George Cukor, the director of this film, got an Oscar for this brilliant musical. Where she leads her character Eliza Doolittle, to a transformation, of her image, of her external appearance and of how she shows herself to the world, all of which will help her to also transform internally, how she sees herself, changing the way of thinking and feeling and what will make you see the world in a different way.
Phonetics Professor Henry Higgins intends to instruct the protagonist in the way of speaking and, obsessed with the most absolute perfection, will lead Eliza to exhaustion and break inside, which will lead her to change the perception of everything that surrounds her, she will realize a chameleon-like transformation that will leave behind a being that he will hardly recognize and with whom he will never identify again. But love is what leads Eliza to transform, not the fact that they have changed their ways of speaking or the fact that she now wears elegant dresses, which has served her at first to pretend or pretend a character that she really does not. he was and in which he had not yet been transformed but which in his interior he yearned to become. Transformation similar to that carried out by the caterpillars that wrap their entire body with silk and after a while they perform a metamorphosis that will end up transforming that animal that crawls on the ground into a beautiful butterfly.
Let us make our own transformation if at first it is difficult for us, let us pretend to be that exquisite person in its forms, educated, affectionate, let us show ourselves to the world as we would like it to see us and as our Being longs to become and we will mark the path in this way it will not be difficult for us to follow it and become what we most desire. Allow me to recommend a wonderful book «Psycho-Cybernetics» by Maxwell Maltz, a best-seller in its genre, considered one of the best books in the category of personal development and transformation of the image that one has of itself.
The eight-Oscar-winning film is based on the play by Nobel Prize winner for Literature Bernard Shaw, "Pygmalion" which is inspired by Ovid's story from the book of Metamorphosis, the man who molds a woman and falls in love with her. she but between the statue turned into a woman from the classic story, revived to give pleasure and Eliza Doolittle there is an abyss, Higgins builds a woman but when she has been made, she becomes a complete, independent and critical being. Lhe aesthetic and spirit of the film are due to Sir Cecil Beaton, photographer, illustrator and set designer, who received an Oscar for his brilliant work on this film, without his labor probably the film would not have achieved its exquisite and refined staging.
