What a movie! This was the first Thai movie I ever watched and it played on some random foreign movie channel that we had during the mid to late 2000s. I've watched amazing movies from that channel and this one ranks up there.I was blown away by how good this movie was. It reminds me of my childhood even though I never lived in Thailand and even though my cultural background is completely different, I could identify with both the main characters and their friends. It's such a nostalgic trip. I would recommend any one who is planning to watch this movie to definitely give it a try.

Sometimes you listen to a particular old song, or you open a particular page of an old book, or you go and sit by the old playground you used to play, and thats it. The next few days, you won't sleep at night, sometimes you will laugh, and sometimes tears will flow along your cheek, silently, and ... alone... nobody else would know sweetness of that pain.This movie will make you feel exactly that.. and much more...The movie may not attract a lot of westerners. May be because they do not have these kinds of memories. But for the Asians, who in their childhood have struggled as well as enjoyed the meaning of childhood, this movie is the one. And if you don't want to interrupt your daily routine, this is not for you, because this will surely change you routines for the next few days.

Hi, this is my 3rd Thai movie after Tony jaa's movies. I am from India and just happened to watch this movie which was translated in English. I just loved the movie .It just took me back to my childhood memories. Going with friends on cycles. Fighting with friends and getting back together again. Going back home after a long time away and observing that things are different. Thats how real life is. And more ever i like the emotional part of the relationship between jean and noi. Its so original. Good job done, Ill need a few days to get over it like jeab needed a few days to get out of his down in life after noi moved away. I would rate it as one of the best i have seen...

I share the generation of Jeab and Noi-naa, for instance we played the same games like using rubber bands to make a long jumping ropes and a group of neighbourhood children gathered together to compete after school. We divided ourselves into different gangs, today enemies, tomorrow coalition. Friends or classmates moved from the vicinity to faraway newly developed areas or even migrated to other countries after the 1982 meeting between Deng Xiao-ping and Margaret Thatcher on Hong Kong's future.Though we speak different languages, I feel that I am one of those little children in this sincere nostalgic production, I even share the feeling of the grown-up Jeab when he returns to his hometown to attend Noi-naa's wedding: everything's facelifted, the bridge that the school bus used to pass has been changed into a sturdier one, just like my city, an ever-changing and moving city.The most delightful surprise should be the parody of two Hong Kong TV dramas which were widely popular among the Asian countries in the late 70's and 80's, "Silk" and "Yesterday's Glitter". It made me recall many of my long-forgotten younger episodes. The flick should be kept in the DVD library of the thirty something as a proof of "collective memory" of those born in the 70's. Two or three decades later, the warmth will still pervade when we review it.
