Sitting in front of the TV and flipping through the stage at will, to see what good movies are there, I saw the English name "Educating Rita" of "Ordinary Women". In the film, Rita is bored and has no direction in her current life, so she decides to go to school to study literature and find her true self to enrich herself. She is actually a confused woman, unwilling to give birth to a child and godchild beside her husband like this, she wants to change herself and change her life. In the process of studying with Professor Frank, I encountered many difficulties: the work is too heavy and there is no time, my literary skills are too shallow, and my family does not understand. But she finally persevered with the help of Professor Frank. It was Professor Frank who gave her the confidence and courage to improve her spiritual level after constant attempts and failures.
In the film, when Rita's mother said "We should sing a better song" in the bar, Rita could feel her mother's dissatisfaction with her current spiritual life. Rita's father persuaded Rita to have a baby at a relative's wedding, saying that Rita's mother was three months pregnant before she got married. I believe this is also one of the reasons why Rita doesn’t want to get pregnant and have children. Before her mother had much contact with the society, she was too early to be bound by her family before she started the life she wanted, especially when she married a man she didn’t love. Tower doesn't want to repeat her mother's mistakes. Rita's decision to leave her husband who has been married for 6 years is also a decision that requires courage. It's not that Rita doesn't love her husband. From their exchanges in the film, it can be seen that they still have feelings, but she chooses when she is living in the family and looking for herself. the latter. Although in the end, when Professor Frank asked her about her future plans, she herself said that she might have a child in the future, or go to France, or continue her studies, but she hadn't made up her mind yet. But after all, she has more choices, and she will not be told to have a child by her ears like before, and the road of life will be broad and clear because of her changes. All this is due to Professor Frank's careful teaching to her. Rita is actually a witty and intelligent woman. Professor Frank also cared about her life and psychological changes during the teaching process, which made her regain her confidence in herself.
Regarding the film, I would like to say that the inexplicable ambiguous feelings that gradually developed between Professor Frank and Rita at the end can actually be felt by the audience, but at the end of the film, it was not as I thought, and even this relationship was not mentioned. Come out, so obscure. It's just that in the end, when Rita went to the airport to take Professor Frank to Australia, they hugged for a long time and didn't want to part, and when their eyes were full of tears, they were very strong. Their reluctance was so obvious that I thought Professor Frank would be affectionate with Rita. A kiss, stay or leave together at the end, (maybe I've seen too many happy ending love fairy tales) but Professor Frank turned around and walked to the boarding gate and left here. Maybe they all know that this is a kind of relationship that will not have results... Maybe they have to chase after something more important to them... Who knows? There are many kinds of feelings, love is strong and profound, Unforgettable is as gorgeous as fireworks, but it may not last long. Compared with the luxury of love, the friendship between teachers and students may be more stable and lasting, deep and heavy, and long-lasting. This kind of ending is also more real and tends to be life-like.
The rhythm of the whole film is not fast. For me, a person who prefers European and American commercial blockbusters, I almost have no patience to watch it. (This kind of literary film is fast-forward to watch) and the ending is not the specific happy ending that I have always liked. But it is precisely because of its unhurried rhythm that I can savor the character's psychological transformation process and understand the character's thoughts. Although they were not together in the end, Rita looked back at the boarding gate reluctantly when she left, but she left firmly in the end, because she knew that her life in the true sense has just begun, and there are still many things in the future. Waiting for her, she left with a grateful heart and full of hope...
