Plot: The true story of Anna Leonowens' experiences as a governess to the children of an eccentric Asian king has been adapted into a book of memoirs, a biography, a stage play called Anna and the King of Siam -- which was adapted into a 1946 film, a stage musical called {+The King and I} -- made into both the live-action The King and I (1956)) and the animated The King and I (1999) feature films, and a short-lived 1972 TV series. Now the story is brought to the screen yet again, as Jodie Foster stars as Leonowens, hired by the king of Thailand (Chow Yun-Fat) in the 19th century to help care for his children. The king wants the best for his children, but Anna soon discovers that he is a strong-willed but quixotic leader, and her stay in Thailand becomes a struggle for power with romantic overtones, as they decide who will have authority over the royal youngsters. Anna and the King was directed by Andy Tennant, best known for his 1998 variation on the Cinderella story, Ever After. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Great Movie
Added 2/12/2009

I have watched this movie many times. As i have lived in Thailand for several years now, i can see the "recreations" of the Royal Palace as well as many other places in Thailand are breath taking. I would use the "subtitles" if you are wathiching it with anyone who is Thai. My wife is Thai and as she watched it, she commented many times that the 90% Chinese Actors who are in the movie "acting" as Thai and trying to speak the language is MAYBE 50% at best. Other than the language problem and the obvious "holywood" spin, it is a VERY good and positive movie of the events of King Rama the 4th and the problems between Thailand and the Burmese/British/French ( research your history) in the time period in the DVD. That said, i still watch it when i can. It is a great movie. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to have an inside too Thailand during that historical time.
