Wow! Loved it!

Tis movie was amazing! I loved it so much.
It's about a man who wants to do everything to keep the memory of his loved one close and a woman who is willing to do everything for wealth, even if that means killing people... A great story!

The visuals and music are great, so is the acting.
The chemistry and dynamics between Jeff and Keng were very good.

A must see! I will definatly watch this again.

Holy shit.

A story about Thongkam and Mo, two desperate and selfish individuals struggling with loss and want. The sudden death of Thongkam's husband brings the end for some and the beginning for others. Grief and intimacy are nicely explored, as well as the differences between the working-class and those in extreme poverty. Impressed with all of the main cast's acting and transformations through the movie. Also, the OST really does make you nervous many times. Solid suspense.

GREED GREED GREED

This movie was so realistic. people are so greedy for land and money. I saw everyone greedy. Mom was so selfish taking advantage of Mo and Thongkam both at her conditions. She didn't respect Mo's care even a bit until it was too late. She never tried to resolve the conflict between Mo and Thongkam. As an elder person she should try distribute the land and house between Thongkam and Mo as Mo also deserves something. Mo had greed in her mind and agreed with sek's plan and when that didnt work out she tried to kill him and later she kinda left the mom to die. Sek was such an asshole he approached Thongkam for his money and planned to trick him. He fell in love with him and even married him, and still wasnt honest with Thongkam and didnt tell him about Mo. Also, he didnt register land in name of Thongkam also in the first place.
Thongkam was no saint either, he said earlier that he wanted orchards because it reminds him of how much Sek loved him and it was thier symbol of love but later when he found out that Sek betrayed him he didnt leave and plan to take a revenge on Sek's family and wanted them to respect their marriage which Mo and Saeng didnt but at last when Mo accepted then he left. Thongkam not only got betrayed by Sek in terms of love but also land as he didnt register under his name.

Assisti aos últimos 20 minutos em completo choque

Simplesmente um daqueles filmes que te deixam pensando sobre a semana inteira! São muitas reflexões e tenho certeza de que irei perceber mais coisas com o tempo, mas por agora posso reafirmar a necessidade da legalização do casamento homoafetivo ao redor do mundo: tudo isso poderia ter sido evitado dessa forma. Também posso dizer que o filme vai além disso: ao analisar a personagem Mo, é possível notar que o superar e seguir em frente é, muitas vezes, a única forma que temos de lidar com o que nos fizeram no passado. De nada adianta lutar tanto por algo se, durante o processo, corremos o risco de perder as nossas identidade, humanidade e até aqueles que amamos. No fim das contas, é algo muito clichê, mas de que vale termos todo o dinheiro do mundo se perdermos quem mais amamos durante o processo?

MAMPUS LU!

Puas banget liat endingnya.

Ini kan yang lu mau, Mo?? Punya rumah dan perkebunan duren segitu leganya hasil ngrebut dari laki bajingan lu itu? Terus abis itu apa?? Konsekuensinya lu sendirian njirrr. Bisa lu ngurus tu kebun sgtu luasnya sndirian?? Mana adik lu juga mati gegara suami pilihan lu. Lagian lu ngapa pake kawin segala sih?? Udah bener jadi independent woman aja.

Sebenernya kalo di track siapa yang benar dan siapa yang salah tuh sulit sih karena Mo punya motivasi sndiri untuk melakukan tindakan keji itu. Gue ga membenarkan tindakan dia, tapi ya gue ngerti kenapa dia begitu.

Yang bneran kasian tuh Thongkam. Dari film ini gue bahkan baru tau kalo di Thailand aja pernikahan lgbt ga diakui. Iya lu ngadain wedding party, tapi secara hukum? Cuma dianggap partner anjir... Nyesek banget taik.

Terus Jingna... Gurl, I really want to meet you again in the other chance (with Kam). You don't deserve to die istg. In the other live, gue pengennya lu ketemu duluan sama Kham biar dia terbebas dari lelaki bajingan itu.

Tapi keknya we're all agree that Jeff Saturn is the cuntiest durian farmer ever

Durians, frutos del dolor y la desesperación.

Esta es una película dolorosa y cruda, con un final amargo. Al ser una película dirigida por Boss Kuno, siendo espectadora de otras de sus obras, sabía que la cinematografía de esta película iba a ser impresionante. Visualmente, es bellísima en todos los aspectos. Los personajes son complejos, aferrándose completamente a aquello que necesitan, sufriendo a la vez por lo complicado que es el camino para lograrlo.
Tanto Thongkam como Mo se enfrentan ante un conflicto que los lleva a jugar un "tira y afloja". Inicialmente, es muy fácil sentir empatía por Thongkam que, no solo ha perdido a su gran amor y compañero, sino también la granja de durians por la cual han trabajado durante mucho tiempo con esfuerzo y sacrificio debido a las leyes de Tailandia. A medida que vamos conociendo un poco a Mo, nos damos cuenta que su vida también ha sido dura y la única forma de salir de el destino que le tocó vivir es esa granja. Jeff y Engfa hicieron un trabajo impresionante dándoles vida a estos personajes, he logrado sentir tantas cosas por cada uno de ellos que no pude evitar llorar más de una vez durante el largometraje.
El final es fuerte, véanlo con discreción. Te deja un nudo en la garganta y te lleva a pensar que ambos personajes volvieron al punto de partida. Tanta lucha para al final perderlo todo. Thongkam otra vez había perdido a su amado quien estaba dispuesto a llevar una vida feliz con él, y Mo nuevamente no tenía nada más a lo que aferrarse en su vida.
Una película maravillosa, la banda sonora es increíble. Deja en evidencia una gran problemática que las parejas queer experimentan en diferentes partes del mundo. A la vez, los paisajes y la paleta de colores, junto a la demostración de aspectos de la cultura Tailandesa deja un sabor dulce. El sabor de "The Paradise of Thorns" es como un durian, su sabor puede variar de dulce a ligeramente amargo.

Es mucho más, incluso, de lo que supieron vender

A ver, no me entiendan mal, creo que la productora ha sido capaz de vender muy bien la obra para su mercado objetivo principal, que es el Tailandés, pero podría haber conseguido mucho más si se lo hubiera propuesto. Contaba con los talentos, con el presupuesto y con el guion para conseguirlo. Una pena que quede como otra pieza más estrenada en el montón de obras que Netflix añade a su colección.

The Paradise of Thorns es una historia sobre violencia sistémica tanto como es un relato sobre la codicia, sobre el poder y sobre el concepto de víctima. Si lo que buscas es un BL al uso, esta no será tu historia. Solo es una cara más de una historia compleja que nos muestra la peor cara del ser humano. Jeff está sobresaliente, pero también Engfa, Srida y Keng.

Probablemente, una de las mejores películas del año 2024.

hereditário vc morreu !

cara tudo nesse filme é bom
os atores, a história, a filmografia...
e é bastante intenso, eu gosto muito disso
quando eu terminei de ver eu tava miserável porque tudo que podia dar errado deu mas foi uma experiência foda

só uma cena no finalzinho ali no clímax que me deu uma broxada, pq ao meu ver não tinha necessidade e poderia ter acontecido outra coisa no lugar
se não fosse por isso eu dava 10 pra tudo

mas de qualquer forma vale bastante a pena !!!
