tuc35043 This film is about the story of a trans-gender kick boxer. It is mainly about how he recognizes what he really wants and his inner psychological struggles. Acting of the main character is fascinating, he agonizes hard to live the way he really wants, and he is brave to fight for it. Physically, he is a strong kick boxer, he practices hard in order to be able to fight in Bangkok. However, deep inside his heart, he takes himself as a "her". "She" likes putting on make-up, dress in girlish clothes and talks softly. The contrast is well depicted throughout the film, the audiences are closely drawn to the emotion of Toom, and feel what Toom actually feel. Music is cleverly used to steer the mood. In addition, lighting matches well to show the ups and downs of the character's sentiment. For example, when Toom was in the ring, he feels proud and the whole scene is brightly lit up.The film is recommended to anyone except kids, since they may be too young to understand the complicated struggles and tension. All in all, the story is encouraging and reminds people to stay strong even difficulties are waiting ahead. Everyone should try their best to live the life they want.
bkoganbing Beautiful Boxer is the story of transgender kickboxer Noom Tong, born in a male body and feeling female in her soul, using the God given martial arts skills, to change her gender and become at one with herself. The Thai cast in this production is nearly perfect in presenting her story.Among the many issues facing transgender individuals is the staggering cost of reassignment surgeries and that even in the face of overwhelming medical and psychological evidence to the contrary, insurance companies still regard a sex change as elective cosmetic surgery. The same classification as they would give a rhinoplasty, nose job to most of you.As it turns out Thailand is one of a few countries where transgender people go for surgeries. It's expensive and therein lies the tale of Beautiful Boxer. Noom Tang uses the prize monies won in kickboxing to pay for her surgery. While transitioning, she faces a whole lot of evil, but she literally kicks her way out.Watching this film I was struck with the similarity of this film and Flawless. In Flawless Philip Seymour Hoffman plays a drag entertainer who by chance finds a drug dealer's stash after a shooting and keeps it to pay for her reassignment surgery. It would probably have taken her twenty years of drag shows in order to pay for what she needed. A marketable skill, but not quite marketable enough as kickboxing.I hope that those who watch the film think of the many who can't earn it, win it, steal it, or stumble on the funds needed. If Beautiful Boxer can make people think about that, it's a public service film.Or you can just enjoy it and be downright inspired.
juliaah2 Beautiful Boxer a coming of age story about a man who wants to be female. In order to earn a living and save enough money, he starts to kick box on a dare at a temple festival. As time goes on, it shows how he is finally accepted by his group of friends who are also boxers. Yes, there were several missteps by his friends, but overall they accepted him for he is, and who they wanted him to be. It is refreshing to see a third gender represented in another culture, without the shame and stigma attached to it. In this culture we are so obsessed with being perfect and correct that we sometimes alienate ourselves from our friends and families.Jules
