The film was screened at the 2008 Hong Kong International Film Festival, where it was reviewed by Maggie Lee of The Hollywood Reporter, who echoed the criticisms that the film had too many elements. "Director Kongdej Jaturanrasamee is in two minds about turning his script into Jim Carrey-like slapstick, a candy floss romance with a dash of magical fantasy, or an offbeat road movie. He handles none of these generic variations with enough care, leaving each dangling like an unwanted arm."[7]

a light comedic, heartfelt, unexpected journey between two socially alienated people that also function as a critical reflection of how thai society is so fixated to the ideas of being normal. it's not as sharp as his other works but still a good reminder of the notions of what road trip movies can be.

Kerttikamol Lata has three arms Director: Kongdej Jaturunrutasamee Writer: Kongdej Jaturunrutasamee Cast: Kerttikamol Lata, Supaksorn Chaimongkol The Skinny: A sweet, surprising road movie about - get this - a guy with three arms! The filmmakers nix a Tim Burton-style meditation on alienation and instead deliver a character-driven road movie about two people who have a little extra where they perhaps would prefer not to. A charming and unexpected sleeper. Review
by Kozo : A sweet and surprising road movie about a guy with three arms, Handle Me With Care dodges the obvious to deliver the unexpected, and it does so quietly and without calling attention to itself. This is a film loaded with a lesson or metaphor on society's intolerance, but director Kongdej Jaturunrutasamee sidesteps that obvious direction to tell a simple character story. Maybe that doesn't seem like such a feat, but the filmmakers employ something that makes all the difference, and cinema would be much better if all directors could practice it. That something? It's called restraint.

Kwan (Kerttikamol Lata) was born with three fully functioning arms, a talent that makes him useful, but understandably estranged. After his uncle - a tailor who custom-made all of Kwan's three-armed clothing - passes on, Kwan begins to feel truly alone. Following disappointments in love and career, he decides to take an offer from a surgeon in Bangkok to have his third arm amputated. Collecting his life savings, Kwan leaves his rural village and embarks on a journey to lose the extra limb.

The film still has problems; it's overlong at two hours and meanders a bit while on the road - and again, it may not end in a way that's appealing or satisfying to all audiences. Still, the journey itself is pleasant and entertaining, with some gentle humor as well as a few tender moments between the leads that strike the proper emotional chord. Likewise, the Thai countryside is picturesque, the practical effects impressive (the third arm is created without CGI, but instead with a very coordinated "arm actor"), and the film manages a few welcome points on Kwan's predicament without reaching for the hammer. Handle Me With Care sways audiences instead of pummeling them, and is sometimes so reserved that a point of view may not be discernible. But it cares for its characters, and makes them seem real and worth the audience's time and genuine affection. That it achieves that using a three-armed man is what makes it special. (Kozo, Reviewed at the Udine Far East Film Festival, 2008)

Thai film director Tran The Dan told the Bangkok Poast the living standard of some well-off Thai families, who could afford to send their offspring to Hollywood or renowned American movie schools, had done much for the development of this art. "I am very impressed by the way Thai movies have taken off, in terms of technique and creative achievements," he said, referring to success stories like Fun Bar Karaoke and Nang Nak. "When we can catch hold of the right topic, we will have a great chance of creating a good film. But I think Thai films, like all Asian films, have to make sure to protect their national identity. If we try and follow American culture, we get nowhere," the former, and eminent, film director explained, hoping that more collaboration on film-making would develop within the framework of Asean.

Thais can be very shy and conservative when it comes to sex. Most Thai actress refuse to do nude scenes and explicit sex scenes are cut from movies. Politics and controversial social issues are also largely absent from Thai filsm. At the Cannes Film Festival in 2010, acclaimed Thai film diector Apichatpong Weerasethakul said that due to the strict local censorship requirements, Thai filmmakers resort to either action movies or comedies rather deal with more serious social themes or controversial topic or touch on subjects that even hint of politics.

Two of Thailand's leading film bodies have launched an online petition drive, winning more than 4,500 signatures to call for the abolition of the 77-year-old Thai Film Act, which governs censorship of movies. Thai filmmakers often feel that the censors' decisions are arbitrary, handed down by a panel of people with little interest in or knowledge of the industry, said Kong Rithdee, film critic for the Bangkok Post newspaper. "('Syndromes and a Century') is small -- it does not have the backing of a big studio," added Kong, who has been writing about Apichatpong's films since the director's early days. "This makes a big difference. If you have some connection, someone you can talk to, it may be negotiable." **



Like much Asian cinema, 'The Bodyguard' is a wild mixture of violence, sentiment, heavy-handed humour and first-rate action. At its core is the same sense of national pride and idealism seen in 'Ong Bak' and 'Born to Fight', going those films one better by climaxing with the underclass and upper class uniting for an improbable wedding. But, whereas Sahamongkol Films' two crown jewels of action cinema wear their authentic stunt work as badges of honour, 'The Bodyguard' is more indebted to Hong Kong cinema, with liberal use of wirework, John Woo style gunplay and a blatant nod to 'Once Upon A Time In China' during the final fight, complete with Under the General's Orders accompaniment. The film's closest cousin is Wong Jing and Jackie Chan's 'City Hunter', with humour boiled down to fat men in Speedos and foul-mouthed harpies, wild shifts in tone and self-reflexive in-jokes to previous movies and real-life actors. As a nod to the film that started it all, Tony Jaa pops up for a one-scene cameo, throwing impressive shapes as he inevitably kicks goon butt. ^

Many Karen have a cultural value of not imposing on others or being quiet or less talkative. Doctors have high social status so patients may not be comfortable questioning them or expressing dissatisfaction with their treatment. Health care providers should ask open ended questions and allow opportunity for Karen patients to follow up with additional questions about their healthcare at a later time. Generally, patients consult with members of their own community about healthcare-related matters and then will have more information to follow-up with their doctor again.

A study done on Karen women in a Karen refugee camp revealed that home births with the use of traditional midwives was preferred over delivering in the hospital. Of the 89 total mothers who participated in this study, 66 women reported that shame was the reason for avoiding hospital care and delivery. For example, vaginal examinations, leg exposure from not being completely covered by their sarongs, and male health staff being present were contributors to the shame of hospital visitations and stay. Furthermore, the comforts of family and friends where there is already an establishment of close relationships and understanding were key factors in preferring traditional delivery.
