The movie of Pymalion

After viewing the movie of Pygmalion, I have a clearer idea about the play written by Bernard Shaw. Both watching the movie and reading the play have given me different experiences of understanding the story. From the first time I read the play, I have fallen in love with it. The language used, the plot of the story, the description of the characters and the sense of humour hidden in the conversation between the characters...All these have given me insight into human behaviour. I feel so glad to have been given an opportunity to watch the movie of this comedy. This time, I not only perceive it as a comedy that implies human behaviour, but it is also a romance that portrays the love that surpasses social status. When I read the play, I did not have much impression on this matter and I could not feel the love between Higgins and Eliza. The movie has done a good job in portraying the theme of love because it shows us the scenes that we cannot read from the play like the process of Higgins training Eliza on the language and manners. From the play, all these are just "told" but in the movie, all these details are "shown". This actually gives the audience a clearer idea of how their relationship developed and progressed.
The movie has actually followed almost hundred percent of the play but just a slight change in the ending. However I believe that this changing of ending has indeed given a great impact to most of the audience who also have read through the whole play. In the play, Bernard Shaw did not actually end the story but left it to the reader's imagination. The director of the movie has actually made a brave decision on changing the ending of the play to a happy one in which Eliza eventually goes back to Higgins. And I believe that this give an effect of surprise to most of the audience. But I think most of the audience would prefer this ending rather than the ending of Eliza being married to Freddy.
