The movie is pure and raw, the emotions are extreme while sustaining sincerity. It was a futile attempt escape story to leave the ultraconservative patriarchal town of Pang Noi. The story was typically death, reincarnation, and suicide in order to reincarnate again. The plot is common, but reflects a lot of reality, disowned gay children, gender correction therapy in the military and the likes. The entire first part was a standalone. It ended with a heavy heart. The second part was merely a conclusion in order to reconcile the failures of the former. The story could have been better if it let Dew and Phop be free from the homophobia, let them escape Pang Noi. a lot of movies try to get stuck and die shackled by the Homophobia, and I want movies that are rebellious and deviant from these which focuses on how the characters make a living out of this context.

I do appreciate the acting of the characters, it was really heartfelt and on point, especially Ohm Pawat and Nont Sadanont. It conveyed innocence and bravery in the face of judgement. The dialogue between them was simple yet striking. How the parents acted homophobic was on point, you could definitely feel the pressure in the families.

The cinematography was stunning, and genuine. Especially appreciating the landscapes conveying the lightness or heaviness of mood throughout the story. It blended well with the music of Pchy and other classical Thai music. There were also instrumentals in between conversations and moments that can really set the feeling between the character's conversations.

Rewatch Value, I personally feel close to this movie because of a lot of reasons. Especially the depth of regret and awe it makes me feel. It's so genuine and sincere that it makes me see myself in it. So I rewatch it from time to time to remind myself that I have to soak in the light and glory, that it did not matter what the world thought, what mattered was what Dew and Phop felt for each other. That they would be there even if the world turns its back against them. Ultimately, it was a great movie that I could feel my rejection and the comfort and embrace and home I sought and felt in someone most dearest to me. Everyone seeks that person, someone who makes us feel seen, that even these hardest times, could give greatest gifts. We were defined as who we are, and we will bravely fight the world even against everything.
