Tone changes lives

The biggest puzzle is, from the village girl to the celebrity, what changed Eliza?
Develop the correct accent and elegant demeanor, is that enough to make your self-awareness awaken? Can you become eloquent and eloquent, refuting linguistics professors like a mother?
Although it is said that external etiquette has a edifying effect on the heart, but disposition and intelligence have transformed into such a new look, does this still have basic personality identity?
Of course, it can be said that the script is precisely questioning the elegant standards of the so-called high society behind it, but how did Eliza learn the spirituality and reasoning displayed by her "after awakening" from her instrumental training? And this kind of spirituality and reason is exactly what we hope to praise for the "shaved women at the bottom".
Of course you can answer, isn't this acting? Who is more serious with you about Emile?
But to me, this is clearly an important question of life and world outlook.

Man is form, woman is matter. Men are rational, women are emotional.
In Greek mythology, Pygmalion was fascinated and fascinated by the beauty he carved. Later, the statue of the beautiful woman turned into a real person and fell in love with him.
A happy Greek, form and material are in harmony, and reason and sensibility are not in conflict.
Professor Higgins shaped Eliza, but he was hostile to sensibility. Eliza is leaving? Just let her go, I have my own divine fire.
But the professor was lost after all. Fortunately, he could honestly express his feelings.
At the end of the film, Eliza returned to the professor's house, and the professor returned to her lovely arrogance, lay down on the sofa, and asked: Where are my slippers?
The end, the story of Hollywood, the end of Hollywood. But what happens when Eliza comes back?

Looking forward to the "My Fair Lady" sequel, "The Days Eliza Comes Back".

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?
