Comédies Thai - Thai Comedy

Il m'arrive souvent de regarder des comédies Thai lorsque je rend visite à mes parents à chaque 2 weekends. Ce que j'aime bien dans les comédies thai c'est surtout le fait que c'est différent du style occidentaux et que se sont des blagues très légères, simples et très absurdes à la fois. J'aime bien les mots vulgaires qu'ils emploient c'est crampant à écouter. Je suis incapable de lire, d'écrire ou de parler le thai, par contre je comprend 3/4 de ce qu'ils disent. L'apprentissage a été fait lorsque j'écoutais le satellite Thai ou des films thai avec mes parents. Je dois vous avouez que le Thai et le Lao sont très similaire à un certain point. Beaucoup de similitudes dans les mots de vocabulaire qu'on emploi.

Cependant, je ne suis pas le genre à écouter des Lakhon thai (Série tv dramatique) qui sont très long et parfois pénible à regarder puisque c'est très ennuyant et peu d'actions. Je ne dirais pas Non si la série est bien faite avec intrigue, action et intelligence comme Prison break, Omerta, Dexter, 24, etc. Voici donc quelques comédies que j'aimerais vous suggérer, par contre je ne sais pas comment écrire le nom du titre puisque c'est Thai.

PS. Désolé, c'est juste en Thai.

Shinobi - Heart under blade (film asiatique)

Editorial Reviews

Equal parts Romeo and Juliet and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Shinobi offers breathtaking cinematography, appealing actors, and ninjas. What more could a movie fan ask for? Released in 2005, Shinobi is set in 17th century Japan, which is dominated by two powerful clans. Oboro is a member of the Iga clan, while her lover Gennosuke is the son of the leader of the Koga clan. Both groups are comprised of expert ninjas who have developed skills unknown to most mortals. When Oboro and Gennosuke meet, they are unaware that by their birthrights, they are mean to hate--not love--each other. When the nefarious Shogun--eager to increase his own power by doing away with both clans--announces that each faction will send in five ninjas to fight to the death, Oboro and Gennosuke are sent in to battle against each other for the honor of their clans. Filled with action (including some computer-generated images to enhance the actors' warrior-like qualities) and romance, Shinobi has the makings of a sweeping epic. Though based on an anime series, the film succeeds as a stand-alone piece of work. Beautifully filmed and well-acted, the film is exciting and heartbreaking, and the viewer senses both hope and doom all the way through the finale. --Jae-Ha Kim

So begins the race to claim the coffin...but who will get there first?

Bichunmoo (film asiatique)

Editorial Reviews

The comparisons to Crouching Tiger, Storm Riders and The Duel-type films and the Korean Bichunmoo are certainly justified: it IS a kung fu, sword flick, flavored with a love story. But Bichunmoo is a masterpiece in itself that can stand up to these comparisons; you can even argue that this, the most well-rounded of these type of films to date, should be the standard to which the others, even the cinematographically superior Crouching Tiger, should be compared to.

At the heart of the story are Jinha Yu and Sullie, whose tragic, star-crossed relationship is the thread that holds the movie together. She is rich and Mongol royalty; he is an orphaned Koryo commoner (or so we are made to believe), and fate refuses to let the relationship take place. The pair elopes and are hunted down by Sullie's family and Jungkwang, a young lord her family favors. Despite Jinha's expertise in the legendary Bichin Secrets, rumored to be the most powerful of all martial arts, passed on to him by a dying uncle, he succumbs to the pursuers and falls from a cliff. Sullie reluctantly marries Jungkwang.

The years go by and while Jungkwang is away on business, his castle falls quite easily to another faction, thanks to a group of highly skilled assassins headed by a bitter, darker, cold-blooded Jinha. Trouble follows as both struggle to reconcile who they once were with what they have become.

Bichunmoo trumps Crouching Tiger in that the story is self-contained, not a mere snapshot. We see Jinha and Sullie develop not only relationship-wise, but as children meeting for the first time and growing to adulthood. In contrast Li Mubai and Shulien (of Crouching Tiger) are captured in mid-life, with plenty of history between them the we never get to know. The cinematic feel isn't as grand, and is more like the Once Upon A Time In China series--basically shot like early Jet Li and Jackie Chan films.

But there is grandeur to it--the beautiful shots of Sullie mourning and waiting for Jinha, or her deceiving dance in front of the emperor, or the flashbacks to their childhood--all utilize the soft, slow-motion, leaves floating, silk flying atmosphere. The swordfights are somewhere between Crouching Tiger and The Duel--more CG special effects than Crouching Tiger and more choreography and martial arts skill than The Duel.

Bichunmoo has no real weak spots. The back story is extensive enough to make you feel like you know the characters, but not so overwhelming that it creates questions. The battles and love scenes all have a purpose, with no chance encounters or accidental street brawls. The lack of star power is in name only; Shin Hyun-Jun's brooding, tormented Jinha is convincingly depressing, revengeful and regretful, as Kim Hae-Sun's Sullie is beautiful, determined and vulnerable. Your girl can shed tears and use up the Kleenex, while you watch with dropped jaw at the spectacular metalwork, slicing and dicing with superhuman effects.

Shadowless Sword (Film asiatique)

Editorial Reviews

Kim Young-Jun, director of 2000's Bichunmoo, helms the exciting new fantasy swordplay epic, Shadowless Sword! Set during the Balhae Dynasty in the tenth century, the film is full of danger and political intrigue. It centers on the fate of Dae Jeong-Hyeon (Lee Seo-Jin, from TV's Damo) who lives a simple life in a Chinese frontier town, but who hides an amazing secret - he is an heir to the Balhae kingdom! Little does he know, however, that he will soon become the last surviving one! When the king and the remaining heirs are wiped out by the murderous Khitan, it's up to Yeon So-Ha (Yoon Soy, from Arahan), one of Balhae's top female warriors, to accompany the exiled Prince Jeong-Hyeon back to his homeland so he can ascend the throne and take his rightful place as ruler of the empire. Hot on their trail is a band of highly trained assassins, including Khitan chieftain Gun Hwa-Pyeong (Shin Hyeon-Joon, from Bichunmoo) and his female companion Mae Yeong-Ok (Lee Gi-Yong), who are looking to insure that the prince's reign will be cut short...permanently! And to make matters more complicated, it turns out that Jeong-Hyeon isn't quite the regal, honorable gentleman that So-Ha was expecting, but is instead a man eager to protect himself at all costs with no concern for the well-being of his fellow countrymen. Will Yeon So-Ha escort Jeong-Hyeon back safely? And if so, will he become the kind of leader that his people long for in this desperate time of need? The truth will be revealed in Shadowless Sword, an amazing swordplay saga also starring Park Seong-Woong, Nam Ji-Hyun, Han Gang, and featuring cameos by Choi Ji-Woo, Kim Soo-Ro, and Jeong Jun-Ha!

Seven Swords (Film asiatique)

Editorial Reviews

As the title indicates, Seven Swords is in the epic spirit of The Seven Samurai and its American cousin, The Magnificent Seven. A grittier enterprise, it may not surpass Tsui Hark’s 1990s classics like Once Upon a Time in China, but offers its own unique pleasures--like non-stop action (for which it received a coveted Golden Horse Award). Based on the book Seven Swordsmen from Mountain Tian, the action begins in rural China in the 1600s. The Ching Dynasty has just banned martial arts, and in response seven dissidents band together to fight against Fire-Wind (Honglei Sun) and his minions. The septet includes Hong Kong superstars Charlie Young (Wu Yuan Yin), Leon Lai (Yang Yun Chong), and Hero's Donnie Yen (Chu Zhao Nan). One of the mountain villagers they save is pretty Korean refugee Green Pearl (So-yeon Kim), who falls for the moody Chu. Filmed on location in scenic Xinjiang, Seven Swords is a feast for the eyes. Though some critics have taken Hark to task for the army's anachronistic goth-punk garb, it sure looks menacing. Originally four and a half hours long, this version clocks in at 153 minutes. Hark's soft-spoken commentary, along with Hong Kong cinema expert Bey Logan, is on the first disc. Deleted scenes and other extras are on the second. Because of the cuts, the complex narrative isn't always easy to follow--and the film still feels long--but the gold-tinged visuals and fight choreography by Kar-Leung Lau (The Legend of Drunken Master) helps to compensate. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Between this narrow gap of life and death, the situation is further complicated by the blossoms of love.
