I watched “The Lady” recently, and apart from having this in my laptop folder of “Based on true stories” this has also become one of the best movies I have ever watched. I remember watching it thrice by now.
The lady is a movie about the Burmese opposition leader, by Luc Besson, starring the beautiful Michelle Yeoh, who stands in the shoes of another beautiful woman, Aung San Suu kyi.

Aung San Suu Kyi is the head of the National League for Democracy of Myanmar. She stayed under house arrest for almost two decades fighting for her people. She is also a Noble Peace Prize laureate of 1991. Although, on given a chance to go back to her husband to England, she decides to stay back fighting for the rights, in a calm way. Aung San Suu Kyi is considered a Burmese democracy icon and she is one of the strongest living voices for freedom and justice in the world.
This movie also tells us a love story of this woman with her love, Dr. Michael Aris along with her love for her country.
Michelle Yeoh, perfectly fits into it and makes a movie a credible one. Indeed, I have grown full respect for this Asian laureate after seeing her through Yeoh.
Yeoh is a Malaysian, and an actress who has skills on martial arts as well.
The lady is a movie that teaches one a lot. I have learnt a lot as well. see if you must!
