Okay i like thai movies, they are interesting, gritty new and off the wall.
I have seen in the last week
Ong Bak
Bangkok Haunted 1
Bangkok Haunted 2
and something else i dont remember.
what do these films have in common? UWE my friends, UWE.
okay. I will say first, maybe my copy, or the last two, of BH1 have been shit. Stories out of order, scenes i feel were missing, half an entire segment of the movie in another story, imagine three stories, like creepshow. cept an editor fucked up and put the first ones ending in the middle of the last story.
MY DVD ASIDE.
the first story...SUCKED...it could have been good, but there was a girl with nails, with razors, that had something to do with a drum and you never see here again. But find out she was someone who went missing, then someone got possesed and something else happend...hmm.
I am going to submit my review on this, to the editor, but sufficed to say the second story was great...and i fast forwarded the last one. I read a detective mystery book, 3 minute murders, which let you try to figure out what happened back in the mid 80s..the hacks just took that story and remade it.
BH2 nothing to do with the first, thank god. Nice...well okay movie. The lead lady was...average, nothing to write home to mom. Hated her hair cut...The smoking while pregnant thing.lol thats so not in anymore
pretty okay story, more of a mystery then a ghost story, but sort of mixed.
NOW THAI CINEMA.
imagine you write a 100 page movie, then you take the middle give it to some guy tell him to rewrite it, giving onyl vague outlines of what happens before and after and watch what happens.
THEN.
Cut scenes out and dont explain shit. Just take a whole relevant sense making scene and throw it out. Add sloppy ediitng so that a scene runs over the next.
DOnt bother to subtitle everything, have the worst english grammer in teh world. Add some shit in that dosnt make sense and then to top it off run the translations by either to fast, or over white backgrounds.
GRRR....Thai film is good, its interesting but very sloppy. I think thats the key problem. Much like the korean films use to be. Editing is a trick best left to the proffestionals. Its like a ton of money went to make it. and then some director slapped some editors sister, or pissed in his coffee and the editor does everything to fuck up the story.
Oh BTW...heres a twist ending.
have a big lead up, hint at a great ending, or at least a logical one, then dump that idea and run the alternatvie, we need this film done now, oh and fuck the director ending.
YOu seen the eye 2, the whole concept of reincarnation yadda yadda mother baby...then hint at it, forshadow it....HAVE THE VILLAN scream it at a ghost then forget to add it at the end.
jsut like Ong bak, lets jsut take out about a minute and twenty seconds and leave it at home.
sigh it better get fixed, and some editors need to be shot or i wont stick it out much more in thai films!
