MY ANSWER TO PETER NELLHAUS AND CURTIS’S COMMENTS:

PETER NELLHAUS AND CURTIS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

LIVING IN THAILAND ALL MY LIFE, I USED TO THINK I WAS VERY HAPPY, ESPECIALLY DURING THE LAST TEN YEARS.

WHY WAS I HAPPY LIVING IN THAILAND? I THINK IT IS PARTLY BECAUSE I USUALLY SPEND MY TIME LIVING IN MY OWN FANTASY WORLD. NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED IN THAILAND, MY OWN FANTASY WORLD IS ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL, AND HAS NO BAD PEOPLE IN IT.

BUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THAILAND LATELY SEEMS TO AFFECT ME SO MUCH THAT I CANNOT ESCAPE FROM REALITY AS I USED TO. I HAVE TO FACE THE FACT THAT LIVING IN THIS COUNTRY SOMEHOW IS LIKE LIVING IN AN ABSURD THEATRE, OR LIKE LIVING IN A KAFKA LAND, OR IN LUIS BUNUEL’S MOVIES.

YES, WHAT HAPPENS TO SYNDROMES AND A CENTURY SOMEHOW REMINDS ME OF A SCENE IN “THE PHANTOM OF LIBERTY” (1974, LUIS BUNUEL, A+), IN WHICH SOME PEOPLE TALKS ABOUT SOME VERY OBSCENE PHOTOS, AND IT TURNS OUT THAT THEY WERE THE PHOTOS OF ORDINARY BUILDINGS.

I USED TO THINK THE PHANTOM OF LIBERTY IS A “SURREAL” MOVIE, BUT NOW I THINK IT MIGHT BE CALLED A REALLY “REALISTIC” MOVIE, BECAUSE WHAT SEEMS TO BE “SURREAL” IS SO SIMILAR TO REAL LIFE IN THAILAND.
