“Victory, victory, victory!” “ A-a-a-a-a-ah-ow-ooh!”
Pygmalion basically is derived from Metamorphosis by Ovid. It is about a sculptor who falls in love with his perfect female statue. He creates the sculpture because he cannot find a girl who suits his taste. The main idea in this play was brilliantly adapted by Shaw in Pygmalion. The main idea is the creation of new person, in Pygmalion’s case, to transform a cockney flower girl into a duchess.
Reading Pygmalion is exciting enough, what’s more watching it. This opportunity does not come everyday in our life. The fact is that, although someone is trained or learned something new, it does not change you totally, hundred percent. There will be something that you have or inherit which will never be changed through out your life.
Watching this film also reminds me to ‘Educating Rita’ by Willy Russel. It is about a woman who wants to change her life through education. From this two plays, I can say that most people see education as a way out to improve and change our life to be a better person, at least or maybe to be in the higher position.
