just rewatched this movie. director's cut again, of course. it's as good to me as it was 5/6 years ago. if not even better. there are little details i noticed this time that i missed the last time. like the director's guest appearance or the beatles & elvis presley posters or the little prince photo album cover, etc.. my overall focus on the movie got somewhat redistributed. mew remains my very much favorite. tang remains a mystery. ying & tong got a beautiful friendship, that's something i almost forgot about. also, x & mew's friendship.

what's more, i understand tong a bit differently this time; the timeline of changes in his thoughts and feelings & growth. which is why my interpretation of the ending shifted a bit. idk if i should be sad about that or what. but it's more difficult this time to accept it haha.

as for mew, i think i understand him better now, though not differently. like, the posters on his room wall & the resuscitation event.. or the ending scene. these really tell more about his character.

one thing is, after this time, i really wanna watch it in hq, to enjoy the cinematography. i only now realize the visual of this movie is actually really good!

btw, after love of siam, pchy said he'd prefer working behind the scenes more rather than being in the spotlight. and now he's the executive producer of the drama "the yearbook". it's got a bit of los vibe i'd say. and although idk how much he was involved in the making process of the drama, i like to think this kinda shows how los left a long running impact on him. and i'm happy for him.

(it's pchy's birthday in 2 days. advanced happy birthday and all the good wishes.)
