The splendid day of middle-aged Cinderella is a

big drink and a drink. This film is a popcorn-like food. Although it is not a masterpiece, it can make you watch it with a smile on your face.

The title of the film is "Miss Pettigrew's Big Day", and it is derived from the content that it is a day when a middle-aged Cinderella changes her destiny. Miss Pattigrew came from the Great Depression in London in the late 1930s, when the times were unstable, war and economic decline made her live in fear and trembling. Her job is said to be a tutor, but most of the time she is a babysitter and a cleaner, and because she came from a priest's family's strict moral values, she is not used to the behavior of the owner, and it is difficult to change according to the owner's wishes. , so I was dismissed by several families in a row. Actress Frances McDormand's father also happens to be a Canadian pastor.

Living on the street, with no tiles to cover, no money, only a suit of clothes and a pair of shoes, and a small bowl of porridge was knocked over just after picking up a small bowl of porridge at the rescue station. However, the way the film is handled is not handled like "Les Miserables", but with a light comedy color, it is swept away lightly, and has the same melody as Dvorak's "Humorous Song". The filming of this film was all filmed in expensive London, and the miserable storm at the beginning of the film is the real cold of London.

When I went to the job agency due to its poor reputation, I was also refused to introduce another job opportunity. I accidentally saw a business card, and in a hurry, I came forward and recommended myself. The moment the door opened, Miss Pettigrew must have felt as if she was illuminated by a patch of sunlight, and at the same time opened the door to a world of flowers. Miss LaForce is bright, delicate, enthusiastic, flustered and confused, she is a beautiful woman who is dealing with three men, waiting for a chance to become famous. As soon as Pattigrew entered the door, the emergency began to help her clean up the mess. Miss Celebrity is a lovely and beautiful woman, and the reason why she is said to be cute is because she is confused - the social secretary is hired only because her rival has a social secretary, and she should have one, although she doesn't know the social secretary what is. Vanity but kind-hearted, not difficult to serve, very generous.

"I've never spoken swear words, even consciously. Swear words mean hopelessness."
"Oh, yes? I'm a desperate person, and I feel hopeless all the time."
"I take morals very seriously, Miss LaForce, I'm a priest's daughter."
"Poor boy"
"No, it was a perfect experience, thank you. But I think now, maybe a little bit protected. That's great."

And Pattigrew also showed her tolerance, calmness, dignity, some moral principles that she adhered to as a conservative woman, and an older, A heartfelt reminder and care from an experienced woman to another young woman.

Miss LaForce faced three men, and it was time to make a choice. And these three men are not perfect, Phil is a rich second-generation, beautiful playboy, dealing with multiple female stars; Nich is a businessman, providing food, clothing, housing, and transportation for young girls, with a strong desire to control, and also in the relationship between men and women. Not a fuel efficient lamp; Michael is good in every way, handsome, gentleman, can play the piano, respectful of women, passionate, even Pettigrew would have liked Miss LaForce to be with him, but poor.

Get a gorgeous apartment and an enviable job with Nick. With Phil, there's a better place on the West End stage and a chance to star. And with Michael "I'll have the best friend." "Is that all?" "He's still passionate. You know what I'm thinking? Michael is the one." But beyond that? Who says I'm going to find a hateful husband now? "Life isn't everything. There are times when you have to make choices. Otherwise you're bound to miss something."

Pettigrew doesn't understand LaForce's vanity and blames him, and LaForce loses his temper at Pettigrew for the first time. "I'm single and I'm not an expert in love, but I'm a lack of love," said Pattigrew. "And I really want to save you from a fate like mine." LaForce to Patty Gru confided, "My dad was a steelworker, and that's all I have, and two dozen shoes. You know how close I am to nothing, despite all these beautiful rooms and fashion gigs. Everyday I wake up thinking, if I take one wrong step, I will end up on the street, with no clothes, no food, no job, and no friends, back to that ordinary and older sarah grubb. My real name is sarah , only Michael knows, and he'll never blame me for it."

An aerial maneuver culminated in the story, with both men hiding under the piano at the same time, and Pettigrew recounting his experience to LaForce. "Don't waste every second of your precious life. Once, I too had pursuits, not as great as yours, but simple pursuits, marriage, children and own house. But he died and was buried in French soil On, a nice, dependable man, if you saw him, you would definitely call him a boring guy, but whenever you saw me, he was smiling. We could have spent a lifetime together. Your heart should know How to do Dressy, believe it, because life is short."

Since it is a light comedy, the ending is naturally happy, LaForce and the pianist went to New York to open up a new world, and Pattigrew moved a lingerie designer The heart of the teacher, "He designs beautiful things. There are few men who really appreciate the body of women like him. It doesn't matter what you wear, he can see through the clothes, the real woman." The

real movie is based on the novel " "Assistant to the Star" by Winifred Watson, a housewife who worked as a typist for a while, she said, "My employer never gave me a job, and one day he asked me to wear some wool. I did the work, so I wrote the whole novel in the office." However, after the novel was written, it was repeatedly rejected by the publishing house. The behavior of the female stars in the novel was called indecent. It wasn't until 2000, when Winifred Watson was in her 90s, that the work was discovered and became the best-selling literary novel, even the publishers claimed it was an incredible phenomenon. Nefred Watson dies.

Persephone, who published this novel, is also worth a book, and its orientation can be seen from the name of the publishing house - Persephone is an ancient Greek goddess, and its publishing standard is very special, which is "dedicated to discovering Promote the works of British female writers of the last century that have been discontinued, mainly novels, memoirs, and cooking books.” The potential readers it targets are those who can truly appreciate the comfort and pleasure of words and who can keenly explore the life beauty and enjoy it.
