Tears of the Black Tiger


Tears of the Black Tiger Thai , or Fa Thalai Chon, literally, the heavens strike the thief is a 2000 Thai western film written and directed by Wisit Sasanatieng. The story of a tragic romance between Dum, a fatalistic, workingclass hero, who has become an outlaw, and Rumpoey, the upperclass daughter of a provincial governor, it is equal parts homage to and parody of Thai action films and romantic melodramas of the 1950s and 1960s.

An elegant young woman carries a suitcase through the rain to wait in an ornate gazebo on a lotus swamp. She gazes at a photo of the man for whom she waits.The young man, whose name is Dum, is with another gunman named Mahesuan, who defies Yoi, an enemy of their boss Fai, to come out of a house. Dressed all in black and wearing a cowboy hat, Dum charges through a hail of bullets into the house and outshoots eight of Yois men. Dum fires his revolver, and the bullet ricochets around the room before drilling into a mans forehead. A red title card then flashes up and says Did you catch that? If not, well play it again And the shot is replayed in slow motion, showing the bullet bouncing off items in a Rube Goldberg fashion. ........
