Why didn't I watch this sooner?

Do not be deceived by the poster. I really thought it was one mediocre of a movie until I finally gave it a go. The acting was good and so was the story. Like it's title, it kept getting better as the movie progressed. The full circle of the story was heartbreaking, but there is an intangible satisfaction to it.

Wow. Just Wow.
I've been planning to watch this movie for a while, but after watching it i am actually stunned.
It's so much better then you would think by seeing the plot and the poster.
I think the whole storyline is really strong, it starts off quite easy but interweaves more as the movie progresses.
It shows some of the hardships that transgender people might get through in their lives, and even though i know that life never is easy, it shows how much worse it can actually be and makes me realise so many hardships some people face every day.
I'm not gonna lie, by the end of the movie i was really bawling my eyes out as it takes an emotional toll.
The story is beautiful and strong and i think the actors did an AMAZING job in portaying the characters, i'm still quite stunned while writing this.
Rewatch vallue is deffinetly high i would rewatch this anytime as it's an amazing movie, and makes me grounded and more aware of hardships. <3

Three parallel stories are intertwined with the whole film, and at first it looks as if they were not related, to eventually completely combine completely. You have to see this brilliant piece several times to understand all the contexts and perceive each scene, because one next to the other is unique. The gay line is mixed mainly with Transgender and Travesti line. Those who have an understanding of the different differences of sexuality and the identity of human beings will certainly be absorbed by the film, because this problem has its excellent quality, story and acting quality in the project. And from my point of view, the viewer also spiced up with extremely loose actors in the roles of Tonmai-E, Fai-E and young monk Haiz, who receives newcomer Din-A and Suprov played their female roles and Saitarn, Tonlew, Docmai ...
When I made a correction of translation into Czech and everything again after less than a year, when I saw the film for the first time, it fallen (the viewer must be very careful to understand everything at the end) and even though I do not normally look for every film on the theme of Trans, so I cried like a turtle at the end, realized how it was all well and originally thought out ... I can only interpret in the waves only in two ways: either DIN or HAIZ just imagined in dreams or it is at a time, When DIN was no longer in the monastery and HAIZ neither ...
In the end, it is a piece of the director of the current series The Eclipse - Tanwarin Sukkhapisit, which for this film at two world film festivals for directing and the screenplay collected most of the awards (7 victories and 5 nominations). One victory belongs to the best side role actors - Prama Imanothai (FAI -E), this actor also plays in the next movie I saw - Driver


Tři paralelní příběhy se prolínají celým filmem a zezačátku to vypadá, jakoby spolu nesouvisely, aby se nakonec překvapivě zcela spojily. Toto geniální dílko musíte vidět vícekrát, abyste pochopili všechny souvislosti a vnímali každou scénu, protože jedna vedle druhé je jedinečná. Gay linka se mísí především s transgender a travesti linkou. Ten, kdo má pochopení pro různé odlišnosti sexuality a identity lidských bytostí, tak jistě bude snímkem pohlcen, neboť tento problém má v projektu své výborné kvality filmové, příběhové i herecké. A z mého pohledu diváka navíc okořeněno nesmírně sypmatickými herci v rolích Tonmai-e, Fai-e a mladého mnicha Haize, který přijímá nováčka Din-a a suprově zahrály své ženské role i Saitarn, Tonlew, Dokmai ...
Když jsem dělal korekci překladu do češtiny a vše mě do sebe znovu po necelém roce, když jsem film viděl poprvé, zapadlo (divák musí dávat velký pozor, aby na konci všemu porozuměl) a i když ani já běžně nevyhledávám každý film s tématikou trans, tak jsem na konci plakal jako želva , uvědomil si, jak je celkově vše suprově a originálně promyšleno ... Dováděni ve vlnách si mohu vykládat pouze dvěma způsoby: buď si to Din a nebo i Haiz jen představovali ve snech a nebo je to v době, kdy už Din v klášteře nebyl a Haiz taky ne ...
Nakonec je to dílko režisérky současného seriálu The Eclipse - Tanwarin Sukkhapisit, která za tento film na dvou světových filmových festivalech za režii a scénář posbírala většinu z cen (7 vítězství a 5 nominací). Jedno vítězství patří i nejlepšímu herci ve vedlejší roli - Prama Imanothai (postava Fai-e), tento herec hraje i v dalším filmu, který jsem viděl - Driver

TEM QUE ASSISTI ATÉ O FINAL PARA ENTENDER

A história é simples, mas é bem contada nas três histórias que estão ali sendo mostrada!

Lutar pelos seus direitos é dificil!

Pois sempre temos muitos obstáculos na frente do nosso caminho, principalmente alguém para nós amar e respeitar, sem pensar nas opiniões dos outros!

Muitos tem aquele pensamento que mulher é o que já nasce com o órgão feminino!

Mas os homens em geral tem que abri a mente!!

Claro que me deixou de coração partido com esse final!!
