last night watched a movie -Anna and The King..A story of two people from different world who share the one extraordinary moment.

Anna, an English schoolteacher in Siam(Thailand). She does not understand THE Thai's culture.Thai ppl put their king as a god,  they're are fear of their king.The king's pressure, the sub-class between a man and a woman,between master and servant, between father and the child, however they can't crossing the class divide, causing many barriers and tragedy. I admire Anna, she is brave and dare to voice out.
And... the shadow of Thai culture, that all beings suffer for granted. The tragedy of their destiny,they tend to not seek to explain the source of pain, nor against the suffering,how sad :( , what they can do is tolerate and patience.Though they very look forward to their next life but then this life is completely powerless. :(
also, the ppl fear of the dead wandering the soul world, so they can't show the mourn of the death of individuals :( jus like one part of the scene, Anna used to follow the custom when she have to face the little princess's death, she followed the Thai custom by holding back pain cry(I cried when the little girl is going to die T_T), but this at least shows Anna's humane and her love to respect life.
After watching this, compared to the fate of Thai's traditional, I think Anna 's life is more interpersonal warmth.
