You might not know him but you definitely know his mother and father. Model turned actor, ‘Guy’ Navapol Lumpoon is the son of talented actress and singer Marsha Wattanapanich and Nui Lumpoon, he makes his acting debut in the film, ‘Yak Dai Yin Wah Ruk Gan (Want to hear that you love me, อยากได้ยินว่ารักกัน, Eng title: Best Supporting Actor)”. Don’t ask about the English title, I thought it was odd too, I’m sure they will change it because it doesn’t make sense at all.
The plot of the film centers around 3 young people:
Kao (Guy Navapol)-a young man waiting for his soul mate.
Song (‘Bik’ Tongpoom Siriphiphat)-a young man who is waiting to hear the words ‘I love you’ from the person he loves.
Nor (May Rujipas Kohkiat)-a young woman determined to prove that love (must) exist. In the past, she has been emotionally battered by love.
It’s a love triangle (I’m assuming), but more focus on the underdog, the pitiful guy in the group (i.e Song).
From the director:“I feel that songs that are most tuneful and have the most hits are songs about heartbreaks, songs about disappointments in love. But in movies, there is not a lot of plot line centering around disappointments in love. In the fulfillment of the leading actor and actress, you only have the supporting actor experiencing disappointments secretively (in the darkness). ‘Yak Dai Yin Wah Ruk Gan (Want to hear that you love me)’ is a movie about that person, the person no one cares for.”
The film is produced by Feeling Films and directed by Alonggot Uephaibun.
Songs for the soundtrack were released first to stir interest from the public, the youth generation. Like the songs, will go watch the movie, was the marketing idea.
The song “Yak Dai Yin Wah Ruk Gan (the song)” by folk rock duo Asanee & Wasan Chotikul was remade by Da Endorphine for the film’s soundtrack. Embedded in the music video for Da Endorphine’s version are clips from the film.
At the beginning where Nor (May) touches Song (Bik)’s heart: “Song, do you like this song? Because whenever you like a song very much your heart beats faster. When we are listening to a song that we like with a lot of people, our hearts will beat at the same rhythm.”
Calories Blah Blah also contributed to the film’s soundtrack, listen to his song here.
