Title: insulting to Thai monarchy
Review: I live in Siam. Have seen this movie in US theatres.It is banned in Siam as being insulting to King Mongkut(The king Rama IV). Historically inaccuate, It portrays Anna as having an influence on the king which is simply not true! She was nothing more than a tutor for Mongkut's son(Chulalongkorn Rama V) who succeeded his father as King and is generally regarded here as a combination George Washingon, Abraham Lincoln. Anna upon leaving the Royal Court here exagerated her importance for self agrandizment Also the movies portrayal of the Kings devotions to Lord Buddha is insulting to Buddhism. In Thailand all the kings are highly regarded and can easily earn jail time for Less majesty for anything derogatory about the monarchy or Buddhism. I've ordered it to show my Thai friends for their oppinion. Hopping it will make it through customs.I guess historical accuracy is not important as long as it sells tickets!!
