Conan - What is Best in Life
Here’s a translation of the original quote attributed to Genghis Khan, according to Rashid-al-Din:
“You have all spoken well, but a man's greatest pleasure is to defeat his enemies, to uproot them, to take what they have, to make their women weep so that tears run down their noses, to mount their fair-gaited, fat-thighed stallions, and to clothe the bellies and navels of beautiful women with thin nightclothes and to look at and kiss their rouged cheeks, and to suck their sweet, ruby-colored lips.”

I like to think that the warlord in that scene is a distant ancestor of Khan's, and that the quote was refined and expanded over the years as it was passed down.

One of my favorite analysis/reviews of the movie right here. Warning for excessive use of the french language.

Just watched a trailer for a new movie called "The First King". Reminded me of "Beyond the Black River" Looks cool.

It's a foreign film about the Romans.

Did you know they made John Milius's Conan the Barbarian into a musical?

Thackston, I.B. Tauris, 2012, p.206 Haha. I can't help but laugh my ass off when reading this. It was a different time then. A good night was measured by how many enemies you slaughtered and how many of their freshly-traumatized women you dressed up in your choice of lingerie (that you had the forethought to bring along) then suck their tears from their faces with the carcasses of their men and sons strewn about and their village afire in the background! Just awesome. He forgot the part about finishing the evening with some ale and pissing on the ashes of the burned-down huts. LOL and what's with "rough" cheeks. I don't know about you, but I like sucking tears from my gibbering women with smooth cheeks. So was this something he wrote in a book? Cause there is no way he just came up with those words in the spur of the moment. Nowadays your content paying your high-interest mortgage, not waiting fifteen minutes for your Walmart pickup at the end of the week and passing the next level of the video game. Oh man.

Nowadays your content paying your high-interest mortgage, not waiting fifteen minutes for your Walmart pickup at the end of the week and passing the next level of the video game. Oh man. This quote is from the Compendium of Chronicles written by Rashid-al-Din the vizier of the Mongolian Ilkhan Dynasty in Iran. The Compendium of Chronicles was written around 70 years after the death of the Genghis Khan. Rashid-al-Din also had access to the now lost 'Altan Debter' or Golden Book and other Mongolian sources. It's difficult to determine if the Great Khan did utter those words - it cannot be found in the 'Secret History of the Mongols' an earlier account by the Mongols written directly after the Genghis Khan died. I think he's talking about 'rouged' cheeks not rough cheeks (in other words women that have applied red make-up to their cheeks) - so if you like smooth red cheeks you should be OK

Qunetin Tarantino recently won a Golden Globe award for writing the screenplay for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood; he dedicated this award to Robert Bolt and John Milius. He said Milius was his favorite screenwriter when he was growing up and that Bolt is Milius' favorite screenwriter. There is an NBC video on Facebook with Tarantino's Golden Globe speech, and also this is mentioned in several articles (this for instance: deadline.com/2020/01/quentin-tarantino-wins-screenplay-motion-picture-golden-globe-1202821692/). ...By the way, in the "Special thanks" part of the end credits on Inglourious Basterds, Tarantino is also thanking Milius.
