watching the movie....


What can I say about the movie?Hmm...overall?I think it was a fun movie.I was expecting Professor Higgins to be more handsome and Freddy too.I know it sound superficial,but as I read the text , I was also having this set of images that i thought I could expect to be see in the movie..I actually enjoyed the movie even though it was a 1983 movie in black and white.
I wished I could be in a play where they actually play it in front of me.
The portrayal of Eliza's characters were brilliant...I love the scene when she takes a bath for the first time.It was so funny.
Language wise, I think it is great that they stick to the original text as close as they can.
Some of my friends were a bit disappointed with the ending while i think the movie ending is much better..We all knew what happened in the play that we read,but in the movie the ending somehow gives some kind of hope for Eliza and Professor Higgins.But hey?Who wouldn't like a happy ending right?
