At present, among the major film production and distribution companies in Thailand, Sahamongkol Film International, established in 1970, is the largest, followed by GMM Tai Hub, which was established in 2003. The rest include: Kantana Group (1951), Five Star Production (1973) ), RS Film (1976), Muay Thai Stunt (1979) and other four major companies.
Judging from the establishment time of several major film companies in Thailand, it can be seen that the Thai film industry began to take root and grow in the 70s. Even the earliest establishment of Kantana Group actually started with radio dramas or TV dramas at the beginning of its establishment.In contrast, GTH is an emerging film company. Its joint ventures, GMM Grammy (1983), Tai Entertainment (1985) and Hub Ho Hin Bangkok (1991), were established in the 80s.
In less than ten years, GTH has become the second largest film company in Thailand. It relies on two major types of films, horror, thriller and youthful romance. The former is an important genre for Thai films to enter the international market, and the latter is the launch of the new wave of Thai films. The main genre of action and martial arts movies is based on Sahamongkol Film International, the production company of "Boxing Fighter", as the main distribution film company, while GTH is less focused on.
What about comedy movies?It can be said that comedy elements are ubiquitous in Thai movies.Even the horror and thriller genre of Thai movies can be interspersed with many comedy sections. Action martial arts can also contain comedy elements, not to mention the youth romantic genre.In addition, in terms of inspirational and touching movies, there have been many excellent lines in recent years. GTH released "Seaweed Billionaire" in 2011, which describes the success story of Thailand’s little boss, Seaweed. It is a recent classic movie with comedy elements. The same is indispensable.
In summary, the main types of Thai movies can be roughly divided into four plus one, namely action martial arts, horror thriller, youthful romance, inspirational and moving four categories, plus the ubiquitous comedy type.In addition, the Thai government has recently focused on the cultivation of film animation and special effects, including measures such as talent cultivation and tax concessions. Many Thai film workers have long been immersed in the cultivation of film technology. It is believed that computer animation films will gradually emerge in the future. Come on.
For viewers who want to start contacting and enjoying Thai movies, it is an easier way to get started by first looking for movies released by GTH.After all, GTH can be said to be an important force in assisting Thai films to open the door to the international market. The content and taste of the film are more acceptable to the international market, and the types of youth romance and horror and thriller films that it is good at are relatively free of cultural barriers.
