It is easy to say "It is just a movie", when you are the one not being poked fun of. But, I can almost guarantee you if the roles were reversed, the thais would not take it so light heartedly as to make remark such as "It is just a movie".
I agree about how Thais would take it the wrong way if it were reversed... I don't think this film is really that offensive, but it would be better if it actually tried to incorporate more Lao actors and Lao participation.
Yes, it is a movie, but the movie as well as music industry have a responsibility to their viewers as to the type of messages they are conveying. If you mock a person or a nation (which in this movie it does because the soccer team symbolizes a nation) then expect negative responses in return. Example, did the King or the people of Thailand accepted the song "One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble" a song about thai prostitution sung by a westerner.
Was the message of the song well received by the people? I don't think so. Infact, the song fueled so much anger and embarrassment to the Thai people that the king/government banned the western artist from ever entering Thailand again as well as banning the song from ever being played in thailand again. One might ask, bann the artist? Bann the song? What for? It was "just a song".
The Lao government felt the same sentiment after viewing this movie, thus having to ban it from ever being released in Laos. They considered the movie as a mockery and insensitive to the nation because the Lao soccer team is a national team and they were depicted in the movie as being a joke. That is not the lasting image any nation would want people around the world to view their people as.
Just because other nations mock other nations doesn't make it right or is an example for anyone to follow. A mockery is what it is and it never makes anyone feel good when they are the victim. And for the entertainment industry, you do have responsibilities to your viewers. Art is beautiful and it needs to be expressed in an artistic manner, but not if it is going to be at the expense of others, especially other nations.
I think I smell a hmong here. Sookchai is so ignorant he doesn't know what he hell he is rambling on about, you close-minded prick. Thailand is not the country building the stadium for 2009 Asean olympics you dumb wit...It is a collaboration of countries such as vietnam, singapore, Japan etc. Vietnam has donated about 4 million to help prepare for the game. So b-4 u talk shit, get your shit straight dumb ass. Its people like you who is a disgrace. don't even label yourself as Laos.
thai people are brothers and sister, couzin or watever u wanna call it to lao people, i got close frends in thailand and they move here to america and now we claim dat were couzins but we are. my uncle told me that too, that thai and lao people are brothers and sisters.
ignorant. thai people are all bad? then dont watch thier stuff and tell them lao refugee that are still there to go home thailand arnt rich to be feeding them. and tell laos to give back all the loans thailand give them then. and should i say lao are bad to when vietnam ask for thier help against chinese they sent thier soilders but turn on the viet. what a friend huh.
money has nothing to do with it. ANyone can make a comdey movie on other countries. I seen chinese movie mocking and making fun of japanese people. I seen american movies making fun of the queen of england and making fun of black people. This world everyone move on and try to make it better. they try to luagh with each other and not take stuff so seriously. but laos is still stuck in the ice age and cant move on.
hear lao people bad mouth each other in my city all the time. Thats why i sound like I am not on lao side becuase I am not. Just becuase I am lao doesnt mean I will think my own kind is better then other race becuase we are not we bad mouth to and we lie steal and cheat. we are not god we are not perfect. Everyone is bad in every country. Before we talk about thai people we need to looka t ourself 1st and ask are we any better then them?
The sea games 2009 which is held in laos. Thailand are the one building stadium and golf field and other sports stadium in laos becuase laos dont have any stadium beside 1. Stop looking at the bad thing and look at the good thing for once thailand did alot good thing for laos but laos still whine and complain about them. for what? the real bad mouth are the vietnamese. They talk shit and dont even help laos with anything beside war.
I don't want to argue with you Sookchai you seem not 100% Lao and i understand that...I not meant all Thailand people bad mouth...only i saw some online here but i just disagreed if you are Lao you support others countries against your own kind just because they have more money and they can laughing at you!?
ignorant blind lao people. Just becuase I am lao doesnt mean I will pray to my people. If my people are bad I say they are bad I dont deny it like some lao people. I am more open then lao people. I am not close minded like the lao goverment. And anyone who is educated would not take this movie seriously. Look at america they make movie about black and white and u see them going crazy over it? They are not like us we are close minded people.
my dad from saravan my mom from saravan I am 100 percent lao. But I grew up in america so I am not close minded like the people in laos I am open to everyone everything. And if you know thai people bad mouth lao people then maybe you pay to much attention to thai people thats how you know. I dont care for the bad stuff I only pay attention to the good stuff.
everything is insulting to lao people. I am lao and i careless I wanna see the movie. Lao people to close minded take everything to seriuosly. Lao the only asian country in asia that take stuff to far.
After posting the question and after taking a very good look at the old lady that is giving the peace sign in the very beginning, I am sure this is a Thai movie rather than Laos. Or maybe Isaan since YaYa Ying's mother is Isaan.
no they ddint sue thai. for what? you can only sue them if they take your music movie or anything that belong to lao without asking. This is a movie lao make big fuss about everything. I am lao and I wanna see this movie. Movie for luagh fun not to stress over.
i want to laugh if Lao people make that movie! and i don;t mind if Lao people make money!! sometime our govt control something like that maybe face up for all people like to look down on us no speak for ourselves!! i don't blame our govt. because i saw people from Thailand insult Laos so much and i face up of this they said Laos a small country and said Laos ugly...whatever they say i blame War made Laos and people like this...
My parents lived in thailand during the war and thai people never said anything to them. They even help them when they were getting trick by the chinese maffia. If Thai people hated lao people my parents would be dead by now. There are good and bad in every country. Laos have bad people to look at vientiane people like to say southern lao are ugly and dark. I know becuase I am from southern laos. Nothern lao are mean toward the south.
and if thailand hated laos they wouldnt allow lao people to work in thailand. And alexandra the lao pop singer making movie in thailand right now. Stop bringing up the hate between the 2 they are trying to move on. But some lao dont wanna move on and keep saying thai look down on us. Some do and some dont even care about laos. We say shit about people to even to our own kind. even to our own relatives. we are not perfect either.

That's a pity this movie was originally banned by the Lao authorities.
After some corrections, the movie itself contains less "power of story", and not much interesting as it should be.
I don't wanna say anything about conflict, but i say that this movie would be nice without banning.
