Saw a link posted by a friend on facebook, so decided to just stream the video at work.
This Thai movie was broken down to 8 different video files, and it took me a while to finish the entire movie.
Basically this movie is about this tomboy and girl who are room mates, and how to venture into this journey to find out that they were in love with each other. Story line is as common as any other romance movie, but this is one of the few lesbian/gay movies which made it. The thai tomboy was unexceptionally handsome, and the other leading character was gorgeous!
But what made me felt like I could relate to this movie is that most of the lesbians I know would come to a crossroad when they would have to let their families know (if not already) about their unusual interest in the same gender. Most families could never accept that fact since it's out of the norm practice to be attached to the same sex. This movie was exactly what it was about.
The tomboy (in the movie) was courageous enough to walk to the girl's mum, and tell her that she loves her daughter. But like every other girl, she was afraid that the mum would be angry so she denied that it was true love that she's feeling and both of them were stuck in a heart ache. However, the ending of this movie was a happy one, when the girl went to look for the tomboy to apologize and they got back together. All in all, it was an awesome movie - and I would be devastated if they didn't end up together in the end.
"Thank you. Thanks for daring to love me."
I am kinda affected by this movie, because we went through the exact dilemma before this. When the missus' mum found out about us, her mum went to confront her, but the missus, told her that this is who she is, and she has to accept it, no matter what. Well, now her mum still has a hunch that we are together, but we try not to rub it in, so I have to let her spend time with the family during the weekends. Don't want to ruin the family right?
I always think, what if the situation were to be reversed?
Would I be able to handle this so calmly, and not runaway?
Yes, I can be very open to other people, but when it comes to my own family, I am not afraid that they would be angry or disappointed, but the pressure that my family would indirectly get from the other side of the family - that's what's hurtful. To see my family having to bear the discrimination, that's what's awful.
