Man Suang

The directing, cinematography, make up and wardrobe and all of the actors skill are good. How khem dance and flexibility, chat play tamphon perfectly, wan expression cos lot of his scene is using facial expression, tong elegance also all other actors express their character are really good. The color grading and set is beautiful. However the plot and story line is kinda drop my expectation. Maybe i set the bar too high cos the trailer and ost are so amazing. The story line is kinda go here and there. The problem -even tho its connected- i think are too many, the flashback of story not really can explain the character main story and hard to understand. Also about dancing and playing tamphon, consider they practice it for a long time, i think they gonna emphasized this more, unfortunatelly not. If they target international market to introduce thai culture, imo "mansuang" need to emphasize more about the dance and instrument (i might be wrong, just my opinion). Some scene kinda makes me confused. Idk if it because i am not really understand the history, the mansuang organization structure, or thai inside jokes cos i am non thai or what. Cos if BOC market target is international I think mansuang need to explain it a bit of it in the beginning (?) or maybe they already did it but i am not get it. Maybe they can give another 15-30 minute to explain it, would be great. Put aside me as mileapo fans this is my honest opinion. I think this movie storyline saved is because all of the actor express the character and the cinematography. BOC cinematography from KPTS always good. Will, watch it again to understand deeper about mansuang thoughtfully. Maybe can change my rate and opinion.

"Spellbinding and visually captivating, Mansuang seamlessly weaved together traditional dancing done by Apo playing Khem and drumming by Mile that played Chatra left me utterly mesmerized. The film's meticulous attention to historical detail transported me to a bygone era, while the graceful movements created an immersive experience that was both culturally enriching and emotionally resonant. The choreography was a true masterpiece, reflecting the essence of Thai artistic heritage. Each scene felt like a living canvas, blending artistry, history, and music into a harmonious symphony. This cinematic gem not only celebrated the nation's rich cultural tapestry but also transported the audience to a realm where history came alive through the power of dance and rhythm. A must-watch for anyone who appreciates the fusion of art, history, and emotion on the big screen."

From the story to the acting of every single actors were excellent! No one dragged anyone down nor no one needed to carry anyone. Everyone played their roles expertly! The cinematography was excellent with great colouring. It's the result of whole teams months of hard work. Actors, dancers, directors, writers, cameraman, makeup artist everyone player their role excellently. It's a very good representation of Thai culture and political situation of then time and at the same time it'll resonant with current situation of many countries as well. The main leads Mile PhakPhum as Chat and Apo Nattawin as Khem played their roles so well. Not only them the character Wan played by Bas Asavapatr will steal your heart! Also Tong Thanayut showed off his amazing acting skill as Hong! This is a movie that should be watched by everyone! The emotions of every character was spectacularly portrayed!

As a fan of both Mile and Apo for over a year now I have to say they definitely out did themselves they both portrayaed so many emotions and did a wonderful job at it I can feel it will be best movie of 2023 I'm not saying this because I'm a fan , even if I wasn't I would still agree Bas And Tong an amazing job as well overall I am proud to be a fan of theirs and watching Thai culture has made me learn of a lot of things it was done beautifully ,Thai traditional dancing and the tapestry of politics was like embarking on a mesmerizing journey through time. The film masterfully transported me to an era where every graceful movement of the dancers held deeper meanings.

After watching mansuang,let me give you my opinion. First of all,mansuang is advertised as a mystery drama with a flip ,although there is a little too much to express, but it is worth going to the theater to see. Secondly ,it's costumes and props are very beautiful, the scenes are beautiful, the theme song is very good and it is very appropriate. Finally ,I want to say that Apo gives people an amazing feeling,not only his dancing is beautiful but also he successfully shaped the character of Khmer. In the movie ,you will be sad because of his sadness. You will understand the struggle of this person .You will understand his choice. Khem is very much alive in the film.

A unique and compelling story that captivates the viewer till the very end. There are a lot of subtle and deep nuances in the plot that keep the viewers engaged and constantly guessing. The characters are well-developed, and their journeys are filled with unexpected twists and turns. All the actors did an incredible job at playing their respective roles, bringing the characters to life with their exceptional performances. The film's cinematography and visual effects further enhance the storytelling, creating a visually stunning experience for the audience. Additionally, the film's soundtrack perfectly complements the narrative, adding an extra layer of emotion and intensity to the overall viewing experience. This movie truly has all the elements of a cinematic masterpiece. I strongly suggest seeing this film.

If your taste is more into pop culture, you won't be able to appreciate this movie. The screenplay can be easily converted to stage, and that is the beauty of Mansuang. You can watch it over and over and discover new things in the background, catch more humor and understand the underlying meaning hidden in its dialogue and stance. You can tell that Apo worked hard on his art. Bas was a wonderful surprise. Mile was fantastic, and Tong had me on a chokehold during the movie's climax. This movie was worth the wait and it shows. In an era chock full of CGI and blunt flare, this masterpiece is an ode to the classics.
