The scene in ep 11 where they are back in the dorm, it is dead obvious that they are in love with each other, but they are still fighting, hit a nerve from the distant past, a very painful memory of things that went needlessly wrong :(
After such an amazing confession scene, you would assume they would not be arguing over who should go shower first, and that they would go shower together. At least the producers did not mess with our brains by having a steamy shower scene that turned out to be a fantasy, as Gun has about showering with Off in Senior Secret Love :)
I'm confused... what are Park and Phong? They seem to be working for Yai, but he uses the P' honorific when talking to them, and even for the CLID on his phone.
1. Definitely worth watching. 2. Watch it, read the reviews above, then watch it again. 3. Gun was already a decent actor at 18, but don't expect the Gun you know from Theory of Love, Gifted, or Not Me. 4. No hot scenes, but we do get to see Gun in his underwear!
I am really loving this series, but it bothers me that nobody has said yet "curses don't set dummies on fire; we have surveillance cameras, why don't we go through the recordings to see who set it up?"
Binge-watching this! I'm up to episode 6. Next time I visit my parents, I have to search for my boy-scout uniform and find the belt with the funky metal interlocking buckle. I'll need to replace the leather, of course, even if it hasn't decayed, it's too small by now :)
So many good things coming in 2022. EarthMix does have a project for that year. Rumours are it is a new show.…
There were A LOT of problems with SOTUS, but the occasional teasing of Tuta was not one of them: they were still close friends, Tuta was totally open about it and nobody had any problems with it.
Amitriptyline?! It hasn't been prescribed as a first-line therapy for depression in at least 30years! It, and other TCAs have too many bad side effects, there are much better antidepressants that work on serotonin regulation.
It is a sad fact about the world we live in that the international cinema scene is dominated by Hollywood. The entire world knows who people from the English-speaking world who started young and matured into brilliant actors; Matthew Broderick, Tom Cruise (I don't like him, but most people do), Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Daniel Radcliffe, are some examples. I can rattle off names of actors of other nationalities, but most people will not have heard of them. Gun is at least as talented, but we are unlikely to see him in equivalent international roles, and the world will be a poorer place because of that.
This may yet change as more and more viewers eschew going to movie theaters altogether, and even for first-run movies they get them on streaming services, but it will take at least a generation to establish a more level international playing field.
Maybe Mr. Phunsawat is happy where he is in his career, and I do not know what his plans for the future are, but he deserves a lot more recognition and more demanding roles. Too bad Elon Musk is not a fan of Thai BLs, *he* could be doing something about it :)
I've seen a comment about someone who is reading the book "1984" by George Orwell and I'm also currently reading…
At the time the book was written, the theory that language shapes thought was very much in vogue (as with everything else involving human cognition, it turned out that things were not as clear-cut as that). Newspeak was introduced to limit and to shape the kinds of thoughts that the citizens of Ingsoc would be able to formulate. There are also other books that introduce their own vocabulary; Clockwork Orange comes to mind, but the lingo that Alex and his droogs speak is not imposed to shape thought, rather, it is a component of their social milieu/in-group.
In any case, my English was still developing when I first read 1984 in school. That it was assigned homework, rather than something I set out to read on my own, detracted even more from my appreciation. Plus, the Newspeak words were not in the dictionary, of course, further adding to the confusion. I read it again a few years later, with my vastly-improved command of English, and only then was I able to fully appreciate it.
I can't imagine how it can possibly be translated in a different language without also transporting the entire society it describes to fit the culture of that language. What would seem plausible in a future (future at the time the book was written) British society as imagined when the USSR was a superpower and the spread of communism was a very real danger would, even at that time, not transpose effectively to even France or Germany, let alone Thailand.
If anyone has read the book in Thai or some other non-European language, I'd love to hear your comments on how they rendered Newspeak.
