Very artistically expressive, beautiful and infectious. The storyline is also compact and reasonably attractive. A very good film. It is this kind of symbolic film, the characters are very rough, and this kind of "historical film" made by Westerners will one-sidedly exaggerate a lot of things, such as Western civilization, Eastern barbarism, etc., and the pattern is...

The story line is too classic, and the structure is too neat and delicate: the main and secondary lines are narrated in parallel, and the emotions of the characters are gradually brewing; Uncle Tom's cabin +shall we dance is a double climax of drama and emotion: the intertwining point of the narrative double lines, the emotional prosperity turns to the sad place . And this kind of emotional drama that is erotic, only polite, and never speaks out, I like it so much! (PS The dwarfing of Asia from...

The Japanese movie "Talk About Love, Dance and Dance" → "Shall We Dance?" The music sounded. -Tamako-sensei: Ah, this is the song. Do you know the movie "The King and I"? - Sugiyama: Ah, there is a bald actor. -It's Yoo Brynner. Honestly, I just started learning social dancing after watching this movie. I still get excited when I hear this song! Come, the king holds Deborah Kerr's hand like this. One two three, one two...

What a desperate musical. After the doting of concept musicals, I am a little tired of such classic book musicals. I feel that the characters are not too full, the plot is very thin, and the songs are very scattered, but after all, this is also a milestone work, it should not be based on the current standard go and see. It's enough to have the classic Shall we dance and the lead getting to know...

I watched this movie just by chance. It's an interesting movie with different cultures from different countries that time. I'm interested in watching it as I saw there're Yul Brynner and Deborah Kerr. In this movie, Yul Brynner was acting the king, who had strong dignity and culture consciousness. His behavior was interesting and even funny from the eyes of people nowadays. I like his another movie, shooted in the same year with Ingrid Bergman,
. He's handsome and charming in that...

From homeless to Hollywood star
Every time I see Putin on TV, I think of Yul Brynner (1920-1985), a dead Hollywood actor. This complex bald movie star is famous. Just mentioning his starring "The King and Me", "True and False Princess" and "Seven Warriors" is enough to amuse fans. Working with such beauties as Deborah Kerr and...

Good movie, watch it often
During the long journey from Australia to Stockholm with my husband, I found this film on the plane. I thought that "Anna and the King" only had Chow Yun-fat's version, but it turned out that this was the earliest. The quality of the film and the dress can tell that this is a long-term production,...

King Mongkut of Siam: You think you teach King lesson, but this is one lesson you do not be paid for teaching. In the future, you will stop instructing wives and children in silly English song "Home Sweet House". To remind me of breaking promises I never make, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Anna Leonowens: Your majesty, I do not intend to have my boy brought up in a harem, and you did promise me a house; "a brick residence adjoining the palace," those were your very words in the letter.
King Mongkut of Siam: [obviously does remember] I do not remember such words.
Anna Leonowens: I remember them.
King Mongkut of Siam: I will do remembering. Who is king here? I remind you, so you remember that? I do not remember any promises. I do not remember anything, except that you are my servant.
Anna Leonowens: Oh, no, your majesty.
King Mongkut of Siam: What, what, what? I said you are my servant.
Anna Leonowens: No, your majesty, that is not true. I am most certainly not your servant, and what is more, if you do not give me the house you promised, I shall be forced to return to England immediately.
[children protest]
Princess Ying Yaawolak: I believe in snow!
Lady Thiang: Do not let her go away.
King Mongkut of Siam: I let her do nothing that is not my pleasure. It is my pleasure that you stay here, in palace, in palace!
Anna Leonowens: No, your majesty.
King Mongkut of Siam: [heavy sigh] Why do you wish to leave these children, all of whom are loving you so extraordinarily?
Anna Leonowens: I do not wish to leave them. I love them, too, quite extraordinarily, but I cannot stay in a country where a promise has no meaning.
King Mongkut of Siam: I will hear no more about this promise!
Anna Leonowens: A land where there is talk of honor and a wish for Siam to take its place among the modern nations of the world, where there is talk of great changes, but where everything still remains according to the wishes of the king.
King Mongkut of Siam: You will say no more! No more!
Anna Leonowens: I will say no more, because there is no more to say. Come, Louis.
[Anna and Louis leave. Children protesting]
Anna Leonowens: Out, out, out!
[everyone, except the King, leaves]

Anna Leonowens: In your house she's just another woman. Like a bowl of rice is a bowl of rice no different from any other bowl of rice.
King Mongkut of Siam: Now you understand about women! So, many English books talk about love et cetera, et cetera, et cetera! Ha!
Anna Leonowens: You disapprove?
King Mongkut of Siam: It is a silly complication of a general simplicity. A woman is designed for pleasing man that is all. A man is deigned to be pleased by many women
Anna Leonowens: Then how do you explain, your majesty, that many men remain faithful to one wife?
King Mongkut of Siam: They are sick.
Anna Leonowens: Oh, but you do expect women to be faithful?
King Mongkut of Siam: Naturally!
Anna Leonowens: Well why naturally?
King Mongkut of Siam: Because it is natural. It is like old Siamese saying. A girl is like a blossom, with honey for just one man. A man is like a honey bee and gather all he can. To fly from blossom to blossom a honey must be free. But blossom must not ever fly from bee to bee to bee.
Anna Leonowens: [giggling] Oh, your majesty in England we have a far different attitude. We believe for a man to be truly happy he must love one woman and one woman only.
King Mongkut of Siam: This idea was invented by woman.
Anna Leonowens: Oh but it's a great idea your majesty and in England we're brought up with it. When your young and at your first dance.
King Mongkut of Siam: Young girl? They dance also. Like I see you in arms of stranger tonight not a husband.
Anna Leonowens: Why of course!
King Mongkut of Siam: I would not permit it.
Anna Leonowens: Ha. When you're young and at your first dance, and you're sitting on a small gilt chair with your eyes lowered, terrified that you'll be a wall flower, suddenly, you see two black shoes, a white waist coat, a face, it speaks.
