Because I just came back from a trip in Thailand, I was brainwashed by the photos of King Thai all over the street. I was very interested in Thai history for a while, and suddenly remembered something. A few years ago there was a red film "Anna and the King", and an earlier musical "The King and I", which took a certain king of modern Thailand as the protagonist and was harmonized by the Thai government because it was considered to be inconsistent with the facts. So hurriedly looked for it.
After busy working for a whole afternoon, I didn’t download it successfully. Finally I watched it on pps. The picture quality was average, but I was still horrified by the phone. Generally speaking, the movie is very general, and the plot is only three stars, but the hero and the heroine are great, and the depiction of the customs of modern Thailand is also very attractive (though perhaps not so in line with the facts), so weigh it and give it more. One star.
First of all, let me talk about the plot. Although it is an American movie, it has the feeling of a British movie. The rhythm is very slow. It is very suitable for this kind of literary and artistic romance. stand up. And the biggest problem is that the whole film is too Marie Su, full of Western superiority, and exhausted all the plots to show "When Anna comes, the people will become civilized, when Anna comes, the country will progress, Anna comes, the king There is love". Fortunately, the performance of several Asian actors is very impressive, especially the general who told the story of King Cheng to the British. I think he is very temperamental. He is already a modern Thai with thought, culture and insight. . And the portrayal of the Thai court, not to mention the Thais, I and the Chinese look very fake, too presumptuous and too Western, no matter how much the king loves his little daughter, he won’t be hugged and kissed by the predecessors! We Asians are very reserved, OK? ! ! And packing up my concubines and sitting with British men, I think...impossible, right? ! ! ! ! On behalf of myself, I feel that the series of descriptions about the palace are a bit out of style, but Westerners think it is quite romantic and exotic. Banned deserved it.
Next, I will talk about the performance of the actors. I personally think that all of them are shining. Fa Ge and Judy Foster are especially shining like the sun and the moon. Fa Ge is very royal in every move, elegant, majestic, and sensual. Without sacrificing sexiness, the Thai monarch, who is at the forefront of changes in the times, is a very three-dimensional model of the link between Rama IV, the Thai monarch. As the movie said, he is sometimes a god and sometimes a man, but he has always been the king of Thailand. The father of the people. It's a pity that I think the plot to show the king's talent is very weak, but when I stop there, I will make you feel that it is still necessary to shape, this personality charm is readily available! Especially when he stared at Anna, the expression was too pinched...I can't describe it, anyway, the performance is too good, as I said before, the sun is radiant and unforgettable. Judy Foster is the quiet moonlight. Although the plot is Marie Su and the character Marie Su, she does not feel annoying at all for her performance. She shows Anna's strength and fragility, anger and pain in great detail, especially for love. The performance, the estrangement but the reason, the restrained feelings are fully stretched on the strings, but they are not sent, and people also deeply feel the faint but scorching love. Very good, both actors have full marks! The remaining main actor, Rama V when he was a child is already very temperamental, domineering and educated. Little Malfoy is very cute~ Braun... It still looks so weird, but the acting is pretty good...
Finally, I think that this movie can be ranked among the classics and good movies no matter how hard it is, it's a pity.
