Citations
Aung San Suu Kyi at 2 years old: Daddy, tell me a story.
Aung San - the Father: Hmm, well, I could tell you about the days when Burma was the Golden Land. Is that the kind of story you want?
Aung San Suu Kyi at 2 years old: Yes!
Aung San - the Father: Once upon a time, Burma was a beautiful country blessed with great forests of teak and ebony. This was a time when tigers still prowled the jungles, and elephants roamed the great plains. You'd find sapphires as blue as the bluest sky. And rubies redder than your cheeks. More jewels than a princess like you could ever wish for.
Aung San Suu Kyi at 2 years old: And then?
Aung San - the Father: Actually, it's a sad story. Soldiers from a faraway land came and stole all our precious things. That's how our country became so poor.

in admiration of "courage and love"

It's an absolute success: Luc Besson has succeeded to bring you to the Burma through a deeply humanistic and political involved history. Then the two principal actors (Michelle Yeoh & David Thewlis) play very well their roles and let you feel their passion in the private life and their struggle for democracy and peace in the social life.

There are some similarities with another masterpiece of Besson "Leon: The Professional": both are in admiration of "courage and love". Aung San Suu Kyi like Leon is an alone hero fighting against tyranny and organized corrupted power. If the effort of Leon to protect the young innocent Mathilda made you feel sympathy for this individual, undoubtedly you will admire this brave woman her comfort herself and her family to defend the whole nation from the dictatorship of the military regime.

My wife and I really enjoyed the movie. The Parisian cinema was almost full and at the end gave the impression that the spectators were satisfied .One row ahead of us there was a senior couple, the old man asked: "darling did you like it for the second time?" The lady answered: "sure, could we come again to watch it for a third time?!"

P.S: It's a shame that she as the Myanmar leader has not provided the relevant response to the Rohingya humanitarian crisis. It is depressing to see how an earlier hero of peace, could become silence and indifferent in the treatment of its Rohingya minority, who according to the UN have suffered ethnic cleansing and violent attacks by Myanmar's military forces. The reel life is sadly more cruel than the movie!
