Nong Toom:



The Movie:





I just finished watching the film. It was really good, but I'd seen her on the telly before I watched the movie. How cool is it that her parents were so accepting? It was just uh...cool.

hehe


he won all those fight so he can have a vagina >.<


coo movie thou

Doesnt look too nice as a woman.

...

I think she/he can kick Tony Ja @$$

jaa i think HE can..

She can still stick her heels up you where the sun don't shine. Just think about it...She's built like a man, is a genius when it comes to Muay Thai yet she has the hormones of a woman!

Loved this movie. I watched it during the summer hols when it screened in KL 2 years ago.

It was only later that I found out that the real Nong Toom had a cameo appearance in the movie

in thailand, it's called khon muay suai.

yeah, she can kick @$$. she's pretty strong in her "kickboxing" days.

In what scene? I missed it! Dammit!

aw i love the movie!

do ya'll remember seeing p'toom in bussaba krap pom? starring p'saharat "kong" nuvo and p'katreeya english? she played a great nang rai 555

It was a talkie scene even! The one where Nong Toom was getting a facial or something, I think when he first arrives in Bangkok. The beautician who was giving out beauty tips while Nong Toom was lying on the chair was the real Nong Toom herself!

beautiful boxer , it's cool movie. i like she.

dangit, someone tell me where i can d/l this movie

How did I miss that? I noticed that, that the girl was a guy....but I didn't realise it was Nong Toom!


*Runs to get Beautiful Boxer VCD to play it over again*

i hate it when people call transvestites "she." it's HE, HIM, HIS. we don't call manly looking females HE, so why call effeminate males SHE?

Most trannys want to be called "she".

They're not going to go through all the effort of hormone treatment and surgery only to still be addressed as a man.

I thought it was really good ended up buying the dvd.

i like how the movie come out rilly, not to boring and not to overated

I just watched this movie last week and thought it was really good. Acting was good, story ran at a smooth pace, some touching moments, and some funny moments. Gets an A in my book.

It's funny how in the movie that the match against the pro-wrestler was long and brutal while in real life, it ended pretty quickly.

She has very strong mind and I like the way she said to the boy who act like her on the muayThai state that
"we should not forgot what we really want and what we fight for"

I want to staring her for Asianfinest

I just watched the movie last night on Mnet, what a great and moving real-life story. It's very buddhist the message of Nong Toom. It's her karma to be who she is in this life and her parents, her boxing coach, her audience and even the monks let her live out her karma, instead of placing morally restrictions on her ..



Does anyone remember which scene did the real Nong Toom appear for her cameo appearance?

I agree with Aero, she should be featured as AF celebrity for Thailand!



OIC! Thx malaccan!

BTW, the movie was a winner of two Thai ‘Oscars’ for Best Actor and Best Makeup. The film had its international premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival. It has since garnered 10 international awards to date including Best Feature Film awards from Milan, Brussels, Montreal and Torino plus a string of other awards from Los Angeles, San Sebastian, Seattle, Oslo and India.

That's very interesting point. "let her live out her karma, instead of placing morally restrictions on her .."

I bet this is your favorite movie, eh khun anat?

Surprisingly, I have not had a chance to watch it yet. But I will.

My favorite movie is "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert".

I'm not sure if you have seen it.

But, I'm sure you will like it. It is a classic.

I cry every time when I watch it.

Ive never heard of that before...can you give me the synopsis of the film?

My favorite is a classic--perhaps you've heard of it.
" The Thin Red Line "
and
"Battle of the Bulge"

Oh i cant choose between the two...i love em' all.

Never knew you were into the flambouyance, anat. =P

,,,,,,,,,LOL,,,,,

anat, "whats your name, pretty? My house is your house?"

555555555

Try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventure...n_of_the_Desert.

"The thin red line " was totally crap. I 've never seen "Battle of the Bulge" though. I recommend you "Apocalypse Now" for an anti-war movie. It is 1 of 50 movies you have to watch before you got shot.



O.k. Serious now.

Actually, it is "my house, or your house?"

hmmm...

the answer is....









I thought about it.














Let do it my house, but your @$$. o.k.?

OMG! TRL was not bad at all!!!! It was soo good.

and the rest....well..im shocked!

Besides....you wouldnt be able to handle me. Id 'RIP' you.



HASTA LA VISTA!

Hopefully, you don't take it seriously. You're not offened, are you?


You are fun too talk with, Siri.

Good on you.

Of course not Anattyyyy, 55555555

So yaa...found your 'tunay na lalake' yet?

PS. Find a filipino to translate that for you.

LOLLLLLLLLLLL

Nah. I googled it.

And I don't answer that question.

Hahaha why not?

There were also depictions of the hardships of the lives of nomads. Nong Toom's family were nomads who had to roam the country to look for work, til they eventually settled in Chiang Mai to be lychee farmers. I loved the scenes of the temple festival, the traditional thai dancing and muay thai boxing (contrast between men and women), the reverence to the monks and the travelling monks, really Anatta, without going into too much metaphysics, it's one of the most beautiful movies I have seen on the human condition.

it was a powerful movie.

man the real beautiful boxer is pretty kinda. LOL but man the girls in the pageant in Chiang Mai were beautiful!!! reminded me of LAO girls

An English Word A Day, today , presents "nomad".

A nomad is "someone who does not lead a settled life but moves from place to place, usually seeking pasture for herds of grazing animals"

Thanks Tangawizi for my new word of today.

Speaking about "travelling monks", I have not seen any of them for a long time. A well known monk "Luang Por Koon" was a travelling monk when he was young.


Tangawizi , do you like the movie because it is in someway similar to your life, right?

Are you planing to have your sex changed? Or have you?


Anyway, I will rent the movie if I have time.

You are welcome Anatta...

What does a travelling monk do? Does he live like a hermit?

And why do u want me to have a sex change to become a guy? I don't need that because many people on this board think I am one 555555

I like the movie because its very Thai and buddhist. It's not seedy at all.

Is that a new word for you, Anatta? Seedy?

To have a sex change from guy to girl is easier ,cuz it easier to develop virgina and fake boobs

On the other hand from girl to guy is harder and more painful cuz u need to cut your breast and the hardest part is making the younger brother stand up. Even some men need viagra In d end you may pay a million to buy the bicycle with a flat tire

i juz had my dinner!!!

Well, a travelling monk is simply a travelling monk. No he don't live like a hermit {this word is new to me too}. This kind of monk is who want to see the world that Buddha been thru not just memmorizing words and call himself a monk. . He would go to any places he wanted to go. He meditates. He gives up the luxury of a soft bed, TV, radio , internet and pr0ns.

Yeah. I googled "seedy". I learned many words to day.


I think I may not like it if it is very Thai and Buddhist.












555

I want to see this movie after seeing the trailer....even though the tranny parts are kinda disturbing, it looks to have promising MUAY THAI ACTION! And a good story bout a fighter.....err..that wants to become a woman...


Hey I hear Nong Toom has become a trainer at Fairtex? Which one?

Its a good movie. really really good movie.

Oh dear.

yeah he proved he had the balls to do it!!! then he cut them off

this movie is pretty good.

i agree sirikittong, a very good movie. what was your favourite aspects of the movie?



it was much better than i expected

i'd be shock if Siri replies ..

That's true. I haven't seen him post much since his "confession" and where's AEROFORCE1...
