I am watching The King and I , last time I saw this was decades ago
omg,
this is a battle of the sexes story, which is always fun
but the representations of culture are quite … embarrassing
all I can think of is that’s not how royalty works and the accents and dances etc are 😬
that she was a brave Victorian woman, of whom there were many
and the king and court were very wise in anticipating and handling Western imperialism and influence
4 hobbits, also I love how in the 40s and 50s so many movies were set in other countries and cultures, now we seem stuck in the West
