After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
That's it. Just one long melodramatic karaoke video. Chaiwat is very handsome but looks alone cannot save his acting or this film. There are far too many interminably long sequences without dialogue featuring the lead actors standing around on different planes of existence looking lonely, supported only by a truly awful sappy orchestra of what I assume to be two circa 1983 Casio keyboards. The super long sequences are frequently followed by really short scenes that make the entire film feel like its hobbled. Lurching forward one moment and then stopping to find its balance.The score is unbearable. Seriously all I could think of was the bad stock videos they make for karaoke machines.I gave it a 2 because of Chaiwat's handsome face but that's all I can muster.DO NOT RECOMMEND.
This movie is so amateurish and melodramatic by our standards. It is also ends up being very boring. I watched it out of curiosity and the one Thai actor is quite hot looking other than it is a waste 2 hours.Sometimes really bad movies can be funny...this one might work that way if you were stoned but otherwise forget it.This thing was geared towards gay audiences....they flushed out the handsomest young Thai actors gave them a macho gangster flair for sexiness but good grief!....it is so silly maudlin and drags.Also after all the effort to put gays in macho non stereotyped roles why have one of the lovers shot in the end. What a depressing deflation... I wish they would put gay people in normal roles where they just happen to be gay. A gay James Bond with upbeat endings instead of the mother hanging herself etc...This script may conform to some sort of Thai typical gangster plot? Also the excessive melodrama maudlin sentimentality may sell there. Did any of you notice how terrible the acting is....one of the gangsters tries to do a facial tick but it is so obviously forced..The cinematography is to show that Thailand (Bangkok) has arrived at the dystopia future big city life. I have been to Bangkok several times it does not resemble this movie...except maybe the grid locked traffic and a constant 99 degree and 100% humidity weather.DO NOT RECOMMEND
I loved this movie! it makes one think about the characters and their situation. I was very moved by the rawness of the movie. I tried to place myself in their shoes but found i would have no clue as to what i would do. the story line is full of emotion and settings used are fe-nom! one is immersed into the city of Bangkok. slight spoiler! the ending is quite literally a mind-(insert here a very harsh word)... It made cry so hard!I am def. going to buy this movie so i can watch it with my bffs.love always, me! =]
This is an excellently done film. The Acting is first rate. The direction, and editing were beautiful. Poj Amon's was not run of the mill. The delivery of the story had enough twist and turns to keep one interested, even though one had the feeling that the end had been pre-defined, it was not anticipated. The lead actors were out standing. Their portrayal of clan-destined lovers was well thought out and well acted. Even without an English translation, one developed an understanding of the story, it's characters, the inter-relationship between the main characters and the secondary characters.This is a must have movie for any serious collector or movie buff should have in their collection. Straight or Gay, it doesn't matter, because the story/movie is EXCELLENT
