King of Beggars (1992)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) Chow's comic touches get a little lost in the shuffle of spectacle, but this proves to be an advantage as the story remains the main attraction. She is still one of Chow's least interesting female co-stars, perhaps due to a lack of artificial deformity, a comic element Chow has taken to in his more recent films. Chow is in top form as he floors opponents and immediately follows with macho mugging to the audience. www.kungfucinema.com /reviews/kingofbeggars.htm   (1097 words)

The King and I: Fact or Fiction? King Mongkut was a deeply religious man and had spent most of his life in the monkhood. King Mongkut kept extensive diaries and in the years that Anna was there, he only mentioned her once and then only briefly. "Anna and the King" is an epic tale set in Thailand in the late 19th Century, and chronicles the true life adventures of British governess Anna Leonowens, who is hired by the King of Siam to educate his fifty-eight children. www.thaistudents.com /kingandi/index.html   (1498 words)

Anna and the King Commissioned by the king of Siam to tutor his first son in English, Anna soon finds herself the school teacher of his 50+ offspring. When the king slices her sympathetic encouragement with his terse line, "You are not qualified to criticize me about living!" he's referring to a side of Anna that this production fails to instill on us. Chow does all he can to maintain stage mediocrity when delivering any dialogue longer than a sentence. www.rossanthony.com /A/annking.shtml   (527 words)

Anna and the King: Special Edition (1999) Academy Award winner Jodie Foster and international action star Chow Yun-Fat bring to life the epic true story of a woman who challenged the heart of a king and inspired the destiny of a nation. We know it’s absolutely inevitable that Anna will end up with the King - he’s not about to give up his polygamist ways, and she certainly won’t decide that being one of many is hunky-dory - so the tension their relationship brings feels that much more strong. Chow was even better as he provided a wonderfully regal and powerful presence as the King but he also was able to depict the romantic and whimsical sides of the part. www.dvdmg.com /annaandtheking.shtml   (2017 words)

DVDFILE.COM: ANNA & THE KING review Viewers are advised to avoid any comparisons with Rodgers and Hammerstein's "The King and I" or the 1946 film "Anna and the King of Siam," with Irene Dunne and Rex Harrison. Chow Yun-Fat's King Mongkut is portrayed as a complex, fully formed, sympathetic despot. Anna and the King was not treated kindly by either the critics or the public. www.dvdfile.com /software/review/dvd-video_2/annaandtheking.html   (1140 words)

SPLICEDwire | "Anna and the King" review (1999) Because "Anna and the King" stands on its own remarkably well, it may be unfair to begin this review with a comparison to "The King and I," the most famous film adapted from the same source material. The third most striking thing about "Anna and the King" is the intricate, intimate performances of its stars, which comes as no surprise at all, as they're both irrefutably the best choices in the film biz for the title roles. Chow's king visibly enjoys having someone to spar with -- he finds Anna a stimulating intellectual and they share insights into each others' psyches. www.splicedonline.com /99reviews/annaking.html   (662 words)

Newsweek piece on Anna & the King in general- Chow Yun Fat Realvideo Interview Archive King Mongkut is a potent symbol of independence, particularly at a time when a financially battered Asia is worrying about "colonization" by Western investors and bankers. He also began to bring the king's godlike role down to earth, breaking protocol by shaking hands with a favorite missionary—at a time when no one was allowed to touch the king. Chow has made his name playing tough villains in Hong Kong action movies, but he is stepping out of his old character to become the first Asian film star to play a complex, romantic leading man in a serious, big- budget Hollywood movie (box). members.tripod.com /~abesapien/articles/anna_newsweek1.html   (1744 words)

Last check: 2007-11-02) She is committed to showing King Mongkut (Yun-Fat Chow) the respect he deserves, but she stands in his presence, seeks him out rather than waiting to be summoned, and expresses her feelings and beliefs in a manner that would never be tolerated by a Siamese subject of the king. The king obviously admires her spirit, asking her to teach not only his eldest son but all fifty-eight of his children, one of his wives, and one of his concubines.

Newsweek piece on Anna & the King & CYF in specific - Chow Yun Fat Realvideo Interview Archive Chow Yun-Fat was sick and tired of acting with two guns in his hands. As leading man in Andy Tennant's upcoming period piece, "Anna and the King," Chow is the first Asian star to land a serious romantic role in Hollywood. Chow's Singaporean wife, Jasmine, who manages his career and keeps watch on the set, says that his slick on-screen image as a killer and lady-killer never really fit his personality. members.tripod.com /~abesapien/articles/anna_newsweek2.html   (662 words)

Anna and the King - Cincinnati.Com With stubborn attachment to her ideals of enlightenment and democracy, she instantly violates Siamese protocol, which calls for King Mongkut (Chow Yun-Fat) to be treated as a god.

The Movie Channel The Movie Channel Chow Yun Fat is a charismatic, athletically built and energetic Asian-born film star who first came to the attention of western audiences via his roles in the high-octane/blazing guns action films of maverick HK director John Woo. With the phenomenal global interest in the HK action genre, Chow was enticed to the United States and appeared in The Replacement Killers with Mira Sorvino, The Corruptor with Mark Wahlberg and for a change of pace, in the often-filmed romantic tale of Anna and the King.

Chow Yun-Fat > Media > Print > AC Interviews CYF Chow was charming and engaging, revealing more of the human being behind his "superstar status." He talked of the hardships of his childhood and moral values in today's fast changing society. Chow Yun-Fat: Now, I can sense that even in Hong Kong, a lot of younger actors, they lost their strength to struggle, [they are] more aggressive in the luxury way. I mean, for reality, I'd hate to be a king, because everyday you have to manage all the documents and arrangements to meet all the ambassadors from all over the world, and plus your life line. www.templeofchow.com /interviews/99_ACICYF.html   (1646 words)

Last check: 2007-11-02) She becomes involved in his affairs, from the tragic plight of a young concubine to trying to forge an alliance with Britain to a war with Burma that is orchestrated by Britain. Humor and politics are given equal measure, and Chow Yun-Fat is arguably the most endearing king to date--powerful yet tender, forceful but anguished by the heavier burdens of leadership. The memoirs on which the King and I are based are probably fictitious and have little relation to the truth. www.amazon.com /Anna-King-Chow-Yun-Fat/dp/B00003CWLF   (1644 words)

Anna And The King Trailer, Reviews and Schedule for Anna And The King | TVGuide.com Much more than THE KING AND I without the music, this is a smart and splendidly decorated rethinking of Anna Leonowens's famous chronicle of her years as tutor to the royal family of Siam. Ostensibly hired by King Mongkut (Chow Yun-Fat) to teach his eldest son English and Western science, the prim Anna (Jodie Foster) arrives in sweltering 1862 Bangkok with her parasol held high and her convictions firmly in place.

Combustible Celluloid film review - Anna and the King (1999), Andy Tennant, Chow Yun-Fat, Jodie Foster, dvd review So Anna and the King was a fresh drink of water for me. The story is much the same: Anna (Foster) comes to Siam to teach the King (Chow) and his 58 children the English ways. To further complicate matters, the King lies to Anna and tells her that the French are responsible. The King and Anna are intellectual equals who spar with each other, each one-upping the other, and using their cultural differences as measuring devices. www.combustiblecelluloid.com /archive/annaking.shtml   (604 words)

Anna and the King Jodie Foster, Yun-Fat Chow, Ling Bai, Tom Felton: Andy Tennant (director) a jpoc movie review It's a mistake to think of this film as a remake of "The King and I" better to remember that both films are based loosely on the same original source.

Anna is confronted by Thailand and the King's court and family. www.jpoc.net /movies/a/00/annaking.html   (329 words)

Anna and the King (1999)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) Rama IV's queen died young, and after her death the King never raised another consort to be the queen. This is especially true of King Mongkut, who was far more educated, dashing and genteel than it would have been reasonable to expect. For it was clear that Anna was as much changed by Siam and the King as he and the children were by her. www.imdb.com /title/tt0166485   (626 words)

Film: Anna and the King (Seattle Weekly) The King of Siam is living large, with dozens of svelte concubines in a palace filled to the gills with gold. He also brings an infectious charisma to the role of the demanding king; his version is much more of a gentleman than Yul Brynner's incarnation in the 1956 adaptation of the Rodgers and Hammerstein show, and it's not long before Jodie Foster's hardheaded schoolteacher gets soft for him.

Anna and the King Fan Reviews: By Name I thought CYF had portrayed King Mongkut as a wise, learned and compassionate king and more importantly, his son King Chulanglongkorn was portrayed sensitively by the young actor as a boy who could emphatised with his people,and who grew up to be one of the greatest kings Thailand knew. Chow has make a big stride in Hollywood, and with his professionalism, he is going to have a bright future in Hollywood. Chow Yun-Fat's playing of the King is memorable - I thought it would be difficult to match the magnetism of Yul Brynner who was unforgettable as the King. www.geocities.com /Athens/8907/afr_name.html   (7279 words)

Greenwich Village Gazette Tumbleweeds  Reviewed by Eric Lurio Anna Leonowens was hired by King Mongkut of Siam [now known as Thailand] to be teacher to most of his 57 children.
