The Lady-Intensely Real


This Luc Beeson movie, a biopic of Aung San Suu Kyi, is truly engaging.

For the unitiated of Burmese history and politics, it could really be educative.


For me, it managed to plugged some holes or gaps that I do not know in the tapestry of Burmese political history.

Michelle Yeoh and David Tewless did one fine job as Suu Kyi and Dr Michael Aris. Their endeavours to bring about democracy in a lawless land ruled by machine gun and bullets is well documented in the movie.


The movie would have been better if it has taken in what happened this year when Suu Kyi won her seat in the Burmese Parliament.

A Milestone of a movie.
