Ong Bak 2

Ong BakThe Beginning is a 2008 Thai martial arts film codirected by and starring Tony Jaa. It is a followup to Jaas 2003 breakout film OngBak Muay Thai Warrior. Initially claimed to be a sequel to OngBak Muay Thai Warrior, Ong Bakwas then announced to be a prequel to its predecessor. Unlike its predecessor however, which had a contemporary and realistic setting, Ong Bakis actually set in 15th century Thailand and as such, could be described as a historical epic with elements of fantasy combined, and has nothing to do with the original OngBak. Ong Bakalso has nothing to do with Jaas 2005 film TomYumGoong, which was sometimes incorrectly labelled Ong Bakin the West, as well as The Protector and The Warrior King. TomYumGoong had a contemporary setting similar to OngBak Muay Thai Warrior, although it too had different characters and plot. Jaas films had yet to tie into each other, although Jaa had claimed they would do so with the release of Ong Bakin 2010, which they did. As well as the different historical setting to Jaas previous films, Ong Bakhas taken a notably grittier and bloodier direction.

The film begins in 1431 feudal Siam. It is a time of political upheaval, treachery and danger. The opening scene explains how during the reign of Boromarajatiraj II of the Ayutthaya Kingdom, the Ayutthaya royal court became more powerful than the Sukhothai kingdom and expanded to the east. The Ayutthaya army besieged the Kingdom of Gods for several months. The king sent his son, Prince Indraracha to rule the kingdom.At the new kingdom, Lord Sihadecho is a provincial ruler, and a gallant and noble warrior of a formally great dynasty. His son, Tien, a spirited and unyielding youth, aspires to be just like his father, but is forced to undergo dance lessons instead much to his disdain. Meanwhile, the treacherous and powercraving Lord Rajasena, a former city administrator of the capital city, plots to seize total control of all Asia and has amassed the greatest army in Asia. Rajasena sends out vicious assassins to murder Lord Sihadechos family and his loyal soldiers. The only survivor from this massacre is Tien, who manages to escape with deep vengeance in his heart. ........
