    Character Evaluation

    Julie Andrews is known as the "goddess of mercy". She has a noble temperament and a graceful figure. She demonstrates the aristocratic temperament in her gestures. Andrews, who was awarded the title of jazz, became the goddess of countless men with his " My Fair Lady " when he was young , and the wonderful performance of " The Sound of Music " conquered countless women. After experiencing a series of setbacks in life and losing his beautiful voice, Andrews, who has returned to the plain, is devoted to children's philanthropy ( ). 
    She is a movie icon and a legend. The reason I like her is that she can change this spectacular traditional Hollywood theatre, the unforgettable Hollywood sign, and then the unforgettable Broadway film mark. She performed in Broadway, West End, London. She also acts in movies. There is no audience in the world who is not intoxicated and smiling for " The Sound of Music " and " Mary Poppins ", and so am I. As everyone knows, I hate musicals, but I don’t dislike any works performed by Andrews ( ).
    Julie Andrews Edwards is a woman full of temperament, talent, courage, elegance and wisdom. She has created many unforgettable roles. Julie has always had a positive impact on my life, and continues to influence generations of people. I believe that it is of extraordinary significance to give this award to her by someone who does the same job as her ( )   .

      The wonderful musical heroine is so handsome and the supporting roles are also brilliant~

    • Deon 2022-03-25 09:01:23

      Men's Julie is dazzlingly beautiful! ! The songs are all very good, and the humorous and playful plot reveals a little director's thinking, which was rare in those days. The only fly in the ointment is that the rhythm is a little loose and procrastinated, which is also a common problem in musicals.
