CLIFFHANGER

Watching this as an American who doesn't know much about Thai Culture and Folklore, I'd have to say that this was both diappointing in that it only lasted 23 minutes and didn't have enough time to develop the whole plot and explain elaborately the whole meaning and belief behind the Folklore of Phi Ta Khon. So in that regard I was truly disapppointed that it was so brief and truly believe that it should be developed more to fill in the gaps as I personally see great potential in it being a successful movie or series cause it definitely left off on a cliffhanger that left me wanting more. As for the short movie itself I think it was very well done and although I may be biased cause I simply love him, but none of the other Thai Actors that I foullowed could have done this movie better than Krit Krittin Sosungnern. Although he's relatively new to the acting scene and hasn't done much, but with both Love By Chance 2 and now Those That Follow, it is clear and evident that IF he chooses to continue his acting career, that Krit Krittin Sosungnern will be a definite force to reckon with. Both Kritt's appearance and his acting combined gives you the sense that although he's an actor by occupation, that he's not really acting but he's bringing his character to life by completely emersing himself in the role.

Without giving any spoilers I would have to say that this short movie covers a range of topics even in that brief time. Partly about traditions, crime, consequences, personal responsibility, inner conflicts, paranoia, loyalty, family, doing things that you're neither proud of nor want to do because you think it's the right thing in the moment and much more which I why I believe that this should become a whole entire full length movie or a series rather than just leaving it as this short. After watching this, I am truly intrigued not only by Kritt's ability to convey the plot, but I am left wanting to know more about the Phi Ta Khon as I previously mentioned, I also want to know the full story of how the characters ending up in the predicament that they ultimately found themselves in and definitely a full conclusion that doesn't leave room for interpretation.

Overall, I think that it is an enjoyable short and that people should watch it and could keep rewatching it without getting bored of it cause each time they may notice something that they hadn't noticed before. Congratulations Mr. Krit Krittin Sosungnern, you definitely proved yourself in this one for sure IF anyone still doubted you after Love By Chance 2.
