The movie Gobi: Birth of a legend is a movie of hatred, love, and betrayal. Once upon a time, there arose a king who forbade music in his kingdom. He killed all fiddlers out of his hatred for the sound of music except one whom his life was tied to him. The fiddler was taken to his kingdom at an early age and was hidden from the public, because the day the fiddler dies, the same day the king also dies. Igla kan, the king, was bittered knowing he has no heir to his throne and he sought to wed a young princess who just turned sixteen as predicted by the fiddler who had an ability to see into the future by invoking a spirit through his musical play. In order to take her for a wife, the king ordered the execution of her parents and abducted her to his kingdom.
The queen who was barren hated the king as well as the king's assistant. They all hated him for different reasons, the queen for abducting her at a younger age, killing her parents, and being hard on her for not bearing him an heir, while the assistant was greedy for the throne. They all seek to kill the king but then, no one knew where the fiddler was being hidden. If the fiddler was still alive, it then was impossible to kill the king.
"To have an heir, you must risk your life" the queen told the king who wanted to capture the heart of the young princess, and by this it meant, the king needed to allow the young princess to feel the beauty of music. As days went by, the young princess had favor in the sight of the king who showed her where the fiddler was hidden. That was all the queen wanted to know, she persuaded the young princess to kill the fiddler but she couldn't, instead she resolved to kill herself and the fiddler made this statement:
The wind blew freely and the rivers ran around and about. The tree leaves shatter in harmony and the stars shiver in the cold dark night and the golden sunray touches the ground with the sound of a jingle. - To feel all these in your heart, you must stay alive.
The fiddler and the young princess escaped that night through the help of the queen who wanted the last fiddler on earth to go teach the younger generation, so that music wouldn't fade away forever. During their journey as they fled, the fiddler realized he wasn't going to make it, the princess gave herself to him, so that the life of a fiddler will continue through his genes in her. After they were captured, the assistant betrayed the king by killing the fiddler but unknowingly, she was pregnant and the life of the fiddler had been formed in her and the king survived it.
What happened after that? Is a story of the legend, no, the king reclaimed his kingdom but through the help of the musicians. How did he do it? Go watch it, I dare you it would make you do everything possible to remain alive awaiting the beautiful moments.
