I wasn't going to do a review on this movie, but I felt the need to since there was no review on this movie. Story:
First of all, this movie was too long. It was so long that I didn't really understand the movie or the message it was trying to give. I don't even know if it was trying to be a romance or a life type of drama.
I didn't really understand the plot, but this is what I got. The movie is about a girl who works on Thaniya Street. This street is basically filled with call girls and stuff. They get men from all over the world, but from my guess, they are mostly Japanese men. Later on this guy comes in and I think they start traveling around Thailand (I think). At the very end they leave each other and it seems like they went their own ways. Again, that's my own understanding of the plot.
I think this movie had so much potential, but the plot was so confusing. It could've been so much shorter than it actually was. Like it was 3 hours. If you are wondering why I even watched this movie, it was because it was there. I also was like 10 minutes in and didn't realize until then that it was 3 hours long. I feel like they could've cut down the movie and focus on certain parts. It was even more confusing when there were characters that spoke English and it was a little bit about them.
If you want to watch it for the plot, I'm warning you.
Cast:
The best part of the movie was the cast and that's saying a lot. The only reason for that is because the actors and actresses could actually speak multiple languages so when they switch from Japanese to Thai or to English it was bearable.
Overall:
I don't recommend this movie at all. But I guess if you want a movie about life this movie exists. I'm warning you though, the movie is 3 hours. Personally, I give this movie 4.5/10.
