You're a lady now.

I didn’t write a short review until the second time. Generally speaking, the artistry and drama of the work are far greater than the reality. The clues of practical problems are relatively scattered, and you need to find them yourself.

There are also many people who think that Hepburn is not suitable for acting as a flower girl, but in fact I think Hepburn has played very well. It is almost impossible for a person to coexist with extreme market and elegant temperament. The short-term transformation of people is extremely tense and dramatic. It is indeed difficult to convince people, but this problem is also realistically handled in the film. Eliza's accent changes before and after the dance, and her conversation with the professor or Freddy's, is very reasonable compared to her character ideas and class differences before her transformation. Overall, there is a lot of tension and a distinct personality.

But Mr. Professor is really interesting, and it is also because the actor has substituted Mr. Professor into some charms that are relatively detached from the original work. Mr. Professor and his arrogance, he was born in the upper class and is sophisticated in the world, but his character is still arrogant to Eliza, but he is straightforward and direct, and has a childish temper. He can get angry and speak loudly. The freedom you see is a departure from the principles of the outside world. For Eliza's idea, Mr. Professor's brain circuit appears single and pale (why can't women become like men), which is completely different from the image produced by identity, and the character's character becomes full because of this conflict. He didn't want to face the fact that he had fallen in love with Eliza, he didn't want to go to her, he spoke nasty things to her and satirized her with extreme force to make her angry, and he spoke harshly to his mother and asked her what to do. On the road, I also thought, "You will not get good results when you marry him", this is love! ! I love it just like a child! ! ! You see him being so arrogant, despising women, unwilling to get married, humorous and witty, loves freedom, and only loves his own free life, but he still falls in love with women! !

He is also broken and incomplete, he doesn't know respect, but his true heart is a person who will seriously think about what the other person is saying, good! Can! Love! Isn't it!

I don't think it's just a happy ending. On the contrary, I think the ending is very reasonable. To a certain extent, they fit together, and they are gears that can be stuck together. They can see each other! Eliza knows that Mr. Professor is stubborn, and understands him and understands his arrogance (although he says he hates the need for equality, but this is the root of duplicity!!), but Mr. Professor will think about what Eliza said, and will Thinking about what she was thinking about why she left, in fact, to a certain extent, it was equal. And in the part where they quarreled, Mr. Professor quarreled for the first time! lose! ! She is inherently noble, reserved, and brave, and is actually a match. To say that the ending has a disadvantage, it is that Eliza came back too quickly, a little hasty and reduced the factor of reality, making it more dramatic.

Human personality and the relationship between people are much more complicated than in the film.

In fact, there are also a lot of realistic highlights in the lines, but I am too lazy to write hahah. Appearance transformation is indeed effective, but what is really difficult to transform is thought and character. The deep respect and love in the heart is difficult to acquire only through nurture.

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?
