I don t know why I waited so long . . . - When I saw this film in theaters, I knew I had to have the soundtrack, well that was back in 1999 and I just NOW go around to buying it!
Great Music - This soundtrack has some of the best songs that I have ever heard. All the songs on this soundtrack are not excellent, but about half the songs are unbelievably good. They make the purchase well worth the money.
Beautiful Music - I have never seen the movie, but the soundtrack is beautiful. The first song is wonderful. The rest is great to listen to for a calming afternoon.
An unhappy love story... - When I love a movie, I usually fell in love with its music and I can t decide that whether the music made me like the movie or the movie made me like the music. Anna and the King enchanted me already when I first heard about it and I was eager to watch it. A man and a woman, from two worlds so different, yet they love each other - it sounded so sad and beautiful to me (maybe I am too romantic, but that isn t a big fault, I hope). Since then I learned that the story of the handsome Siamese king and the English governess didn t happen in real life, and that disappointed me a bit, but I still love this movie.The song How Can I Not Love You, composed by George Fenton and performed by Joy Enriquez, is a sad one about the two who mustn t love each other, yet they do. Director Andy Tennant describes it with his own words: His (George Fenton s) love theme isn t really a love theme at all... but rather a loss theme. George writes music that speaks to the tragedy of the images rather than the drama, and in that single decision lies utter genius. All the tracks are in mysterious East-style, so they give us a glimpse into that far-away world.
