Although the beginning of the film feels boring, the unfolding of the story is surprising. I think the flower girl in the film is essentially different from other lower-class people, because she has her own ideas to change herself, and eventually she finds a way to change herself.

Regarding the love in the article, at the end, he was slowly amused by the professor. He is the kind of man who looks good. Although there are always all kinds of unpleasant thoughts and theories at the beginning, who can say that he was not moved by this flower girl who he despised?

As a woman, I am more determined that I should be strong. For example, why the professor in the film is biased against women, one of the reasons is like what he said, "Why can't women be like men". In the society at that time, women's own "depreciation" of themselves made their status underground.

But then I thought about who the professor liked, if he didn’t transform this person, he would still sneer at her, saying that he loved her skin but I didn’t take it seriously, because in the end, her soul was also obtained. Sublimated.

Finally... a strong confession of Hepburn!

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?
