Anna and the King of Siam (film)
Anna and the King of Siam is a 1946 drama film directed by John Cromwell.
An adaptation of the 1944 novel of the same name by Margaret Landon, it was based on the fictionalized diaries of Anna Leonowens, an Anglo- Indian woman who claimed to be British and became governess in the Royal Court of Siam( now modern Thailand) during the 1860s.
Darryl F. Zanuck read Landon's book in galleys and immediately bought the film rights.
The story mainly concerns the culture clash of the Imperialist Victorian values of the British Empire with the supposedly autocratic rule of Siam's King Mongkut.
The successful film starred Rex Harrison as the king and Irene Dunne as Anna.
At the 19th Academy Awards ceremony, the film received two Oscars; for Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction( Lyle R. Wheeler, William S. Darling, Thomas Little, Frank E. Hughes).
Also nominated were Bernard Herrmann for the score, the screenwriters and supporting actress Gale Sondergaard.
Landon's novel was later adapted by Rodgers and Hammerstein for their 1951 stage musical" The King and I" and subsequent 1956 film of the same name.
American film director Andy Tennant remade the film in 1999 as" Anna and the King" with Jodie Foster and Chow Yun- fat.
The portrayal of Tuptim in" Anna and the King of Siam" is considerably less sympathetic than in the musical version" The King and I", as the 1946 film shows animosity between Tuptim and Anna, while the musical makes her into a romantic character.
Also, Tuptim is ultimately executed cruelly by the king, following an episode in Leonowens's book, while in the musical her fate is made ambiguous.
The King and I (1956 film)
The King and I is a 1956 American musical film made by 20th Century Fox, directed by Walter Lang and produced by Charles Brackett and Darryl F. Zanuck.
The screenplay by Ernest Lehman is based on the Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II musical" The King and I", based in turn on the novel" Anna and the King of Siam" by Margaret Landon.
That novel in turn was based on memoirs written by Anna Leonowens, who became school teacher to the children of King Mongkut of Siam in the early 1860s.
Leonowens' stories were autobiographical, although various elements of them have been called into question.
The film stars Deborah Kerr and Yul Brynner.
The film was a critical and commercial success, and was nominated for 9 Oscars, winning 5, including Best Actor for Brynner.
Another film adaptation of the same musical, the animated film" The King and I", was released in 1999.
Cook County (film)
Cook County is a 2008- 2009
American independent drama film written, directed, and produced by the Houston based filmmaker David Pomes.
The film stars Anson Mount, Xander Berkeley, and Ryan Donowho and deals with the effects of the addiction to the drug methamphetamine on a Texas family.
In an interview appearing on indiewire.com,
Pomes stated:" The story began about people who I have been around, living outside of civilization, out in the woods, down a dirt road with all the old stereotypes: the roof caving in and the tires in the front yard.
The story is about that group of people, and the family trying to be a family in the backwoods environment.
Crystal meth was always out there.
I was never at any crystal meth parties or anything like that, but there were always people where I lived outside of Houston.
Those are the characters in the film, but crystal meth really drives the story.
It's the vehicle."
Not having direct contact with crystal meth addicts, Pomes read widely on the subject of drug addiction.
Explained Pomes in an interview for" Filmmaker Magazine I did a ton of research.
Mostly just through the Internet, through magazine articles and things of that nature.
I did a lot.
There is so much out there.
People on meth like to talk about it.
They like to take about the process of making it, the problems they have with it.
There are tons of blogs out there, websites, people write songs and poetry about it[ laughs].
Not in a good way necessarily, or a glorifying way, but just how it ’s affected there lives.
There ’s recipes out there, you do n’t just have to make it one way.
There ’s a bunch of different ways to do it.
We found lots of pictures of people on meth and meth labs and used those to inspire us a bit for wardrobe, makeup, art direction, the general aesthetic of the movie."
