Does the love between Cinderella and the prince really exist?

I suddenly saw this movie and found that Hepburn starred in it, so I clicked in and watched it. Of course, if the face of the world's most beautiful woman is absent, it is easy to see the explosion. The acting skills of the actors are also really good (forgive me for not being too good at boasting?) But as far as the movie is concerned, the love between the male and female protagonists is too unequal, and the male protagonist is too male protagonist (probably the aristocratic class at that time was like this) , want to control everything in their own hands. The heroine's journey from being a poor flower girl to being a lady who fell in love with the hero and being ridiculed by others was a difficult process. Every word and deed have to be careful and even pretend to be deliberate. I thought that the collision of these two people would make them work together to make the woman better and the man more reasonable. But in the film, the heroine is made perfect by the hero, but the hero is not tamed by the woman. (Yes, he was so "wild" before, and nothing changed in the end). At the end of the movie, the male and female protagonists had a dispute, but the male protagonist was unwilling to accept due to his own face. Fortunately, the female protagonist finally returned to the male protagonist. But the two of them have such an unequal status. In addition, their living environment is different since childhood, and their values ​​​​are also different. Can such two people really go on forever in the future? Was there really such a love affair between Cinderella and the prince in their era? The movie is very beautiful, weaving the beautiful dream of being a princess for us, but on the other hand, if Cinderella is not beautiful and obedient enough, how can the prince like her?

    [I haven't seen the series yet] It's pretty cute. The common problem with musicals is that the rhythm of the story is rather strange, and this can't be helped... The lyrics are great, but the other lines are too long-winded. The second half suddenly has nothing to do with correcting pronunciation! There is no spark between the male and female protagonists, and both of them have disgusting personalities... Hepburn played very hard.

    I think of a Taiwanese teacher who said: Don’t you know that British people are particularly discriminatory with accents, so I practice oral English and listen to the BBC every day. … (Hepburn’s acting skills in this film are described as "burst"

My Fair Lady quotes

  • Professor Henry Higgins: She's an owl, sickened by a few days of *my* sunshine.

  • Professor Henry Higgins: Mother!

    Mrs. Higgins: What is it, Henry? What's happened?

    Professor Henry Higgins: [quietly, bewildered] She's gone.

    Mrs. Higgins: Well, of course, dear, what did you expect?

    Professor Henry Higgins: What... what am I to do?

    Mrs. Higgins: Do without, I suppose.

    [pause]

    Professor Henry Higgins: And so I shall! If the Higgins oxygen burns up her little lungs, let her seek some stuffiness that suits her. She's an owl sickened by a few days of my sunshine. Very well, let her go, I can do without her. I can do without anyone. I have my own soul! My own spark of divine fire!

    [storms outs]

    Mrs. Higgins: Bravo, Eliza.
