Sibha kham doan sib ed (2002)
One of the best films focusing on the Naga-Full Moon event
Mekong Full Moon Party focuses on the mysterical event on the Nong Khai province of Thailand on every October, where unidentified fireballs pops up from the Mekong River. To the locals, it is believed to be the fireball made from naga, a holy creature in Buddhism; while to the scientists/modernists, it is done by the force of nature.
The movie is well-researched, focusing on different arguments from different sides. However, one thing that makes the movie less realistic/lack the originality is the leading character is not from the Northeast of Thailand and lack the skills of speaking from the Issan or Lao accent.
To the Thai, this is a big flaw, but to the non-Thais this might not be the case.
But to conclude, it is one of the best films focusing on this event. Beautifully made!
Dead Poets Society (1989)
One of the best film of all time, for "free thinkers"
I watched this film the first time when I was 10 or something, but was falling in love with the film when I was 17. The same age of Knox Overstreet, Todd Anderson, and other guys in the movie.
"Dead Poets Society" talks about the lives of the students in the "Welton Academy", an elite prep-school preparing the students to ivy league school. These students were brought up in a strict and mainstream families.
All unexpectedly, the students are exposed to Mr. Keating, an English teacher whose will change their lives through "free-will" thinking.
One of the best film of all time!
