After watching the princess diary 1, I think it is a very interesting movie.

Mia, the hero of the film, is a bookworm girl who lives with a single mother in a house transformed by a fire station. At school, she is almost invisible, and the handsome and beautiful girls among her classmates never notice her existence. When grandma broke into her life for the first time, telling her the identity of a princess was not a blessing for introverted Mia, but an unexpected trouble. First of all, she has no feelings for her grandmother, because she never admitted her son's love affair and short marriage in college. Now Mia is "out of the mountain" because her son (Mia's father) died unexpectedly. Mia is the only direct biography of this fictional small European country. If she doesn't want to succeed, the throne will fall into distant hands. The queen's grandmother, the artist's mother and her daughter, who had no royal temperament, had some "bargaining", and the three reached an agreement to let Mia consider it for several months and accept her grandmother's royal training.

The film focuses on how contemporary Cinderella became a princess: Mia's curly head was straightened into beautiful hair, her bright eyes were no longer covered by wide-brimmed glasses, and the teenager's usual hunchback posture was ridiculed by her grandmother, and then she was thoroughly transformed into a noble standing and sitting posture. The real challenge is not only the change of appearance and behavior. When Princess Mia's secret accidentally reached the school, students, teachers and friends were naturally "impressed". The most obvious example is the handsome guy who only dares to dream. Handsome guys never put her in the eye before, but now they turn their enthusiasm from their original girlfriend (beautiful singer Mandy? Moore) switched to Mia, and Mia, who has never had a "peach blossom luck", was certainly overjoyed.

I think in the film, Grandma Mia's etiquette training for Mia is a highlight of this film. Grandma Mia gave Mia etiquette training including appearance, manners, meeting and court etiquette, which was full of helplessness and humor. For an ordinary girl who is used to being free and loose, it is really a bit unacceptable and at a loss to suddenly receive such severe and even harsh etiquette training, but as the only heir to the throne, she has to do so again. This shows how important etiquette is in life.

There are some common but different manners in the life of nobles and ordinary people. Just like simple daily table manners, it is worth learning.

Etiquette has many functions, mainly including three aspects:

1, improve personal quality

2, help to establish good interpersonal communication.

3. Maintain personal and corporate image.

The most basic function of business etiquette is "disaster reduction effect": less embarrassment, less humiliation and less damage to interpersonal relationships. The safest way to encounter unknown things is to follow or imitate, with static braking. For example, this is the first time that the hostess has taken a seat at a western-style banquet. The hostess's napkin indicates the beginning of the banquet, and the hostess can only eat it if she picks up the knife and fork. The hostess put the napkin on the table to signal the end of the party.

In my opinion, etiquette is indeed the external expression of a person's inner cultivation and quality. A person who knows etiquette gives people a comfortable feeling and a charm that is easy to accept, understand and believe. Maybe everyone doesn't realize that in life, an angry person will unconsciously tolerate a polite person.

This may be the charm of etiquette. Etiquette is related to the communication between people, and communication affects people's emotions. Good communication can make people learn, make people progress and promote growth. Low-quality communication without etiquette often makes people lose their way and make wrong choices.

Mia's grandmother forced Mia to learn manners. The starting point may be very simple, that is, the descendants of the royal family should have royal etiquette, that is, to put it bluntly, they should have that style. However, I think Mia's good study of etiquette is also of great help to improve her comprehensive quality.
