한 소년의 폭풍 래핑으로 영화를 연다. 태국 슬럼가에 살고 있는 18살 북과 13살 논은 ‘바닥에서 시작한 삶’이 어떤 것인지 이미 잘 알고 있다. 태국 최고의 래퍼가 되어 엄마에게 집을 사주는 게 꿈인 이 ‘슬럼 키즈 래퍼’들은 어떡하면 학교를 그만 둘 수 있을지 고심 중이다. 학교 공부도 싫지만 더 싫은 건 군부가 작성한 ‘착한 아이 되기 12계명’ 을 암송하는 일. 그딴 건 훌륭한 래퍼가 되는데 도리어 걸림돌일 뿐이다. 빈곤과 불평등, 억압적인 교육 체계에 맞선 소년들의 랩이 질주하는 동안, 와타나푸메 라이수완차이 감독은 그들 랩에 라임을 맞추듯 때로는 감각적인 빠른 편집으로, 때로는 긴 트래킹 쇼트로 영화의 리듬을 구축해간다. 키즈 래퍼와 청년 감독의 경쾌하고 조화로운 합주.

Once upon a time, cinema was mainstream entertainment in Thailand. Movie theaters in Thailand were the place where families hung out. 30 years ago, there were 140 standalone movie theaters in Bangkok. As time went by, old-fashioned movie theaters are forgotten. Most of them became second-class movie theater showing double feature or pornography and eventually closed down. Thonburi Rama is the last second class movie theater that opened until 2013 , when it had to close down. After the closure of Thonburirama, Rit, a projectionist who worked there for more than 25 years became a jobless person. His knowledge of film projecting became useless. He turned into an alcoholic and tried to study Dharma. Sometimes what he spoke were things that he mixed the reality with his own fantasy. Rit went back to his hometown where his wife and daughter owned a rubber plantation, but he felt that he didn’t fit in and lost all hope.

The film Lucid Reminiscence was made for the Thai Film Archive and explored the good old days of the movie theatre through interviews with three people – critics Kittisak Suwanabhokin and Manotham Theamtheabrat and movie director Somkiet Vithuranich. Their faces are not shown during the film. Indeed the only visual stimulation is two abandoned standalone cinemas mostly used to store the paraphernalia of street vendors and children’s playgrounds.
