A Little Thing Called Love

Since watching The Love of Siam (2007), I was slightly interested in romantic films made ​​by Thailand. Moreover, actor Mario Maurer as important here. Acting was good and it deserves the best actor. Here is also a very good actor especially when she turned into someone who is beautiful, very different! In addition, the presentation of the film is flat and easy to understand is perfect. Humor served very fitting. Very good ending. The audience is not disappointed with a fairly long duration. Friendship and sense of romance is very touching. That little thing on my first love is very important, and I never felt it.

Therefore, I gave a rating of 10!

This is a film that anyone can enjoy, provided they leave their own cultural bias' by the door. The story in itself is pretty unremarkable... it's a teen love story, and if there's a way to create something unique in the way of plot vehicles for this genre, I'd like to hear it. What this particular film does, in its own sublime way, is reveal so much about the character and culture of the world's most lovable people. Thais are at once childlike and somber. The inhabit a world that is at once filled with mystical notions and aspirations, and also rife with the most petty and spiteful stereotypes and internal racism.

Nam, the protagonist for this film, is characterized as "plain" and "awkward" in the film's beginning. But she's not... she's a quite pretty young girl. What she's really subordinated by is her Thai features and dark complexion. If you've not lived here, you may be entirely unaware of the social status Chinese features and pale skin award people, and how much shame is bestowed on those who look exactly like the indigenous people of this region. The filmmaker is courageous in revealing this less-than-laudable aspect of Thai culture, with Nam's teacher calling her "dark skinned" in the film's opening moments.

In spite of this honesty, the movie also manages to very lovingly portray the universal extremes of a girl's blooming feelings for her first boy crush, but again very Thai in it's portrayal. From Nam's sizable but immediately recognizable friend Cheer, to her celebratory booty shaking dance moment, there is so much here that is uniquely Thai, and very endearing to those of us who love and admire these warm hear- ted people.

Is the movie overly simple in it's plot? Who cares. This isn't a mystery, it's a very very real portrayal of a Thai girl's fantasy of romance. Everything from the single parent household to the female dominated population speaks of Thailand today.

I loved this movie because it didn't try to be American or European, or another Chinese Kung Fu epic.. it's just a great little story about a Thai girl's dreams.

The very first time I watched this movie was in my high school days. Before this, I haven't watched any romantic Thai movie. And this movie "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" is an absolute delight to watch. It was Thai romantic comedy film, directed by Puttipong Pormsaka Na-Sakonnakorn and Wasin Pokpong, starred by lead actor and lead actress called Mario Maurer and Baifern Pimchanok Luevisadpaibul, who are now big stars in the world of Thailand's films. The plot is not anything special or out of the blue, it follows usual rom-com setting, that is a girl called Nam, who is shy and ordinary high school girl who has a secret crush on the most popular boy in school, Shone. Wanting to get attention from Shone, Nam tried various ways to get close with him. This movie beautifully exposes the innocence and awkwardness of unrequited love, while also exploring themes of self-discovery and personal growth. I think every girls could related the feelings and emotions of the characters as it captures from the awkward encounter in school corridors to the nervous flutter of first love. I can't help but reminisce about my own teenage years and also it brings the rollercoaster of emotions that come with it like fluttering, happiness or sadness. And the protagonists did very well to portray their own characters without over acting. They simply described the life and the experience of high school girl and boy in order that everyone could relate with them. Besides, the characters of Nam and her girl friends are also the highlight of this film. They are always there for her, whether she needs a pep talk or a shoulder to cry on. It show the importance of friendship as well as navigates the highs and lows of adolescence with humor, grace, and unwavering support for one another.

Although this movie is a great one for me, I don't think everyone will like it or not. I would recommend to whoever likes to watch the genre of high schools, romantic-comedy, relaxed one, it is a must-watch movie. Anyway, this movie is pure gem for me and it is addicting to watch over and over again. Timeless. It is a kind of movie that just makes you feel good inside. It's like a warm blanket on a chilly day or your favorite comfort food. Whenever I rewatch it, I still feel butterflies in my stomach due to Nam and Shone's love story. Everything in the movie seems so beautiful and realistic. Even the dialogue is also great and as for the humor, it describes prone jokes in schools as well as the funny stories between teachers and students. And Nam's awkward encounters with Shone or her hilarious antics with her friends, are also parts of realistic humor.

To be concluded, if you find a feel-good movie that leaves you with a smile on your face and a warm fuzzy feeling in your heart, 'crazy little thing called first love' would be a good option to try. So, grab some popcorn and get ready to fall in love with Nam and her crazy little world.

" Crazy Little Thing Called Love " is a pretty good school romance movie. And, even though it's oldish, it feels fresh.

The story has its flaws, like the ending and the awkward transition of Nam from the 'ugly' duckling to a pretty girl in a blink of an eye. However, it is fun, with lots of cute moments and some funny parts. The dialogues are clever and entertaining too.

As for the romance, it was adorable, youthful and just right. It had its dramas, but, overall, it was smooth and interesting.

The performances, finally, were all great from everyone in the cast.

So, overall, eight out of ten.

The first love I've ever seen in my life is a movie that means something to lovers like me It's the first love movie I've ever seen, and it's a movie that means something to love lovers like me
