This is my second blog and in this blog I will write a review. I have chosen to write about the film ”A prayer before dawn”. A prayer before dawn is a fantastic film that was publiced on 19 May 2017. The film is directed by Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire and starring Joe Cole. The genres are Action, Crime, drama and sport.
The film is about a young adult who lives in a poor neighborhood in Thailand. He works as a boxer and as a boxing trainer, but he’s also addicted to drugs and is charged with possession of stolen goods. So he was arrested for that and sent to a prison in Thailand and quickly he spends his days chasing his addiction. He also sees a lot of violence that is typical in Thai prison life. But he wants to fight! he fights in the Muay Thai tournament to earn his freedom.
I think this film is amazing. What I ”like” about the film is that it is a true story. Because of that the film has a bigger impact on my mind and how sad this story really is. the story is based on what Billy Moore has experienced in his life. Billy Moore has been through Everything that happened in the film. The Thai culture can also be seen in the film. This culture is totally different to our Western culture. This other culture makes the film also a lot better. The prison is also different to our Dutch ‘prison’. All in All this film is beautiful
I would totally recommend this film because it is not a long film and totally worth the time. It is even informative. And most important, it is available on Netflix 🙂
