The Overture (Thai)

The overture is about a Thai classical musician's life. Musicians, artists, and scientists have a little world of themselves where they compete and appreciate. War mongers on the other hand understand nothing and easily destroy these delicate worlds. Since many wars are based on some kind of stupid theme in this movie the musician is faced with the army propagating modernity and throwing out everything old to get ready for the enemy. Needless to say the musicians will not give up an art that they carefully nurtured all their lives and tended with care through generations. Also makes you wonder about why some people want musicians to stop playing music? I can understand if it is bad music but these folks have problems with good music. Its a crazy world. Nevertheless awesome movie and Thailand is really beautiful.
