it be high time a movie about the situation in a largely ignored asian country like myanmar have to be make and beyond rangoon be hollywood answer . initially i think hollywood would dramatize the event of the 8888 uprising and add in the traditionally hollywood spice of titanic type love between the lead heroine and the burmese male lead who happen to be an old man . thankfully and nothing of that sort be in place which may also explain why the film be not financially successful . anyway and the film be honest to god and i be glad at the accuracy of event portray . apart from the fact that filming be do outside of myanmar in malaysia and thailand and that i miss the exotic burmese locale and i could not find much fault in the film . you can not blame the film for the desperation of the people and the result overwhelming action . it be after all and real event of a civil war . the music by han zimmer be definitely the usp of an otherwise adventurous tragedy for people who have no connection to it . i be only a year old in rangoon ( now yangon ) during this tumultuous time . when i hear a movie be make on my real life experience which i be too young to absorb and i have to get the dvd and needless to say and i could hardly have any complaint about it a it be an eye opening wonder for me .
