''I've learnt the meaning of friendship, and how valuable it is''
A new boy, called Song, joins ''SPERM'' (yes, that's really their group name). He is not experienced with things like clubbing and fighting but they all accept him and he becomes more comfortable with it over time. This movie may not seem like the most original one, but it has it's twists that will make it stand out. Since it's a movie that contains a lot of characters, there's not much character development. But for this movie, that wasn't really neccesary either. What's most important is how they value their friendship and help each other out. The group faces a lot of obstacles but they'll always be there for each other.
This movie will make you laugh and cry and it kept me at the edge of my seat. I really enjoyed the pace of this movie, it never got boring. It's also realistic, there are stronger fighters, but it's not the type of movie where you will see enemies flying in the air by one hit.
In my opinion the acting was really good, especially the actors of Gun and Name did well. The side characters did a good job too.
Even though I watched this movie last night I can't really recall much of the music except the song that came at the end, which was beautiful. And listening to it again it gives me goosebumps.
Overall I really enjoyed this movie and I do really recommend it for everyone. Even for the romance lovers, there is a bit romance. But it's far from being the main element. This movie is really worth your time. I'm sure I will watch this movie again later on.

What a nice movie my friends, what a nice movie...I think my heart is still in a roller coaster of emotions... Right in the feels!
The movie tells the story of a group of friends who are always involved in street fights and getting in troubles. They call themselves -sperm- and their leader -who is the center of the story- is Gun, played by Mario Maurer, who did (as always) a great job here. The story also focuses on the new member of the gang called Song, who is totally adorable ^_^
The story of their friendship is so touching from beginning to end. The movie manages to take the viewer into the journey of these friends, we can see and feel their love, their feelings, their bonding, their problems, and pressures...Until we actually feel part of the -sperm- gang :)
This story teaches a great lesson, FRIENDSHIP IS FOREVER, no matter what you do, how many mistakes or how lost you are, a good friend will always grab your hand and get you out of the huge mess you are in. A good friend never dies. :3
I loved this quote from the movie, it is said by our leader :)
“ Song… You must remember,
We are fighters, not gangsters.
Men fight until there’s a winner, never to kill.” – GUN
Oh my dear Gun, you are so wise. He's a loveable character. He is wise and true to himself.
I think it's important to point that the story is based on real facts... Thinking that 40 years ago a group of friends used to call themselves -sperm- and got to build such a strong bond of friendship forming the most respected band of Chiang Mi's streets, is totally awesome. It makes me love this movie more and also feel it deeper.

I just needed to write my thoughts about the ending. I loved it, I know it's a sad ending it totally destroyed my heart, I cried oceans when he died, and the way he did! But the way he stayed strong until the very end in front of their friends, the fact that he was dying but he had to get in time to his meeting with the girl. omg! For sure Gun is a character I will always love :)
Finally this last quote:
-Though there won't be a man named Gun anymore,
he will remain as a great memory in our hearts forever...
Today two members of sperm have lost their lives.
The rest are now living their lives mindfully,
the violence in their teen years has become a painful memory they want to forget-
And tears just keep falling.
