Anna and the King

:01:03

[Crowd Noise]

:01:36

King Chulalongkorn:
She was the first Englishwoman

:01:38

I had ever met,

:01:40

and it seemed to me she knew more
about the world than anyone,

:01:43

but it was a world Siam
was afraid would consume them.

:01:49

The monsoon winds had whispered
her arrival like a coming storm.

:01:53

Some welcomed the rain,
but others feared a raging flood.

:01:59

Still, she came,

:02:01

unaware of the suspicion
that preceded her.

:02:05

But it wasn't until years later that I
began to appreciation how brave she was.

:02:09

And how alone
she must've felt.

:02:14

An Englishwoman,

:02:16

the fiirst I'd ever met.

:02:20

[Shouting
ln Siamese]

:02:34

Mother, come look.
I think they've killed someone!

:02:37

Louis, do take care
about the railing, honey.

:02:39

Beebe, Moonshee,
gather your things.

:02:41

It's time we went ashore now.
Come on, Louis.

:02:43

I still think that we should wait
until someone from the palace arrives.

:02:47

Yes, well, if they were coming,
they would've been here already.

:02:49

- Besides, the ship is leaving.
- My point exactly.

:02:58

Good-bye, Mrs. Leonowens.
Uh, watch your step.
