The movie Pygmalion was supposed to be viewed in Bilik Seminar. Unfortunately Bilik Seminar was being used for a meeting so we viewed the movie in Bilik Tayangan.
At first, when the movie was being played I was surprised to see that it was a black and white movie thus I lost my interest in viewing the movie. In my mind, I thought ‘this might be one of the boring movie’ eventually my prediction was wrong; it was really an interesting movie to watch. Actually if given a chance, I would like to watch it again!!. The movie helps me to understand better the play. Now if I read back the novel I could imagine the characters and the flow of the story. Through the movie I got to know that Proffesor Higgins is not an old man but quite a young man actually. This is because in the play he portrays himself as an old bachelor. I realize that it’s just a saying that he uses to describe himself. This shows that the movie is actually a great help to students like me to get a clear picture and understand the play better.

I enjoyed the movie just like you, Alicia. And I also think that Leslie Howard who acted as Professor Higgins in the 1938 version of Pygmalion looks rather young, not as described in the text. I found that in "My Fair Lady" which is also the story adapted from Pygmalion caught more attention from me.Rex Harrison is a suitable actor for that movie no matter his look or acting skill.
