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

Big thanks for fixing the subs. Now I can finally watch this soon.

So is it any good?
>>214855357It’s a masterpiece
>>214852672Wow this is really neat, thanks for sharing. But was the movie really shot in this ratio? Feels like a weird decision for an epic.
>>214855739No. It’s the result of a dvd meant for 4:3 TVs instead of anamorphic. You can convert it to 16:9 but it would no longer be classified as a “remux”. The simple solution is to zoom to fill your screen using your media player. I use pot player!
>>214852672I promise I will watch it tomorrow OP. I keep seeing you talk about it. I'm fully committed now.
>>214856269>I keep seeing you talk about it.I'm on a mission to get it remembered. Before I started shilling it, the 2 hour 20 minute cut only had 1 mention on 4chan since 2012. 10 imdb reviews since 2011, and 20 letterboxed reviews. Nobody even knows about the original 5 hour cut.
