Pygmalion and Shakespeare Walla


Pygmalion and Shakespeare Walla are quite different from each other. Obviously Pygmalion is more interesting and i enjoyed it so much. It is a movie that describes how accent can determine economic opportunity and social status. It also provides an introduction to phonetics and to the Greek myth of Pygmalion. The movie allows children to work through the romantic situations of Eliza, Higgins and Eliza's friend, Freddie. Eliza demonstrates an inner strength that will not accept the limitations of a class system that denies the intrinsic value of the individual. This is a very nice movie where a girl from a florist family become a standard class women. In contrats, Shakespeare Walla, is a boring movie until the end. I do not really understand the message he tries to convey.
