This is the director's way of critiquing the Thai elites and at the same time rescuing them as crimes are committed by someone outside Thailand. Papo, who is presented as cruel and black-hearted, is not even a Thai. What most audience fail to realize is the devious way this is done. The result is pure disaster, and the total collapse of an old order. She pushes, forces, and influences the breaking of ranks, as she is incapable of stopping herself from doing so. Yupadee, knowingly or not, represents an accelerating force of change in any society. Between these two men, there is this young, beautiful, lustful, but well-educated, Madame Yupadee playing a dangerous game of forbidden romance with her husband's beloved nephew, who is almost a son to him. The wealthy Papo represents power and control of the past, while his well-read nephew is all for knowledge and modernity. The film director, a descendant of Thailand's royal family himself, tries to point out the decaying and disgust of 'the room upstairs'. This is a critique to Thailand's class divide. Now, what is hidden as a political agenda indeed deepens. An adorable nephew lost himself in a blind love of his uncle's new and young wife, and received a brutal and inhuman punishment that eventually drives him insane.

This is a story of love, lust, and betrayal to the extreme. As a hidden political manifesto, this film is as shameless and self-righteous as those in Thailand who resist democratic changes at the point of destroying it today. As a film, I found 'Eternity', or 'Chuafa Dinsalai', to be a good piece of storytelling, with several angles to praise.
