"Anna and the King" is a non-singing and dancing version of "The King and I". The film director tried to make this film based on a true story more faithful to the history. The overall filming technique of the film is luxurious and magnificent, with gorgeous costumes. The magnificent scenes, large-scale sets and scenes, present a story full of exotic flavors and multiculturalism. However, the director’s boring approach could not resonate with the audience. Although the film retains some entertainment features such as the old version of "The King and I" Waltz Ball, the film’s entertainment and art balance is not well grasped, and some are both unpleasant.
In the film, King Mongkong is portrayed as a kind and romantic Thai emperor. Chow Yun Fat's performance is widely acclaimed. Jodie Foster also has a special liking for his Anna. "Anna and the King" is a story that can combine artistic style and entertainment.
