Hey. Ok time for some serious posting. So ever since I moved here, with each movie I've seen, before the movie there is ALWAYS this preview for a movie that is being heavily promoted in Thailand. The movie is called
King Naresuan. I think I've seen the preview over 100 times between the previews in theaters and the trailers while on the BTS Transit and at other public areas.
I almost wasn't going to watch this movie but I'm glad I did. The creators had hoped this movie would be hugely successful in Thailand because it is the first of a trilogy and it touches on the culture of the Kingdom in the mid 1500 AD period. I believe the hope is that if this movie was successful, it would promote Thailand and make its history more well known others around the world. This movie mixes in a lot of impressive action with quite a bit of history (which I'm assuming is quite accurate as it portrays Thai history). Although about 1/3 of the 3 hour movie was devoted to the civilians paying respect to their king, which does take quite a bit of time each time you have to bow down and show respect or be executed.
The above image is of the young, soon to be King Naresuan on the left learning the teachings of a monk.
As you can see, the people have to show respect to King. The King would always sit physically higher than anyone else. Anyways, that's my plug on the movie, they were hoping if it was successful in Thailand that it would show worldwide, so hopefully you guys can see it one day.
