Anna and the King
|
| 00:01:37 |
She was the firstEnglishwoman |
| 00:01:41 |
And itseemed to me she knew |
| 00:01:45 |
But it was a world Siam |
| 00:01:50 |
The monsoon winds had whispered |
| 00:01:54 |
Some welcomed the rain, |
| 00:02:00 |
Still she came, unaware |
| 00:02:05 |
But it wasn't untilyears later thatlbegan |
| 00:02:11 |
and howalone she musthave felt. |
| 00:02:15 |
An Englishwoman. |
| 00:02:16 |
The firstl'd evermet. |
| 00:02:35 |
Mother! Come look! |
| 00:02:38 |
Louis, do take care by the railing. |
| 00:02:40 |
Beebe, Moonshee, gather your things. |
| 00:02:44 |
l think we should wait |
| 00:02:48 |
lf they were coming, they would be here |
| 00:02:52 |
My point exactly. |
| 00:02:59 |
Goodbye, Mrs Leonowens. |
| 00:03:05 |
Louis! |
| 00:03:11 |
Louis! |
| 00:03:12 |
Pardon me. |
| 00:03:14 |
Louis, come along, darling. |
| 00:03:16 |
- Mother? |
| 00:03:18 |
Why does this king need you |
| 00:03:21 |
The ways of England are the ways of |
| 00:03:30 |
Memsahib, in less than an hour |
| 00:03:34 |
not to return for another month. |
| 00:03:37 |
Tonight we shall all sleep |
| 00:03:40 |
Madam. A carriage... where? |
| 00:03:42 |
A carriage? Wait, wait. |
| 00:03:44 |
What is it? |
| 00:03:50 |
Over there. This way, darling. |
| 00:04:16 |
What do you suppose he's like, |
| 00:04:19 |
l heard that people used to be |
| 00:04:23 |
and that they revere him as a god. |
| 00:04:25 |
- You mean like Jesus? |
| 00:04:27 |
l suppose if he wishes his son |
| 00:04:31 |
then l should be quite honored. |
| 00:04:34 |
But why can't he just send him to London? |
| 00:04:37 |
Then you wouldn't have |
| 00:05:06 |
Gracious me! |
| 00:05:11 |
How would we know? |
| 00:05:13 |
lf you are not the lead elephant, |
| 00:05:46 |
Mother, look at those statues! |
| 00:06:39 |
Mem Leonowens, KawRub. |
| 00:06:41 |
Mrs Leonowens, |
| 00:06:42 |
His Excellency, Chao Phya Kralahome, |
| 00:06:53 |
Have you any friends in Bangkok, sir? |
| 00:06:56 |
No. l know no one here. |
| 00:07:04 |
Sir is married? |
| 00:07:07 |
A widow. Can you please explain |
| 00:07:12 |
Women do not stand |
| 00:07:21 |
How long are you in possession |
| 00:07:26 |
23 months. |
| 00:07:29 |
How did he die? |
| 00:07:32 |
Please convey to His Excellency that my |
| 00:07:37 |
and it is not necessary |
| 00:07:41 |
Please. |
| 00:07:46 |
ln Siam, sir, it is custom |
| 00:07:49 |
to first ask questions of personal nature |
| 00:07:52 |
to be polite. |
| 00:07:58 |
Mr Prime Minister, l meant no disrespect. |
| 00:08:02 |
However, getting here |
| 00:08:05 |
Sir will be shown to palace quarters. |
| 00:08:08 |
Mem. |
| 00:08:10 |
l beg your pardon. |
| 00:08:13 |
outside the palace walls. |
| 00:08:16 |
lt's what was agreed upon. |
| 00:08:19 |
ln Siam, sir, you will learn |
| 00:08:33 |
Don't bother unpacking, Moonshee. |
| 00:08:36 |
lt shall be settled to our satisfaction |
| 00:08:41 |
We don't have any money. |
| 00:08:43 |
That is correct, but l do not need |
| 00:08:51 |
lt sounds like we're living in a beehive. |
| 00:08:54 |
ln the morning l shall go to the king. |
| 00:08:56 |
A monarch who fails to keep his word |
| 00:09:00 |
There are principles at stake. Having a proper |
| 00:09:06 |
l don't think Siam |
| 00:09:08 |
Mother, how can it be a proper household? |
| 00:09:11 |
You haven't lived in England |
| 00:09:14 |
and l've never been there at all. |
| 00:09:16 |
lndia is British. |
| 00:09:21 |
Father would have put him right in his place. |
| 00:09:24 |
l'm very sorry l'm not |
| 00:09:35 |
l'm sorry, Louis. |
| 00:09:38 |
But this is a good opportunity for us. |
| 00:09:42 |
l should just... try to look at the positive side. |
| 00:09:46 |
Assuming there is one. |
| 00:09:48 |
Your father would have. |
| 00:09:50 |
He was a brave man, wasn't he? |
| 00:09:55 |
Yes, very. |
| 00:09:57 |
And most considerate. |
| 00:10:00 |
Which is more than l can say for this king. |
| 00:10:02 |
Shall we go find your bed? Come on. |
| 00:10:24 |
People of Bang Pli, |
| 00:10:28 |
has heard your cries forjustice. |
| 00:10:49 |
Cut them down! |
| 00:10:57 |
You. What happened here? |
| 00:11:02 |
Burmese soldiers, Your Highness... |
| 00:11:06 |
They said ifwe cut them down |
| 00:11:10 |
they would return. |
| 00:11:19 |
Unfortunate |
| 00:11:23 |
King's obligation reach |
| 00:11:26 |
lt has given me the time |
| 00:11:29 |
including why you pretended |
| 00:11:32 |
l believe it wise to be cautious. |
| 00:11:35 |
l will assume that our speaking now |
| 00:11:39 |
Best not to assume too much. |
| 00:11:42 |
When presented to His Majesty, |
| 00:11:45 |
you and son will remember |
| 00:11:51 |
Although we have become |
| 00:11:54 |
we have certainly not forgotten our own. |
| 00:11:57 |
Then how will you greet him? |
| 00:11:59 |
With the utmost respect. |
| 00:12:16 |
Mother, are those men speaking French? |
| 00:12:19 |
Yes. Apparently a warship's |
| 00:13:02 |
lt appears sir must wait |
| 00:13:08 |
No, l do not think so. Come along. |
| 00:13:12 |
Mem Leonowens! |
| 00:13:15 |
Mem! Wait! |
| 00:13:16 |
Please! |
| 00:13:19 |
Your Majesty, l am Anna Leonowens. |
| 00:13:23 |
Stop! |
| 00:13:26 |
Who?! Who?! |
| 00:13:27 |
Your Majesty, |
| 00:13:34 |
Your Majesty, we have been |
| 00:13:38 |
l appreciate that you have |
| 00:13:42 |
but l imagine your son's education... |
| 00:13:44 |
Silence! |
| 00:13:51 |
Has she no understanding of protocol? |
| 00:13:54 |
She has been advised. |
| 00:14:06 |
You... are teacher? |
| 00:14:09 |
Yes, Your Majesty, l am. |
| 00:14:28 |
You do not look sufficient of age |
| 00:14:33 |
How many years have you? |
| 00:14:37 |
Enough to know that age and wisdom |
| 00:14:41 |
l doubt you would say same |
| 00:14:46 |
They are rather inseparable, l'm afraid. |
| 00:14:52 |
His Majesty has not dismissed you. |
| 00:14:57 |
Come along, Louis. Up, up. Quickly! |
| 00:15:16 |
You articulate logical answer |
| 00:15:20 |
That is very kind ofyou, Your Majesty. |
| 00:15:22 |
But irritating superior attitude |
| 00:15:26 |
However, it will serve you well |
| 00:15:30 |
First impressions can often be misleading. |
| 00:15:32 |
Along with my eldest son, |
| 00:15:36 |
you shall now teach all my children. |
| 00:15:39 |
Come. |
| 00:15:53 |
The royal family. |
| 00:15:55 |
23 wives, |
| 00:15:57 |
42 concubines, |
| 00:15:59 |
58 offspring, |
| 00:16:02 |
and 10 more on the way. |
| 00:16:04 |
Each one unique. |
| 00:16:14 |
l understand your surprise. |
| 00:16:16 |
Not as many as Emperor of China, but |
| 00:16:22 |
King making up for lost time. |
| 00:16:26 |
Mother, what's a concubine? |
| 00:16:37 |
Attention, my most blessed |
| 00:16:43 |
Two who have sailed from far, far away. |
| 00:16:49 |
Presenting original pupil and heir apparent. |
| 00:16:53 |
Prince Chulalongkorn. |
| 00:16:55 |
This, my son, is your new teacher. |
| 00:16:59 |
lt is a great honor, Your Highness. |
| 00:17:02 |
Have l done something to offend you? |
| 00:17:08 |
Of course not. |
| 00:17:11 |
Then why do you punish me |
| 00:17:18 |
He doesn't look too happy about it. |
| 00:17:26 |
Dearest family, |
| 00:17:27 |
l desire you all, |
| 00:17:31 |
when of appropriate age, |
| 00:17:35 |
to be educated in English language, |
| 00:17:39 |
science, and literature. |
| 00:17:43 |
This is a necessary |
| 00:17:47 |
and you must never forget to honor your |
| 00:17:56 |
Hello, Your Highnesses. |
| 00:17:59 |
l am pleased to meet you. |
| 00:18:03 |
This is my son, Louis. |
| 00:18:08 |
Must not forget head wife. |
| 00:18:10 |
The Lady Thiang. |
| 00:18:13 |
lt is my pleasure that you help |
| 00:18:17 |
Lady Thiang. |
| 00:18:19 |
Welcome, mem teacher. |
| 00:18:22 |
Prince |
| 00:18:24 |
Thongkon Yai. |
| 00:18:26 |
Prince Suk Sawat. |
| 00:18:32 |
Princess Kannika Kaeo. |
| 00:18:40 |
And Princess Fa-Ying. |
| 00:18:42 |
l'm not princess. l'm monkey. |
| 00:18:45 |
My deepest apologies. |
| 00:18:52 |
l study her in English myself. |
| 00:18:56 |
Well, Your Majesty, |
| 00:19:00 |
And l find the opportunity |
| 00:19:03 |
Such devotion to progress |
| 00:19:11 |
Reform is vital for my country's survival. |
| 00:19:13 |
As tiny feet change, so too will Siam. |
| 00:19:18 |
But being in a country |
| 00:19:21 |
if l am to raise my son to be like his father, |
| 00:19:26 |
then l must feel free |
| 00:19:30 |
As a father, l understand. |
| 00:19:33 |
Good. Then His Majesty will appreciate why |
| 00:19:38 |
is of such great importance to us. |
| 00:19:40 |
A home which had been promised |
| 00:19:47 |
lt is my pleasure that you live in the palace. |
| 00:19:54 |
But it is not mine, Your Majesty. |
| 00:20:01 |
You do not set conditions |
| 00:20:05 |
And you shall obey! |
| 00:20:09 |
May l respectfully remind His Majesty |
| 00:20:17 |
A guest who is paid. |
| 00:20:21 |
Education begins tomorrow. |
| 00:20:25 |
He sounds absolutely dreadful, ifyou ask me. |
| 00:20:29 |
He did unnerve me, l must say. |
| 00:20:32 |
Moonshee, why does |
| 00:20:35 |
That is an excellent question |
| 00:20:38 |
for your mother. |
| 00:20:42 |
Mother? |
| 00:20:43 |
l heard you, Louis. |
| 00:20:46 |
Well, Siam is a monarchy |
| 00:20:49 |
And one way that a royal family |
| 00:20:53 |
in the face ofwar and disease |
| 00:20:58 |
So he needs a lot ofwives |
| 00:21:01 |
A keen observation, darling. |
| 00:21:04 |
Time for bed. Come and give us a kiss. |
| 00:21:08 |
Does he love all ofthem? |
| 00:21:12 |
ln a way. |
| 00:21:14 |
Like you loved Father? |
| 00:21:17 |
Things are very different here, Louis. |
| 00:21:20 |
Even love. |
| 00:21:22 |
Go on. Offto bed. |
| 00:21:27 |
Mother, why doesn't Queen Victoria |
| 00:21:31 |
Good night, Louis. |
| 00:21:58 |
l will never forget you... never. |
| 00:22:03 |
My heart is yours, Tuptim. |
| 00:22:07 |
l will always love you. |
| 00:22:09 |
...always, Tuptim. |
| 00:22:13 |
Remember! |
| 00:22:16 |
l will never forget you. |
| 00:22:30 |
Presenting royal school, sir. |
| 00:22:47 |
ls anything wrong, sir? |
| 00:22:49 |
No. Nothing at all, Lady Thiang. |
| 00:22:51 |
Louis, that will be your desk. |
| 00:23:03 |
Yes. Well, l suppose class is now in session. |
| 00:23:06 |
Sit down. |
| 00:23:13 |
Greetings, Mem Leonowens. |
| 00:23:18 |
My father wish to give sir this |
| 00:23:22 |
Well, l shall certainly |
| 00:23:26 |
May l compliment you on your English? |
| 00:23:34 |
Siam - population six million, |
| 00:23:37 |
spreading across 49 bountiful provinces, |
| 00:23:41 |
from Burma in west to Cambodia in east, |
| 00:23:44 |
presided over by King Maha Mongkut, |
| 00:23:47 |
Lord of Life, whose strength |
| 00:23:52 |
Not in my house, they don't. |
| 00:23:56 |
Son ofteacher is forgetting l am son of king. |
| 00:23:59 |
Son ofteacher couldn't care less. |
| 00:24:01 |
You will sit somewhere else! |
| 00:24:04 |
l will not! |
| 00:24:05 |
Louis, remember what l told you. |
| 00:24:08 |
l'm sorry, Mother. But he started it. |
| 00:24:10 |
ln my country, man never tell woman |
| 00:24:15 |
lf you had father, you would know that. |
| 00:24:18 |
You don't have a father! You have a map! |
| 00:24:20 |
Louis! |
| 00:24:21 |
- lt's forbidden to touch royalty! |
| 00:24:25 |
Get one ofyour slaves to shove me back! |
| 00:24:35 |
Get off me! |
| 00:24:36 |
Let me through. Excuse me. |
| 00:24:38 |
Stop it, Louis. That's enough! |
| 00:24:44 |
The nobleman, Thak Chaloemtiarana, |
| 00:24:47 |
Siam's most prosperous tea merchant, |
| 00:24:50 |
pledges eternal loyalty and wishes to present |
| 00:24:54 |
his most beautiful daughter, Tuptim, |
| 00:24:58 |
for His Majesty's royal favor. |
| 00:25:15 |
What has happened here? |
| 00:25:35 |
The British boy |
| 00:25:37 |
pushed Chulalongkorn, Your Majesty. |
| 00:25:52 |
Why? |
| 00:25:57 |
Prince insult memory of boy's father. |
| 00:26:28 |
998, 999, |
| 00:26:33 |
1,000. |
| 00:26:35 |
Finished. |
| 00:26:37 |
You may go home. |
| 00:26:38 |
Aren't you coming? |
| 00:26:40 |
Not until Prince Chulalongkorn |
| 00:27:17 |
l'm sorry, Lady Thiang, |
| 00:27:20 |
The prince has not yet been dismissed. |
| 00:27:26 |
His Majesty King Mongkut |
| 00:27:29 |
might get hungry during long night ahead. |
| 00:27:32 |
He send food... for one. |
| 00:27:46 |
Why does my father humble me? |
| 00:27:48 |
He wants what's best for you. |
| 00:27:50 |
For the moment, that includes me. |
| 00:27:53 |
Why? |
| 00:27:57 |
Most people do not see the world as it is. |
| 00:27:59 |
They see it as they are. |
| 00:28:01 |
And a good king needs a broader view. |
| 00:28:11 |
Stay here, Your Highness. |
| 00:28:56 |
What is that smell?! |
| 00:29:13 |
She has been chained outside for six weeks. |
| 00:29:17 |
Mem Leonowens, Jao Jom Manda Ung |
| 00:29:22 |
Yes. And when La-Ore offered her the money, |
| 00:29:27 |
Then she accused her of ingratitude |
| 00:29:29 |
and chained her like an animal |
| 00:29:32 |
Heir to throne must never be involved |
| 00:29:37 |
lt will resolve itself in time. |
| 00:29:39 |
Like my house? |
| 00:29:40 |
You are learning. |
| 00:29:49 |
Who would hang women and children? |
| 00:29:54 |
They were Burmese. |
| 00:29:56 |
So you've said. |
| 00:29:58 |
But the puppet who leads Burma |
| 00:30:02 |
Why would the lmperialists |
| 00:30:08 |
Because a war with one's neighbors |
| 00:30:12 |
brings the British to the rescue. |
| 00:30:19 |
Men like you, Alak, were not built |
| 00:30:22 |
for so much peace and prosperity. |
| 00:30:25 |
Peace makes men soft, Your Majesty. |
| 00:30:30 |
The English define Burma as |
| 00:30:34 |
a ''British Protectorate''. |
| 00:30:36 |
Vietnam and Cambodia are known |
| 00:30:38 |
throughout the world as |
| 00:30:41 |
''French lndochina''. |
| 00:30:44 |
What will they call Siam? |
| 00:30:55 |
l have been doing much thinking, |
| 00:30:58 |
on why some in this life are masters, |
| 00:31:02 |
and others slaves. |
| 00:31:04 |
That is something you need |
| 00:31:08 |
But you are teacher. |
| 00:31:10 |
Teach. |
| 00:31:25 |
This American woman - Harriet Beecher |
| 00:31:29 |
Perhaps you should read her and then |
| 00:31:39 |
A woman? |
| 00:31:40 |
Yes. |
| 00:31:44 |
Uncle Tom's Cabin. |
| 00:31:47 |
l shall read it at once, mem. |
| 00:32:12 |
You're trembling... |
| 00:32:15 |
Do not fear, blessed one. |
| 00:32:19 |
His Majesty is a kind and generous lover. |
| 00:33:38 |
Come along, Louis! |
| 00:33:41 |
Quickly. We don't want to be late for school. |
| 00:33:53 |
Were you not commanded |
| 00:33:58 |
Your Excellency, l'm fully prepared |
| 00:34:02 |
within the obligation of my duties. |
| 00:34:04 |
Beyond that, l promise no obedience. |
| 00:34:07 |
You will follow. |
| 00:34:22 |
She tricked me! |
| 00:34:25 |
She broke into my home, |
| 00:34:27 |
set my servant free, |
| 00:34:29 |
then came to me with an offer |
| 00:34:31 |
to buy her and made payment! |
| 00:34:36 |
La-Ore purchased her freedom once, |
| 00:34:38 |
and l believe, had l given |
| 00:34:41 |
she would have taken it |
| 00:34:45 |
King's commitment to noble families |
| 00:34:51 |
ln your letter confirming my employment, |
| 00:34:54 |
you said you wanted Siam to take its place |
| 00:34:58 |
You spoke of building |
| 00:35:01 |
A country where no man is above the law. |
| 00:35:10 |
Schoolteacher has outstanding memory. |
| 00:35:15 |
l want my slave returned |
| 00:35:18 |
and punishment ofthis insolent English |
| 00:35:24 |
who dares stand before the Lord of Life! |
| 00:35:30 |
Kralahome... |
| 00:35:32 |
lf you would please honor |
| 00:35:36 |
with an explanation ofthe law. |
| 00:35:39 |
Regretfully, l must inform you |
| 00:35:43 |
that bondservants have the right, |
| 00:35:46 |
by law, to buy their own freedom. |
| 00:35:54 |
And what if every slave in my service |
| 00:35:57 |
should bring me |
| 00:36:01 |
Am l bound to serve myself? |
| 00:36:07 |
That would be most unfortunate, |
| 00:36:12 |
my august mistress. |
| 00:36:25 |
This is a pauper's ring! |
| 00:36:55 |
Why did you intervene? |
| 00:37:01 |
My conscience demanded it. |
| 00:37:04 |
And boys' fisticuffs? |
| 00:37:06 |
l beg your pardon? |
| 00:37:08 |
l suppose, since you must be |
| 00:37:13 |
tendency to overprotect is strong. |
| 00:37:17 |
Louis can fend for himself, Your Majesty. |
| 00:37:20 |
lt was your son l was protecting. |
| 00:37:22 |
Thank you for the supper. |
| 00:37:27 |
l know my son. |
| 00:37:28 |
You would still be there. |
| 00:37:31 |
Perhaps. |
| 00:37:33 |
But then my point would have been made, |
| 00:37:37 |
- l am king. |
| 00:37:39 |
And l am his schoolteacher. |
| 00:37:41 |
Which lesson do you think he learnt? |
| 00:37:44 |
To respect his classmates |
| 00:37:52 |
Husband must have been |
| 00:38:00 |
My husband was never threatened |
| 00:38:06 |
And because l am also such |
| 00:38:09 |
l will allow you to always |
| 00:38:14 |
providing head shall |
| 00:38:20 |
Thank you, Your Majesty. |
| 00:38:31 |
Your Majesty, |
| 00:38:33 |
l believe there has been enough insult |
| 00:38:37 |
who believes herself |
| 00:38:42 |
Not the equal of a man, Chao Phya. |
| 00:38:46 |
The equal of a king. |
| 00:39:04 |
l make this for you tomorrow. |
| 00:39:09 |
Why, thank you, Fa-Ying. lt's beautiful. |
| 00:39:12 |
These are monkeys at summer palace. |
| 00:39:15 |
And this must be you. |
| 00:39:17 |
l shall hang it on my wall at home. |
| 00:39:20 |
l will make another for you yesterday. |
| 00:39:24 |
Then l shall wait for it tomorrow. |
| 00:39:30 |
- Lady Thiang. |
| 00:39:34 |
This is Lady Tuptim. |
| 00:39:41 |
l wish also to learn writing of English to... |
| 00:39:47 |
to please His Majesty King Mongkut. |
| 00:39:51 |
Yes, well, certainly. |
| 00:39:53 |
But l should hope that |
| 00:40:03 |
And this is for you. |
| 00:40:35 |
Make sure all ofyour books are open. |
| 00:40:39 |
Who knows the next letter |
| 00:40:42 |
- F. |
| 00:40:47 |
Who can tell me which words start with F? |
| 00:41:31 |
Fa-Ying loves the river. |
| 00:41:33 |
Yes, she told me |
| 00:41:37 |
How it is the center ofthe universe. |
| 00:41:39 |
lt is home to ancient ones |
| 00:41:44 |
l told her in England we have Camelot. |
| 00:41:46 |
And a big round table. |
| 00:41:49 |
Yes, that's right. |
| 00:41:51 |
Everyone should have legends, l think. |
| 00:41:54 |
You're an interesting mix |
| 00:41:58 |
l suppose it's because |
| 00:42:02 |
Teaching the young |
| 00:42:06 |
l didn't have a choice really. |
| 00:42:11 |
Buddhists believe all life is suffering. |
| 00:42:14 |
Take away pain of husband's death... |
| 00:42:21 |
- We might have preferred a different lesson. |
| 00:42:24 |
But unique opportunity to change world |
| 00:42:38 |
Louis. Do try and stay in the boat, darling. |
| 00:42:42 |
He asked about your flag and the significance |
| 00:42:48 |
Louis Leonowens! |
| 00:42:57 |
Yes, Your Majesty? |
| 00:42:59 |
l am teacher now. |
| 00:43:02 |
The flag of Siam. |
| 00:43:04 |
- Red is for? |
| 00:43:06 |
- White? |
| 00:43:08 |
The white elephant is Siam's |
| 00:43:13 |
Perhaps on journey to rice festival |
| 00:43:17 |
Rice festival? |
| 00:43:19 |
Mother! |
| 00:43:21 |
Mother, look! |
| 00:43:22 |
There's Moonshee and Beebe! |
| 00:43:26 |
l trust you will find ample space |
| 00:43:29 |
for engaging in English traditions. |
| 00:43:32 |
Even for growing of roses. |
| 00:43:35 |
Out of curiosity, |
| 00:43:38 |
or are you simply trying to get rid of me? |
| 00:43:43 |
Yes. |
| 00:43:56 |
A little soap and water, |
| 00:44:02 |
Shall l make us some tea? |
| 00:44:04 |
Yes. That would be lovely. |
| 00:44:47 |
l remember my first rice festival. |
| 00:44:50 |
People come from everywhere to see king. |
| 00:44:52 |
He bless all crops, and it begin to rain. |
| 00:44:57 |
l think he was a god. |
| 00:45:01 |
And now? |
| 00:45:04 |
He is also a man. |
| 00:45:10 |
l feel very fortunate that we're invited. |
| 00:45:14 |
One cannot see Siam's beauty |
| 00:45:19 |
The mountains are so green and the skies |
| 00:45:27 |
l must find Louis. |
| 00:45:29 |
Louis! |
| 00:45:41 |
- May l ask a favor, mem? |
| 00:45:47 |
To send this. |
| 00:45:50 |
l wish family to know |
| 00:45:55 |
l'll tell Moonshee |
| 00:45:59 |
Mem... |
| 00:46:01 |
May l ask a question? |
| 00:46:03 |
Yes. |
| 00:46:06 |
How did husband die? |
| 00:46:09 |
ln my arms, actually. |
| 00:46:16 |
How did mem survive? |
| 00:46:21 |
Just as you will. |
| 00:46:23 |
One awful day at a time. |
| 00:46:37 |
Mem sha, Louis is teasing me. |
| 00:46:40 |
He say in England coldness |
| 00:46:45 |
Why would l lie about snow? |
| 00:46:47 |
Please, mem, it is too hot. |
| 00:46:51 |
Just because your father can make it rain |
| 00:46:56 |
At last l discover her limitations. |
| 00:46:59 |
l have many, Your Majesty. |
| 00:47:01 |
Father, will you make it snow, please? |
| 00:47:05 |
Even for you, l cannot. |
| 00:47:07 |
But l've seen photographs |
| 00:47:10 |
Blankets of it... up to here! |
| 00:47:15 |
Louis... Smoke? |
| 00:47:18 |
Me? Jolly good! |
| 00:47:20 |
No. No! |
| 00:47:22 |
But, Mother, he's the king. |
| 00:47:24 |
My father smoked too. |
| 00:47:26 |
Yes, but your father had already |
| 00:47:30 |
l have been smoking since age six. |
| 00:47:33 |
And some believe me |
| 00:47:36 |
Yes. ln intelligence |
| 00:47:41 |
Which is why, Louis, |
| 00:47:45 |
l believe now is good time for all children |
| 00:47:51 |
to cool off court. Yes? |
| 00:47:53 |
Yes! |
| 00:47:59 |
l simply meant to open conversation |
| 00:48:01 |
in controversial fashion |
| 00:48:04 |
mem is so fond of. |
| 00:48:08 |
l do have my opinions, |
| 00:48:11 |
l wish to compliment you for enlightening |
| 00:48:18 |
However, |
| 00:48:19 |
at this time |
| 00:48:23 |
and you shall not teach this book to mine. |
| 00:48:33 |
Chulalongkorn has many questions, but one |
| 00:48:39 |
l understand, Your Majesty. |
| 00:50:04 |
Honestly, Louis. |
| 00:50:09 |
lt was his idea. |
| 00:50:11 |
Just because Prince Chulalongkorn jumps off |
| 00:50:16 |
How can anyone smoke those things? |
| 00:50:19 |
Your father certainly enjoyed them. |
| 00:50:26 |
ls that why you like him? |
| 00:50:28 |
The king, l mean. |
| 00:50:34 |
l think that cigar |
| 00:50:39 |
Go on. Go to sleep. |
| 00:50:52 |
You drag me out at night |
| 00:50:56 |
- French offer seven! |
| 00:51:00 |
You seem to have a very high opinion |
| 00:51:04 |
That is the best price you're gonna get! |
| 00:51:10 |
What are we waiting for? |
| 00:51:14 |
The Englishman must not be harmed. |
| 00:52:16 |
No one knows where |
| 00:52:23 |
Then we must strike back |
| 00:52:25 |
and with twice the venom! |
| 00:52:28 |
Strike who, my brother? |
| 00:52:30 |
The enemy still has no form. |
| 00:52:34 |
Loyalists to Your Majesty |
| 00:52:36 |
are strung up to rot. |
| 00:52:39 |
Merchants who reject British traders |
| 00:52:41 |
are murdered in their homes. |
| 00:52:44 |
England may hide |
| 00:52:48 |
but the stench is still British! |
| 00:52:54 |
One of us is wrong about the British. |
| 00:52:59 |
l will assemble the Officers at once. |
| 00:53:04 |
No. |
| 00:53:05 |
lf you are right about the British, |
| 00:53:07 |
this war cannot be won on a battlefield. |
| 00:53:12 |
Your Majesty, |
| 00:53:14 |
if we do not stop |
| 00:53:16 |
who will? |
| 00:53:22 |
Now, we all know that this egg |
| 00:53:27 |
lt's a fact. lt's the truth. |
| 00:53:29 |
And we rely on truth |
| 00:53:33 |
What if ourjudgment is wrong, even when |
| 00:53:38 |
Do we rely on our eyes |
| 00:53:52 |
You see, one way to achieve |
| 00:54:03 |
Leave us. |
| 00:54:14 |
The French say l am uncivilized ruler. |
| 00:54:19 |
l, who have spent entire life |
| 00:54:23 |
attempting to teach self |
| 00:54:27 |
Why would they print such things, |
| 00:54:30 |
You are English. |
| 00:54:34 |
Well, l can still be appalled. |
| 00:54:37 |
More importantly, |
| 00:54:39 |
do you, as a foreigner, see me in this light? |
| 00:54:45 |
l do not know all that you are, Your Majesty. |
| 00:54:48 |
But l believe l know what you're not. |
| 00:54:51 |
And you are not what they say. |
| 00:54:55 |
Thank you, mem... for humble validation. |
| 00:55:02 |
l have decided to give self |
| 00:55:05 |
and invite important |
| 00:55:09 |
l don't understand. |
| 00:55:11 |
French lndochina grows stronger |
| 00:55:15 |
But if l improve our foreign intercourse |
| 00:55:20 |
French will think three times |
| 00:55:26 |
That's very clever, Your Majesty. |
| 00:55:32 |
As ifto sound English bugles |
| 00:55:36 |
You shall take charge of all formalities |
| 00:55:39 |
as mem is obvious choice |
| 00:55:43 |
But... the anniversary is when? |
| 00:55:46 |
Three weeks from yesterday. |
| 00:55:48 |
Three weeks?! That's impossible. |
| 00:55:52 |
Mem... |
| 00:55:55 |
The egg |
| 00:55:56 |
is in the bottle. |
| 00:56:41 |
Only half a glass. |
| 00:56:59 |
We cannot have the servant bowing |
| 00:57:03 |
l understand. |
| 00:57:34 |
Just for one night. |
| 00:57:37 |
Thank you, Your Majesty. |
| 00:57:54 |
Sorry for nervousness. |
| 00:57:57 |
that king allow everyone |
| 00:58:02 |
But only for tonight. |
| 00:58:04 |
Your country and mine |
| 00:58:08 |
Rich cultures. Long histories. |
| 00:58:11 |
And now, it seems, Mrs Leonowens. |
| 00:58:13 |
Yes. |
| 00:58:15 |
My children's horizons keep |
| 00:58:22 |
My husband and l have been |
| 00:58:26 |
But l must say... l've never |
| 00:58:31 |
Extraordinary, isn't it? |
| 00:58:33 |
Grand Palace born from |
| 00:58:37 |
First man to unify all Siam. |
| 00:58:40 |
Our country owes its creation |
| 00:58:45 |
Well, these rooftops are a little nutty. |
| 00:58:51 |
He endeavored to build an empire, |
| 00:58:53 |
but the nobility that ran Siam |
| 00:58:59 |
and replaced him with Mongkut's |
| 00:59:04 |
Taksin they put in a velvet sack, |
| 00:59:09 |
and buried somewhere in palace. |
| 00:59:11 |
Oh, dear. |
| 00:59:12 |
lt sounds as though you admire him, general. |
| 00:59:16 |
l admire vision, Lady Bradley, in all its forms. |
| 00:59:39 |
Forgive me, Your Majesty. |
| 00:59:44 |
Mem. |
| 00:59:46 |
You arrange all this |
| 00:59:51 |
And now you steal attention away from it. |
| 00:59:57 |
Well, that was not my intention, |
| 01:00:01 |
Mrs Leonowens. |
| 01:00:03 |
What a delightful surprise, |
| 01:00:05 |
encountering such an enchanting |
| 01:00:10 |
Lord Bradley, this is indeed a great honor. |
| 01:00:16 |
l'm half-crazy |
| 01:00:20 |
All for the love ofyou |
| 01:00:24 |
lt won't be a stylish marriage |
| 01:00:28 |
l can't afford a carriage |
| 01:00:32 |
But you'll look sweet upon the seat |
| 01:00:35 |
Of a bicycle made for two |
| 01:00:48 |
Gracious ladies, kind sirs, |
| 01:00:51 |
on behalf of 68 brothers and sisters, |
| 01:00:56 |
and bid you most gracious evening. |
| 01:01:09 |
Your son bears a striking resemblance |
| 01:01:14 |
l had the good fortune |
| 01:01:18 |
He was a courageous soldier, ma'am. |
| 01:01:22 |
l thank you, Captain Blake. |
| 01:01:24 |
Father, may l please kiss good night? |
| 01:01:35 |
lf l may beg indulgence |
| 01:01:49 |
l will be there in your dreams |
| 01:01:52 |
as you will be in mine. |
| 01:01:55 |
- Good night. |
| 01:02:04 |
You have |
| 01:02:08 |
A remarkably large one. |
| 01:02:11 |
Hardly seems fair. |
| 01:02:13 |
All these women for one man. |
| 01:02:15 |
Makes me wish l was Siamese myself. |
| 01:02:21 |
Mycroft Kincaid... |
| 01:02:27 |
Guilty as charged, Your Majesty. |
| 01:02:29 |
Mr Kincaid's company is merely one ofthe |
| 01:02:35 |
with other countries, Your Majesty. |
| 01:02:38 |
Also, l think, to arrive at forefront |
| 01:02:43 |
Yes? |
| 01:02:48 |
Still, progress through commerce is logic. |
| 01:02:52 |
King find most practical |
| 01:02:58 |
With all due respect, Your Majesty, |
| 01:03:02 |
that commerce alone |
| 01:03:06 |
Especially when they're awash |
| 01:03:10 |
Like your lovely concubines here |
| 01:03:14 |
worn, no doubt, to protect them |
| 01:03:28 |
A friend once said, Mr Kincaid, |
| 01:03:32 |
English also have fantastical beliefs. |
| 01:03:36 |
Or am l mistaking your country |
| 01:03:43 |
Point taken, Your Majesty. |
| 01:03:45 |
However, there is no arguing |
| 01:03:50 |
And in the light ofthese dreadful massacres |
| 01:03:55 |
it's no wonder you're seeking our favor. |
| 01:03:58 |
Superiority, Mr Kincaid? l do not recall |
| 01:04:02 |
anyone being given the right to judge |
| 01:04:06 |
Especially when those judging have |
| 01:04:14 |
Would you not agree, Your Majesty? |
| 01:04:19 |
Quite. |
| 01:04:22 |
Well... the evenings here |
| 01:04:27 |
Hear, hear! |
| 01:04:30 |
A night made to order for anniversary party. |
| 01:04:33 |
Especially for a king who is |
| 01:04:41 |
To our host! |
| 01:04:43 |
A true gentleman, generous in every way. |
| 01:04:46 |
May history mark this occasion |
| 01:04:51 |
towards forging an alliance |
| 01:04:55 |
His Majesty! |
| 01:04:56 |
His Majesty! |
| 01:05:08 |
And in honor |
| 01:05:12 |
a waltz, as is European custom |
| 01:06:10 |
l must tell you, Your Majesty, |
| 01:06:14 |
and, seeing as the evening |
| 01:06:18 |
we wouldn't want to end up |
| 01:06:21 |
l am king. l shall lead. |
| 01:06:27 |
l never danced with |
| 01:06:30 |
Nor l with a king. |
| 01:06:33 |
l want you to make promise, mem, to always |
| 01:06:38 |
Like to man from East lndia Company. |
| 01:06:43 |
l always have. |
| 01:07:42 |
Mem. |
| 01:07:44 |
You're humming. |
| 01:07:47 |
Yes, l suppose l am. |
| 01:07:49 |
As alarming as this may sound, Beebe, |
| 01:07:54 |
What charming people, hm? You remember |
| 01:08:00 |
Like it was yesterday. |
| 01:08:02 |
l was afraid that dinner might unsettle you. |
| 01:08:05 |
All those Englishmen in uniform. |
| 01:08:08 |
Yes. l thought it would |
| 01:08:12 |
Quite the opposite. |
| 01:08:16 |
Shall we get some ofthese? |
| 01:08:38 |
And how did His Majesty fare |
| 01:08:42 |
He was charming. Absolutely charming. |
| 01:08:46 |
l don't think l'll ever forget how he stood |
| 01:08:52 |
One of his 26 wives? |
| 01:08:55 |
Well, thank you, Beebe. |
| 01:08:59 |
Well, perhaps you should. |
| 01:09:19 |
We have been searching |
| 01:09:23 |
here, here, and here, |
| 01:09:26 |
except no one |
| 01:09:31 |
Which is all the more reason |
| 01:09:39 |
Yes, but not up here. |
| 01:09:44 |
You once told me |
| 01:09:48 |
through Three Pagodas Pass. |
| 01:09:50 |
Could they not invade the same way? |
| 01:09:55 |
To march an army through there |
| 01:09:59 |
Yes, and how long have we |
| 01:10:01 |
been searching up North? |
| 01:10:09 |
Assemble a regiment at once. |
| 01:10:18 |
l have a surprise for you. |
| 01:10:26 |
How... |
| 01:10:28 |
How did you... |
| 01:10:30 |
l'm not quite sure, actually. |
| 01:10:35 |
Thank you, mem. |
| 01:10:36 |
My family... is very important to me. |
| 01:10:41 |
l shall leave you to enjoy every word then. |
| 01:11:01 |
Your Majesty? |
| 01:11:04 |
- You sent for me? |
| 01:11:06 |
But here... |
| 01:11:07 |
Look. |
| 01:11:12 |
Something tells me |
| 01:11:16 |
- night of anniversary. |
| 01:11:18 |
l've been presented with drawings |
| 01:11:27 |
Come. |
| 01:11:36 |
Sit, please. |
| 01:11:52 |
Perhaps you should simply say |
| 01:12:01 |
l share this with you, mem, |
| 01:12:04 |
because l believe you to be trustworthy. |
| 01:12:09 |
Events are happening which |
| 01:12:14 |
and l fear that military action is unavoidable. |
| 01:12:18 |
But Burma is British. |
| 01:12:24 |
Yes. |
| 01:12:28 |
Then it is not the French that |
| 01:12:40 |
l see. |
| 01:12:49 |
On table, mem, is small gift of appreciation |
| 01:13:16 |
Mem's hand |
| 01:13:19 |
has been lonely without such. |
| 01:13:24 |
lt is... most kind, Your Majesty. |
| 01:13:27 |
lt's very beautiful. |
| 01:13:29 |
Though l am terribly grateful... |
| 01:13:31 |
lt is custom to bestow favors |
| 01:13:33 |
for those who... who please king. |
| 01:13:41 |
l'm sorry. l cannot accept such generosity. |
| 01:14:06 |
l hardly think ten days' rain |
| 01:14:10 |
May l suggest a retreat? |
| 01:14:17 |
Mother, l think l should have |
| 01:14:21 |
l think you've gone a bit daft, darling. |
| 01:14:24 |
With all this rain, it's no wonder. |
| 01:14:27 |
l don't see why l have to miss school. |
| 01:14:29 |
Because your classroom's under water, |
| 01:14:49 |
My mostprecious Tuptim. |
| 01:14:51 |
l knowyou will understand |
| 01:14:55 |
When you were torn from myheart, |
| 01:15:00 |
Which is why, iflam to live, |
| 01:15:05 |
For onlyhe can give me peace. |
| 01:15:09 |
l willneverforgetyou. |
| 01:16:10 |
Fa-Ying was found |
| 01:16:14 |
Difficult even fora grown man |
| 01:16:17 |
Cholera always in world |
| 01:16:22 |
- ls there nothing you can do? |
| 01:16:26 |
Phra Arahan. Reminding soul |
| 01:16:33 |
lt is why mem must not be heard weeping, |
| 01:16:36 |
as her soul will attach to sadness |
| 01:16:45 |
His Majesty is grateful. |
| 01:16:48 |
The little one has made |
| 01:21:01 |
lnside! |
| 01:21:04 |
l take all meals inside! |
| 01:21:06 |
Your Majesty? |
| 01:21:08 |
Being as the rain has stopped, the children |
| 01:21:21 |
Mem. |
| 01:21:23 |
l will always remember |
| 01:21:28 |
And you shall never forget |
| 01:21:32 |
The children miss you terribly, Your Majesty. |
| 01:21:38 |
You cannot shut the world out for ever. |
| 01:21:41 |
Believe me, l've tried. |
| 01:21:44 |
When my Tom died, l thought |
| 01:21:48 |
But then there was Louis. |
| 01:21:51 |
He was my salvation, you see. |
| 01:21:53 |
And yet you still refuse to live. |
| 01:21:57 |
l beg your pardon? |
| 01:22:04 |
A mother, |
| 01:22:06 |
a teacher, |
| 01:22:08 |
a widow. |
| 01:22:09 |
But you're neverjust... woman. |
| 01:22:12 |
That is not fair. |
| 01:22:15 |
ln spite of all you say, |
| 01:22:20 |
lt is why you so protect son, |
| 01:22:23 |
and why you devote all time |
| 01:22:26 |
and why you cannot accept gift! |
| 01:22:29 |
Why are you doing this? |
| 01:22:32 |
Because you lie even to yourself. |
| 01:22:36 |
So do not lecture me about living. |
| 01:22:38 |
You are not qualified. |
| 01:24:32 |
These hours are meant for sleep. |
| 01:24:36 |
You startled me. |
| 01:24:39 |
l thought it wise to do so. |
| 01:24:45 |
May l ask what His Majesty is doing awake |
| 01:24:50 |
Gazing at the moon. |
| 01:24:53 |
Yes, she's beautiful. |
| 01:24:56 |
As the sun rises, she will surrender the night. |
| 01:25:01 |
But she is always with him, |
| 01:25:06 |
That must be a great comfort to him. |
| 01:25:12 |
Yes. |
| 01:25:18 |
This come from Bangkok. |
| 01:25:24 |
- lt's from... |
| 01:25:26 |
Please to read. |
| 01:25:29 |
As monkey has stolen king's spectacles. |
| 01:25:35 |
''Your Majesty, the United States |
| 01:25:41 |
to help end this tragic conflict.'' |
| 01:25:43 |
''Unfortunately our country does not reach |
| 01:25:49 |
''We are, however, highly grateful |
| 01:25:54 |
''Your good friend, Abraham Lincoln.'' |
| 01:26:00 |
l admire this man for what |
| 01:26:04 |
They say at the Battle ofAntietam, |
| 01:26:11 |
And each one ofthose soldiers |
| 01:26:15 |
l'm father to all of Siam. |
| 01:26:19 |
Mem is not wrong about moving on. |
| 01:26:23 |
Neither were you, Your Majesty. |
| 01:26:36 |
When we return, it is time for teacher |
| 01:26:41 |
any subject she wish, |
| 01:26:45 |
so can be prepared for consequences. |
| 01:26:49 |
l will do my best, Your Majesty. |
| 01:26:54 |
And l was always believing |
| 01:27:21 |
l have been wondering, mem. |
| 01:27:24 |
When it's my son's time to become king, |
| 01:27:27 |
will he be a good one? |
| 01:27:30 |
Well, he is still a boy, Your Majesty. |
| 01:27:32 |
But a keenly intelligent one, |
| 01:27:37 |
Qualities, l believe, of a great king. |
| 01:27:44 |
l want to thank you |
| 01:27:48 |
l cannot imagine anywhere l would rather be. |
| 01:27:54 |
Were you happy in Bombay? |
| 01:27:56 |
l was never unhappy. |
| 01:27:58 |
But... l find myselftraveling |
| 01:28:02 |
wondering where it is that l belong exactly. |
| 01:28:07 |
And l find myself here. |
| 01:28:10 |
Your path is as it should be. |
| 01:28:14 |
My mind has taken me |
| 01:28:18 |
All ofwhich lead absolutely nowhere. |
| 01:28:23 |
What would Buddha say ofthat? |
| 01:28:27 |
That roads are forjourneys, mem. |
| 01:28:32 |
Not destinations. |
| 01:28:40 |
Don't your wives ever getjealous? |
| 01:28:42 |
l do not understand significance of question. |
| 01:28:46 |
- Forgive me. l was prying. |
| 01:28:50 |
Well, most ofthe world believes that |
| 01:28:53 |
a man and a woman |
| 01:28:57 |
which is sacred only unto themselves. |
| 01:29:03 |
Each one of my wives |
| 01:29:08 |
Not everyone can marry you, Your Majesty. |
| 01:29:11 |
Good thing. |
| 01:29:13 |
King need his rest sometime. |
| 01:29:34 |
Burmese camp, General, |
| 01:29:37 |
just over that ridge. |
| 01:30:38 |
Let us hope they are better cook |
| 01:30:40 |
than they are soldiers. |
| 01:30:46 |
We will camp here tonight. |
| 01:31:13 |
Your country owes you a debt of gratitude. |
| 01:31:18 |
Your instincts were excellent, |
| 01:31:22 |
They ran offtoo quickly. |
| 01:31:41 |
To His Majesty and the greatness of Siam. |
| 01:32:01 |
You will not drink to your own brother? |
| 01:32:10 |
You said my instincts were good. |
| 01:32:14 |
And what are they telling you? |
| 01:32:18 |
That you are not drinking either. |
| 01:33:17 |
My soldiers needed palace uniforms. |
| 01:33:23 |
You poisoned your own regiment!? |
| 01:33:25 |
Yes. ln war, innocent people die. |
| 01:33:33 |
But only a war will cleanse this nation |
| 01:33:39 |
of its Western parasites. |
| 01:33:48 |
Take comfort, Chowfa, |
| 01:33:51 |
your brother and his children |
| 01:34:47 |
All the bodies were stripped |
| 01:34:52 |
l fear Prince Chowfa and Alak |
| 01:34:59 |
May their souls rest in peace. |
| 01:35:05 |
You couldn't have prevented |
| 01:35:10 |
Send my armies north. |
| 01:35:12 |
lf Burma wants this war, they shall have it. |
| 01:35:24 |
Lord Bradley? |
| 01:35:25 |
Lady Bradley, Mr Kincaid. |
| 01:35:29 |
l'm afraid a moment is all we have. |
| 01:35:31 |
We are leaving on the next boat, |
| 01:35:35 |
- My life is here, Lady Bradley. |
| 01:35:38 |
All this sabre-rattling. |
| 01:35:41 |
Not good for trade, l can tell you. |
| 01:35:43 |
The king's brother is most likely dead, |
| 01:35:47 |
l would hardly call his action unprovoked. |
| 01:35:51 |
What can l do for you, Mrs Leonowens? |
| 01:35:55 |
Are the British behind these attacks on Siam? |
| 01:35:58 |
Huh! Stick to teaching, Mrs Leonowens! |
| 01:36:01 |
lt's obvious you know nothing about politics. |
| 01:36:04 |
Burma would not make a move |
| 01:36:08 |
Precisely. |
| 01:36:10 |
But ifthis crisis isn't resolved soon and a |
| 01:36:17 |
we will have no choice |
| 01:36:21 |
Our protection? |
| 01:36:23 |
Our interests? |
| 01:36:25 |
The ways of England |
| 01:36:28 |
They are the ways of one world, Lady |
| 01:36:33 |
You forget yourself, madam. |
| 01:36:37 |
No, l will not. |
| 01:36:39 |
You raised your glass to him! |
| 01:36:41 |
You commended him for his vision. |
| 01:36:43 |
And all the while you were waiting |
| 01:36:47 |
How the empire conducts its business |
| 01:36:52 |
The last time l inquired, Lord Bradley, |
| 01:36:56 |
A fact you would do well to remember |
| 01:37:19 |
Forgive me, but my Lady Tuptim |
| 01:37:24 |
l am Phim. |
| 01:37:27 |
Someone found her in the monastery. |
| 01:37:30 |
She must speak with you. |
| 01:37:46 |
What is it? |
| 01:38:00 |
Oh, my dear girl. |
| 01:38:02 |
What have you done? |
| 01:38:06 |
What l have done is not result of king |
| 01:38:09 |
or intention to dishonor. |
| 01:38:12 |
A concubine's heart |
| 01:38:15 |
consumed with matters |
| 01:38:19 |
But, Tuptim, why did you not come to me? |
| 01:38:25 |
The king might have understood. |
| 01:38:27 |
You simply can't do this to him - not now! |
| 01:38:31 |
lf love was a choice, who would |
| 01:38:38 |
This is what l need His Majesty to know. |
| 01:38:41 |
lf such does not compromise you. |
| 01:38:45 |
l will tell him anything you wish. |
| 01:38:52 |
l thank Buddha for giving me direction. |
| 01:38:56 |
And now, with mem before me, |
| 01:38:58 |
l thank him for giving me true friend. |
| 01:39:08 |
Halt! |
| 01:39:10 |
Halt! |
| 01:39:12 |
Stay where you are! |
| 01:39:38 |
Lady Tuptim, you are accused |
| 01:39:42 |
of a traitorous act |
| 01:39:44 |
against His Majesty, King Mongkut, |
| 01:39:47 |
which carries the penalty |
| 01:39:51 |
of death. |
| 01:39:54 |
Please describe for the Court |
| 01:39:57 |
the events as they occurred. |
| 01:40:00 |
Why say anything |
| 01:40:17 |
ls this not the priest |
| 01:40:20 |
whose letter was found |
| 01:40:23 |
in your chamber, |
| 01:40:26 |
written in English, |
| 01:40:29 |
in hope, no doubt, |
| 01:40:33 |
to disguise its lascivious intent? |
| 01:40:38 |
Fear not, Tuptim, |
| 01:40:40 |
all life is suffering. |
| 01:40:45 |
Speak now, woman, or the cane shall be |
| 01:40:48 |
applied to you at once. |
| 01:40:52 |
My Lords, |
| 01:40:54 |
His Holiness, Balat, is the only man |
| 01:40:58 |
l have ever loved, |
| 01:41:00 |
and being taken from him |
| 01:41:04 |
was to deny |
| 01:41:06 |
air to my lungs. |
| 01:41:12 |
His Majesty does not need me, |
| 01:41:22 |
but l need Balat. |
| 01:41:29 |
He wrote to me to bid me farewell, |
| 01:41:35 |
So committed his life to monastery! |
| 01:41:38 |
You will speak in your native tongue! |
| 01:41:42 |
This priest disguised you |
| 01:41:46 |
as the most sacred of human beings. |
| 01:41:48 |
No, he did nothing! |
| 01:41:55 |
l disguised myself. |
| 01:42:00 |
When l knew he could not recognize me, |
| 01:42:04 |
l became one of his brothers. |
| 01:42:10 |
He never knew l was a woman. |
| 01:42:22 |
My Lords, l speak the truth! |
| 01:42:27 |
He gave you this robe |
| 01:42:34 |
and you went to his bed! |
| 01:42:38 |
That is not true! |
| 01:42:41 |
And l condemn you |
| 01:42:46 |
for your foul thoughts |
| 01:42:50 |
and cruel hearts! |
| 01:42:53 |
Cane her. |
| 01:43:04 |
Stop it! Do you hear me?! |
| 01:43:06 |
Don't you dare lay |
| 01:43:10 |
She has done nothing but to try |
| 01:43:14 |
l will go to the king! |
| 01:43:26 |
Thank you for seeing me, Your Majesty. |
| 01:43:29 |
l was told by your prime minister |
| 01:43:32 |
lt is none of mem's concern. |
| 01:43:34 |
And king is seeing you now |
| 01:43:38 |
Forgive me, but... |
| 01:43:39 |
l do not wish for you to talk more |
| 01:43:44 |
- l was only trying... |
| 01:43:47 |
By loving someone? |
| 01:43:50 |
''Persecute no man.'' |
| 01:43:54 |
l am king! And l say enough! |
| 01:44:00 |
You asked me to always tell you what l think. |
| 01:44:04 |
What you think... and what you do |
| 01:44:07 |
and how... and when you do them |
| 01:44:11 |
are not the same thing. |
| 01:44:14 |
lf you believe l wish to execute this girl... |
| 01:44:17 |
But now, because you say to court |
| 01:44:22 |
you can tell king what to do, |
| 01:44:25 |
l cannot intervene as l had planned. |
| 01:44:28 |
lntervene? After they're tortured? |
| 01:44:30 |
Yes! |
| 01:44:33 |
But you, a woman and a foreigner, |
| 01:44:38 |
have made it seem king at your command. |
| 01:44:41 |
You have made me appear weak. |
| 01:44:44 |
And impossible for me |
| 01:44:47 |
- But you are the king. |
| 01:44:50 |
l cannot undermine ability |
| 01:44:53 |
- which l must have to keep country secure. |
| 01:44:57 |
Now is not the time to change |
| 01:45:02 |
Well, if not now, then when? |
| 01:45:04 |
How many more people must die |
| 01:45:17 |
Go home, mem. |
| 01:45:20 |
You help enough for one day. |
| 01:49:47 |
For the life of me, l don't know |
| 01:49:51 |
You have five minutes, Mr Kincaid. |
| 01:49:54 |
l suggest you not waste them. |
| 01:49:58 |
l don't suppose l could have a glass ofwater? |
| 01:50:05 |
Right. |
| 01:50:07 |
Then l'll come straight to the point. |
| 01:50:11 |
As you know, l do a lot |
| 01:50:17 |
many ofwhom have ended up |
| 01:50:20 |
Which, as l have discovered, |
| 01:50:25 |
to make you think we British are the villains. |
| 01:50:31 |
l happen to know we are not. |
| 01:50:34 |
The acquisition of a particular little piece |
| 01:50:41 |
But the fact is, when all is said and done, |
| 01:50:44 |
l make more money |
| 01:50:48 |
l think l'm about to become your best friend. |
| 01:50:55 |
Your Majesty, Alak will not stop |
| 01:51:03 |
Kincaid said he'll blame |
| 01:51:07 |
then launch a full-scale attack using |
| 01:51:14 |
Alak seeks to finish |
| 01:51:17 |
Taksin was insane. |
| 01:51:19 |
No. |
| 01:51:21 |
He was betrayed. |
| 01:51:24 |
As we are now. |
| 01:51:27 |
How long before Alak reaches the city? |
| 01:51:30 |
A week. |
| 01:51:32 |
Maybe less. |
| 01:51:33 |
And my armies? |
| 01:51:36 |
They will never reach the palace in time. |
| 01:51:41 |
Then he has already won. |
| 01:51:45 |
l will evacuate the royal family at once. |
| 01:52:04 |
No. |
| 01:52:06 |
Recall the army. |
| 01:52:08 |
And announce to the people |
| 01:52:11 |
we have just received glad tidings. |
| 01:52:18 |
Glad tidings, Your Majesty? |
| 01:52:32 |
Mother, doesn't chahng see kao |
| 01:52:35 |
- Do you think they've found one? |
| 01:52:39 |
Entire village has seen it. |
| 01:52:42 |
- l'll see to our tickets. |
| 01:52:46 |
l don't want to leave my friends. |
| 01:52:48 |
- The king has done good things too. |
| 01:52:52 |
You said the Siamese people are just like us. |
| 01:52:55 |
And what about Chulalongkorn? |
| 01:53:01 |
Believe me, darling. |
| 01:53:05 |
lt is the right decision. |
| 01:53:08 |
We must go. |
| 01:53:27 |
Sir. |
| 01:53:29 |
You of all are most aware |
| 01:53:35 |
One being to contradict king. |
| 01:53:38 |
Yes. And God help him. |
| 01:53:40 |
Excuse me. |
| 01:53:41 |
Passage for four on the Newcastle. |
| 01:53:44 |
There is no white elephant, sir. |
| 01:53:50 |
King invented sighting at Prachin Buri |
| 01:53:53 |
so he can escort royal family |
| 01:53:58 |
l don't understand. |
| 01:54:04 |
There is a traitor marching on palace. |
| 01:54:09 |
Deception's only purpose is to hide children |
| 01:54:16 |
Please, mem. |
| 01:54:18 |
My king believes you are wise. |
| 01:54:21 |
You are only one who can persuade him |
| 01:54:26 |
until army returns to Bangkok |
| 01:54:32 |
Please, mem. |
| 01:54:44 |
Everything in order, gentlemen? |
| 01:54:46 |
We have fireworks to announce the |
| 01:54:49 |
Let us hope Alak is convinced. |
| 01:55:54 |
l have just been informed ofthe nature |
| 01:55:59 |
And l would like to ask a few questions |
| 01:56:04 |
as l've heard, at times, |
| 01:56:06 |
wild elephants cannot be reasoned with. |
| 01:56:12 |
l am surprised Kralahome |
| 01:56:16 |
rather than make sure |
| 01:56:21 |
We have already missed our boat |
| 01:56:26 |
King cannot miss his boat. |
| 01:56:28 |
lf it will not be inconvenient, |
| 01:56:32 |
Jungle is no place for proper English teacher. |
| 01:56:35 |
No, it is not, Your Majesty. Which is why |
| 01:56:40 |
might help ensure your display. |
| 01:56:47 |
Something l feel, |
| 01:56:49 |
for many reasons, |
| 01:56:52 |
l would very much like to do. |
| 01:57:57 |
When a woman who has much to say |
| 01:58:02 |
her silence can be deafening. |
| 01:58:10 |
l wish to thank you, mem, for your courage. |
| 01:58:18 |
l thought l never wanted to see you again. |
| 01:58:35 |
l had a vision ofyoung Tuptim and of Balat. |
| 01:58:41 |
l think by touching us all |
| 01:58:44 |
they have fulfilled their destiny |
| 01:58:53 |
Through birth and rebirth, we Buddhists |
| 01:59:02 |
You told me once that l had never |
| 01:59:07 |
- l had no right. |
| 01:59:11 |
l now realize that |
| 01:59:16 |
That life is... precious. |
| 01:59:21 |
Especially ifyou're Christian |
| 01:59:29 |
Why did you come back? |
| 01:59:36 |
Because l could not imagine |
| 01:59:59 |
The Royal Steamer |
| 02:00:03 |
The King travels East on foot, |
| 02:00:10 |
lf he lies about a white elephant, |
| 02:00:13 |
what other scheme has he concealed? |
| 02:00:18 |
Are the children with him? |
| 02:00:22 |
Yes. |
| 02:00:24 |
Where would he take them? |
| 02:00:34 |
There is a monastery in Nong Khai... |
| 02:00:38 |
Mongkut spent half his life there. |
| 02:00:45 |
His sanctuary. |
| 02:00:50 |
The Chakri Dynasty comes to us. |
| 02:00:56 |
We must not keep them waiting. |
| 02:02:07 |
We cannot outrun them, Your Majesty. |
| 02:02:28 |
Do not let them see your fear, gentlemen. |
| 02:02:38 |
What has happened? |
| 02:02:40 |
You and the children must |
| 02:02:43 |
l will meet you there. |
| 02:02:45 |
l can see it in your eyes. |
| 02:02:49 |
Was not to be this way, mem. |
| 02:02:53 |
Alak's army has found us. |
| 02:02:55 |
lf he crosses the bridge, |
| 02:02:58 |
everything l love will die. |
| 02:03:01 |
- But they're only children. |
| 02:03:04 |
And each one heir to throne. |
| 02:03:07 |
Now... you must hurry. |
| 02:03:11 |
- What will you do? |
| 02:03:14 |
But will that stop him? |
| 02:03:16 |
lt will - if he's on it. |
| 02:03:18 |
Your Majesty, promise me... |
| 02:03:31 |
lf your Bible is correct, |
| 02:03:36 |
Therefore |
| 02:03:38 |
possible handful of men can stop an army. |
| 02:03:56 |
But, Father, never has such |
| 02:04:02 |
My son, there are many things you will |
| 02:04:07 |
Why can't l stay with you? |
| 02:04:09 |
Because l need you |
| 02:04:17 |
There is no white elephant, is there? |
| 02:04:55 |
Come. Come. |
| 02:05:59 |
No matter what happens... |
| 02:06:01 |
the moment you're ready |
| 02:06:02 |
blow this bridge. |
| 02:07:26 |
Throw down your weapons |
| 02:07:28 |
or you and your men will be slaughtered |
| 02:07:32 |
without mercy. |
| 02:07:36 |
l hardly think women and children |
| 02:07:39 |
with parasols are up to the task. |
| 02:07:44 |
l think you will find l have more on |
| 02:08:06 |
lt's a trap, General. |
| 02:08:38 |
Mother, come look! |
| 02:08:41 |
- What? |
| 02:08:57 |
Wait! Stop the carriage. |
| 02:09:00 |
He's crazy. |
| 02:09:05 |
He's bluffing. |
| 02:09:44 |
...Defiant to the last. |
| 02:09:47 |
As the sun sets, |
| 02:09:50 |
so does the Chakri Dynasty. |
| 02:10:11 |
He's brought the British!? |
| 02:10:13 |
There is nobody! lt's a trick! |
| 02:10:15 |
lt's the British! |
| 02:10:17 |
Retreat! |
| 02:10:19 |
There is no one! |
| 02:10:21 |
lt's a trick! |
| 02:10:39 |
There is nobody! lt's a trick! |
| 02:10:45 |
lt's a trick. |
| 02:11:00 |
Let me kill him. |
| 02:11:03 |
No. |
| 02:11:06 |
l want him to live with his humiliation. |
| 02:12:56 |
You! |
| 02:12:58 |
Why did you not go to monastery |
| 02:13:04 |
Because l lost one man to the jungle, |
| 02:13:07 |
l was not about to let that happen again. |
| 02:13:10 |
Mem Anna not fully to blame, Father. |
| 02:13:13 |
After all, you did put me in charge. |
| 02:13:24 |
To sound English bugles in own defense. |
| 02:13:30 |
Yes. |
| 02:13:35 |
When king say handful of men |
| 02:13:38 |
he was most unusually |
| 02:13:42 |
incorrect. |
| 02:13:51 |
And it be then that all ears hear |
| 02:13:56 |
what all eyes suddenly see. |
| 02:13:59 |
Great white beast in infinite splendor! |
| 02:14:02 |
Where's the beast? |
| 02:14:06 |
Great white beast! |
| 02:14:15 |
And as people rejoice |
| 02:14:30 |
most excellent conclusion to expedition |
| 02:14:36 |
The end! |
| 02:14:50 |
Perfect! You were wonderful! |
| 02:14:52 |
Very, very good. |
| 02:14:54 |
Mem, this is play to commemorate |
| 02:14:59 |
and we make fools of selves |
| 02:15:03 |
l understand truly, Your Highness. |
| 02:15:08 |
We were duty-bound, were we not? |
| 02:15:10 |
- Were we not? |
| 02:15:13 |
l want you all to imagine next year, |
| 02:15:18 |
Then your father will be even more |
| 02:15:23 |
And you, mem? |
| 02:15:25 |
Will you be? |
| 02:15:36 |
l will always be proud ofyou, my children. |
| 02:16:02 |
l... ordered this some time ago |
| 02:16:06 |
lt's a fine example of scientific thinking, |
| 02:16:10 |
as music is mathematical in nature. |
| 02:16:14 |
Chords constructed from notes |
| 02:16:19 |
and so on, and so on. |
| 02:16:24 |
Precisely. |
| 02:16:34 |
l would like to know... why, |
| 02:16:38 |
if science can unravel |
| 02:16:43 |
why it cannot posit a solution |
| 02:16:49 |
The manner in which |
| 02:16:53 |
such new possibilities is |
| 02:16:57 |
also process of evolution. |
| 02:17:02 |
Everything in Siam has its own time. |
| 02:17:10 |
Even if king is also wanting it to be different. |
| 02:17:17 |
l still must go, Your Majesty. |
| 02:17:27 |
So, |
| 02:17:29 |
where is it you will be going? |
| 02:17:34 |
England. |
| 02:17:38 |
Home. |
| 02:17:42 |
This is good, mem. |
| 02:17:44 |
Very good for Louis as well. |
| 02:17:58 |
What? |
| 02:18:03 |
Am wondering if, |
| 02:18:06 |
given circumstances, |
| 02:18:09 |
it is appropriate |
| 02:18:13 |
for king to ask |
| 02:18:16 |
Anna |
| 02:18:18 |
to dance. |
| 02:18:25 |
l have danced with a king before, |
| 02:18:34 |
And l |
| 02:18:39 |
an Englishwoman. |
| 02:19:09 |
Until now, |
| 02:19:12 |
Madam Leonowens, |
| 02:19:16 |
l did not understand supposition |
| 02:19:20 |
man could be satisfied |
| 02:20:14 |
l was onlya boy, |
| 02:20:17 |
but the image ofmyfatherholding |
| 02:20:22 |
has remained with me throughout the years. |
| 02:20:26 |
lt is always surprising howsmalla part oflife |
| 02:20:33 |
Most often theyare overbefore theystart, |
| 02:20:37 |
although they casta light on the future |
| 02:20:40 |
and make the person |
| 02:20:46 |
Anna hadshinedsuch a light on Siam. |
