I rented this flick on VHS just for something for my wife and myself to do on a rainy day and it wasn't a bad film. This was a compelling true (yet slightly tainted by Hollywood) account of Anna Leonowens as a teacher that tutors the children of the King of Siam.
It was a romantic movie that made the viewer have the same emotions as those that played in it. The movie takes the viewer through the new life of the culture shocked Anna in the land of Siam. Anna, along with her son Louis (Tom Felton), goes through extremes of joy, sadness, and anger as they learn the ways of Siam. Anna also deals with the death of her husband and how his memory and likeness is seen through the King.
Meanwhile the British act innocently while behind the King they assist the Burmese in the on slot of attacks of the Siamese. This movie is unlike any other I have viewed so I can't compare it to any. There is plenty of action, tribulation, and romance so it is good for guys or gals.
