Another bad movie experience

I went to see a movie at the local cinema on my afternoon off yesterday. Part of the reason for doing this is for language learning.

There were only two movies showing, a very graphic horror movie or the movie pictured above. I didn't know what the Thai meant so I only had the picture to go by. So I bought a ticket and went in not knowing really what to expect.

Unfortunately it was another bad choice. The plot is that a girl's school wants to have a guys football team, so it's the first year that the school allows boys to enroll. But, there are only 16 boys who come to enroll and 7 of them turn out to be transsexual. Need I say anymore. I guess in Australia we had Priscilla Queen of the Desert. But that was a one off. In Thailand there are many movies with a transsexual bent. It is reflective of the society where it is acceptable to be transsexual. At Thai schools you'll see some male students with makeup and lipstick, in male uniform but acting very feminine.

This is the other poster for the movie. Now if I had seen this before I bought my ticket I would not have been fooled.

A scene from the movie to give you a bit of an idea.

Fortunately there were trailers for some movies coming up which looked much more promising. X-Men Wolverine; Terminator 4, The Shinjuku Incident.
