For the three countries in East Asia in the wave of Western colonialism, the emerging reform monarchs in the Western world generally use the attitude of admiration and admiration, which is the main reason why a polygamous love story of a Siamese king will make the West very cold. You must know that although King Menggu has been a monk from the age of 20-47, and his Buddhist teachings are so advanced that he became the crown prince, he married 32 wives and gave birth to 82 children after he returned to the throne. What a strange existence. On this issue, the film deliberately depicts the relationship between Meng Gu and the children, the father, kindness and filial piety, especially the creation of a super cute but young princess Faying, which is impressive.
Of course, the most important king of Siam to reform and maintain independence is actually the eldest prince Chulalongkorn in the film. Anna claimed that the spiritual seeds of her reform were sown in her education 40 years later, especially with Uncle Tom. The hut, which Chulalongkorn sees in the book, was the root cause of Siam's later abolition of slavery, which is also specifically described in the film.
The first thing that aroused me and many people curious about this film was that the MV "At Least You" that was widely circulated on the Internet used the footage of the film, but after checking it, it seems that the two are not related.
In order to complete a climax, the film made up a rebel plot. The big boss killed the deputy king, moved the tiger away from the mountain, and sent the Bangkok army to Myanmar. After that, the king and his family had nowhere to go. Meng Gu had to lead three dead soldiers and guards on a bridge. An empty city plan was staged. At this moment, Meng Gu suddenly turned into a pony brother, with a little cigar and a big show. In the end, the British army's illustrious name scared the rebels into disappearance through an attack... So it seems that this film The most successful part is actually that the actors chosen for the male and female protagonists are too cunning, and the stalwart of Fa Ge and the agility of Jodie Foster shine brightly.
