Something incredible just happened, Magical ManSuang-style.

So I was at a local library chilling and watching Man Suang reviews from Thai channels (instead of doing work, of course). And out of nowhere, this dude wearing all black and a man bun tapped my shoulder:

"I'm so sorry to disturb you but what you're watching, the visuals are so amazing. Can I ask what is that?"

And I, being the diligent advocate that I am, kept my chill and calmly explained this is a Thai movie. Yes, it's STUNNING as you can see and it has beautiful Thai cultures, political commentaries, class struggles and queerness (albeit a little understated).

"It's called ManSuang and it's on Netflix. You should totally check it out."

And that, my friends, is how I got a stranger to watch Man Suang, no epic fanvid involved lol.

I think I vaguely recognized him as one of the film students that usually came here. That would explain how ManSuang's visuals alone captured his attention and curiosity.

If we met again, I would definitely ask him how he liked the movie.

A very brief but wonderful encounter. Here's to visiting your local library and watch ManSuang to get random people hooked 🦚.

#dude was so excited it caught me off guard #I made sure to show him the spelling of the title so he could look it up later lol #mansuang #man suang #libraries #personal #stories #thai cinema

Y'all, I am *crying*

This is literally an ad for a university 😂

Long (from Love Syndrome) is in it, so I thought it was a trailer. It is shot for shot a drama trailer. I'm fucking dying 😂

Stay wild, Thailand advertising

The Leader of Thailand's Move Forward Party Will Attend Man Suang's Premiere

krispond.w: Beautiful and exquisite. This card is for the important guest of our movie premiere "Khun Tim Pita" @tim_pita who will join us as another driving force for Thai movies and the Thai entertainment industry to become even more powerful, being the soft power of Thailand for all of us. Be proud of being Thai #Man Suang

(via Pond's IG, translated by Google. edited for clarity.)

Move Forward is a progressive, anti-establishment party whose policies include legalizing same-sex marriage and reforming Thailand's lèse-majesté laws.

They pulled an upset victory in the general 2023 election, winning 151 seats in the House of Representatives. Their leader, Khun Pita Limjaroenrat, formed an eight-party coalition for his Prime Minister bid. But unfortunately, the party's progressive polices are very unpopular with the military-appointed senate.

As of yesterday, the current military-controlled government has officially thwarted Khun Pita's PM bid. And voters are rightfully upset.

This is huge news. The Thai public and us international viewers can be assured that the production is aligned with the right people.

But to quote @discluded: "I don't want Thailand's struggle for people to have the democracy they deserve to be boiled down to: how will this affect the performance of my blorbo's movie."

Disclaimer: I am not Thai. I've just been following Thai politics closely.
