So there are many marvelous retellings of the Pygmalion myth, and at least one terrible one that a lot of people like for some reason.
I ain't here to hurt those folks' feelings.
Ain't here to validate their feelings either.
00:36 Summary of the Pygmalion Myth
01:13 Some worthy adaptations
02:36 Summary of Pretty Woman (as somewhat less worthy adaptation)
03:56 Comparing Pretty Woman and My Fair Lady
05:07 What sex workers be like
07:12 Henry Higgins vs Edward
08:06 The very worst part of Pretty Woman
08:38 Martha says something nice about Prince
In case you're curious, here's the full Hercules clip:
• Aphrodite_-_Lisa_Kudro...
...and the Between the Lions' Pygmalion:
• Between the Lions 1x18...
Included in this video are a Pymalion summary (the myth as told by Ovid), A Pretty Woman summary, some comparisons to a rather good film / play that came between the two called My Fair Lady, and a rather snarly review of Pretty Woman in my capacity as a recovering jail nurse and a woman whose prettiness is-- patronized sufficiently enough for me to have hard opinions about stuff. I also say the first and only nice word I expect I'll ever say about the Artist formerly known as Prince. So tune in for that, I guess.
Thanks for visiting the channel.
I am something of an antisocial eccentric, but I am actively trying to be more of a blessing than a curse to my fellow writers.
