- Who's the speaking voice?
The speaking voice is The Mongkut oldest son.
- Why do you think the director choose this narrative tecnique?
I think the director worked in this way because the child had a direct contact with the king and with Anna andand he was the spectator of the story.
- Consider the discussion topics below:what are in your opinion the most important three topics below?
In my opinion the most important topics are love, conflicts between cultures and death of loved one.
- Do you agree with messages?
Yes I do. The conflict is often present in the film.The most important example is when Anna tries to make the king's son respect his punishment.
- I think Anna's problem is that she isn't able to comprehend the Siamese culture and the king's choiches. Her problem is not that she can't find an answer in Christianity.
- I agree. I think the two cultures are presented with equilibrium, without giving any judgement.
