One's beauty

Three shots with great character and artistic color:

One is Brodie and the children picnicking on the lawn, Brodie introduces her children to Lother. Rather than introducing the children she has educated to others, it is more like presenting a complete self that she ideals. Jenny has the feminine charm in her bones, and she is beautiful and suitable as a portrait of Lloyd. This is the irreproducible beauty of a fifty-year-old virgin. Mary is simple and kind. Compared to other students, she is unremarkable. But in Brodie's eyes, she is a person who can be great. Bodie said that anyone can become a great person, or make others a great person. In the end, she done. Mary's death made greatness——this is a kind of vain greatness. Sandy has the insight and determination that no one else has. Brodie regards her as her own mirror, but after all, she can't recognize her heart by a mirror. The children she loves are more like the kindness, love and truth that she has sought in her life.

Then there is a picture of Brodie's uncompromising under the threat of Headmaster McKay. And in the end she complained against Sandy's departure, "This is undoubtedly murder." Brodie's forced resignation is undoubtedly the biggest blow to her. As far as a teacher is concerned, Brodie is a teacher who wants to educate students seriously, who wants to dedicate his life to education. She is a real person who teaches by precept and deeds, educating students rather than instilling knowledge in them. This is very different from the education that most of our children receive today, and it is what we need all the time. But before becoming a teacher, she was still an independent personality. The characteristics of this personality cannot be fully used in this school. Therefore, as a teacher, she should make choices. As a teacher, she is educating students. Not as Jean. Brodie. This is why she was finally betrayed by Sandy.

Brodie lives as if it were a painting, beautiful, firm, and of artistic value for future generations to appreciate, but the freeze frame in the painting has always been only for a certain period of time. She is the beauty who freezes at that time-a perfect interpretation of Maggie Smith
