A must see gem! Beautifully filmed and acted

A must see gem! Beautifully filmed and acted by a largely unknown cast, this Thai coming of age movie based on the best selling memoirs of the main character has remarkable heart and, although set in the late 1940s, much relevance to the problems of today's youth taking their first steps into the "real world". For some reason (maybe the gentle pace) it reminds me somewhat of Spirit of The Beehive with its depiction of innocence in a rural world on the point of change. See it on Netflix (or was in September 2023). Don't miss it.

Vision wrote: "John is a G. He is too hilarious. The tin mine is brilliant. The boss is genuine. The story, direction, cinematography and comedy is on point. Admire the mine and how all the stories correlate around the mine. Very destructive and calming at times. powerful performances all around, especially by Pijaya Vachajitpan. Four fries!"
