I've never been very interested in musicals, but this one surprised me with a lively rhythm. The first hour I was always able to poke at my weird jokes, especially when Eliza's dad danced, I thought of it in my head. The folk customs are simple England hahaha!
I like the female characters in this movie very much, respect Eliza's housekeeper's wife, and comfort Eliza's professor's mother, they and Eliza are people of different classes, but they both have independent souls and rational light, such as saying contemptuously to the professor When it comes to throwing Eliza out, the housekeeper's wife is just and righteous, such as Mrs. Higgins, who is rude to fight back in the face of her arrogant son.
I like the definition of a lady in the movie, not in the pursuit of elegance on the outside, but in the kindness, independence and tenacity of the heart. The most ladylike thing about Eliza is not her dress or her upper-class accent, but the politeness she learned from the professor and the independent personality that has always existed in her heart. When she was in a hurry, she hesitated to say Thank you, It's when she says "I am not dirt under your feet" to the professor.
The professor is a learned gentleman in the film, a bachelor with male superiority. He is satisfied with his male identity, and he is full of incomprehension and even misunderstanding of women. I think lady and gentleman are a pair of very interesting concepts. Shu He is a gentleman. The collision and reconciliation of these two identities are the most noteworthy in the whole film. I even find the paragraphs "mocking" women very interesting, and I want to watch them over and over again.
The only dissatisfaction is that the "lady" eventually became a product of the upper class.
