Story Structure:

This movie is a nonlinear story structure, it follows no specific pattern. The sequences were however properly arraned so as for the audience to understand the film. There were also flashbacks that were included which were very effective.

It is all about a woman name Nak whose faithful love for her husband Mak defies death. The story starts with Mak who is sent to fight in a war and leaves his pregnant wife Nak. Mak seriously injured on the said war. But he was able to returns home. Mak lives with his wife and their child without even knowing that Nak died while she’s giving birth to her child and without his awareness that he leaves with a ghosts. He was spellbound by it.

Analysis:

It’s good, touching and at the same time horrifying. The dialogues were very good so so as the special effects and flashback. Development in lengths of it was well done. The continuity of each scene has really patterned. The story is very good. Characters did a good job. My expectation was somehow delayed. The stylistic form was not that bad but not that so good. It was sometimes boring but if you will merely focus on the movie you will find yourself loving it because the story is great. It is a story driven film. And in terms of its unity, the director was able to create the story or weave it just like a perfect masterpiece.
