Nearly three hours of musical, I really can't hold on without patience and leisure. The main line of the story is the experience of a phonetics professor who transformed a street flower girl into a high-class lady because of a bet; and Eliza's success in the Buckingham Palace Ambassador Ball was a success and shined, no doubt full of the British social hierarchy at that time. ridicule. The working people in the film are vigorous, but the upper class is dead; Professor Higgins is erudite but arrogant and arrogant, and Eliza's father, after having property and status, even misses the free time of the past, these reflect the value of the director/writer orientation. As a representative of independent women, Eliza has always been neither humble nor arrogant throughout the whole process, showing the theme that her dress, accent and behavior can be changed, but her personality and heart will not change. She left angrily after her sacrifice was not recognized and her self-esteem was hurt. After that, Bernard Shaw arranged for her to marry the infatuated Freddy, and stage plays and movies were not exempt from letting her return to Higgins' arms. To be honest, I have never seen where the love between her and the professor who is never interested in women comes from. Such a happy ending of YY is probably a must-have for a comedy.
The film shined in the Oscars that year, won as many as 12 nominations, and finally won eight awards including best picture, best director, best actor and so on. The soul of the film, Audrey Hepburn, was not nominated. The reason may be related to the dubbing of the aria. After all, lip-synching will deduct points (the male lead Rex Harrison was originally from the original musical, so of course he sang in person; Simultaneous recording was requested, so the company outfitted him with the film industry's first-ever wireless microphone). The film uses all the episodes of the Broadway stage play. I feel that Lerner's lyrics are indeed very skillful, but Loewe's composition is average. Among the songs, only "Wouldn't It Be Loverly" and "Show me" were not satisfactory, and according to Professor Higgins' style, is he the legendary originator of rap?
