Today I watched a recently downloaded movie "Mona Lisa's Smile", starring Julia Roberts, beautiful actors, beautiful pictures, beautiful stories... I

wanted to watch this film in 2004, when it was a big The poster of the movie was hung at the entrance of the theater, but it was released when I was too busy to watch it. I found this movie on the BT website a few days ago.

In the United States in the 1950s, it was a time when society re-examined and defined the role of women, and the role of women in society was increasingly being paid attention to. Full of liberal reform ideals, Julia Roberts came to the well-known Wesleyan Women's College as a professor of art history. She found that the college's education for students is not to teach them how to acquire the subject knowledge they are interested in, nor to pay attention to psychological education, but to put students' Success is defined as future marriage. Unlike other teachers, Julia Roberts not only challenges some of the school's practices and rules, but also encourages students to discover their own interests and boldly practice their ideas. She changed the students' minds... The

world knows that Mona Lisa's smile is the most beautiful, but they don't know her heart-wrenching pain of bereavement. I guess this is why the director used this title.

My heart is still very inclined towards this kind of film that reveals the brave and pioneering spirit of human nature and its stubborn meaning. I didn't study history well when I was in school, and I was often ashamed to talk about history with my friends. I have watched a lot of movies recently, and I think I can learn something from the movies. I will keep the films that I find meaningful, such as this one.

One of my favorite lines throughout the movie is when Katherine's lover said to her, "You thought you came to Wesley to help these girls find their way, but I think you helped these girls find your way."
