When they discussed the film the actress got the feeling she was still on the film set because Luc Besson had recreated the house so accurately. She would say later it had been like visiting a dear family member.
SYNERGY OF SERRA RELEASE DATE TV
Luc Besson hesitated to believe what he saw on TV because it looked so much like his recent footage. ĭuring the shooting of the film, news broke that Aung San Suu Kyi's house arrest had been lifted. Besson accepted the script immediately as an opportunity for him to finally present a real life heroine, a female fighter who wields no other weapons than her human virtues. Her husband Jean Todt (who later on also accompanied the project as accredited producer) encouraged her to contact his country fellowman and friend Luc Besson. The script was as British as its origin, telling the story solely from Michael Aris' perspective but Michelle Yeoh claimed she brought an Asian insight to it. The actress was thrilled because she had always wanted to play Suu Kyi. Harries wanted Michelle Yeoh as the lead and had the script sent to her. Harries' production company Left Bank Pictures began development of the script in 2008. Rebecca Frayn began working on the project after she and her husband, producer Andy Harries had visited Burma in the early 1990s.
She and her family were separated when her husband and children were banned from Burma and she was put under a house arrest for more than a decade. However, the Burmese military refused to accept the result of the election and moved to bring Suu Kyi under control. Suu Kyi founded a political party and clearly won the 1990 elections. She then accepted the role of icon in support of self-determination by the Burmese people and devoted herself to activities in support of goals of greater political freedoms. She realises that political change is needed in Burma and is soon drawn into the movement to promote reform. When she visited her mother in the hospital in 1988, she met many of the people who were wounded during the Tatmadaw's crackdown in the 8888 Uprising. But in 1988 her mother's poor health forced her to return to Burma where her father, Aung San, was still widely remembered. Īs an adult Suu Kyi went to England, found a loving husband, and had a happy family life. But soon afterwards, on 19 July 1947, he, along with a group of his colleagues, was assassinated by a group of armed men in uniform. In 1947, when Aung San Suu Kyi was two years old, her father Aung San led Burma to independence. Yeoh called the film "a labour of love" but also confessed it had felt intimidating for her to play the Nobel laureate. The Lady is a 2011 British biographical film directed by Luc Besson, starring Michelle Yeoh as Aung San Suu Kyi and David Thewlis as her late husband Michael Aris.
