“Is it possible to love someone you've never met before?”.. That is the main caption of this heart warming romantic Thai movie. This caption itself managed to hold my attention leaving me many questions.
The Teacher's Diary is a Thai comedy-drama movie directed by Nithiwat Tharatorn. The lead roles of the two teachers male and female are delivered by Chermarn Boonyasak and Sukrit Wisetkaew known to be as talented actors from Thailand.
The movie evolves around two teachers and their lonely experiences in a rural area which They were posted to the same school near the mountains of Chiang Mai within a year apart. The female teacher who got posted to the rural school is a slightly stubborn character that loves to explore.
She stays in the houseboat in the middle of the lake and finds her life stagnated as there is no other connection to the rest of the world as they have no telephone, internet, electricity or other urban facilities. Therefore she starts restoring her much elaborated thoughts, frustrations and expectations in a form of diary. This diary literally presents the gist of her entire stay in this rural area, yet she leaves it when she is posted to another school.
Next, this diary falls into the new teacher's hands, who goes through the same sentiments during his stay. He finds her thoughts written in the diary so fascinating, making him fall in love with her thoughts, then eventually fall in love with her.
He gives back life to her diary by continuing to write his thoughts in it before he leave the school. As the story unfolds the woman teacher gets her former position back to the same school finds her diary has been continued by a stranger. Which similarly making her loving the sweet thoughts that are written in her diary.
The cinematography of the movie will capture your eyes and thoughts making you getting lost in a serine rural setting. The director of The Teacher's Diary has taken much trouble to show the best part of been away from the urban hassle, the fast moving hours, stress filled environments by taking you to a different dimension of tranquility.
The Teacher's Diary will remind you some typical scenarios from the olden slow moving classics romantic movies where much importance is given to understanding each others thoughts and feelings (which I prefer when comes to romantic movie genre).
But you will definetely fall for the main two
characters as they show some different struggles they have to go
through when accepted by the elder generation, such as having tattoos and stubborn mentality. But again the director has achieved his target telling that although through all these differences they still can deliver a great service. I personally liked the way these two different characters are portrayed revealing their skills, dedication, relationship struggles and more.
If you are a person who prefer romantic movies, there you have a wonderful choice in hand. It would not disappoint you in any way.
I would like to thank Golden Screen Cinemas for providing the premiere screening passes for The Teacher's Diary.
