Movie Marquee - Rangoon
Movie Marquee - Rangoon - Went to see maha Penmai a legendary character derived from the ancient drama of Rama. Costumes like those of the gnats in pagodas. Episodic, over detailed action, no interest in photographic interest or artistry. Loud pwe type music, occasional spoken parts, all much too loud, so that I sat with fingers in ears. Date: 1952

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph captures the Movie Marquee in Rangoon, Myanmar (then known as Burma), advertising the screening of the Burmese film "Maha Penmai" in 1952. The movie was based on the ancient drama of Rama, featuring Maha Penmai, a legendary character revered in Burmese culture. The intricate costumes, reminiscent of those worn in pagodas, reflect the rich history and tradition of Burmese art. Despite the obvious interest in the cultural significance of the film, my personal experience of watching it was far from satisfying. The action was episodic and overly detailed, with little regard for photographic interest or artistic merit. The loud pwe type music and occasional spoken parts were overwhelming, leading me to cover my ears during parts of the film. The photograph serves as a reminder of the cinematic landscape of the 1950s in Burma, a time when films like "Maha Penmai" provided entertainment and cultural connection for audiences. The use of gnats as a metaphor in the description adds a layer of intrigue, suggesting the buzz of excitement and anticipation surrounding the release of the film. Overall, this photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when cinema was an integral part of daily life in Burma.
