"Audrey Hepburn" made me realize what an excellent work it was for her, even if it was an unpleasant memory of hers. Another reason that triggered me to watch this movie was the line about the work that the best way to make someone a lady is to treat her like a lady.
I thought I could see how to become a lady, but this part of the movie made a leap, and the crow-like cry that could not be changed, suddenly became standard due to the words taught by the professor during late night practice. The training of etiquette before the banquet was not filmed. The show is more about describing those changes and people's attitudes. Speech and behavior can reflect a person's social class and corresponding groups. If there is no upper-level professor to teach Eliza, Eliza will not know and will not learn these etiquettes belonging to the upper-level people. And it is useless to have these etiquettes alone. After the banquet, Eliza began to cry, with empty cultural etiquette, essentially no money or name, and would eventually revert back to the original flower girl. The economic base is the guarantee of the superstructure (cultural etiquette). An interesting contrast is that his father, who became a nouveau riche overnight, has a solid economic foundation, but has no corresponding cultural studies, or goes out to bars, those middle-class behaviors are an incomprehensible burden to him. It can be seen that economy and culture complement each other, like the double helix structure of DNA, which rotates upward together.
Back to ourselves, we are always in a process of continuous improvement. The first step to take is to learn the corresponding culture, such as finding newspapers and magazines that elites can read, and places to go. Or the economy, get a decent job. Next, don't forget to keep up with the other leg. Two equally long legs can move forward smoothly.
some other insights
The first impression is very important, preconceived, determines the tone of others to you in the future. Eliza finally told the professor's mother that they thought I was a lady and treated me like a lady; the professor thought I was a flower girl, so they regarded me as a flower girl. Isn't that the first impression?
The professor sang the difference between men and women in two passages, which are of great reference value.
The road to becoming a lady is Eliza's awakening. She wanted to get better, so she went to the professor. Although she cursed him in the middle, she never thought about giving up. Then try to stay by the professor's side. Awakening of Consciousness and Change of Environment
