My fingers are already itching to
write a blog about “Pee Mak”, well I don’t know why I kinda felt this sensation
that urges to me write about this but one thing is for sure, Pee Mak is
PHENOMENAL.
Warning: This blog may contain spoilers. Oh, let me rephrase that: This blog is filled with spoilers.
As we all know the story of Pee Mak
is a combination of horror, comedy, and romance, But I was impressed more of
the Plot Twist. Thailand makes good stories with astounding plot twists. Like
the other movie of Mario Maurer “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” which made us
make tiny gasps and cover our mouths with realization of what really happened. This
movie will really make you think of different possibilities because they kept
on giving reasons and conclusions of who the ghost really was. They didn’t turn
the movie into a complete horror that will make you scream and terrify yourself
out; instead they turned it to something you will always remember, I am totally
serious, the day we watched Pee Mak, I couldn’t sleep, I kept thinking about it
and I woke up like 2 to 3 times in the dawn and my mind was still thinking of
some scenes on Pee Mak. I like how they can manipulate our minds with their
creativity and originality. It involves the reality of how friends really act
when they undergo that kind of situation. For me, the 4 friends of Mak made the
movie really funny, their acting and the comedy was light and was effective.
Their acting was so good that they really tickled the viewers, PLUS the characterization
of each of the 4 friends was perfect including their appearances. I was also
impressed with Nak (Davika Hoorne) who effortlessly made the film scary, cuz she
really is scary, I was also fooled in the part where they all thought,
including me, my mom and my sisters, that Mak (Mario Maurer) was the one that
was really dead, I saw how different Nak acted from when she was the one
reckoned as a ghost to being the one that is alive, she turned normal, not
stiff and natural ––and that worked.
My
favorite part of the film is when they were all on the boat and Ter in the
front is bending and looking between his legs to see who the ghost really was,
and the others kept on blocking the view of Nak whom is the real Ghost, instead
Ter sang their Marching song to make his silly friends dance to the song and
finally make them all move to the side so he would finally see that Nak is the real
Ghost.
Well there's no dull part in the entire movie but one of the funniest part for me in the film is when the monk kept on saying that being inside the enchanted thread will protect you from Nak but then he was accidentally and so funnily kicked out of the thread which makes him unprotected!. XD
Well, besides the funny and scary part, I
was totally moved at the ending where Mak admitted that he already know about
Nak being a ghost, and scenes flashed showing that Mak bending and looking
between his legs and finally saw for himself the truth; getting rid of the the
amulet to protect Nak; the scene where he went to his dead wife’s body,
kissing, embracing and crying over it; then Mak arriving home all wet and dirty
from his wife’s grave and still loved and accepted her wife of what she turned
out to be; and the most saddening part
is where even though the townsfolk treat Mak like a plague and he would still
ate dried leaves and worms that Nak will always prepare for him he will still
never swap being with Nak for the world.
My
eyes were filled with tears in the ending part because this lesson should be
known to many people, that Love knows no bounds, that Love doesn’t need to look
on the outside, that Love conquers all, and Life is all about defeating death
by struggling to survive just to offer everything that you have to the one you
love, living it without limits and living it the way you want it to.
Oh here is a picture of Mario Maurer being applied with Black thingy on the teeth, I am not really sure if that black thingy on the teeth is part of their tradition or people from Phrakhanong (or Phra Khanong) really have black teeth but that really added up to the comedy factor!
