Bangkok Dangerous:
1. Made want to visit Thailand
2. Made me really, really want Thai food
Anyway. Bangkok Dangerous is a Hollywood remake of a Thai movie of the same name. Directed by the same people (two brothers, one of whom is named "Oxide"). If I were a director, I don't think I'd want to make the same movie twice...but I might make an exception if the remake were to star Nicolas Cage, who is just awesome. I love him. I love him so much that he gets his own tag on my blog.
This movie had too many cuts to black. The ending was a surprise and refreshing. You don't often see such bleak endings in movies like this.
There was a scene in a really interesting Buddhist temple, but I couldn't find any screen caps and google searches couldn't tell me where it was (weird!)! Not even asking my Thai friend helped. If anyone can tell me the name of that temple, pleas do!
I wanna see the original Bangkok Dangerous now.
I need to see Bangkok Dangerous because I am thinking about going to Thailand in a couple of months.
ReplyDeleteBTW, Nicolas Cage getting his own tag is cool.

haha, actually, i'm not sure how informative this movie would be for a trip to thailand ;p
ReplyDeleteI'm from Thailand and I think the temple you're looking at here might be the Royal Palace at Bangkok. Or maybe Phra Athit Temple. Or one of the temples down at the Ancient City.
