The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie

The 1930s Britain was still the time of Victorian morality (which I find pretty small-minded), so I initially liked the unconventional teacher, although I had a few issues with her. Gradually, it became increasingly clear why schools need a curriculum. I am not saying teachers should not have their own opinions, but they should not vent their political or religious views on those who are easily influenced (especially when any internet nonsense can easily influence the teachers themselves; of course, this sentence does not apply to the time in which the film is set or to the time of its creation). Originally, I wanted to give it three stars because everything seemed somewhat disjointed, and the creators introduced more plot twists than necessary, but in the end, I think the little discomfort was worth it. And I was also pleased to see a young Maggie Smith, and Cowley was hilariously smitten:-) / Lesson learned: Admiration for dictators is often contagious. (26/04/2023)
