Why Sairat worked at the box office

There is something about stories of young, innocent people who do not buy into the rules of society, who fall in love only to be confronted with reality. These stories tug at our heart. Young audiences love it because they are going through it in the present. The old love it because it reminds them of the innocence of their youth.
