Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Michael Ledo I am sorry, but this movie stinks. I don't care how many people write good reviews, I couldn't wait for the movie to end. In fact I nearly turned it off half way through.The positive aspect of this movie is the splendid use of color contrast, especially the bright red of the woman's dress and lips nearly matching the roof of the Pagoda in a drab blue-green background. Some of the backdrops were cartoonish, others just colorful.When you have a bunch of Thai guys running around in cowboy outfits with Clark Gable mustaches, you expect something funny to happen, which it did when the main character, a likeable outlaw, shoots his gun. Unfortunately this "Trinity" aspect wasn't used enough to save this film. Our outlaw is part of a weak love triangle which involves a woman who he knew when he was 10, now the governor's daughter. A captain in the militia hunting outlaws, and our bad guy, "The Black Tiger." Dum (the Black Tiger) is the main character, short for Dumas. I wasn't sure what this meant. Was this something in Thai lost in translation? A reference to the author Dumas? or a slur that the guy is simply a dum-as?The colors in the movie are nice, it might rank 7 stars on acid. Please don't attempt to watch this movie sober, leave that to the professionals.

dbborroughs Parody/homage/ pastiche/(take your pick) film thats a send up of romance movies and Italian westerns. so over the top you'll wonder if there ever was a top, this is one wild ride, even by Thai movie standards.With blood and gore and painted backgrounds mixing with real locations and a very deliberate sense of reality this film is either going to strike you as a master piece or a piece of cow flop. I'm somewhere in the middle-leaning towards the dislike camp. The problem for me its so artificial I that I was watching the wheels and gears whir instead of watching the story unfold. I also am not really in love with the idea that this is almost two hours long. Overwhelmed with the artifice I turned it off a good clip in. The reaction is not really unexpected since I have a real love hate relations hip with the Thai film industry where I find I either lover or hate the films, there is no rhyme or reason other than I dislike most Thai horror films I stumble upon on my own.Is Black Tiger worth seeing (or should that be trying?)? Hell yea. There is nothing like it for shaking the dust from the notion of all movies are the same. There is nothing like this I've ever seen in the west and very few in the east.

Larry Peel (Larry_L_Peel) The spaghetti western, once home on the range to actors like Rex Harrison and Lex Barker, nearly wasn't – until they met Clint. In 1963 a burgeoning director named Sergio Leone was given $200,000, a load of old stock footage, and told to make a western. The result is branded in the annals of film history - Per un Pugno di Dollari -- A Fistful of Dollars. Soon every investor from Europe to the back lots was clamoring to revitalize the western. The horse was put to pasture by the mid-1970's, but it wasn't until 2005 and Brokeback Mountain that the horse was believed finally shot. Enter writer/director Wisit Sasanatieng, riding high in the saddle to revise the old style. "Fah talai jone – Tears of the Black Tiger". The Thai film was an instant cult hit, riding into the market like "Shanghai Noon" on acid. Sasanatieng shows homage to the greats that came before him with the flair of Leone and the violence of Sam Raimi.When Dum, a young peasant boy, falls in love with Rampoey, they vow that, whatever happens, they will one day be together. Ten years on Dum (voice over by Philip Hersh), is the notorious gang-member 'Sua Dum - Black Tiger' (Chartchai Ngamsan). When he is commanded to execute police captain Kumjorn (Arawat Ruangvuth) who has one last request that Dum explain to his fiancé how he died. Dum realizes that Kumjorn's fiancé is, in fact, Rumpoey. Will love win through? Or will the heavens strike the heart of the Thief one final time? The film is billed as a musical western, and on that it delivers, in spades. The costuming is over the top with color that deliberately sets it apart from its forefathers in American and Italian cinema, but the musical numbers are rousing and enjoyable. The film plays with Leone style, plodding through the standardized plot of a B-western, but suddenly switches gears to a Raimi-esquire blood and guts show. The cowboys carry 'might powerful weapons', including – ready – rocket launchers. Sasanatieng obviously places his tongue firmly in his cheek with this project, but the influence of, and reference to, western films is unmistakable."Tears" is Sasanatieng's first attempt at helming, originally released in 2000, and is to date his only award nominated/winning project. It was nominated for 3 Grand Prix awards and appropriately won the Dragons and Tigers Award at Vancouver. Following "Tears", the director took a few years off before coming back with "Citizen Dog" and "The Unseeable" in 2004 and 2006 respectively. He is currently working on a project in Singapore entitled "Armful", which is in pre-production.

Philip Van der Veken If you are in for something different than you should definitely see this movie. "Tears of the Black Tiger" is a combination of a spaghetti Western (perhaps I should call it a noodle Western) and a romantic tearjerker, but as if that is not enough, it's also plenty of candy colors and some gory scenes. The story seems to come right out of the fifties and the (over-)acting will remind you of the silent movies in the 1920's and 1930's.I can assure you that it is rather surprising when you see Thai cowboys having a gun fight. It's rather obvious that the director is a great fan of Sergio Leone's work, because sometimes the scenes seem to come right out "Once Upon a Time in the West". And if they aren't almost a literal copy (the water dripping on the cowboy's hat for instance), than they sure have been influenced by it (the harmonica).The story seems to come right out of the fifties: a young couple can't be together because she's the daughter of a governor and he's a gang member from the countryside. She'll have to marry a young police officer, much against her will, and only wants to be with her lover. Of course the police officer and the 'bad guy' will meet...Sometimes the scenes are really magnificent (for instance on the lake with all the lotus flowers and the beautiful landscape), but most of the time the movie is a bit too ridiculous for me. I mean: I can still live with cowboys in Thailand and the colors were something different, but still enjoyable, but overall the story was a bit too naive and unbelievable too my taste. If this movie had been more a "classic" Asian movie, without the sometimes bizarre influences, I would have appreciated it a lot more. Now I give it a 5.5/10.
