Looking at Hepburn's face, I was not disappointed.
In the three-hour film, every frame is a painting, no matter the costume or the scene, it is classical and extravagant.
The storyline is very Mary Sue: Eliza, a poor and vulgar flower girl, meets the linguist Professor Higgins in a place where the rich worship, and he claims that in just three months, she can be Become a lady.
The down-and-out Eliza took this sentence to heart, put on her most decent clothes, went to the professor's house, and asked the professor to teach her a lesson. First, Higgins refused, and then because Pickering made a bet with him, for three months. Time, if it can turn her into a lady whom all the men in the city have dumped for her, Pickering is willing to bear all her expenses.
At this point, the flower girl began her difficult road of counterattack:
Start with the vowels, practice one by one, not pronounce them correctly, and do not eat.
All the servants in the house were overwhelmed, and they were all familiar with her learning content. Only Eliza was like a babbling child who couldn't speak clearly.
Just when Higgins was about to give up, she miraculously opened up.
He took her to the horse-riding competition, and she leaked the stuffing as soon as she opened her mouth.
Realizing that mannerisms were more important than accent, he began to deliberately train her speech.
Finally, at the royal gathering, she became the center of attention, dancing with the prince and was mistaken for a Hungarian princess.
Higgins, complacent about his masterpiece, rhetoric with Pickering, did not notice Eliza's mood changes, and in the day-to-day interaction she developed a secret affection for him, but he knew nothing about it. Because he's a staunch celibate who thinks women are nothing but trouble, trains her, transforms her, and initially just to win.
She left the mansion and lived alone, and Higgins spent his later years in nostalgia...
The difference between a lady and a flower girl is not the appearance, but the inside.
Eliza is undoubtedly self-loving.
She spared no effort to fight for the opportunity for change for herself, with little hope, and still did not forget to give it a try.
In the darkest moment, she also shouted in a sharp voice, I am selling flowers, not myself.
She is reluctant to be Higgins' winning tool, not only because of love, but also because of personality.
If it is said that she was a good-looking porcelain doll before, now she is like the little puppet of the old carpenter who has been injected with joy and sorrow by a witch, and has a soul.
The strong self-esteem made her unwilling to depend on Higgins, even if she was not worried about food and clothing, or even pampered, she disdain.
That sentence: "If there is no wind, the clouds will float, and I can do the same without you," which made people applaud.
The women in a musical in the 1990s are independent and independent, not dependent on men. They are role models for our generation.
There is no man worth a woman's complete abandonment of herself, stuck in the kitchen and children. The value of fertility is only one aspect and should not be magnified indefinitely. Wang's wife, Li Lianglei, is a bloody example.
Unequal love is destined to end in tragedy.
Eliza finally chose to return to Higgins's side, which was difficult to settle.
