I watched this over the weekend. Enjoyable historical movie. I'm not sure if it's factual, but if it is, it showed how the role of women changed as the needs arose.
Suriyothai was a minor princess who made many sacrifices, shown throughout the movie. Often ignoring her wants/needs to help her country, family, others.
The movie was set in the mid 1500's. Not quite appropriate for the classroom, due to some minor nudity and violence, yet it is all w/in the context of the film.
A nice film to rent to get a perspective on Thai/Burma history.
