The beginning of reality, the end of fairy tales.
At first I hated that flower girl. She's vulgar, low, like every nasty bottom person. But when she went to the professor to learn to speak, I changed my mind about her. She's just a joke to the professor, but she finds a way out of class and clings to it. She still behaved vulgarly, but I saw her self-esteem and self-love for herself.
When she came back from the banquet, watching the professor and friends touting each other and completely ignoring her, and the last person kneeling on the ground and lying on the sofa crying silently, at that moment I thought she was amazingly beautiful.
The vulgar woman who used to yell, eventually became a slender lady who didn't even want to cry. Even though she was dressed in brocade clothes, she was still a poor and lowly flower girl.
From that moment on I hated the professor. The professor made her a beautiful woman with a thought and a soul that made princes fall in love with her, but she still dared to keep telling her to be the little girl who was wasted in the world. It's cruel to give her a soul, then destroy her, the professor who uses Eliza as a puppet.
The story behind is even better. Eliza can no longer fit into her past life. The shameless father, thanks to the professor, became a rich man and married his lover who looked down on him.
I was happy to see Eliza leave with passion. It's not bad to marry the son-in-law who pursues her.
In the end, I never expected that Eliza would finally choose Professor. I got really pissed at the professor's line that belittles women, that self-righteous attitude, that arrogant arrogance. Even the professor's mother is a wise woman. Why does the professor discriminate against women so much and doesn't understand women at all?
Seeing the final dialogue between Eliza and the professor I really think the best ending is for Eliza to leave the professor and start a new life instead of being a caged bird again.
But there is no way, who made the director a man. Most men only speak from their own standpoint.
And the rhythm of the film is too slow, about two hours of a three-hour film is singing and dancing. I'm tired from watching songs and dances too much, and I feel like the movie has been extended indefinitely...
After searching My Fair Lady, I saw the profile of a straight man: The flower girl was transformed into a lady by a language professor.
This introduction made me cringe. The purpose of Eliza's relationship with the professor is to improve herself and live a better life by her own efforts. She is a positive and good girl. This profile makes it sound as if Eliza wanted to teach sugar daddy...
I think the best introduction should be: the story of a poor and mean woman who eventually grows into a thoughtful and independent woman.
