Absolute Zero - Thailand

[antistatic]

  


This was one of the projects announced by Studio Wabi Sabi back in 2021 that quickly fell behind schedule due to ongoing restrictions caused by the Covid19 pandemic. It's based on the Y novel 'Degree of Loss' by Salil although it has always been known as 'Absolute Zero' by international audiences. It stars Mix Wanut ('Until We Meet Again', '7 Project') as Suansoon and Tor Supakorn ('7 Project') as Ongsa, with their older selves being played by Teng Kanist ('Gay OK Bangkok', 'Saneha Stories 4') as Suansoon and Toey Puwanat as Ongsa. Support comes from Mint Benjanee ('I Will Knock You') as Na, Sine Inthira ('He's Coming To Me', 'The Eclipse') as Nun, Bever Patsapong ('Love Mechanics', '21 Days Theory') as Mangkorn, Tonliew Methaphat ('Hard Love Mission') as Ohm, Film Pitchaya ('My Only 12%') as Moli and Rong Kaomulkadee as Khun Ta. It's directed by New Siwaj ('Until We Meet Again', 'Love By Chance', 'Star and Sky' etc).


    
   


Synopsis: "Ongsa and Suansoon are boyfriends who are deeply in love but tragedy awaits when Ongsa, rushing back to help Suansoon celebrate his birthday, gets involved in a serious accident and dies. An inconsolable Suansoon blames himself and vows that if he had his time over again, he would not get together with Ongsa in the first place, thus changing history and saving his life. Incredibly, Suansoon does indeed get the chance to live his life over and finds himself back to when he and Ongsa were at high school together. He warns Ongsa about what the future has in store but to no avail, and they still end up becoming boyfriends anyway.

Ten years later, and one day before the date of the original accident, Ongsa from the future comes back to tell his younger self not to avoid the accident, because if he does, Suansoon will die instead, so Ongsa lets the accident happen. The time loop repeats itself once again but this time it is Ongsa who wakes up in the past as his younger self. He realises he is at the point in time where he had first approached Suansoon. Now it is Ongsa's turn to change the future by avoiding Suansoon so that the two of them would never meet..."

Suansoon is an idiot. There, I said it. He is making a plan based on what happened in the past (his conversation with the stranger next door), which indicate he believe the stranger next door was him. In that case, that mean everything he is trying to do is already set in stone, as his current actions already happened in his past. In that case, his plan to prevent Ongsa from meeting his younger self is doomed from the get-go.

Yes, Suansoon is an idiot. I've just decided to ignore the time travel and pretend something else is going on in my head. I think they should make the grandfather in the video store one of the two, maybe Ongsa. At times I'm enjoying the grandfather and coffee shop owner more compared to Suansoon. Isn't it time Ongsa to do his travel back in time bit? Maybe that will make more sense.
