Movie Time

Sunday afternoon rolled around and we had some down time.  Leah and I decided to go to the mall, so we took the sung-tow, a local taxi that is made out of a pick-up truck with benches in the back of it.  When we arrived, we decided to see a movie.  How cool would it be to see Bangkok Dangerous in Thailand?  We thought it was pretty cool….

We bought our sodas, paid for our tickets and took a seat in the amazing theater.  It reminded us of home and it was really exciting!  We stood for a song dedicated to the King that plays right before the movie. 

Finally the movie began, but there was something wrong: it was in Thai!!  What?!  We couldn’t believe it!  But, it did make sense after we thought about it.  It was filmed in Thailand and most of the actors were Thai, except for Nicolas Cage. 

Even though we disappointed at first, it actually became kind of fun to watch a movie in another language.  We couldn’t understand any of the words, but most of the time we could tell the mood by their facial expressions.  We made it fun, thinking of what they could be saying, filling in the lines that they were saying. 

The thing that didn’t really make sense was the ending.  I have no idea how it all fit into the plot of the movie… maybe English would have helped a little, but it’s okay.  I’ll watch it when I get home in June…
