3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing transfer, April 27, 2007

By 

MK (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tears of the Black Tiger (DVD)

Saw this at the theater and was wowed away by how visually stunning this film is. I was excited to order it on DVD, and received it today, but was disappointed by how low quality the transfer is. The colors are dull and blurry compared to what I saw on the big screen. Total let down because the visuals make the movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars a Thai Spaghetti Western, February 27, 2007

This review is from: Tears of the Black Tiger (DVD)

Surreal Western with over saturated color sets and bright costumes that of-set the overt violence.

Boy from the wrong crowd falls in love and turns his back on his ne'er do well gang. Has to fight it out against former allies in the end.

Looking forward to seeing this with proper subtitles and a better film transfer as I have the Thai DVD that came out several years ago....and believe me it WAS HARD TO FIND!

That's because Thailand is all that, and much more.

The five stars are because I love Thailand. If I could, I've have given it ten stars. But because of barrage of melodramatic - okay, corny - cliches, the cacophony of tossing everything familiar film trick into a cinematic blender, imposing the unique Thai logic, making incredible production gaffs first year film students would avoid and the really misleading hype of its marketing, I just can't. It's not clever parody nor artistic exaggeration; it's just seems an adolescent idea of such. Then too, Amazon just wouldn't allow 10 stars anyway.

Well, 'Mai Pen Rai'. Support this movie as a homage to Thai cinematic growing pains. That Thai phrase means 'Never mind, it doesn't matter'.
Oh, and the art direction, a Thai forte, is real pretty.

Better to recommend THE LEGEND OF SURIYOTHAI. It's as colorful and imbibed with Thai spirit, but less of a parody in a blender. And more informative re Thai history, too.
