I re-opened the movie today, and it has a special sense of memory. I remember when I first watched it in high school, the whole class sat together in the classroom. I can't remember some specific details at that time, such as who was sitting next to me, whether it was night or day, etc., but the moment Hepburn came out wearing a dress, the surprise of the whole class remained in their consciousness, and everyone was shocked by her. of beauty and stature. Of course, there is also the phrase "The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain." It's not too familiar. I remember that after watching this movie, Niu kept repeating this sentence for a while, which is really memorable. There will always be some people who break in in life. It is inevitable that they will change our original life, but it may not be a good thing, just like Eliza and Higgins' mutual fulfillment. The two were eventually tied together by countless "I'm used to...". As for the previous life, it's not bad, there's nothing to compare the two, it's just that the fate between you and that life has come to an end, a new journey has begun, and of course it may also become the past, saying Maybe forever.

My Fair Lady quotes

  • Professor Henry Higgins: Eliza, you are to stay here for the next six months, learning to speak beautifully, like a lady in a florist's shop. If you work hard and do as you're told, you shall sleep in a proper bedroom, have lots to eat, and money to buy chocolates and go for rides in taxis. But if you are naughty and idle, you shall sleep in the back kitchen amongst the black beetles, and be walloped by Mrs. Pearce with a broomstick. At the end of six months you will be taken to Buckingham Palace, in a carriage, beautifully dressed. If the king finds out you are not a lady, you will be taken to the Tower of London, where your head will be cut off as a warning to other presumptuous flower girls! But if you are not found out, you shall have a present... of, ah... seven and six to start life with as a lady in a shop. If you refuse this offer, you will be the most ungrateful, wicked girl, and the angels will weep for you.

  • Eliza Doolittle: [singing] Lots of chocolate for me to eat! / Lots of coal makin' lots of heat / Warm face, warm hands, warm feet / Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?
