Amidst the prosperity of singing and dancing, the helplessness of social class differences

In general, I personally think it is still a good film. I appreciate the singing in it, including "wouldn't it be loverly" and the chorus when watching a horse race, which belong to the melodious and beautiful opera music.
The life of the upper class is indeed very good, but once you compare it with other classes, it is inevitable that you will not see the vanity, hypocrisy, and glitz of those so-called "upper people."
The most memorable part is the horse racing. Ladies and celebrities always look at others with their clothes and manners, and go to great lengths to dress up and dress up. The entire racecourse has become a gathering of contending beauties. Eliza is not an insider at all, struggling to advance and retreat on many topics related to weather and health.
Let's also suppose that if she knows that she is a vulgar flower girl, will the noble youth come down to her window and stare every day and sing for her? Maybe it's too late to avoid it.
The reality is so cruel.
And when Sigens finally turned the "dirty, messy" flower girl into an elegant lady of the upper class, he realized that she had nowhere to go-the working people at the bottom dared not get in close contact with such a "lady" In a hierarchical society, they are all doing their jobs honestly, relying on a small amount of income to make ends meet. And those aristocrats who have no worries about food and clothing, and do nothing, probably do not accept such an "anarchy, no identity and no background" woman, although her demeanor and temperament far exceed those authentic hereditary aristocratic ladies and wives.
There is no way in the sky, no way to the earth, this lady shaped by society and experimenters can only sigh helplessly.

    When the teacher showed us in English class, I like this kind of movie where the heroine has a transformation plot. The two-hour movie does not feel tedious, it is quite interesting.

My Fair Lady quotes

  • Professor Henry Higgins: She's an owl, sickened by a few days of *my* sunshine.

  • Professor Henry Higgins: Mother!

    Mrs. Higgins: What is it, Henry? What's happened?

    Professor Henry Higgins: [quietly, bewildered] She's gone.

    Mrs. Higgins: Well, of course, dear, what did you expect?

    Professor Henry Higgins: What... what am I to do?

    Mrs. Higgins: Do without, I suppose.

    [pause]

    Professor Henry Higgins: And so I shall! If the Higgins oxygen burns up her little lungs, let her seek some stuffiness that suits her. She's an owl sickened by a few days of my sunshine. Very well, let her go, I can do without her. I can do without anyone. I have my own soul! My own spark of divine fire!

    [storms outs]

    Mrs. Higgins: Bravo, Eliza.
