The Right Man - Because I Love You (2016)

The best short film I have watched. A beautiful story about first love, a mother’s love and love in all.

THE STORY:
The story follows Than and his mother. Than and his mother have a close relationship and know almost everything about each other. What Than’s mother doesn’t know is her son is gay and in a relationship with Palm. When she discovers their relationship, she is angry and causes Than to storm out on her. While staying with Palm, he realises that he must right his relationship with his mother and returns home. At this time his mother does not talk of his sexual identity. All the while he has been chatting with a secret neighbour, who is revealed to have been his mother all along. Than realises his mother has always known. The next day, while he tries to apologise, his mother apologises instead. He also apologises for hurting her and they make up. The short ends with Than and Palm hugging signifying their happy relationship.

THE ACTING:
What great acting! Although this series has War as Than, the mother turned out to be the breakout star. The way she cried when apologising to Than had me crying.

THE PRODUCTION:
The production could have been handled better, but I believe for a short it did its job.

THE OST:
The OST is awesome. Boy Sompob is on the track list so you know it’s going to be good!

I hope everyone tries this at least one time, as this movie deserves way more love. I also hope this review makes you watch it. Thank You!
