Bangkok Love Story (2007)
It can be said that the position of Thai queer films in Thai films is quite large. The Last Song released in 1985 was the first Thai queer film In the following years, Tortured Love (1987) and I Am a Man (1987) continued to be released. These three films were considered the first wave of Thai queer cinema. After that, they seem to have released it again around 2000 during the New Wave era. I don't see much in between. Until this year, there wasn't a lot of production. Bangkok Love Story is one of the great Thai Queer Films that didn't exist around the 2000s. But it was not easy to release. During pre-production It was objected to by the Thai police and encountered difficulties with censorship. It's a car that men like, but it's a car that people like to be rough and tough, without any frills Although the 2 actors can say that this movie is similar to Anne Lee's Brokeback Mountain The director said he had the idea before shooting Brokeback Mountain. But from a personal point of view, Brokeback Mountain had scenes similar to Wayne Carrey's Happy Together. Even if this car is free from Brokeback Mountain, it will be free from Happy Together. I feel that there is little inspiration with the show. The story is that there is a contract killer named Moe Taim. He is not killing people because he wants to kill them. It's a murderous nation that has no money to support my mother and brother. But his position is clear. He didn't kill the good guy at all. Then one day, his employer asked him to arrest and kill a man called Kyak. Kyauk was a good man and the person who gave him the job was a scoundrel, so instead of killing Kyauk, he decided to kill the person who gave him the job. From here, he was injured and ran away with Kyauk, and their love story began. Moe Taim has a brother named Mu. His younger brother had HIV from their stepfather when they were young, and his mother was dying of AIDS. Mo Taim's intention was to call his mother and brother and go somewhere far away, but when something happened early, all his plans were thrown into chaos. Later, I created a connection between the stone and the cloud and the fog, and about the three of them The love story of the 2 of them is brought to life as a sketchy story full of apartment fights. Bangkok Love Story was considered the boldest Thai queer film of its era, with its overt use of sex scenes. The cinematography is not bad, the movie is not bad, and the theme song of this movie is pretty good. That song is "Yahk-Roo...Tae-Mai-Yahk-Taam" by Calories Blah Blah. Sometimes OSTs have the ability to send a movie into our hearts and make us never forget it. This movie is a movie that you will never forget.
