I have decided to write about the foreign film called "Divines". It is about a girl named Madunia and her best friend named Maui. They are brought up in the violent and poor area in Thailand and turn to selling narcotics for a drug dealer to make money.

Just before she was about to leave, she called her friend Maui and told her she loved her and said she would be back. The drug dealer called Madunia and told her that Maui was captured and would be killed if she did not return with her money.
This was a scene so intense that it was as you were in the movie your self. As if you were Medunias when she saw her friend was captured and realizing she had little to no time. This truly was a amazing scene that would make any individual sweat
