Beyond Rangoon is a dramatic movie involving numerous deaths and bloodshed. The main character of the movie, Laura Bowman, played by Patricia Arquette, has recently returned to her home in the United States to find her husband and young son murdered. In order to clear her mind and get her back on track, Laura's sister, Andy Bowman, takes her on a trip to exotic Burma.

This movie takes on some international issues as well based on the fact that Burma is an unstable country led by a military dictatorship. The filming of this movie was done in nearby Malaysia since Burma and the United States are hateful of each other. Burma's government is very aggressive and is not afraid to kill its citizens, especially during a democratic uprising as shown in the movie. A female named Aung San Suu Kyi, still alive and on house arrest today, was responsible for creating hope and joy that democracy would one day take over Burma.

While parading with her supporters in Burma, Aung San Suu Kyi was met by military force. She forced the men with guns drawn to stand aside while she continued her march with Laura Bowman watching the whole time. Bowman would later return to her hotel after watching Aung San Suu Kyi with admiration to find that the military police were waiting for her with her sister. They were all ordered to leave the next day since Bowman did not respect Burma's curfew laws for Americans.

This is a perennial favorite because of the scenery (it's set in Burma, shot in Malaysia), because of the strong heroine, and because of the mix of politics and adventure...

This film was working on two objectives: to make politically and tell a story scary adventure. It's often difficult to do politically, and still tell a good story like many politicians, but rarely, Ellen funny last season. Beyond Rangoon to find a good balance between politics and storytelling.

Thanks for the Reviews, I Think This is a nice movie. I will plan to watch This movie.
