On the eve of the draft lottery in Thailand, Oat remembers trying to convince his older brother to change his fate.
4. How to Win at Checkers (Every Time) - Far East Film Festival
Josh Kim too has taken on the golden rule Oat learned from the checker manual: “Do whatever it takes to win, even if that means someone else has to lose”.
On the eve of Thailand’s military draft lottery, young Oat cannot sleep, tormented by nightmares and memories. That event takes him back to a time when he was just 11 and his older brother Ek, after turning twenty one, had been called to “try his luck” at the lottery. In Thailand, the two year long military service is allotted through a public lottery ceremony, where all the physically fit youngsters draw a red (enlisted) or a black (exempted) card. In the time when Ek was called to the lottery, military service was particularly feared, because that was the period when the level of tension in the Muslim south of the country was at its peak, with attacks and aggressions whose victims were especially found among the soldiers deployed in the area. But Oat’s Proustian stroll down memory lane is most of all a very unusual return on the subjects of life apprenticeship and male identity. The child’s eye of naïve eleven year old Oat, at that time, saw the relationship between Ek and, “his richer, taller, whiter” than his brother, boyfriend Jai, a relationship doomed to failure because the two boys “lived in different worlds”, his superstitious ant who had taken in the boys after the death of their parents, the unashamed bullying by Junior, the local black market’s boss’s son, the injustice and the suffering of growing up and the life lessons unpredictably taught by some magazine that showed “how to win at checkers (every time)”… Far East Film regulars and old-timers, who have wat...
