BEYOND RANGOON. Some of you have may have seen it already(released in 1995). If you haven’t I suggest you do. Its a story (inspired by real events) about an American lady doctor who gets caught in the crossfire between pro democracy rebel students (supporters of Aung Sang Sui ki ) and the military troops in BURMA and how the events affect her personal view of life . Patricia Arquette is brilliant in the lead role. The film feels very real and makes you empathize with the present situation in Burma where the military dictators are getting away with murder mostly because the rest of the world does not know or does not care. A very well made movie… I am a bit surprised I had not even heard of it before picking it up casually today at the movie rentals.
I was also interested to know how the movie could have been shot in Burma because it is so much anti-establishment in its gory depiction of their cruelties. I just read at a website that it was shot on location in Malaysia.
Thought I should let the Guppies know about this one. People , that is all ( Guess I have been bitten by THE GAME bug ).
