             In the film, The Lady, is based on true historical events that happen in Burma. Aung San Suu Kyi fights for the democracy in Burma. And, Suu Kyi is viewed as a Burmese democracy representative and she is one of the strongest living voices for freedom and justice in the world. Suu Kyi is unjustly imprisoned by the government of Burma because they feel threaten by Suu Kyi and her democratic views. And, Suu Kyi is under house arrest for fifth teen years because the government wants to isolate Suu Kyi from the outside world and force to choose between her family and her country. Suu Kyi is constantly struggling internally and externally because of the whole situation she is in. If Suu Kyi leaves Burma then she will never be able to return and fight for the people. But if Suu Kyi stays in Burma then she might not see her family again. The Lady is an excellent movie to watch for many reasons.
             The first reason is because the movie depicts accurately the series of events that happened to Suu Kyi when she fought for democracy in Burma. The purpose of this is film is to inform other people about what happen to Suu Kyi while she was fighting for her country politically. For example, "riots on the street of Rangoon," broke out because the military started to slaughter protesters who were rallying against the harsh rule of the dictator U Ne Win. Also the military started to kill people because they wanted to put pressure on Suu Kyi and make her leave the country. "If you do not leave more people will die." Instead of leaving Suu Kyi began to speak out against U Ne Win for the human rights and democracy of the people. This shows that the people who made this film did a lot of research to get the story right and that is important because the authenticity of Suu Kyi's story contributes to history. Suu Kyi's story is another example of how people can cause change. .
             Another reason why this film is a good movie to watch is because of the acting.
