Kingdom of War Part 1 (Blu-ray) Sarunyu Wongkrachang Sorapong Chatree

Description: Further DetailsTitle: Kingdom of War Part 1Condition: NewDescription: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION An epic historical action film about King Naresuan the Great, who liberated the Siamese from the control of Burma, changing the destiny of a nation. Part 1 depicts Naresuan's boyhood when he was taken hostage by Burmese King Bayinnaung to keep the vassal Ayutthaya Kingdom subservient. During this time, he was a novice Buddhist monk under the tutelage of the wise father-figure monk Sorapong Chatree. AMAZON History on a grandly gargantuan scale, director Chatreechalerm Yukol's multipart epic is an exceedingly lavish (and somewhat narratively muddled) tribute to the early life of Thailand's King Naresuan, the 16th-century leader who fought to free Siam from Burmese rule. Sporting enough convoluted factions and royal backbiting to make Game of Thrones seem like Candyland, this reverent biopic demands--and rewards--fierce concentration from the viewer. Part one (originally titled King Naresuan) follows the 9-year-old hero as he is held hostage by the ruler of Burma in order to ensure his native land's compliance. While winning the favor of his (mostly) benevolent captor, he begins to learn martial arts techniques from a wise monk, sowing the seeds for his eventual destiny. Meanwhile, a myriad of noblemen from surrounding regions attempt to scheme their way to the top of the heap. Whether the two parts are viewed separately or together, the sheer scope of Kingdom of War is fantastic to behold, with an attention to detail that borders on the flabbergasting. However, although the filmmaker's dedication and craft is unquestionable, the sheer tonnage of his narrative proves difficult to overcome. While those with prior knowledge of the historical events will be enthralled, newcomers may wish to have a flowchart handy. --Andrew WrightFormat: Blu-rayDirector: Chatrichalerm YukolActor: Sarunyu Wongkrachang, Sorapong ChatreeGenre: Action & AdventureRating: MPAA RNo Of Discs: 1Run Time: 2 hours and 47 minutesRelease Date: 06/14/2011Studio: Magnolia Home EntSubtitle Language: English, SpanishEAN: 0876964004084Region Code: Blu-ray: A (Americas, Southeast Asia...)Release Year: 2011 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
