The Legend of Suriyothai Movie Synopsis
Based on actual events in 16th century Thailand, The Legend of Suriyothai begins during a peaceful era, but forces from both outside and within conspire to test the strength of the nation. As the story unfolds, the Thai kingdom of Ayuthaya is enjoying a period of peace and prosperity, but the country's stability is soon threatened by corruption and civil war. Palace intrigues and deceptions abound: one king who takes the throne in a coup d'etat is then deceived by his beautiful new wife, a former high courtesan named Srisudachan. She plots her husband's downfall, pushing her lover Worawongsa to usurp the throne, and to restore her clan, the U-Thong in its claim to power.
It`s a good story, but if you`re into character development, don`t bother. Yeah, she`s a heroine, but I felt little to no attachment to any of the characters. I think it could`ve been exponentially better.
It `s a good movie. I love it very much.
