In every human aspect, there is always scope for learning. Similarly, every film
industry can learn something from each other. In this article, we will be discussing a few things which Thai films can undoubtedly know from Hollywood and corporate those ideas and corrections in their upcoming movies for better viewership and improved quality of their entertainment industry as well.
1. Subtle Acting
While some movies require over-the-top acting, most movies can do without
it. Despite Thai films being excellent and heart-warming, sometimes, their
exaggerated drama throws the public into what we call “cringe” in modern
times. They can learn how to incorporate good subtle acting among the actors
from Hollywood.
2. VFX
This heavily depends on the budget the film is based on is entirely
understandable that most film industries cannot afford the budget that most
Hollywood films do. Even then, it would not kill to have put better effort into
VFX, so it looks more natural instead of hilarious.
3. Style
While this is subjective and varies from person to person, most people would
agree that Hollywood knows which style would suit their celebrities on the big
screen. It makes them look glamorous and not too flashy. Thai film industries
can learn a thing or two about how to adjust clothing or accessory styles on
their models and actors.
4. Make-Up
This point is a given. It does not require a further explanation either. Some
Thai actors carry too heavy a make-up look on their faces which does not
make them look natural and looks funny or unprofessional instead. It is high
time that Thai should start putting more emphasis on good makeup rather
than loud makeup.
5. Posters
We can all agree that while Hollywood film posters look pretty attractive, eye-
catching, and glamourous, Thai film posters look more amateur compared to
them. It does not spend much on its design or quality most of the time like it
should and sometimes ends up looking childish when the movie’s content is
far from it.
6. Titles
This is such a vital subject to discuss. It is still a mystery why they think it is
attractive or, rather, adorable to give cheesy or funny titles in some movies
when it is not fun at all. If anything, it diminishes the interest of many viewers
who end up choosing not wanting to watch it even if the movie is fantastic.
7. Storylines
Most certainly, many viewers have noticed how quite a few Thai movies share
a common theme and storylines, which are just reproduced year after year
with different titles. They must do better if they want to draw in the broader
mass to watch their films. It is so repetitive that expecting or watching new
content is once in a blue moon. Plus, their storylines are incredibly predictable
too.
8. Emotional Reach
Hollywood movies, no matter what genre they are, always manage to build an
emotional connection with that audience. Undoubtedly, everyone universally wants to watch them and willingly waits for their subsequent releases. On the
other hand, Thai movies sometimes fail in building that emotional reach, and it
gets lost in the many activities they try to show in one movie.
9. Larger Than Life
Hollywood is excellent at showing larger-than-life movies on a grand scale. It
looks like being sucked into a fantasy novel with amazing graphics and
surroundings. Somehow, Thai movies barely try to reach that level, perhaps
too intimidated, or they fail to create the same impact as Hollywood movies.
10. Prominence To Women
Hollywood has always given an important amount of prominence to women.
Women actresses not only get a significant lead role but also get to act on the
big screen despite getting aged. On the other hand, the Thai film industry
mostly shows women having prominence if it’s a romcom, stereotyping the
women, and most of the time, they focus on youth.
