Love Knows No Boundaries

"Love knows no boundaries, no distance, and no fear."

This is the most exciting part of the film ‘Anna and the King’ where we had witness the raveled love between King Mongkut and Anna. Their love story is considered as one of the most discussed odd couples because they came from different races. But that didn’t stop them to be attracted and became closer to each other. The king doesn’t know what really love means until he met Anna.
Princess Fa-Ying, one of King’s Mongkut’s favorite daughters suffered from Cholera, which is a deadly disease. The little princess is one of Anna’s much loved student and both of them is very close to each others. She presented Anna everyday with her own painting which brings them to establish an unconceivable bond. When the princess is going through her illness, she wanted Anna to be on her side and be the last one to see before she passes away. She is on her father’s hand and Anna is on her front while holding her last portrait for Anna. It’s really hard for them to see someone is dying and it is a very painful experience.
The difference of two nationalities is not a hindrance for their feelings. Being a Thai or a British didn’t become a barrier to love each others. The little princess loves Anna like her own mother and vise versa. On the king’s side, we see on his eyes that he’s very affected on her daughter’s death. He cried a lot that it seems he’s not a King.
On the other hand, Tuptim and Balat’s story is also included. Lady Tuptim is the prettiest brood in their family that’s why she is given to the king to be his wife. But, she has a boyfriend, and the two of them still had a secret affair and they were exchanging messages with the help of Anna. Balat assures that Tupim is happy on wherever she is right now as one of the king’s concubine. At this part, we had perceived that even though how dangerous it was and how the situation came very complicated, we cannot stop the two persons in loving. They died together because the palace finds out about their persisting affair. We also see how Anna is awfully concern on Tuptim’s situation, for the reason that the two of them differs in nationality, still, the concern is there. She even confronted the king about this; this is the part where Anna said this, “How many lives you have to sacrifice just to save your face?”

“I believe that two people are connected at the heart, and it doesn't matter what you do, or who you are or where you live; there are no boundaries or barriers if two people are destined to be together.”
