This story tells about a girl named Aung San Suki, the daughter of the martyred Burmese general. San may return to her native country again to be a major political activist and democracy movement in Burma. The film tells the story of her life as well as her relationship with her husband, writer Michael Ares.
The Lady is little more than a history lesson - although a beautifully presented one - wrapped in the pink gloss of a G-rated potboiler evidenced in Suu Kyi's and Michael's storybook romance.
The dramatic moments are few and far between, and the film seems like it walks in the footsteps of Richard Attenborough's Gandhi at times. Besson definitely tries to present Suu Kyi in a similarly reverent light.
