The plot is very exciting and very concise. The hero, who has lived in a pure and pious village since he was a child, has no idea about the outside world. Because of tracking the Buddha's head, he walked out of the country, and took a small gangster as an opportunity to step into the intricate and unpredictable rivers and lakes.
The little man with double eyelids is very loving, and with the sweet Thai language, it is even greener.
Regarding the aesthetics of violence:
I saw the section where I found the private storage of Buddha statues, and finally realized that in the third world area of ​​the third world countries, you can also play fast cars (fast tractors) with tractors and tricycles. In the Thai music and rhythm, the melody is repeated to highlight the tension of this fast cars.
Realistic: I remember that the host of the tenth screening room said that the action of this film was all punched and kicked by the leading actor. Not only the male lead, but the director is also quite satisfactory. In other words, on the camera, he doesn't play tricks. However, in the early stage, even playing a few games was realistic and a little tired.
Thailand factor. The national significance of Buddhism, Buddha's head, and Muay Thai as cultural heritage is the birthplace of creation. Country and city, piety and commerce, backward and peaceful and developed and degenerate, constitute the context behind the hero's journey.
