10. Michelle Yeoh - The Lady (2011)

For their second Michelle Yeoh film, Jeff and Chase are diving into yet another biopic–this time, the complicated and harrowing story of Myanmar's former leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, in Luc Besson's The Lady (2011).

Michelle plays the political figure during her initial return to Burma as she becomes the leader of the National League of Democracy, fighting to bring democracy to a country under violent and strict military rule. Suu Kyi has a very complicated historical and modern story, currently serving a 27 year prison sentence as Myanmar has fallen back into military rule–now over 20 years since the story portrayed in The Lady.

Jeff and Chase get into all of this complicated history, as well as how they feel Yeoh embodies and portrays this complex and nuanced figure.
