CUTE ACTOR: PRAJANPON WONGDONTREE

I don't know if I am the only person who feels like this or not. In ANUENG KID TUENG PEN YANG YING (2009, Bhandit Rittakol, B+ ), I feel uncomfortable watching all the boys and girls playing pranks on the laborers. It's not a harmless prank, but their pranks can cause serious damages on the laborers' personal lives. And this film is not just a comedy in which we should not be serious too much about things happening. Since this film seems to make the viewers care for the boys and girls' feelings for their school, why does the film ignore the laborers' feelings?

I also have this kind of problem with BOONCHU 9 (2008, Bhandit Rittakol, B+/B). There's a long fight scene in this film in which the hero's group fight with the street kids/criminal gangs in order to save a criminal girl from being beaten up by this gang. This long fighting scene seems to make a lot of fun out of hurting these street kids. But I feel a little bit uncomfortable watching it. Somehow I wonder if it is fair or not that the film treats these street kids like this. Surely, we should fight these street kids to save the criminal girl, but does the film go too far? Is this the right attitude? Do these street kids get punished because they really did very bad things? Or do they get punished partly because they are just "supporting characters", not "main characters" like the criminal girl? Or partly because they are not as beautiful as the criminal girl? Or partly because they are not as lucky as the criminal girl to become friend with the hero's group?

The laborers and the street kids in these two films seem to be the opponents or the obstacles to the hero's groups. But are these opponents also human beings? And they are opponents to the hero's groups not because they are really bad persons, but just because they have to earn their living. Do the films present the right attitude towards these supporting characters?

If I remember it correctly, in ANUENG KID TUENG PEN YANG YING, the hero seems to say something which indicates that he does not understand the existence of homosexuality. Is this just an opinion of "a character"?

Anyway, I give this film B+, instead of B, because many actors in this film are cute, including:

ตอนแรกรู้สึกดีใจที่เห็นชื่อ "สุกัญญา มิเกล" เข้าชิงสีสันอะวอร์ด เพราะไม่รู้มาก่อนว่าเธอออกอัลบัมใหม่ กะว่าจะต้องไปหาซื้อมาฟังซะหน่อย แต่ตอนหลังได้ยินเรื่องราวเกี่ยวกับแนวคิดทางการเมืองของเธอ ว่าเธออยู่สีอะไร ก็เลยตัดสินใจไม่อุดหนุนเธอดีกว่า ฮ่าฮ่าฮ่า
