Midnight My Love
Recommanded by Arpnam lovers haha

Director: Kongdej Jaturanrasmee
Cast: Petchtai Wongkamlao a.k.a Mum Jokmok a.k.a “Dirty Balls”, Woranut Wongsawan
Year: 2005
Running Time: 91 minutes



a lonely set in his ways middle age taxi driver, and he keeps his typical humor tied in a straightjacket as he remains passive and almost uncommunicative throughout the film. Much of this as viewers learn later is due to a shocking episode in his past that seems to have sucked the life out of him. He does the late shift on the empty streets of Bangkok and prefers it that way – when he can drive and listen to a radio station that plays old fashioned ballads, radio soap operas and reads letters from the lovelorn and lost in the big city. His days pass one like every other one as he isolates himself from all but a few other taxi drivers.


One evening he sees a young woman being mistreated by a man, but minds his own business and drives away – but a few nights later he picks her up along with her co-workers in front of a large massage parlor and drives her home. He begins to make a point of being there at the closing hour every night and soon Nual (Woranut – a TV soap star) begins to hire him to take her home every night and slowly tries to bring him out of his shell by treating him to McDonalds and shopping in the mall. As lovely as she is, she is just as empty in her own way – losing a bit of her soul to every client that chooses her behind the glass fishbowl. Bati writes to the radio DJ “Our jobs are similar. Once I’ve delivered my passenger I don’t know where to go because the destination was not mine. It is the same with her”



But just as you begin to lie back in comfort waiting for the inevitable romance to take place, the film suddenly takes a startling dark turn that throws many of these expectations into a drainage ditch, but when all seems lost an ending that seems inspired by the ending of “Comrades: A Love Story” will warm your cold heart and colder feet. There are no passionate fireworks in the film – it is extremely simple and much of the time it is Bati just listening to his station and imagining himself in the radio soaps (the only sections where Jokmok is more like his usual self as he parodies them wonderfully). As good as Woranut is – and she received a Thai film nomination for her role – the fact that she is stunningly lovely makes the romance take on a bit of a fantasy aspect – it really is hard to imagine her with the suppressed much older Bati – but nevertheless you sure want them to be. This is the director’s second film – his first was the well-received Sayew and he also wrote the script to “The Letter”, a very popular tear drenched romance from a few years ago.

Jan Dara (Thai: จัน ดารา) - another movie that many would have crowded the box office for the love of christy chung. i guess this was a case of what they may say, $ talks. rich man can afford many wives & concubines... the old man was literally screwing most of the women living under his roof. towards the end, there's narrator utters about karma issues as well.

i rate it: 3¼* out of a possible 5*

Synopsis
Jan is a young man growing up in 1930s Siam in a wealthy, dysfunctional family where sex has a huge impact on everyone's lives. Jan Dara is viewed by his father, Khun Luang, as cursed, since his mother died in childbirth. The abusive Luang is a womaniser who has sex with many woman in front of the portrait of his late wife.

The younger sister of Jan's mother, Aunt Waad, is brought in to care for Jan. Luang has sexual relations with her, which raises causes young Jan to be jealous, since he has developed feelings for Waad. Waad and Luang have a daughter, who is the apple of Luang's eye. From the beginning, he teaches her to hate the "bastard Jan". Waad, in return, treats Jan like her own son and despises Kaew.

Later another of Khun Luang's women, the sophisticated nymphomaniac Boonlueang, moves into a guesthouse on the estate, and she teaches Jan his first lessons in the ways of love.

Jan is then framed for the rape of Kaew, who was having relations with the son of one of the family's maids. But it is Jan who ends up punished for Kaew's transgressions. Later, it emerges that Kaew is pregnant. To smooth over the damage to the family's reputation, Jan is asked to return to the family estate and is forced into an arranged marriage with his half-sister Kaew. He does so, as long as he's promised the deed to the estate, which he views as a form of vindication against his father for the abuse he endured from him during his childhood.

Kaew, meanwhile, enters into a lesbian relationship with Boonlueang. Further, she refuses to have the baby she's carrying, and with Boonlueang's assistance, performs a bloody, self-administered abortion.

Jan subsequently finds himself repeating the libidinous patterns of his father, going as far as to have sex with a maid in his father's sitting room, in front of the portrait of his mother. Jan wonders why he can't escape the cycle of sexual abuse started by his father. Then it is revealed that Jan is the product of a gang rape of his mother.

Summary:
Filmmaker Stuart Kershaw embarks on a journey through Thailand's red light districts to investigate the world's largest sex industry. This exploration of international sex tourism turns expectation on its head, in an expedition that is as brutal in its honesty as it is unexpected in its conclusions. But who are the victims? Are parents selling their children into brothels to finance lavish Western lifestyles? Or do orphans fill the demand - smuggled into sex-work after disasters like the Tsunami? Stuart bulldozes a host of Thailand's urban myths whilst viciously affirming widespread exploitation and deceit.

Hi,

I got this original DVD from DVD shop @ one of the BTS three months ago. Can't recall which station, It cost me 200 Bahts for 2 DVD movies as the shop was having a retail promotion. It's indeed a nice movie, quite action pack, the ancient time of fighting. But my friend borrowed the DVD & lost it. Buy the original version as it comes with the Thai censor board endorsement, not only the quality is good at the same time @ the SG custom, when the ICS officer checks the DVD, show them the receipt & the DVD cover with the thai authority's endorsement, just tell them this is original not pirated copy. They unlikely penalise us, the most they will ask us to submit the DVD to censor board for further screening. Cheers.

[issan_madboy]

anyone knows of any shops selling bangkok dangerous?would like to get my hands on a copy as it is a cult classic.

[siamcutey]

This Bangkok Dangerous, I ever went to JB to find. They say no longer in circulation.

Went to Thailand, they say its 97, and no longer in circulation too.

The only place to lay hands on the physical stuff is probably to try HK websites.

*For info, seems Bangkok Dangerous remake will be available next year 2008 starring Nicholas Cage. (omg, y him)
