I'm going to go see this tomorrow. This movie is more for entertainment not documentary so don't expect any historical accuracy. They only borrowed the actual event and characters from the region then fantasized, exaggerated the everything to make it more fun and interesting to watch.

The Art of dulum actually still practice today by local fishermen, but it is nothing more than the way to listen and locate type fish under the water. The movie exaggerate The Art of dulum that person who practice dulum can communicate with the fish and control the fish, even big fish like whale.

Anyway, I think this movie is going to be really good if you're not too serious about the history.

If Malaysia would make a big production movie like this, I'm sure it would sells in Thailand. Thailand is one of the biggest market for the world film industry. Hong Kong, India, Korea, Hollywood. All movies from these countries are doing very well and make good money in Thailand. Thai people love movies and are not bias racism when it comes to movies. We watch whatever is good. Hey.. I watch everything that looks good to me, except for Indian movies. I got nothing against them but I just can't stand how they sing and dance around the trees all the time. If they would just make normal movie without the singing, I would watch it.

Finally I got to see it. I have been a big fan of Chinese and Japanese period movies all my life. I love the sight of the ancient village, Sword Fight scenes, Samurai walking around. After more than 30 years the Chinese and Japanese cinema has probably maxed out their potential. I found these period movies very lame boring nothing new. I have lost my interest I started to read and do many research on many Southeast Asian culture and history including Burma, Philippine, Laos, Cambodian Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam. I have become very fascinated with how colorful and much more interesting about varies Southeast Asian culture than the Well Known to the world Chinese and Japanese. I kept wishing that someone would take some of these local legend and put into film with all these beautiful fancy costumes. I was so happy that there were many period film out in Thailand and then raised of Tony Jaa who shown the world how to Muay Thai on film. I couldn't have been happier and I kept wishing that some other countries in Southeast Asian would try to really get into film making and make Southeast Asia another competitive market. I was so happy back in 2004 when Puteri gunung ledang came out. It was a really good try but it was a little let down for me. I guess I was so hyped up about it and really expect extraordinary. Never the less it was descent enough for international market. This was never released in Thailand but I was lucky to have been in Kuala lumpur at that time. I am very fascinated with Malay, Indonesian, Burmese and Filipino Martial Arts. and I really wish to see Malay costume with Keris in good action, and finally this Film Queen of Langkasuka fulfilled my wish and it took the Thai to do it Spectacular. I really hope that we get more of this type of Southeast Asian period type movie. I don't care who make them as long as they're good.
