Dilemma

"Funny Girl" steals a lot from this. Compared with the 37th edition, the longer duration makes the characters fuller, but it is inevitably lengthy, and the number of songs is not much relative to this volume, but there are still a few "unnecessary" (even this is also learned by "Funny Girl". past). Seeing the second version, I am more and more confused about the position of the heroine in the last line of her own identity. Is it a vassal or the eternity of love? The setting of men and women is quite interesting. The male protagonist is the heroine's life mentor and also an obstacle to his career. The heroine's behavior is mostly driven by the male protagonist's behavior. I wonder if the 18th edition will have a change in the spirit of the times in the new era.

    Norman Maine: There are certain pleasures you get, little-little jabs of pleasure when a swordfish take a hook, or-or when you see a great fighter get in right for the kill, see?

    Norman Maine: You don't understand a word I'm saying, do you?

    Esther Blodgett: No, not yet. Why don't you try bullfights?
