i come out feeling that i have view rubbish . do not bother with it . i have read review and love thailand even to the extent of learn thai and be thus very very disappointed . the film be self indulgent and appear to have no script worth the word and a juvenile edit approach which include text and lengthy black screen and jumbled sequence . there be leap from day to night and and non sequitur to non sequitur and from situation to situation . the dog lie on the road . the dog be happy in the lap . the dog be at the vet and dying of cancer . what have that get to do with anything . the only justification be to show that the village boy be illiterate and unable to fill in the vet form . so what . this be a love affair and do it matter that the boy could or could not read . later on he take pen to paper so maybe he can write but not read . the write dialogue translate from the thai and thus quirky have some effect . the tiger would eat the man flesh and blood and amemories . nice notion . but even the quality of the goodish scene leave much to be desire . good act from the two lead and two lovely moment represent the soldier ask permission to lay his head on the country boy lap and and a show of affection with a long sniff kiss to the hand of the boy and follow by the boy lick kiss the hand of the soldier and follow by an incongruous moment with the boy go off into darkness and the solder rid a mop along a street with a smile on his face . effectively there be two entirely different film present . if only they have reverse these two completely different film and pay attention to link and a firm story line there might have be something which be less painful to sit through . i be astonish at the writer who have go over the top with this film . i be merely confident that anyone who see the film with anything like commonsense objectivity will agree with me . it be not smart to see inferior material a clever art . the scene in the forest be an opportunity for some serious scary moment and but it fail . nothing happen and there be no sense to it all . perhaps the editor be the person to blame for there probably be not a writer or a director on the evidence place on the silver screen by this work . i can not recommend people see it except perhaps to challenge my view . sorry and but very much a miss .
