Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives

I was introduced to this module by watching Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives by Apichatpong Weerasethakul (2010) during the third week of class since I enrolled in late...and for my last film diary entry, I shall do a response to this movie using my film photos I took in Chiang Mai, since this movie transported me back to the enjoyable relaxing holidays I had in Thailand before the hectic university life commenced.


Monrak Transistor


Monrak Transistor by Pen-Ek Ratanaruang (2001) is a delightful movie filled with retro themes. The way the director inserted slapstick moments despite the twist and turns in the plot makes the movie slightly more light-hearted to watch. I loved the radio Pan gave Sado, it is such a pretty piece of vintage charm!

Nang Nak


Nang Nak by Nonsee Nimibutr (1999) is a Thailand horror movie based on an ancient Thailand legend which spoke about a female ghost Nak’s undying love towards her husband, which entailed her lingering spirit by her husband Mak’s side and eventually, wrecking lives in the village when there were attempts to inform Mak that Nak is actually a ghost.

Shutter

I watched Shutter by directors Banjong Pisanthanakun and Parkpoom Wongpoom (2004) few years back, despite the passing of years and watching a few other horror movies after this film, I have to say The Shutter remains one of the best horror flicks I have ever watch, it still makes me jump from my seat when I watch it!
