Chocolate - Thailand

          Director:  Prachya Pinkaew
          Year:  2008
          Plot:  “An autistic woman with powerful martial art skills looks to settle her ailing mother's debts by seeking out the ruthless gangs that owe her family money.”


          I finally got to see this movie after much awaiting.  I was so happy to have been able to find it at F.Y.E.  I love that store to death.  Anyway I did really enjoy this movie.  It was just as good as Raging Phoenix (which was actually done after this one -.-’). 
          All of the people watching this one with me loved this movie.  The fight scenes were just great for me.  I love to see things done realistically.  Though I do understand that stunt people need too be used for very very dangerous stuff, I can’t really accept it for little stuff.  In this one Jeeja Yanin did her own stunts, and this is proven by the clips of injuries at the end of the film.  Seeing that they went through some painful stuff just makes this one easier to appreciate.
          I really didn’t see too much wrong with this movie.  I am really in love with this one.  I am sure there are points that could have been better, but I am not sure what they are.  I have read that some people find the acting bad in this movie, but I didn't really see where there was any really.  Maybe I was just interested in the movie enough to not notice, or the people thinking this way are wrong.  I am not sure which one it is.  n.n


          I absolutely loved this movie.  There might be some reasons why you might not like this one as much as me, but really it is at least worth a watch.  Also if you like this one but haven’t seen Raging Phoenix, you should, and vise versa.
