Default "Bang Rajan"

Just saw it.
As a movie, it is very bad. The story is fascinating but the script is awful; no flow, no development, no tension... Too many flashbacks, too many unnecessary sidelines and the acting is .... well... amateurish, to say the least.
Interesting things: the Dhas are much longer and wider than what we see in contemporary collections and one guy was wielding a panabas-like weapon ( a Hyper-Mak?)
The Burmese were portrayed as completely inhuman, murderous and cruel. I still remember, in Thailand, even the most sophisticated people told us time and time again about Burmese invasions as if it happened yesterday. They freely admitted that they still hated the Burmese with a vengeance.
Memories do not die easily...
