The Lady (2011 film)

In 1947, a young Aung San Suu Kyi spends time with her father Aung San, who led Burma to independence. Soon afterwards, he, along with a group of colleagues, is assassinated by armed men in uniform.{{cite web|url= http://gulfnews.com/arts-entertainment/celebrity/a-journey-of-self-realisation-1.967168|title= A journey of self-realisation|date= 20 January 2012|access-date=24 January 2012}}

In 1988, Aung San Suu Kyi, now happily married with family in England, returns to Burma to see her ill mother, finding that her father is still widely remembered. Upon visiting her mother in hospital, she meets injured patients from the Tatmadaw's crackdown in the 8888 Uprising. She realises that political change is needed in Burma and is drawn into the reform movement.{{cite news|url= https://www.theguardian.com/film/2012/jan/12/the-lady-aung-san-suu-kyi |title= This portrait of a Lady gets its perspectives wrong|access-date=16 January 2011 | location=London|work=The Guardian}} She then accepts the role of icon in support of democracy by the Burmese people and devotes herself to activities in support of greater political freedoms.{{Cite news|url= https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/reviews/the-lady-luc-besson-127-mins-6283209.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220618/https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/reviews/the-lady-luc-besson-127-mins-6283209.html |archive-date=18 June 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |title= The Lady, Luc Besson, 127 mins|access-date=28 January 2011 | location=London|work=The Independent|first=Nicholas |last= Barber}}

Aung San Suu Kyi establishes the National League for Democracy and wins the 1990 elections. However, the Burmese military refuses to accept the results and moves to rein in Aung San Suu Kyi. She and her family are separated when her husband and children were banned from Burma and she is put under a house arrest for more than a decade.{{cite web|url= http://twitchfilm.com/news/2010/12/first-images-of-michelle-yeoh-in-luc-bessons-the-lady.php|title= First Images of Michelle Yeoh in Luc Besson's THE LADY|access-date= 23 May 2011|url-status= dead|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20110601095803/http://twitchfilm.com/news/2010/12/first-images-of-michelle-yeoh-in-luc-bessons-the-lady.php|archive-date= 1 June 2011|df= dmy-all}} Her husband Michael Aris keeps up a relentless struggle for Aung San Suu Kyi's recognition outside Burma. Due to their efforts, she receives the Nobel Peace Prize. As Aung San Suu Kyi cannot attend the ceremony, her family accepts the prize on her behalf. The military later offers Aung San Suu Kyi a chance to see her dying husband but she refuses, knowing that she will not be allowed to return to Burma. After grieving her husband's death, she continues her political work, appearing to supporters from behind her gate while still under house arrest.

To achieve authenticity Luc Besson engaged many Burmese actors and extras.

Co-producer Andy Harries concentrated on substantiating the British part of his wife's script. He achieved authenticity of the happy time in Suu Kyi's life, when she lived with her family in the United Kingdom. Their flat was also recreated on a sound stage, although the film includes scenes shot on location in front of the house itself.{{Cite news|url= https://www.variety.com/article/VR1118047940?refcatid=13 |title= Realistic, exotic look for 'Lady'|access-date=1 May 2012 | work=Variety| first=Andrew| last=Clarke| date=5 January 2012}} The scenes showing Michael Aris as a dying cancer patient were also shot on location in the actual hospital.{{Cite news|url= https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/movies/portrait-of-a-lady-20120407-1whjq.html |title=Portrait of a lady|access-date=23 April 2012 | work=Los Angeles Times|first=Ed|last=Gibbs}}

The film received mixed reviews, generally negative in the west, but stronger in the east. English critics often appreciated the efforts of the leading actress, Michelle Yeoh, and the performance of English actor David Thewlis while criticising director/producer Luc Besson. American critics joined the criticism of Luc Besson. In Asia, the reception was more positive.

• Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports an approval rating of 36% based on 72 reviews, with an average score of 5.16/10. The critical consensus reads, "Even as The Lady focuses on Aung San Suu Kyi's romantic life parallel to her political ascendancy, Luc Besson's saccharine direction is too concerned with deifying the Nobel Prize-winner for her humanity to actually shine through."{{cite web |url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_lady_2011/ |title=The Lady |access-date=20 May 2020 |publisher=Rotten Tomatoes}}
