This is an excellent story of determination, focusing on a goal and remaining true to yourself. Inspiring for anyone who has a dream that may seem impossible to reach.
Superb acting from Asanee Suwan (he'll become an international star) and the rest of the cast, plus some breathtaking cinematography in the Northern Thai countryside. The script shows a compassion and understanding for the story, this is not exploitive and it is the easy ability to relate to the character that makes the themes universal.
I am eager to see more from director Ekachai Uekrongtham. His blend of realism and symbolism makes for a poetic visual literature.
The English subtitles on the Hong Kong DVD are fluent and well written. No broken English like you sometimes find on imported DVDs.
