I don't disagree about the approach to filming THE KING AND I, but I don't have a problem with it. I'm aware that others find the adaptation stage-bound or "not cinematic," but I really disagree.

The Act I finale is a perfect example. We see the scene from two different angles -- first a long shot, then a much tighter shot focusing in on Anna and the King. The two different angles make the scene as cinematic as it needs to be, in my opinion.

What would you have done to make it more cinematic? Cut back and forth to individual close-ups of Anna and the King during the scene? Cuts to shots of both of them as seen from a different angle, rather than head on? I don't think either of those choices would have improved the scene, and probably would have made it less effective.
