In the afterlife, are you willing to choose to be a princess?

The video of Roman Holiday was given to us by the English teacher in class, and everyone sat together to watch it attentively. After reading it, I remembered a sentence of the heroine with a strong voice: Thank you! That is what she is used to saying, which makes people feel his kindness and innocence. Although she has beauty, status, and wealth, she has lost her freedom, love, and happiness. This is the reason for her sadness. She has the responsibility to all the people, but who understands her and tolerates her.
I can't help thinking: how many people envy her supreme rights and luxurious life, how many people sympathize with her sorrow and her loneliness, and how many people sigh the helplessness of life.
Therefore, I would like to say to those who are jealous: Don’t be greedy for a moment of infatuation and let life become emptiness and dimness. Only with love in your heart will your heart be warmed forever; I want to say to those who are patient and helpless, face reality calmly, Your sacrifice will bring happiness to more people, thus earning their respect and gratitude. Your life, on the other hand, is full of abundance.
No need to sigh, just smile, now can you answer my question: in the afterlife, would you choose to be a princess?

    A classic, no Annie after Hepburn, never to be surpassed.

    When I was young, I didn't feel it, but when I read it in middle age, I found this story very moving. Most of the plot is indeed cliché, but the sublimation of the ending scene does bring the film to a level worthy of a screen classic. In my opinion this is not (or mainly not) a coming-of-age story about love or regretful beauty, but about finding a better side of yourself. At first, the princess only regarded her responsibilities as a shackle, until she met the male protagonist 'selfless' who sacrificed to achieve her desire, and gradually felt guilty for abandoning the nation. Finally, since returning to her was a personal choice, she knew the meaning and meaning of it. Take responsibility more confidently at the price. At the beginning, the male protagonist only regards the princess as a means of getting reward. In getting along with the princess, he is ashamed of cheating the trust of the other party because of the goodwill and sincerity of the princess. He also makes a more legitimate choice so that he can stand upright and face the princess when they meet again. Because both of them want to preserve the beauty of their experiences, in the end, they both try to be the better version of themselves that the other sees in order to fulfill the other's imagination. Even if it starts with an illusory ideal, what kind of world you see will be what kind of world it will be fulfilled
