The Story Of The Ramones
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers.

Plot The Burmese army is seeking to invade Ayutthaya to block the invasion in Bang Rachan. The forces are at first led by Nai Taen, who is injured in an early battle.

Après La Vie
''Après la vie'' (After the Life; also known in UK as Trilogy: Three) is a 2002 Lucas Belvaux film with his own script. It is the final installment of a series ''Trilogy'', which constitutes a melodrama preceded by ''Un couple épatant'', a comedy and ''Cavale'', a thriller. Belvaux referred in the DVD commentary that main idea behind ''Trilogy'' is that the main characters in a particular story are the secondary characters of others, in such sense the three films happen at the same time and share a series of common scenes and plot points, complementing each other, but also have their own perspective and style. The audience is left with piecing the films together, which Belvaux avoided, since editing the three films into one single narrative would have resulted in a very long film with no style of its own. Cast Plot Police Inspector Pascal Manise walks into a bar where he gets morphine from Freddy, a former dealer of Jacquillat, a drug lord. A phone call interrupts the con ...
