"A moern twist to a classic story"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I was shocked to read that this was a true story. I enjoyed watching this as did my children though felt it was rather different from the king and I the original story. I have added it to my library simply for the classical value of such a film. Jodie foster plays a very compelling part and it is good to see chow Yum fat out of a martial arts role.

Description

Academy Award winner Jodie Foster and international action star Chow Yun-Fat star in this epic true story of a woman who challenged the heart of a king and inspired the destiny of a nation.

English schoolteacher Anna Leonowens has traveled to Siam to educate the fifty-eight children of King Mongkut. If she has preconceived notions about the East, the King has similar notions about the West. But amid the danger of growing political unrest, their respect for each other slowly turns into something more.
