Rak haeng Siam, I like the movie, tell you frankly I like it. But I didn’t like the idea that it deceives its viewer by presenting it (in the trailer) that it is a teenage love story of two couple. And then it turns out to be a homosexual movie. It is as if the director has no confident in his own movie, afraid that it will do badly in the box-office, so he have to lie and trick people. That really pisses me off. He didn’t give any single clue that it was a gay movie. He did a pretty good job hiding it.
Maybe he didn’t find it to be necessary to pinpoint that out but if he didn’t find that to be a big deal then he wouldn’t have us blindfold that it was a gay movie either.
Anyway let’s talk about the movie- The story first. It was surprisingly good. Little over long, especially the first part (it took over 25 min before credit can open). But overall it was alright, some part can be a bit too slow. The characters are also not bad but very disappointed that there is like 3 min scene of Donut but they used her to promote the whole movie.
One of the best Thai movies in a very long time. A lot have to do with its soundtracks, which is beautifully written, sorry that non-Thai speaker wills never really understand how beautiful it was. But well music is universal.
As much as I hate him for the trick on this, I love his direction the most for the Thai filmmaker. He was imaginative, and unlike most Thai director he was difference, his angle is new. He is really good.
The best thing about this movie got to be the casting, it was utterly awesome, though as expected Thai actor sucks, but they are look good and work well with each other. All the girls and guys are cute.
For most foreigners, you might not notice this but for the Buddhist country it really stand out as why do they make the characters into Christianity? It was standout like anything.
Last Words: At least something new for the Thai film industry. Something with a little more quality flick.
Recommendation: Yes, rent it, you have to open your mind first though.
Reason to Watch: Something different from most Thai flick and soundtrack.
Reason Not To: Overlong, personal dislike of homo.
Rating: 7.5/10 (Grade: B)
