I yearn for such a campus

The question that women's universities wanted to find answers to more than 60 years ago may still not be able to be answered appropriately in our society today. For women, is family and self-worth contradictory, can't they have both? Catherine, who came from an ordinary background but has extraordinary knowledge, said that she came to Wesleyan College to change its traditional customs, but she forgot to change herself before changing others.
Julia Roberts, who starred in "Notting Hill", and Claudia in "Interview with the Vampire," played Betty, who was initially against Katherine, but later said: "I heard she took aimless wandering. Those who are called cowards, but not all wanderers are purposeless, especially those who go beyond tradition and pursue truth, beyond boundaries, beyond imagination.” These moving women, this extremely beautiful university, make people feel I was yearning for it, and I thought in a trance that this was a movie made decades ago. But I like the enchanting Livy played by Maggie Gyllenhaal the most, the Livy who admired Catherine very much from the beginning, the man who said that the man he loves is not suitable for Catherine, not Catherine to him Too old, but Katherine's too smart Livy. Ha, he doesn't deserve her~

    The campus is so beautiful, the girls are so beautiful, and the teachers are so handsome! The most worth watching are the scenes and clothes... The movie itself is not interesting, because the director really doesn't know how to treat "feminism"...

Mona Lisa Smile quotes

  • [about Vincent van Gogh]

    Katherine Watson: He painted what he felt, not what he saw. People didn't understand, to them it seemed childlike and crude. It took years for them to recognize his actual technique. To see the way his brush strokes seemed to make the night sky move. Yet, he never sold a painting in his lifetime. This is his self-portrait. There's no camouflage, no romance. Honesty. Now, sixty years later, where is he?

    Giselle Levy: Famous.

    Katherine Watson: So famous, in fact, that everybody has a reproduction. There are post cards...

    Connie Baker: We have the calendar.

    Katherine Watson: you go. With the ability to reproduce art, it is available to the masses. No one needs to own a van Gogh original, they can paint their own. Van Gogh in a box, ladies! The newest form of mass-distributed art; paint by numbers.

    Connie Baker: [reading from the box] "Now everyone can be van Gogh. It's so easy. Just follow the simple instructions and in minutes, you're on your way to being an artist."

    Giselle Levy: Van Gogh by numbers?

    Katherine Watson: Ironic, isn't it? Look at what we have done to the man who refused to conform his ideals to popular taste. Who refused to compromise his integrity. We have put him in a tiny box and asked you to copy him.

  • Betty Warren: You don't believe in withholding, do you?

    Katherine Watson: No. I do, however, believe in good manners. But for you, I'll make an exception.
