Not only to be a beautiful woman, but also to be an attractive woman

The heroine is not beautiful, but the charm she exudes is truly unparalleled. Smart, independent, persistent.

What does it mean to be a successful teacher? Her students trust her, support her, and miss her.

Although she was resisted by most students from the first class, she didn't explain anything, she didn't force anything, she just used her own way and adhered to her own principles, like a queen, to complete herself with great dignity duty of. Perhaps it is this unquestionable attitude that affects her students, letting them know that she does not compromise on anything, nor does she shake her original intention for any attitude of the students.

After seeing her quarrel with the principal, she was thinking, what decision will she make in the end? According to her character, she will definitely not stay; but what about so many students who like her? However, she still chose to leave, uncompromising, unsubmissive, to pursue her truth and her dream.

As for her emotional path, I have to say that she is indeed a perfectionist, but that's what makes her so fascinating, isn't it?

If it is said that she is too extreme and wants others to live according to her way, it may be right. Although she is a perfectionist, it does not deny that she is not a perfect person.

Know that perfectionism is itself an imperfection.

    "Mona Lisa's Smile" can be said to be the female version of "Dead Poets Society" in terms of plot settings. However, after digging deeper, it is still slightly worse than "Dead Poets Society". Even so, in terms of education, the two films still have many similarities. They also adhere to their own ideals and beliefs, opening up another world for students!

Mona Lisa Smile quotes

  • [about Vincent van Gogh]

    Katherine Watson: He painted what he felt, not what he saw. People didn't understand, to them it seemed childlike and crude. It took years for them to recognize his actual technique. To see the way his brush strokes seemed to make the night sky move. Yet, he never sold a painting in his lifetime. This is his self-portrait. There's no camouflage, no romance. Honesty. Now, sixty years later, where is he?

    Giselle Levy: Famous.

    Katherine Watson: So famous, in fact, that everybody has a reproduction. There are post cards...

    Connie Baker: We have the calendar.

    Katherine Watson: you go. With the ability to reproduce art, it is available to the masses. No one needs to own a van Gogh original, they can paint their own. Van Gogh in a box, ladies! The newest form of mass-distributed art; paint by numbers.

    Connie Baker: [reading from the box] "Now everyone can be van Gogh. It's so easy. Just follow the simple instructions and in minutes, you're on your way to being an artist."

    Giselle Levy: Van Gogh by numbers?

    Katherine Watson: Ironic, isn't it? Look at what we have done to the man who refused to conform his ideals to popular taste. Who refused to compromise his integrity. We have put him in a tiny box and asked you to copy him.

  • Betty Warren: You don't believe in withholding, do you?

    Katherine Watson: No. I do, however, believe in good manners. But for you, I'll make an exception.
