The King and I (the movie) and etcetera,etcetera and etc.

Our class watched a movie during IELTS class this afternoon and the movie is called the "The King and I." Surprisingly the story was set in Siam (now Thailand) in 1894. We learnt to pronounce "Siam" the English way which is "See-AM" from Ms Eliza. It was funny. The story is about how a British teacher went to Siam to teach the royal children and wives (Yes, in plural! His majesty has about 87 children and is expecting 5 more!) of the king about western ideas and English. Apparently, she did more than that and even manage to win the utmost respect of the King of Siam whose name I cannot recall as his majesty was always refered as "your majesty" throughout the two hours and half show. I find the storyline quite interesting as it is filled with punchlines, jokes and etcetera, etcetera and etc. (Ha...ha...ha!) My friends and I do not like the classical songs though.
Ms Anna, who was the main character was a strong, no-nonsense and determine woman. She adapted herself to a foreign country easily. Moreover, she even manage to save the monarchy kingdom from being taken over by enemies by convincing the king to do the right things by making the king believe that it was his own ideas! I also love the royal children who are always eager to learn new things. The part where the little princess read a message to Ms Anna so she would not leave, was touching. Awww...So cute. Undeniably, the character that I like the most and probably of my friends as well is...the King himself! His majesty was so funny trying to be serious and his line "etcetera, etcetera, etc." was the most memorable line of all. He is really a good king trying his best to learn about modern ideas so that his country would remain strong without compromising on his traditional roots. It was hard for him but he finally succeeded but died at the ending of the story.
In short, this is a wonderful which touches about the different ideas and customs of the east and the west in the 1900s when the two cultures clashes and began to assimilate in Southeast Asean countries. From this story too, I learnt that the most important thing is to try our best and that being a teacher is one of the best and most respected occupation in the world regardless of one's status, skin colour and etcetera, etcetera and etc.
