What you see depends on where you stand.Some movies we enjoy because of the cinamatography; some for the characters; some for the message. Sabrina is full of lessons; never carry an umbrella in Paris, turn down the brim of your hat just a bit, and one of my favorite lessons is a cooking lesson:
The Professor: Bonjour, mesdames et monsiuers. Yesterday we have learned the correct way how to boil water. Today we will learn the correct way how to crack an egg. Voila! An egg. Now, an egg is not a stone; it is not made of wood, it is a living thing. It has a heart. So when we crack it, we must not torment it. We must be merciful and execute it quickly, like with the guillotine.
And the lesson that helps us see how this life is a conversation and not a lecture.
Thomas Fairchild: He's still David Larrabee, and you're still the chauffeur's daughter. And you're still reaching for the moon.
Sabrina Fairchild: No, father. The moon is reaching for me.
Of course, near the end of the film, there are more thoughts about the moon:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sabrina Fairchild: I might as well be reaching for the moon.
Baron St. Fontanel: Oh, you young people are so old fashioned. Have you not heard? We are building rockets to reach the moon!
Not to mention the lessons about cooking a souffle. The film Sabrina is full of lessons.
Just because you don't get what you want doesn't mean you won't get something better and more authentic and better suited later.
