gets in a fight with Shenge and no one truly knows who she marries. I believe she marries Shenge, but no one knows for sure. I would recommend seeing this movie to someone if they are interested in the rural life of Mongolians.

Damadjunglist Just a beautiful and authentic movie with beautiful scenery of Mongolia, China and gives a good idea of daily life of a different kind in this world. I especially liked the tranquil way it has been shot almost like a documentary style way of filming. Also the actress who plays Tuya in this movie has such a beautiful face that it's even noticeable tightly wrapped in her traditional headscarf. I can't say absolutely nothing negative about this movie. There should be much more movies like this coming out that not only have the ability to entertain you but even make people think about what we think life is really about.

Armand almost documentary. a woman in Inner Mongolia. her family. and her husband. a delicate situation. and one option. nothing else. result - a film about basic things in a isolated space. taste of sand and dust. a silent heroic existence. beauty of images. drops of humor. and sensation of a lot of pictures by strangers. very familiar pictures. a warm feeling, mixture of compassion and curiosity. a border film between testimony and art product. because the story is present in many movies from East. because the place, language or details are only pieces of a large arena.after its end, the flavor of savage beauty remains in memory. more than social postcard, it is trip in forms of human meetings as form of profound happiness.

N.L. Unlike the two faux documentaries which people now associate with Mongolian films, TUYA'S MARRIAGE is a well-acted, intricate and layered story about a strong young woman trying to hold her life together. Very like Gong Li in THE STORY OF QIU JU, Yu Nan plays Tuya, a stubborn and beautiful woman faced with an impossible predicament who must find her way through an onslaught of well-meaning (mostly) but ineffectual men to keep her family together. Tuya's affection for and loyalties to her disabled husband Bater are put to the test when she is forced to find a new husband in order to survive. All along the "obvious" choice, Shenge, her foolish but adorable neighbor, keeps trying to be the hero but falling on his face. Tuya must keep saving the men in her life from near disaster: Bater, Shenge (twice), and even her young son. The film becomes the romance/triangle of one woman and two men - much like JULES AND JIM or even FAREWELL MY CONCUBINE (co-written by Wei Lu, who also co-wrote TUYA'S MARRIAGE). At the end of the film, her marriage includes both men, but immediately we see that she must continue saving them from themselves - and keeping everything and everybody together.
