Cordeli, about the landscape

I don't like stories like this. Those fairy tales that can get true love after changing their faces make me feel sad.

"Fair Lady" is adapted from Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion. Legend has it that the king of Cyprus, Pygmalion, fell in love with the statue of a girl he carved. Eros was moved by his sincerity and turned the statue into a living person~~~

Probably, every wretched man holding an inflatable doll would dream the same way, right?

In the movie, Audrey plays a vulgar flower seller; in reality, ordinary women cannot play Audrey. Even with plastic surgery, even with professional designers' styling, even with months of intensive training, we can't make another Audrey.

If the person you love only loves your skin, and the old soul is still under the new skin, are you sure he will also love it? If he doesn't like your heart, will you forget to become his shadow? If he despises you inside and out, why do you still yearn for his love?

Cordeli KO lost the flower girl and completed the magnificent transformation from a street vendor to a socialite, but I don't understand where her love for professors began. Is Rijiu in love? Or did the professor's long-term oppression caused her to get Stockholm syndrome?

But I can particularly understand the professor's feelings for her, the professor is extremely narcissistic, she is his masterpiece, he can see his shadow from her, these mirror images make him intoxicated. So when she ran away, the professor was very broken, and he needed her to be around to keep feeling good about herself.

Apart from narcissism, this man was only selfish. Even when Audrey was gone, he was planning how to get revenge and save face like a child. He didn't want others to feel at all, let alone review himself. Audrey was so mad before, he didn't take it seriously, only thought that the girl was good at eloquence, but she said nothing.

Eliza said, "Ladies are not ladies. It is not what she does, but what others treat her." Maybe she doesn't want to be a lady at all. That handsome guy named Freddie wrote to her every day and sang at the door, wishing to think of her as a queen, but she complained that she was just talking and rejected him. The professor hadn't even said anything pretty to her, let alone what he had done for her, but she was wishful thinking about him. So many people holding her, why did they single out the one who stepped on her? The reason is that she doesn't want to be a lady, and she is more accustomed to being yelled at to get slippers.

So I think this kind of ending is very cool, and the best thing is that this kind of story is still very lifelike~ there are real people acting on the screen every day.

They said that if they saw Avatar as a scenic movie, they wouldn't be disappointed. Okay, let's use this trick again. If you take Cordeli as a landscape, a beautiful lady is also a beautiful scene. Just looking at the beautiful clothes and singing and dancing is enough.

Please ignore me~~~

My Fair Lady quotes

  • Professor Henry Higgins: Eliza, you are to stay here for the next six months, learning to speak beautifully, like a lady in a florist's shop. If you work hard and do as you're told, you shall sleep in a proper bedroom, have lots to eat, and money to buy chocolates and go for rides in taxis. But if you are naughty and idle, you shall sleep in the back kitchen amongst the black beetles, and be walloped by Mrs. Pearce with a broomstick. At the end of six months you will be taken to Buckingham Palace, in a carriage, beautifully dressed. If the king finds out you are not a lady, you will be taken to the Tower of London, where your head will be cut off as a warning to other presumptuous flower girls! But if you are not found out, you shall have a present... of, ah... seven and six to start life with as a lady in a shop. If you refuse this offer, you will be the most ungrateful, wicked girl, and the angels will weep for you.

  • Eliza Doolittle: [singing] Lots of chocolate for me to eat! / Lots of coal makin' lots of heat / Warm face, warm hands, warm feet / Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?
