Your Opinions and Comments
I won`t tell you anything else about the plot in order not to ruin it for you.
I can only say that it covers familiar grounds, but does so very well.
The video transfer is good. The palette is very good and delivers Thailand`s colors effectively. There aren`t any compression signs at all.
The DD 5.1 soundtrack is good. Being a drama, there isn`t too much action in the surrounds.
The music is really good and the various songs fit the movie like a glove.
The menus are animated with sound.
The disk contains no extras at all.
Bottom line - a very good movie about friendship, but, alas, a very poor DVD extra-wise.
