This is a film about education as self-transformation, Susan, a working-class girl, becomes Rita (she takes the name from Rita Mae Brown, author of the book Rubyfruit Jungle, which I discuss in chapter 3), through a process of being educated in literature. The narrative dramatizes how becoming civil is not simply about learning to read the right books or learning to appreciate the right objects but is about developing a different relationship to those objects. So in the first instance Rita learns by su>itchinga^ecrions, by learning to appreciate some things, or to appreciate the difference between pulp fiction and literature. But by the end she becomes free from any such affection. She says, “You think you did nothing for me. You think I ended up with a whole lot of quotes and empty phrases. Well, all right. I did. But that wasn’t your doing, I was too hungry for it all. I didn’t question anything. I wanted it all too much so I wouldn’t let it be questioned. Told you I was stupid,” Her hunger for knowledge about x becomes symptomatic of her failure to transcend the working-class habitus that makes becoming educated desirable in the first place.
For Rita to become educated requires that she become free from hunger for things, from insistence on and in enjoyment. Having become free, Rita can now choose, with the capacity for choice being organized through tropes of indifference; “I might go to France. I might go to London. I might just stay here and carry on with my studies. I might even stay here and have a baby, I don’t know. I will make a decision. I will choose.” Becoming civil converts the language of “must” to the language of “might” and eventually to the language of will and choice. We end up with a fantasy of a moral and middle-class subject as the one who is without habit, who will and can choose insofar as they are imagined as free from inclination.
I think most of us is standing in a special place which is like we are not here and we are also not belong to there. We are trying to sing a better song. And we do everything we can do to achieve it. But the most ridiculous thing is. In the end you will find you are singing an absolutely different song.

1984年英国学院奖最佳影片最佳女主演,美国金球奖最佳男女主角。改编自同名舞台剧。
很佩服这个女主演,我一直认为,好的女喜剧演员(不是靠出丑的那种)是演员中的演员,也最难得。
都说这是另类版的“窈窕淑女”,我看这部片子比“窈窕淑女”要深刻的多。虽然同样是讲教育讲麻雀变凤凰,但是这部戏显然超越了窈窕淑女的层次,开始认真探讨教育的目的和本质的问题,女主丽塔因为不甘心每个周末跟家人坐在同一间酒吧里齐齐的唱一只同样的歌而进入大学的夜间部学习文学,她要唱一只better song。
丽塔在接受醉鬼教授弗兰克的教导后,最终在保留自我保留天性的前提下提升了自己,她口音未变,性格不变,知识丰富的同时,找到了属于自己的路,读书思考是为找到滋润灵魂的养料,构建强大丰富的自己,而不是仅仅是为了吹牛炫耀,为了进入某个阶层。
丽塔在读书学习的第二个年头,还在跟她的导师说:“我要变成淑女的样子,我要学会优雅的谈吐。”她的导师说:“那一钱不值,你不过会变成一只different song,而不是一只better song。”
真心没有原著好看,因为用剧中没有的场景和人物把想象填满,把他们之间的互动和对话降到最少,最精彩的就是他们彼此对对方叙述自己的生活和看法,要是都演出来真的失色不少。//不过北方口音真的是太棒了!连我都想试着说北方口音了!读书体验不到的就是这个!
3.5分比较精确。教育理念来看看自己有没有走的太偏;冷笑话没有全懂;理发师的衣服都很好看;英国人的感情和中国传统最接近

超好看!这对师生太可爱了!接受教育不是让你变得有品位和与众不同,而是让你能有更多的选择,“Find a better song to sing”。想要努力,任何时候开始都不晚。
when i listen to the music and poetry,then i can live.you see,darling, the rest of time,it is just me.that is not enough.---it is a dead serious comedy.indeed,knowledge is poison,once you have it,the rest of world seems dull and tedious.
老實說這電影講什麼我已經毫無印象了
理想与现实, 以及豆瓣这个分数绝对是虚高了
和《窈窕淑女》比起来,Rita主动学习,成为她梦想成为的自己,她看到了感情,了解感情的重要性,却没有囿于感情而放弃坚持的东西。美中不足的点与《窈窕淑女》类似,女主怎么可能这么快学会那么多知识的"(º Д º*)
not too bad for an adaptation but I can assure you that the screenplay is much better
据说本片是凯恩自演最爱。而沃特斯在三十年后接受英国表演协会表彰时,曾遇到当年的女观众,说自己正是看过此片之后决定重新审视与丈夫的关系并投身“教育”……可见本片的确有着推动女性意识觉醒的积极进步的社会意义。但从叙事角度,本片和萧伯纳的卖花女一样都存在着可能难以把握的结构难点:在影视具象特写密集之后,女一号翻天覆地的变化并没有成功说服观众。因为奥黛丽赫本分明之前就“美”,朱丽沃特斯的“知性”也是从始至终,是剧情在概念灌输我们……她们变了!
一个想要找寻自我不愿年纪轻轻生儿育女的世俗女,一个成天醉生梦死吊儿郎当的文学教授,没有阶级的隔阂,没有烂俗的情愫,只有在互相交流接触间逐渐找到未来更好的道路。Michael Caine这种又精明又戏谑的气质真是太迷人了!
演员真好。Michael Cane,不知不觉就爱上他了,虽然他们尽量把他的帅美藏了起来。韦斯利妈妈年轻的时候可爱麻利到无法形容。
本片堪称八十年代的“卖花女”,并且多了些诙谐幽默,尤其英国口音更增添了喜剧效果。互为补充的两个角色设置,对当时社会的女性解放思想以及文化与阶级的冲突进行了深刻考量。朱丽·沃特斯的表演大赞!
诺玛雷和打工女郎之间的过度。
这个故事如果延伸到现在,就是许知远遇见薇娅,一个说晕眩是人生的本质,一个说老师我没文化,看似火星撞地球,实则在另一半身上弥补缺失,找寻内在自我。
片名翻的真絕~一言以蔽之
三星半。不论怎么也喜欢不上Rita这个角色,因为她太理想化了,改变自己的同时又改变了别人,向观众演示着阶级的困境和机遇的可贵,而那些底层的追求和所谓教育带来的粉饰,统统都被抛诸脑后,不过始终是一部积极乐观的电影。
只有两人在Frank办公室对话的话剧应该更棒 电影里多了人物也分散了矛盾;知识不能改变命运 只是给生活多了选择
挺好的。但是我忍不住要吼:一開始為毛要黑Forster啊為毛要黑Howards End啊!!!!
结局确实对得起她受的教育 为自己做了选择 校园生活真的是用来珍惜的 talk think write essays like them
