After watching the second half of this movie, Higgins' attitude towards women is really unbearable. How can he be so prejudiced, discriminate against women, and elevate men. However, it is said that Professor Higgins discriminates against women because he thinks that women are small women without their own thoughts. In the movie, Higgins hopes that women can be independent and have their own thoughts, rationality and behavior. Kins is a woman who likes reason. But Higgins doesn't understand that women have reached the point of being unreasonable, it's really rigid.
And how did the last love come, this is very abrupt. There seems to be no premise at all. In the end, Eliza broke out, saying that she would be fine without Higgins, and that she would never see him again. And although Higgins didn't want her to leave, he didn't say anything, just said that she was strong. Besides, Higgins didn't seem to realize his mistake in the end. He took Eliza's crying and temper as a woman's vexatiousness. I think Higgins' feelings for Eliza are more of his own work than his love for Eliza as a person. Is it because Eliza has become a lady and has a certain rationality, so Higgins likes it? No, she is more used to having her. And how did Eliza fall in love with Higgins, Higgins is also old, and he doesn't understand her, bullies her, treats her as dust, why does Eliza still want to come back to him, maybe it is Because she left him, she would have no money to live a prosperous life. I think Colonel Pickering is the real gentleman, he treats all women politely, he doesn't discriminate against women. And often criticize Higgins for being too harsh.
There is also Eliza's father, who is really not a human being. He sold his daughter for only five pounds. When he was poor, he always asked his daughter for money when he was not working. When he had money, he would not give her a penny. It's enough for a person with such a dirty morality to actually live a good life when he doesn't need to work, and he keeps dropping a lot of money for him to squander.
I haven't read Bernard Shaw's original book, but netizens say that Shaw's original book satirizes the upper class, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of irony in the movie.
