Just shown on Foxtel's Fox Classics channel


I didn't see this when it 1st came out, but I just saw all 3 parts on Fox classics.
I honestly hope that the Tai courts have changed sine then, I couldn't believe they shot a disabled kid (it was obvious that he didn't know what was going on), it was just plain sad .... I was reduced to tears.

"As a matter of fact I did see it and yes, it is tragic."
Yes it it very much so.

"The Thai courts have changed a little since then and aren't as bad now, but are still a little unfair."
I just hope they would look at the way people are (disabled, e.c.t.) before killing them.
It's very unfair.

"I know the movie was somewhat based on a true story"
I think theres bits & peices taken from true stories.

"but you shouldn't get too upset by it and cry."
That one scene was what I cried over, it was just so horrid that this innocent disabled young guy would get the firing squad when it's obvious that he doesn't know whats going on ..... THAT was what was sad.
