A wonderful film

This is a great film with different cultures that manage to accept each other..... just love watching it

Good purchase

This was a good purchase. I wanted to see it to compare to the King and I. I like it. High quality it came in a reasonable time span.

excellent film, a must see!

I love this movie! It is beautifully filmed and generally well-acted. The story portrays the cultural and philosophical differences and subsequent personal growth of the characters without being "preachy". It is easily as good as any Jane Austen remake and has better storylines and incredible scenery. The role of king is brilliantly portrayed by Chow Yun Fat and shows the deep and thoughtful wisdom of this leader. Great movie.

Special Edition is NOT widescreen

I purchased a new copy of the 'Special Edition' of "Anna and the King" which was listed as being widescreen in the product description of this web site--and it is actually full-screen! The back cover of the case lists the DVD as being anamorphic widescreen and there is no way of choosing full-screen vs widescreen in the menu--so buyer beware. Perhaps it was just my copy that was in error. Has anyone else had this problem?
