Line 1: {{~~trope~~work}} [[File:annaking_7806.jpg\|frame]] ~~This~~'''''Anna and the King''''' is a combination of a non-musical, "serious" version of ''[[The King and I]]'' and a remake of the 1946 epic film ''Anna and the King'' starring Rex Harrison as King Mongkut and Irene Dunne as Anna, with Linda Darnell as Tuptim. Anna Leonowens is played by [[Jodie Foster]] and the King is played by [[Chow Yun ~~Fat (Creator)\|Chow Yun Fat~~-fat]]. Also features a pre-''[[Harry Potter (~~Film~~film)\|Harry Potter]]'' [[Tom Felton]] as Louis Leonowens. Incidentally, this movie came out the same year as the animated version of ''The King And I''. ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== This show features examples of: ===~~ * [[Award Bait Song]]: "How Can I Not Love You", performed by Joy Enriquez at the end over the credits. * [[Adult Fear]]: The King trying to protect his children from {{spoiler\|being slaughtered.}} * [[Arranged Marriage]]: the one between Tuptim and the King (and, presumably, between the King and his other wives). * [[Banned in China\|Banned In Thailand]]: ~~because~~Because of the film's ~~apparently blasphemous~~disrespectful portrayal of Thai royalty, and because it's [[Based on a Great Big Lie]]. * [[Bodyguard Betrayal]]. * [[The British Empire]]: described with a touch of [[White Man's Burden]]. Line 32 ⟶ 31: * [[Spoiled Sweet]]: the little princess. * [[Succession Crisis]]: attempted but happily prevented by the King. * [[Traumatic Haircut]]: Tiptum {{spoiler\|shaves her head to disguise herself as a Buddhist monk and be closer to her beloved}}. * [[Very Loosely Based on a True Story]]: The story is based on Anna's (real life) diaries. These in themselves are highly suspect, and many elements of them have been left out anyway. * [[You No Take Candle]]: This version still has educated Siamese talking this way.
