There are some movies. which makes you watch again and again. This comes into that category.Story, direction, lighting, editing, music, subtle acting of lead boy and his group are fantastic.I've spent some time travel ling interiors of Thai, It's a mesmerizing place. I took a road to Cambodia on train and bus from Thailand. The places shot in this movie are very similar to the lovely locations i've seen.It surely a nostalgic movie. makes me remember my own childhood and the cute gal friend who went with her family to other city :) it's a must watch when Hollywood weaving movies just our of few computers....
I agree with the others that this movie deserves a bigger audience for the fact that its very simple and original. Its not like the typical love story where the guy chases her against all odds and at the end, be able to chase down the girl to tell her how sorry he is and how important she is to him and they lived happily ever after. This movie is more realistic. Life in reality is both bitter and sweet. It is true that the only permanent thing in this world is change. But we will always have a memory of a special someone who once made us cry, laugh and grow. In the ending of the movie, they never showed the face of the adult Noi-naa, but instead showed the young Noi-naa's face. Because in Jeab's heart, she will always be the same buddy he grew up with whom he loved and hated. But will always be "his girl".
I didn't see many Thai movies even though I'm Thai. I picked up this movie from shelf 3 weeks ago because I just wanted to hear some old musics I like.However, 110 minutes of the movie was the time I was traveling back to the past. Canal, fresh market, classroom, and schoolmates activities are surrounding me again. I laughed, I cried and sometime I sat back silently and think about myself as a boy, doing the same thing as in the movie. That was a happy moment of mine.Its production is very simple. Easy camera movement, easy dialog and plain plot but very impressive. If you are not Thai, try this and you might like it.If you are Thai, try this and you will love it.
It's an honor for me to be the first to comment on this movie. I had a chance to see this film a few months ago. As a Thai guy, it flashes back my childhood memory and that made me smile all the way through the end. Even though it is not a high budget movie comparing to those from Hollywood, I believe that the simplified storyline is the strength of this movie. After watching this movie, I had a warm feeling and it really made my day. The movie also has some funny moments like 'the chinese martial art fantasy scene'. I can't guarantee if the non-Thai viewers will enjoy it but I am sure that most of the Thais will definitely like it. :D10/10 for a Thai.
