マイフェアレディの映画でのオードリーヘップバーンは美しく清々しく、そして自立した女性になりました。言葉の変化は、女性としての生き方の変化でした。私たちは今、彼女から多くを学ぶべきではないでしょうか。Audrey Hepburn in the My Fair Lady movie became a beautiful, clean, and independent woman. The language change was a change in how she lived her life as a woman. Shouldn't we learn much from her now?

My Fair Lady

Act 1

1)

The opera had just finished in front of the Covent Garden Opera House. Eliza Doolittle, a flower-selling girl, run around to pick up her unsold flowers.

There was a man who wrote notes intently while looking at her.

His name was Professor Henry Higgins, a leading phonetician.

He made a living by teaching the rich people in the downtown area how to speak to the upper class.

"No matter how dirty a flower-selling girl can be, I can transform her into a lady who can go to the ball in just half a year if I can teach her," he said. 《Why Can't The English?》

Eliza was very interested.《Wouldn't It Be Loverly?》

2)

The following day, Eliza, dressed up in the "downtown style," appeared at Higgins' house.

"I've washed her hands and face properly," she said. And she asked Higgins to transform herself into a lovely lady.

Higgins refused at first.

However, Colonel Pickering, a friend of Higgins and a language researcher, said, "If successful, I will pay the cost of Eliza's lessons." So Higgins accepted Eliza's education.

3)

A few days later, Eliza's father, Alfred, came to Higgins' house.《With A Little Bit Of Luck》

He assumed that Eliza had become Higgins' mistress.

He came here to get some money for that reason.

Higgins refused once, but as he listened to Alfred, Higgins loved his "morality" and gave him £ 5.

He even wrote a letter to American investors recommending him as "the number one middle-class moralist in Britain."《I'm An Ordinary Man》

4)

Higgins training Eliza was tough 《 You Wait》

But Higgins finally managed to get Eliza to master the upper-class speaking style.《The Rain In Spain》

Higgins, Eliza, and Pickering danced very happily.《I Could Have Danced All Night》

5)

And they went to Ascot Racecourse, where Higgins' mother had a box

《Ascot Gavotte》

However, Eliza's social debut was terrible. She wore her elegant way of speaking. However, the content of the conversation remained a dirty flower seller.

Eliza was very embarrassed because of her words.

"Son, you're a human playing doll," his mother told Higgins.

Higgins burned in revenge and returned to his home.

But Freddie Eynsford-Hill, a poor aristocrat who met Eliza in her box, chased her to the house.

He decided to wait in front of the house's door until he could meet her.

《On the Street Where You Live》

Act 2

6)

It was six weeks after the failure at Ascot.

After her hard training, the day of her re-debut as Eliza came.

The place was the ball of the Embassy of Transylvania.

Higgins and Pickering were apprehensive about Eliza.

However, Eliza was nominated by the Crown Prince of Transylvania as a dance partner.

Calpathy, born in Hungary, was a disciple of the phonetician Higgins.

He was a spy who reported the visitor's hometown to his employer.

And Eliza met Calpathy.

However, Calpathy misunderstood Eliza's birthplace as a princess in some other country.

Because Eliza's English was too perfect.

Eliza was making a vivid transformation from her flower-selling daughter to a lady.

The experiment was successful, and the bet was a Higgins victory.

They returned home from the ball. Higgins and Pickering celebrated each other's good fights.《You Did It》

7)

But next to them, Eliza was quietly angry.

She just realized she was just an experimental mouse.

Through her experiments, the ego as a human being was awakened in her. But Higgins didn't treat her as one of her humans. And probably from now on.

Eliza was crying in the laboratory alone. Finally, Higgins returned to pick up his slippers.

Eliza threw slippers at Higgins. A big quarrel began with that.

Higgins didn't know the cause.《A Hymn To Him》

8)

"There is no place for me in this house," Eliza felt, and she left the house. She Eliza went out.

With Freddie waiting for her, she went to the green market in her hometown of Covent Garden.《Show Me》

However, her old flower-selling companions were unaware of her lady Eliza. In despair, by chance, Eliza met her father, who he dressed up.

Her father became an investor's heritage heir because of a letter Higgins wrote to an American investor. He would receive £ 4,000 a year.

In addition, the following day, he said he would even have a wedding with his mistress.

But he said, "I can't take you, Eliza." And he encouraged Eliza, "You can do it alone." 《Get Me To The Church On Time》

9)

Higgins was in a hurry the following day when he realized that Eliza wasn't there.

Eliza had escaped to Higgins' mother's house.

She was the only one who could understand Eliza.

Higgins finally yelled at the place where they were talking.

Higgins' mother left her son alone with Eliza.

Eliza told Higgins, "I like you, but I can't be with you anymore because you don't treat me as a human."《Without You》

10)

But Higgins got angrier and rejected Eliza. Eventually, Eliza left Higgins again. Higgins made a fool of Eliza in front of her mother before returning home.

But Higgins was aware. Eliza had changed to the same personality as him. He was fond of Eliza. However, Higgins rejected Eliza.

Because for him, a woman was not a human being.

11)

Still, he couldn't forget Eliza.《I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face》

Upon returning home, Higgins thought alone in his lab chair.

While playing Eliza's voice that he had recorded.

Suddenly the playback stopped, and a familiar voice said:

"I've washed my hands and face properly,"

Higgins responded. "Where are my slippers?"
