best actor

Brynner won the Oscar for best actor in this film, although in my opinion, the appearance in this is really not as handsome as "True and False". And it was changed according to the stage play, so a lot of stage styles were retained, which seemed exaggerated. The young actors acted especially fake, and their faces were probably sour with laughter.
But that doesn't stop me from admiring this handsome bald guy. I really didn't expect him to be such a cute and innocent king, smiling proudly like a big kid.
For screenwriters and artists, don't ask for it, it is Siam in the eyes of Westerners, they don't understand the East at all.

The King and I quotes

  • Kralahome: [to Anna] Why are you so blind; have you no eyes to see? King tries impossible task - wishing to be scientific man who know all modern things... He will only tear himself in two, trying to be something he can never be!

    Anna Leonowens: Of course he can never be, if those who are closest to him are unwilling to help him!

    Kralahome: You do not know King as well as you think you do. You believe you have great influence over him. You will end up as his slave-like all the others!

  • One of the King's wives: [Sees the bearded Ambassador] Oh! He has the head of a goat!

    [Sir John Hay holds up spying glass]

    Wives: Evil eye! Evil eye!

    [flee from the room in terror]
