This movie is very similar with another movie that is called Amarutalai

The main character are: Puti (Patchapa Narmparn); Tem (Srisika Jensen)
The setting is mostly in the forest, and cave, and in an ancient temple, and the building in the city where the labritaory is.
The main situation is that long, long before, many, many thousands of year ago, there is a kingdom called Maha na korn Bangbot. This kingdom live a king, and the king have a queen. And as time goes by the king falled in love with the loyal secretary of the king, and when the queen notice that, she have an evil plan. Because in this town there is 2 crystal that belong to the king and this crystal is very powerful and there is a tale that who ever drink and bath in the crystal they will never die and become more powerful. But this crystal have a cursed that who ever swallowed the crystal they will have a power, but they will die if they don’t bring the crystal out before the crystal started to destroy the body.

So after 4000 years they were born again as an historian so the king who is still a lived tries to be able to torture the royal secretary again because of the anger that he keep it in him for thousands and thousands of years.

What will happen next you can watch this in the full version with a length of the movie of 50 hours long and over millions of dollar have been spend on the production of this movie, and 5 years of movie production.

Analysis of the film

I think that it involved convolute, because many things is combined, like they combined the history to the modern. It is also realistic because now in the present there is a place were they research for the ancient stuff and it is very interesting to see the thing from the history.
In this movie most of the time they speak in a normal way, but when it is time that they are remembering the history or the history and the present meet each other people began to speak in an old language that some words I don’t really understand.
I think that the theme of this movie is history because nearly everything is about history.
I found some symbol in the movie like in the beginning of the movie it is showing the professor going into the ancient temple and he uses the bird key to open the door to the temple where the king was. Then in the middle of the movie, they showed it again that the another professor come in again with the bird.
I feel that the actor is really like they are really them and the even is really happening. Because they can be able to react to the situation very well. Which I really enjoyed it.
In the beginning they usually wear like a modern dress, nothing special, but they have guns and satellite, and so many hi-tech stuff that were used in the military. It is very unique to what i have seen in the another movie.
In the movie they use a lot of camera movement. I notice that not even 30 second yet they change the camera, and I get to see the different point of view of each character, so I think that they are making this movie look very interesting. I also see that they use every kind of lens angle.
This movie have a lot of quick cuts, the editing is really good, they can hide every thing that will make people notice nothing is wrong in the movie. They is a lot of magic inside.
There are many sound effect, and normally the movie in Thailand have allot of sound effect, the American movie doesn’t have that much sound effect like in the Thai movie. They also added a sound effect to make everything look so creepy when they get inside the temple. The bird sound is super scary.

This movie is my favorite movie of this year so far.
