A masterpiece of tropical oriental mysticism

Bond's one is as charming as ever. A masterpiece of tropical oriental mysticism, Chinese audiences are not in the tropics, and it is difficult to appreciate the ghostly world of the Thai people. As always, the charming ambient sound allows the viewer to be in the nature at any time. The magnanimous Thai people get along closely with themselves and their families (including ghosts and animals and the afterlife after reincarnation) in nature. Uncle Boonmee has remorse and believes in retribution, but the reason for the state machine represented by the army gave him the best solution. The wife's previous life was an ugly princess, but in the eyes of catfish, she was the most beautiful, because catfish was Uncle Boonmee's previous life.

The nephew became a monk to pray for Uncle Boonmee's blessings, and the Chinese audience was stunned again. You must know that the most filial behavior of Thai men to their elders is to become a monk. Of course, the nephew who just became a monk is still not used to it, and he returned to his relatives. This behavior is not legal, but the Thai people can understand. At the end of the film, the nephew can clearly see the state of watching TV with his family (the ability of monks to observe), and at the same time, he also goes out to eat and sing with his family. A very healing Bond movie!
