If you don't know what you want when you're young, study hard

When I have nothing to do, I turned out a 2009 British film "Growing Education", also known as "Education for Celebrities".

It is about a young girl who excels in studies and prepares to be admitted to Oxford University. From then on, she is away from the annoying nagging of her parents, reads French novels, listens to concerts, and lives a free and prosperous life. After a cello lesson, I met a refined middle-aged man and fell in love with her at first sight.

The storyline is simple, the heroine Carey Mulligan, who looks sweet and heartfelt, like Audrey Tautou in "Amelie", was nominated for an Oscar for this film. After that, Carey Mulligan cut the gentle long hair in the play short, wore PRADA to attend large and small events, and established her own style on the fashion road. It is rumored that the heroine of the new version of "My Fair Lady" will be played by her, and this role is perfect for her.

The dress in the play is also remarkable.

The first time we met, after the cello class, I met David by chance, and the man approached him. He couldn't bear to get such a cello in the rain, so he took it in the car and left. Sure enough, it's a mature man, and it's no wonder that girls are attracted. Entering the girl's home is smooth sailing.

The first time I listened to the concert, I wore my own green plaid skirt with a gray coat and a cheongsam-style neckline. The heroine has good artistic taste and first-class appreciation. No wonder her father wants her to study even though she wants to get married. "If you don't study, David won't like you at all."

In addition to being smart, you have to be beautiful and famous. and people who help you match them. The classic style is added to the body, and the dress is appropriate, overflowing with a ladylike and ladylike flavor. Hepburn's hairstyle and clothes were imitated many times in the play, which made film critics exclaim her as "the new Hepburn".

David took her to visit Paris, perfumed CHANEL, smoked expensive cigarettes, and ran the prom. She is also very motivated to integrate into the upper circle, showing the temperament that a celebrity should have. Pure and jerky, covered in fat powder.

As smart and beautiful as she is, like a lady, she has a rare sense of self-sufficiency and cherishes herself, but she can't easily switch between the upper class lady and the hard student.

Jenny's rebellious signs show a charming beauty because of the restraint in performance. The Danish female director Basil Sophie reproduces the British flavor of the 1960s in the film. The red brick and gray knitted suits all look very nostalgic. The English teacher with a bun and spectacles has few scenes, but plays the same role as a coordinate in the film. Jenny said, "You are also very smart and beautiful. You went to Cambridge to study, but now you are living a dying life here." When I was young, I couldn't help but doubt whether life is empty, and I can be proud and proud.

And she sang all the way, and with a cautious pity, she was going to drop out of school and get married. However, God's will tricks people and accidentally discovers that her boyfriend is married. With nothing, she has to go back to her original life and study until she is admitted to Oxford University. The male classmate invites her to visit Paris, and she has to show that she is looking forward to it for the first time. The excitement of chasing in the past was like a kaleidoscope, and there were only triangular prism surfaces and some scraps of paper under the dazzling illusion.

Jenny's forced to give up, let the film end hastily, and lost the space to discuss the theme "Should a woman pick a good man or be self-reliant". Once again, there are no shortcuts in life. Everyone has to pay for their life, whether it's the Chanel No. 5, or something else.

The heroine's costumes or simple appearances are quite good. More importantly, the theme of the film is also pleasing. "For me, the message of the movie is that if you don't know what you want when you're young, then you should study hard."
