Re expectations re "The Lady": let me emphasize once again that it's not primarily a political biography of Aung San Suu Kyi. I think going into a viewing of the film with that thought in mind will help a lot.YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-76074338138050113252012-02-08T06:54:51.911+08:002012-02-08T06:54:51.911+08:00Thank you for your review.

Who says a woman can't look better in her late 40s (she'll be 50 this year!) than in her 20s? ;b<br /><br />But no to seeing Aung San Suu Kyi flying kicking the generals.

Still it would have been nice I would guess to see Aung San Suu Kyi knock a few generals with flying kicks!

Still, as you say, it hasn't worked -- and BTW, there's still no release date for "The Lady" in Michelle Yeoh's (and my) homeland... sad.<br /><br />Also food for thought re what you said about Michelle Yeoh having a graceful air.

It doesn't seem to have worked, it is banned in some places. <br /><br />Funny I thought that Michelle Yeoh was great casting from the start but I was looking at her graceful air more than her energy level.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807205757095971212noreply@blogger.com
