Film after film: Moneyboys (dir. C.B. Yim 2021)

This film irritated me while I was watching it, but then, in the end, I eventually liked it. The problem is plot machinations, those moments when the filmmakers decide to skip some events and focus on some others, yet without making comfortable shortcuts in how the protagonist got from point a to point b to point c. This happens here a few times, including, most irritatingly, the ending, but otherwise it's a gripping story, with a few great performances, especially by Kai Ko and Bai Yufan, whose dancing scene is easily the most effective.

Crítica | MONEYBOYS

MONEYBOYS veio pra ficar! De direção de C. B. Yi e protagonismo de Ko Chen-tung, esse é um daqueles filmes que te deixam pensando por dias. Vem ler a crítica!

Sabe aquele gênero de filme forte que te deixa completamente atordoado com um gostinho agridoce na boca? MONEYBOYS se encaixa perfeitamente nessa categoria. A nova produção chinesa é, sem dúvidas, revolucionária na indústria cinematográfica e promete estremecer o pódio de melhores produções de drama, uma vez que ousa na abordagem de assuntos considerados “tabu” na cultura oriental.

You will like it if:

you like understated yet powerful stories

My grade: 8,5/10

My favorite things about this movie:

the INCREDIBLE acting, especially by aelm bhumibhat who's slowly becoming one of the best & most powerful thai actors in my eyes. ud awat & pae arak also ate this up bruh.

the directing & cinematography are so so so good, they remind me of p'nuchie anucha & apichatpong weerasethakul and I mean that in the best way.

this story is so impactful & I know I will remember it for years to come. this movie didn't go AT ALL where I thought it would at first, and I'm grateful because the last 30 minutes made it become a favorite for me.

super niche but this whole cast is crazy & I simply adore who they got to sign on this movie, like... pae arak??? that's insane, like literally insane. ud awat showed his whole ass twice & frankly? slay. the cast is too fucking good but that's just a me point bc you probably don't know them lol.

I forgot to take a picture but one of our philosophy freshmen was always scribbling on paper during the weekend trip. He left one on a table and it read "Leibniz, Spinoza, Heidegger, MoneyBoy"

and that's poetry to me
