I love this movie so much
Expected more
best movie i've ever seen.
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
As someone said, "beautifully depicts country life in Thailand." Wow! If that is what it is like, I'm glad I'm here. Corruption, deceit, hatred, rumors going wild. (Oh, wait... we've got that too.) Terrible. Even the Buddhist Monks turning there backs on one of their own. Scary that someone says this is what it's like. My wife said this is why Asians there will always be the third world. (She's Indonesian, so don't jump on my back.)I know it's a movie, but the cover looked like a cute, light-hearted movie. WRONG!Bongkoj Khongmalai was really HOT though.
very good film, opens with some great shots- but somewhere down the line, it loses its grip and falls in the old melodramatic genre.The storyline is great, the actor (Ai-fak) (I heard that it was his first film) puts up a fantastic performance. The heroine's performance is a bit inconsistent - she lacks continuity.I saw the movie at a film festival in Trivandrum, Kerala.I loved the movie because it portrays life in rural thailand beautifully. Though it deals with a subject bordering on incest (where ai-fak gets a wet dream about his stepmother), i would rate this movie as good. It could have been better, though. My 6 out of 10.
Though the story takes place in rural Thailand it tells a story that could take place in small communities all over the world. In short the movie is about a young man who comes home from his military service to find his father married with a beautiful but crazy young woman.He is attracted to her, but dosn't make any advance towards her. And when his father dies he tries to look after the woman with respect both for her and the memory of his father. But people in his community thinks he has an affair with her and makes them suffer a harsh condemnation for behaving outside of the social norms of the village. It is a well made movie with credible performance from the main actors and with moments you'll think about after having seen the movie. Being a a thai movie it will probably never reach a wide international audience, but it is well worth seeing if you should come across it.
The story reflects an young victim of Thai society in the rural area. It based on a great novel by Chart Kobchiti and been produced many times in forms of TV series and movies. For Ai - Fak 2004, the leading actress impress the audience by her own great performance convincing that she was really being lunatic and catalyse the plot fast and increase tension to the whole story. Also it is the first movie for the actor and he doing the great job showing the suffering from what he didn't do but have to live with the hatre of the villagers. I felt this film should be brought out more characteristic of the male leading. In my opinion, it is another best film of Thailand.
