Watching a good movie always likes to see different versions of it, and the Anna and the King of Fago's version like it very much. So when I saw this movie, I watched it too. Very interesting! Look at Thailand in that era, the style of that...

Brynner is actually quite cute, and because of the short forehead, there is no need to grow hair [Sweat... The Siamese version of the hut is completely super changeable, and the song is too...

If you guessed correctly, it is the earliest movie version of "Anna and the King". It's actually a musical. I didn't want to watch it. Originally, I just wanted to see the bald-headed actor (the real and fake princesses are so handsome), fast-forward n times, and watched the Siam folk dance, which is really good. I really have no interest in the story, because I really don't have the leisure to appreciate it, and in the end, the king played by Yul died, but the scene is gorgeous and the...

1950s Hollywood musicals can really be boring for so long!

The Siamese version of the stage play "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is already worth three stars, (although I have fast-forwarded most of the other songs) The Bald King was awkward at first, but it became more pleasing to the eye afterward. Musical short story, but the interaction between him and Anna is more engaging than Fage and Judy, because one of the two plays is emotional and the other is closed. There is a big difference between the two dances. , personal three-star, although gave the king a...

3.5 The two songs and dances in the geography class and the drama are all great. I give 10,000 points to the schedule, but the teacher Anna's character is completely lacking in the king's strong emotional drama, and it's inexplicable. What is the ending of the Burmese princess? And then...

Rather than a stereotyped Western vision of the East, it is better to admit that it is a stage-style performance and characterization. The ridiculous thoughts and behaviors of the king are themselves phenomena that exist objectively. As a king trying to embrace Western civilization, there is a kind of naive ignorance and arrogance, which is why he is able to attract female protagonists who disagree with his...

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,...

Creative "Uncle Tom's Cabin"
Obviously because of the age, the whole movie set looks a bit crude, but this does not affect the amazing creativity in the movie.
"Uncle Tom's Cabin", a tragedy, how would you perform it?
In the film, a Thai-style interpretation, so simple, so graceful and light... I
didn't expect that there could...

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.
