From NGR, there's Valentine, in which a "tom" lesbian (Natthaweeranuch Thongmee) and a cross-dressing man (Chakrit Yamnam) accidentally switch bodies in a traffic collision in Phuket. According to the trailer, after they get over the initial shock, they adapt quite well, with the "tom" lesbian, now in a man's body, more comfortably enjoying her masculine swagger. The transvestite revels in her boost of femininity, and gives her new body a glamorous makeover. The trailer even hints at a romance between the two, which I don't want to puzzle over too much more at this point, if ever.

Why is it that commercial Thai films all seem to feature shrieking gays and screaming women? I try not to watch these films, but unfortunately I can't avoid the trailers, which seem to be compilations of the loudest moments.
ReplyDeleteGhost in Law is the most intolerable of the two. I'm kind of curious to see Valentine, just to see how soft-headed it really is.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's fate, but at the cinema tonight we saw/endured the trailers for both of these films. I guess I shouldn't have complained this morning.
