6. Special Interview 11:03 (a. Nonzee Nimibutr, b. Ek Lam-chuen)
Special mention must be put on the interesting Unseen Baytong section. Actually, it is not what one would think of as the
NG scenes or the edited scenes. Rather, the Unseen part contains only a newly shot poster depicting Maria as one Muslim girl
with a black head veil and she and Tham is depicted as indirectly holding hands with only a teddy bear separating them apart
(or, keeping them part).
The way the poster is kept in the Unseen section clearly shows the concern of Thai censored authorities not to infuriate local
Muslims when the movie clearly portrays Maria as a Muslim. Any sight of her wearing a Muslim veil while holding hands with a
Buddhist monk becomes unbearable. Frustrating though it may seem when Nonzee is aimed at shooting a movie that advocates
ethnic and religious harmony in Thailand, the poster design in a way demonstrates the inherent difficulties therein.
