Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Anna and the King is a 1999 adaptation of the 1944 novel Anna And The King Of Siam, a fictionalized account of Anna Leonowens' articles (pretty fictionalized themselves) of her time in Siam. It has elements of both the 1946 non-musical film with Irene Dunne and Rex Harrison, and the Rogers and Hammerstein musical. The film starred Jodie Foster as Anna, Chow Yun-fat as the King, and Tom Felton as Louis Leonowens.Anna Leonowens is a young, British widow in the 1860s who moves to Siam to serve as tutor to the king's fifty-eight children. The king hopes to raise his heirs with a sense of globalism and a knowledge of the modern world outside of Siam. Anna struggles to balance teaching modern world views while respecting Siamese tradition.See also: The King and I.

Adult Fear: King's favorite daughter falling ill and dying, which really did happen although Anna says she actually arrived too late to say goodbye. The King trying to protect his children from being slaughtered. Which didn't happen.

All Asians Know Martial Arts: There's a brief scene showing Mongkut doing tai chi. The real Mongkut served 27 years as a Buddhist monk, not a warrior.note The 1946 film got this right. One of the posters for the film also has a martial arts look.

comment
Culture Clash: Anna is addressed as 'Sir' at the court because women are not spoken to by the high officials. The real-life reason for Anna's being addressed as "sir" is much simpler: "sir" and "madam" are the same word, khun, in Thai.
