There are many Thai films which are on showtime today such as Tukky, 8E88, Pop star, Sorry Saranghaeyo, etc. However, the movie that's being observed mostly is "Uncle Boonmee" which just won Palme d'Or at the Cannes film festival. I think this award is the honor of Thai Cinema Association and it could be an inspiration in working hard of many Thai directors.
"Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives" was directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, concerning a man who is dying from kidney failure as the ghost of his dead wife returned to tend him and his long-lost son came home in the form of a furry jungle spirit. This movie takes place in the Northeast and characters speak in their own language which is Isan. Moreover, it also describes about local culture, belief, value and living of people in that area. "Uncle Boonme" got the highest honor in the world, the Palme d'Or at the Cannes film festival 2010. It makes Thai Cinema Association is kept an eye on by many viewers all over the world and makes people who are fans of Apichatpong or who don't, interest and want to see this movie. Uncle Boonmee got the innocuous 15-plus label and will be publicized on one screen at SFX Emporium for Thai people could have chance to watch this Thai honorary movie.
In my opinion, I feel very proud with this news as one of Thai people. I think this award is a pride of Thai Cinema Association absolutely and it is an honour award of Thai director as Apichatpong Weerasethakul as well. Besides that, It also makes Thai movies to be famous and attracted by many viewers all over the world to follow up on Thai movies. Not only that I tell you but I think it could an inspiration and encourage Thai teenagers who want to be the directors to work hard for success like Apichatpong.
