After watching the movie, I unconsciously flipped through the pile of books by the bed, flipped through one of the magazines and read it late into the night. My brain was also dizzy from the two cups of coffee during the day, and all kinds of ideas and possible combinations were endless. The tumbling and discoloration stopped, I seemed to have found some kind of content that I wanted to convey, but I couldn't find the point of landing, so combined with this movie I just finished watching, I fell into a kind of stateless thinking. Writing a film review for years has never happened. However, I am still addicted to the introduction of natural history in the magazine. In one of the interviews with Taiwanese ecological writer Wu Mingyi, the reporter asked: "Is it a magical experience of creation?" One of Wu replied: "For decades, experts have studied The Finches of the Alabago Islands found that natural selection has no direction, sometimes floods are beneficial to the larger Finches, and sometimes droughts allow the smaller Finches to survive. Nature is not created for any living thing, it is An organism that functions after all living things are connected.” Then, from the perspective of nature, we humans are the same, no matter how many resources we occupy and how many factors that may lead to failure we avoid, but naturally we will not get what we are strong and powerful. Exceptionally, nature does not place all suffering on those who are barren and thin. There is no foolproof perfection, and there is no life that is useless. Even those who seem to be useless play the power of maintaining balance given by the creator in the link of the people who weave like silk.
Nature treats every life equally, no matter whether the monarch, ministers and ministers still need to kowtow, or whether the prince of a constitutional monarchy like the United Kingdom marries the first real commoner princess in history, and whether the upper class society really needs it Ordinary and humble people to correct the balance or insinuate, in fact, there is not so much pretentiousness, and there is no tragic servile foundation that cannot be abandoned in the bones, the balance and interspersed between classes, all have their own human nature. And the choice of self, how to find and choose, will partly depend on the differences in the personality and nature of different individuals.
This film is about how to balance self and life in a society where the class has been solidified. However, such a balance is not catharsis and complaints that put the cart before the horse. On the contrary, it requires equality. The direction of the heart and the character dictate, more means the dialogue between each other's souls. Class is actually an illusion, often like the loneliness after the stage has dissipated. What it wants more is to listen. Becoming a star assistant does not mean the fall of human nature, but it requires the support of your human nature and character. The structure of the film is like a short story. I don’t know if it’s because this is a British film, and you can always see traces of British classical literature in the film’s structure, narrative style, and the ideas it wants to convey.
Betty Gru, a female tutor who has always been rigid and followed her own principles, once again lost her job and lived on the streets, and she could only stay at the station in the early morning to organize her clothes. In the end, she could only cut off a job introduction letter that did not belong to her, and broke into the life of Delicia, a rising star in the film and music circles. The amazing thing is that Betty Guru was not humble, and Delicia was not arrogant, and even the trust and dependence of the two were completed in an instant, and Betty Gru also found himself in order not to return. The change made by wandering on the street was not as difficult as she imagined. She almost quickly entered the role of social secretary to help Delicia solve her messy life and career. Betty Gru's frantic life isn't perfect, and Delicia is surrounded by three different men: the club owner who provides her with a decent material life, the son of a playwright who could make her a star, and the other. One is a poor pianist who can collaborate with her. It seems that she has many choices, but it means that she has no choice.
Betty Guru has a beautiful transformation of Cinderella, but she also finds that in order to hide her identity, she needs to constantly sell her bottom line of principles, and at the same time she needs to help Delicia deceive the playwright's son , hide the club owner, even need to smoke to swear. But only when she faced the poor pianist Mike did she dare to reveal her true identity, not only because the two had met each other by chance, but also from the intimacy of the same class. Perhaps because of her unchanging self-esteem and rigid moral principles, she has also become a fresh and fresh current in the upper class. Although this makes her feel inferior and deny herself, in the end, she still finds herself unable to abandon her principles. Living in this illusion, and Delicia also saw her heart clearly in the brief time with Betty Gru, and in a song "If I Don't Care", she realized that the star's life style cannot replace love and life. In itself, although she has always wanted to leave her identity as a miner, this is not the whole of life.
Only then did I discover that whether it is "upward" or "downward", it has nothing to do with class, but only with your true heart. The balance of classes sometimes comes from thinking under the premise of equality. Delicia chose Mike, a poor pianist, to go to New York. Betty Gru had no choice but to help Delicia's friend get her boyfriend back, but at the same time, she gained upper-class love at the station in the early morning after she lost her job again.
In the singing, when Betty Gru looked at Delicia, who was standing on the stage singing with a trembling heart, there were two souls approaching, classless self-consciousness and indifference, and the self-respect built there was loud and loud Self-love and self-confidence, no provocative gestures, no arrogant arrogance. If class separates us from each other, but self-esteem is something that everyone has and cannot be ignored or challenged.
At the end of the movie, that scene is one of my favorites, Betty Glow is still wearing a fancy dress, but she has the original coat over her coat, and she only found out when she was sitting alone on a station bench, the past 24 hours Because of her nervousness, she almost didn't eat anything. At this moment, she saw an apple that had been bitten on the ground by the fence. She walked up to it, but was swept away by the cleaner. , when disappointed she saw Joe across the fence. At that time, I finally reaffirmed that only a person with self-respect and self-love can jump over the gap of class and become an independent and equal life.
