Suriyothai (2001) depicts the 16th century ruined Kingdom of Ayutthaya, which later became Siam. During this period, there were 2 city states that encompassed Siam (Ayutthaya and Pitsanulok). This film takes place over a score of years where the Kingdom saw many invasions from the neighboring Honsawadi (Ancient Burma).The film features full scale outdoor sets, real temples, throne rooms, ancient palaces, and massive scenes with thousands of extras on camera in a scale not seen since Lawrence of Arabia. It was funded by the Thai royal crown, allowing them access to royal palaces and relics, and directed by one of the Thai princes who went to film school with Francis Ford Coppola. Coppola later re-edited the film, trimming 3 hours from its runtime, changed its name, added his own name to the title and ruined it. It is shot in a traditional manner using practical effects. They conscripted 20,000 soldiers to play the extras, used 350 elephants, etc.This is the never before ripped non-export edition of Suriyothai that came in the mail on Monday. As a celebration for finally discovering the 2.0 track, I have painstakingly and professionally re-written the entire English subtitle sourced from the export DVD, all 3,000 lines of dialog. Beforehand, the previous hard subtitle packaged with the export DVD was completely botched, with improper grammar, misspellings, mis-translations, and even several scenes without subtitle at all. I worked through the subtitle top to bottom. I believe you all will be pleased with the result.I continue my effort to resurrect this utterly lost film, a masterpiece that was ruined by none other than Francis Ford Coppola, that is now relegated to the dustbin of film history. I have contacted Arrow, Kino Lorber, Criterion, and just about everyone else about remastering this film in its full 300 minute, 5-hour long glory.>DOWNLOAD:https://gofile.io/d/LldjJm>PREVIEW(s):https://www.viddler.com/QU8tzvhttps://www.viddler.com/EDsp58

>>214845096I will be getting your subs here in a moment OP. Thank you very much
I downloaded it, but is it on avistas too?
>>214846504Yes I put it there. The main file has an outdated subtitle though. I have included the latest sub but you have to add it yourself. If you don't know how to do that it can be kind of confusing. It's better just to download the gofile above, which is the latest version with the latest subtitle.
>>214846520doing god's work
Amazing work, thank you based media archivist
>>214846577>>214846564thx. also, just a PSA, the DVD rip is 4:3 letterboxed. Simply use your media player to zoom in until your screen is filled. That's the best way to preserve the original quality.
>>214846700and then after zooming in on a 2k monitor...of course, you can watch it letterboxed as well. It actually works out quite nicely regardless.
