Anna and the King

I saw this movie too many times before this. I saw in movie version and cartoon version. But, today I felt very impressed watching this movie. This was my first to watch this version. Anna and the King is such a great story for me. It discovered a story between Anna, an English women and the egois King of Siam. Generally, it tells us about the connection between two person with different countries, culture, custom, belief and lifestyle.

For me, this story gives a lot of moral values. Anna, who has high self-esteem make a decision to be a teacher for the children's King. She is dare and not afraid to give her opinion to the King, eventhough anyone is not afraid to do so. She believe in her self that no matter happen, she will not afraid to anyone as long as she is doing the right thing. Although she just know the King in a short time, she is willing to help him when the King faces with the big problem. She gives everyone a new dimension of life. She is kind with everyone and looks likes a sosial butterfly, who is enjoy and being able to mingle with averyone from all walks of life. She also gives her respect to the King and follow the Siam custom, eventhough she is not like it.

The interesting part is about the King. I think, he make me very impressed with his acting. He can be very fierce, sometimes funny and sometimes childish. He make me laugh and not felt boring while watching this movie. Actully, it is not easy to be a King of a big kingdom like Siam. A King must be a perfect person. Although he doesn't know something, he must act like he knows everything. A lot of things must be consider. At first, he is a stubborn an egois. But, a brave Anna had changed him. He doesn't wants to listen to anybody and thinks he is always right all the time. But, one thing that I like about this King is his spirit and his determine to be a better person. He wants to change his country, his family and himself as well. He realize that literacy can make his dream become reality. He wants to get ahead as the best King in the world. He is ready to accept and addapt the new thing in his daily life.
