Rationalist

The heroine is a typical idealist, fascinated by history, can't distinguish reality, doesn't understand politics, but crazily worships the Nazis. Franco is a person who emphasizes superhumanism.
She is in a mess in real life and doesn't look at people.
She is a quirky old maiden who knows how to deal with things, and her choice of political direction ended in failure.

She is an idealist who has been harmed by literature. She lives in her own fantasy. She fantasizes about changing the world like a hero, but she doesn’t understand at all. In this world,

I think she chooses to be a teacher in an aristocratic school, it should be just to change the world, because then those people accept her point of view, they will have a high position in the future, they will change the world

but she failed, her students It’s not a realistic idealist who opposes her pulling her off the horse, or a stupid person who can’t distinguish people who blindly believe in her. She still has some feminism in her body, but she was slapped by reality. What the painter cares about is not her mind but her softness. In

the end, the group of students didn’t seem to be denying her. Some of them might indeed be changed by her, and they would follow her in the future, such as the

portrait of Jenny’s school. In a small society, she is like a projection of an influential figure, worshipped, followed, and trampled down. In
that era, many people like this may have emerged during the period of change. The film did not confirm or deny this kind of people,
but the last shot, I can see that their influence is endless

    In this way, the girl completed her own growth, took the teacher's strengths, and removed the dross. It is the painter and this girl who really understand the fascinating and shortcomings of the female teacher. Those who oppose you may be the ones who really understand you. This female teacher makes me have to think of Leni Tafenstahl.

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie quotes

  • Jean Brodie: [after Miss Mackay has read a supposedly incriminating letter, written by Sandy and Jenny] There's very little for me to say, Miss Mackay in the face of your extraordinary prejudice and hostility.

    Miss Mackay: Miss Brodie, I am not asking you to say anything. I am asking... demanding... that you put your signature, your own signature, on a letter of resignation which I have prepared for you.

    Jean Brodie: I will not resign.

    Miss Mackay: If you will not resign, you will force me to dismiss you.

    Jean Brodie: I will not resign and you will not dismiss me, Miss Mackay. You will not use the excuse of that pathetic, that humorous document to blackmail me! Mr. Lowther, you are a witness to this. Miss Mackay has made totally unsupported accusations against my name and yours. If she has one authentic shred of evidence, just one, let her bring it forth! Otherwise, if one more word of this outrageous calumny reaches my ears, I shall sue! I shall take Miss Mackay to the public courts and I shall sue the trustees of Marcia Blaine, if they support her. I will not stand quietly by and allow myself to be crucified by a woman whose fetid frustration has overcome her judgment! If scandal is to your taste, Miss Mackay, I shall give you a feast!

    Miss Mackay: Miss Brodie!

    Jean Brodie: I am a teacher! I am a teacher, first, last, always! Do you imagine that for one instant I will let that be taken from me without a fight? I have dedicated, sacrificed my life to this profession. And I will not stand by like an inky little slacker and watch you rob me of it and for what? For what reason? For jealousy! Because I have the gift of claiming girls for my own. It is true I am a strong influence on my girls. I am proud of it! I influence them to be aware of all the possibilities of life... of beauty, honor, courage. I do not, Miss Mackay, influence them to look for slime where it does not exist! I am going. When my class convenes, my pupils will find me composed and prepared to reveal to them the succession of the Stuarts. And on Sunday, I will go to Cramond to visit Mr. Lowther. We are accustomed, bachelor and spinster, to spend our Sundays together in sailing and walking the beaches and in the pursuit of music. Mr. Lowther is teaching me to play the mandolin. Good day, Miss Mackay.

  • Jean Brodie: I am truly in my prime.
