Tuptim is restrained when she breaks character during their play for the British ambassadors to implore the king to longer own slaves. She is restrained again later after she was caught during an escape attempt so the king could beat her.

No "hate speech", but there's a 15 minute ballet of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" using a theatre mask as blackface for the character of Uncle Tom. Also, Yul Brynner is in yellowface for the entire movie.
