This film is adapted from the true story of Aung San Suu Kyi, the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize winner. When Aung San Suu Kyi (played by Michelle Yeoh) was three years old, her father was assassinated on July 19, 1947 for leading the Burmese Independence Army. After growing up, Suu Kyi left her hometown to study at Oxford University in the UK, where she met her husband Mike Aris (played by David Thewlis), gave birth to two children, and lived a happy and comfortable life. One night in 1988, Suu Kyi received a call from Myanmar and learned that her mother had a stroke and was hospitalized. This forced her to set foot on her homeland again after many years and face sad memories. At that time, it happened to be the time for the change of regime in Myanmar, and many people took to the streets to march. Suu Kyi witnessed local soldiers shooting at protesting students in the hospital, causing many casualties. This awakened her desire for a democratic regime. Many retired officers and rebels who knew Suu Kyi's father invited her to lead the democratic movement, and she decided to inherit her father's mantle and complete his unfinished business. In August of the same year, Suu Kyi gave her first speech in front of a rally of nearly one million people in Yangon. Later, she founded her own political party and won the general election that year, but the military government cancelled the results of the vote and coerced Suu Kyi's family by force. The film is based on the life of Aung San Suu Kyi. She was born in Yangon, Myanmar, and is a politician who advocates democracy in Myanmar without violence. In 1990, she led the National League for Democracy to win the general election, but the election results were annulled by the military government. In the following 21 years, she was intermittently placed under house arrest by the military government in her residence for 15 years, and was finally released on November 13, 2010. The film was mainly shot in Thailand. Luc Besson said that before deciding to shoot this film, he had read many articles about Aung San Suu Kyi, but he was moved after reading the script and decided to shoot the film. I think her story should be spread. I mean she is a Gandhian woman who has fought for democracy unarmed for 30 years, and her only weapons are her words and speeches. When asked how Luc Besson felt when Aung San Suu Kyi was released last December, he said: "It was a surprise for me because I thought she would never be released, which is why we made this film." Michelle Yeoh and British actor David Thewlis play Aung San Suu Kyi and her husband Aris in the film respectively. Andy Harris, who produced "The Queen", served as the producer of this film, and the script was written by Harris' wife Rebecca Frayn. Harris said that the idea of filming "Aung San Suu Kyi" can be traced back to the early 1990s when he and his wife traveled to Myanmar. At that time, Aung San Suu Kyi won the Myanmar general election in May 1990, but she was placed under house arrest by the military government. Harris said that although the beautiful scenery of Myanmar impressed him, it also formed a sharp contrast with the humility, poverty and sadness of the locals. As a foreigner, he could not even travel casually at that time, and people were afraid to talk to them. These left a deep impression on him. Aung San Suu Kyi is a non-violent politician who advocates democracy in Myanmar and a Nobel Peace Prize winner in 1991. She is now 65 years old. In 1989, she was placed under house arrest by the Burmese military government on charges of endangering the state. In 1990, under her leadership, the National League for Democracy won the general election, which was subsequently rejected by the military government. In the past 21 years, she has spent 15 years under house arrest, and was not released until November 13 this year. After 2000, U2's album All That You Cant Leave Behind was banned in Myanmar because one of the songs, Walk On, was dedicated to Aung San Suu Kyi. Behind the scenes British documentary director Rebecca Frayn began planning a film about Aung San Suu Kyi as early as the 1990s, when she and her husband Andy Harris, a producer, had just returned from a tour of Myanmar. In order to more fully outline Suu Kyi's character, Rebecca interviewed many of Suu Kyi's friends and people she had worked with, and most of her script was based on the materials provided by these people. Harris's Left Bank Films began developing a screenplay about Suu Kyi titled "The Freedom of Fear" in 2008. He personally hopes Yang
