The film responds to the undercurrent of feminist thinking in the 1950s in the United States. A revolutionary female teacher with advanced consciousness wants to change a group of extremely smart female students whose final profession is marriage. As a result, she leaves with an unexpected ending. I like this film because I watched it very enjoyable. Jone said to Catherine when he got married because of her "willingness". Many times we will fall into a misunderstanding, use our own standards to evaluate other people's decisions, and then persuade others with all their heart, especially those who are enthusiastic or worried by nature, who want to do it themselves. In Catherine's eyes, she thinks Jone is a smart and outstanding girl. She should go to Harvard and pursue her own life instead of ending her great future by marriage. But Jone finally chose to marry the person he loved and gave up his studies. I saw Catherine's facial expression at the moment when he heard Jone say she got married, it was a bit cruel and gloat. Forgive me for being tacky. I just don't like people like Catherine, but at the same time I respect this kind of people very much, and I understand their hard work, and even sympathize with their frustration. But I appreciate the stubbornness on Jone's face when he speaks. Unlike the marriage of her classmate Betty, marriage is a natural belonging to her. In fact, there is nothing wrong with betty, but the excessive vanity of a woman obliterates the little love of her husband. Very gratifying, at the end of the film, Catherine still realized this, and kept respect for the life choices of her female students while maintaining her own improper coordination.
People often ask themselves what they need? What are you doing? Or what should I do? When the mainstream values of a society are challenged, many people are at a loss as to what to do. In fact, it's very simple, stick to your own heart and treat others' choices with tolerance, like catherine, like Jone or like betty, willingly or involuntarily courageously continue your life after suffering a setback.
