Beautiful

At first I thought this movie must be another historical boring movie that took many hours to finished it but it turned out to have the spectacular scenery and the 16th century atmosphere. It made me know that how long before THAILAND is THAILAND today; because the movie told you that it wasn't THAILAND back then. There were many sort of cities on that land which they fought for it.

AYUDHAYA or the city that is the main mentioned of the movie had its problem in itself because of they also fought to conquer the land as well. The characters confused me sometimes as I don't recognized them before. The costumes are really beautifully amazing even for the same Asian country like Japan (my country), although it seems wasted quite lots of money on them.

I think this movie is the great movie for entertain knowledge as well as for a change from people who wants to see new step of Asian movie. It is thick with beautiful and spectacular cultural of THAILAND (Siam).
