The film "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" mainly tells the story between an idealistic female teacher and her students in Edinburgh in the 1930s. (This sentence is quoted from ****, a well-known generalization)
In my understanding, this is a story about spiritual growth, where cruelty and warmth go hand in hand.
Miss Brodie has a fanatical love for education, her famous saying "Little girls! I am in the business of putting old heads on young shoulders, and all my pupils are the creme de la creme. Give me a girl at an impressionable age and she is mine for life." Throughout the beginning and the end of the film.
Miss Brodie has integrated herself with her students. She even thinks that students should experience life like her, and experience the excitement of love and romantic feelings (including Fascicism). Based on this, it is not difficult to understand why she encouraged her students to suggest that her students would love the art teacher instead of her, and to support Fácicius to participate in the Spanish Civil War. She even unconsciously feels that she is God (Sandy said, you think you are Calvin balabala... the lines are inaccurate)
The most intense drama conflict in the film is Sandy's complaint against Miss Brodie-"You are harmful to people!". . . Among Miss Brodie's girls, Mary represents a class, completely surrendered to Miss Brodie, and the screenwriter arranged for her to die like a fool. . . And Sandy represents another category, "blue is better than blue". It happened that she made The Brodie Set with independent thinking ability (Miss Brodie’s educational ideal mentions this, but this is also one of her divisions. She thought she was like this, but in fact her actions did not implement this come out). The screenwriter arranged for her to leave school in tears and still think of Miss Brodie's famous quote. This is a sad betrayal. But she is undoubtedly the brightest hope left to the audience at the end of the film.
As I mentioned above, the brightest film is Aunt Ma. Because this story takes place in Edinburgh, Aunt Ma speaks a Scottish accent in this film. Does the Scottish accent pronounce all r as l? Her accent is so special, it's a touch of magic, she is always righteous and a little happy~ especially when she is humming, haha, so loving! Aunt Ma’s movies are not watched much (Khan, Harry, I have watched it, and the content is forgotten...), in "Room with a View", she is eloquent again (ps I hate listening to English The sound is so difficult to understand, but the English sound in this movie is one of my favorites, no two)~ So, is she also an accented genius like Aunt Mei, no matter what? Digress. . . Aunt Ma is particularly happy in this film. Not long after the film began, the scene where she was attacked by her old lover’s art teacher was very funny. After being kidnapped to the men’s room, she lied and escaped and turned back in the wrong direction, haha , So happy, I laughed. Later, she then "seduce" the music teacher to round up the panic of the "Sunday date" she just fabricated, and the blinking and blinking of her eyes is so happy! Anyway, in this film, Aunt Ma is in all kinds of sturdy scenes, joy, lyric, warm oil, anger, despair, especially the kind of lyrical feelings that are impossible to understand (including the relaxed and romantic love story telling at the beginning and when watching the slides. Dignified lyric), grabbing the audience’s attention, some people say that this is a wonderful “one-man show”~~ There is another scene that I am deeply impressed with, the surface is gentle and the inside is dark, it is Sandy’s tea at Brodie’s house. Scene. Brodie is gentle and tempting, encouraging Sandy to help inspire Jany to be a great "Lover". . . (Khan...What is the concept of sauce). . . At this time Sandy was a little jealous, she also realized Brodie's absurdity and asked the bottom line, Brodie almost couldn't handle it. . . In this scene, I think the performance of the two is really subtle and great!
Let me talk about my understanding of the story. At the beginning of the film, it was a girls' school. . . On the opening day of the new semester, all the protagonists appeared here. First, accompanied by melodious music, changing from a long-term view to a close-up view, there appeared the energetic Miss Brodie who had just returned from a trip to Italy, and then the two rivals in love. (Note: Art teacher Is it Aunt Ma’s ex-husband?) And then the innocent Miss Brodie's Girl (Pamela, who was born as a child star, seems to be nominated for Oulska for the film?), we even saw the portrait of the first principal and her famous saying, reflecting the sorrow. Out of the school spirit of girls' school. The other teachers appeared one by one during the chorus.
Then started class, Miss Bordie had harsh requirements for opening the window size. . . six inches is perfect...I don't understand it very well here, do you want to convey to the audience an impression that she has a desire to control everything? Then Miss Brodie started to meet the freshman. She satirized a freshman who showed off his honor, and praised and encouraged Mary, a simple freshman who stuttered. Here again to the audience Miss Brodie is not a snobby person, she appreciates the beautiful unadorned nature of the children. Then Miss Brodie started to take classes and explained her views on education~
Introduce her favorite painter is Giotto from Italy (only spent a moment in Giotto's life, the pioneer of the Italian Renaissance, known as the "father of European painting" , Specialized in painting religious figures? One hundred years earlier than Leonardo da Vinci. Another: Leonardo’s greatness lies in his creation and inspiring people to begin to appreciate the beauty of characters rather than gods.) Without more background knowledge in this area, I don’t know this painter. Is it implicated in the plot? Covering Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin with Gritto's painting, sarcasm about safety first (the United Kingdom should still appeasement policy in 1932, this is related to Miss Brodie's political views). . . Speaking of educational ideals... I talked about the romantic affair when I was young, (I don't know if it is a way of exchanging privacy in psychology to gain the trust of others?) The student fell over, and a student was moved to tears. . . The principal came to visit suddenly, and Miss Brodie made up a historical story. . . Was Sandy debunked by "saying one set and doing another set"? (Buying the foreshadowing of "betrayal"?) ……
Unfinished. . .
Writing here for the time being, I found that doing "movie analysis" exercises is really tiring. . .
Ah, I don’t want to write anymore, if a thing is not done right away, it can’t be done!
Finally, let me mention that I’m a fan of Lao Wang (Wilde) recently. Lao Wang has a famous saying that he likes very much. It is used in both works (seemingly "Portrait of Grindorian" and "Ideal Husband"). Yes, 囧! He said that influence does not matter whether it is good or bad. From a scientific point of view, all influences are immoral. Combined with "Miss Brodie", this, this, this. . . What a paradox of education.
