So, "We Were Kings (Burma's Lost Royals)" is quite the documentary. It delves into a pivotal moment in history when the British invaded Burma, and the monarchy ended. The pacing is a bit reflective, allowing you to soak in the loss and significance of it all. You can feel the weight of a thousand years of royal history dissipating. The film has this somber atmosphere, punctuated by interviews that pull you into the royal family's trauma and resurgence. It’s not flashy, relying more on storytelling and archival footage rather than heavy effects. The themes of identity and resilience are woven throughout, making it a remarkable exploration of a forgotten chapter.
