    It’s irritating how people praise this kind of Cinderella but bash the Disney one for being too WeAk…when she was literally a WOMAN in the 1700s who was going through domestic and emotional abuse…

      For real
      I watched this version (unfortunately) and they really backed off the abuse angle from the step family. The blonde step sister verbatim says that her mother is being too harsh to Cinderella in the ONLY scene where Cinderella is actually forced to work for her step family. I'm not kidding, there's ONE scene of Cinderella having to wake up and make tea for her step family. This Cinderella has time to stay in her basement and make dresses and is allowed to go to the market by herself and (try to) sell them. The original Disney Cinderella was purposely kept so busy that she COULDN'T do anything for herself and never left her chateau, which drove home her isolation and abuse more

      Getting invited to a ball would be the best thing that could happen to someone then! You get to mingle with the most important people in society, maybe strike up a friendship or business deal. In fact since she wants to be a seamstress, going to a ball would be the best thing for especially wearing a dress she designs. It just shows how dumb they make her in this just for the sake of “throwing off social norms”. How much more interesting would it have been if she gladly went to the ball and we see her catting with people charming them with her intelligence and wit and ends up getting a noble or rich merchant to give her a loan to start her dress shop?

      It's becoming very cliche these scenarios where for a woman to be strong, she has to act like a "tough guy" like men. Not that movies like that are bad (as long as they're written consistently and not with general exaggerations). The point is that they could develop a film where a really delicate woman with feminine characteristics shows her greatness is a strong and brave girl. That's why I loved Cinderella 2015's live action, because the movie's message is: Courage, kindness is also strength.

    My favorite part about this movie, that baffles me so much, is their inexplicable decision to _downplay how bad Cinderella's home life is._ Alex already pointed out her absurdly clean, spacious, and brightly-lit basement bedroom, but that's not all.
    Cinderella is shown serving the stepfamily breakfast, like, once at the very beginning, and that's basically the only chore we see her do. Meanwhile, the stepfamily is shown out in the yard hanging laundry on the clothesline in _three separate scenes!_ Sure doesn't look like Cinderella's been made a servant in her own home to me!
    She's visibly clean as a whistle the whole time too, despite the narrator's claim that they call her Cinderella because she's always covered in soot from the fireplace. Like, bitch where??
    Not to mention how she apparently has plenty of money to buy materials for her dresses, infinite free time to hang out in her room and work on said dresses, and no problem at all going out to the marketplace to try and peddle said dresses!
    Literally her only problem in life is that she's inexplicably not allowed to be a business owner in this bizarre society that's modern in basically every other way.

      3. Her stepfamily dont hate her, and in fact, her stepmother mentioned in the movie that she didnt mistreat her out of spite but because she didnt want Cinderella to go through what the stepmother had to go through when she was young
      4. It would actually be different if the prince hadnt worn the headscarf to find Cinderella, cus ig its part of his disguise so people wouldnt recognise him as the prince

    Fun fact: Queen Victoria’s white wedding dress became a fashion staple that continues to this day. It wasn’t traditional (back in the day) to wear a white dress for your wedding because of how much effort you would need to clean it if it got dirty. Cinderella literally could have used that to her advantage!

    I love how everyone’s just ranting, so I guess I’m just gonna rant too.
    First, I didn’t like the part where she was sitting on the king’s statue. Like in Spanish I would say “y que te ganas?” (What was your point by doing that?) like there’s a difference between taking a stance for things you believe in and being rude and disrespectful.
    Second, the “romantic tension” between the leads was terrible. It felt so cheap, rushed, and unemotional that all I could do was cringe. His lines were so “proper” to always emphasize that she was “smart” and “strong” so that he proves that he’s not objectifying her. But let’s be honest. He just saw her on the statue and his face instantly changed -_- like seriously Furthermore, on her end, she would only say he’s handsome, but it didn’t feel like she actually loved him. (Disney’s live-action Cinderella did the romantic tension a million times better.)
    Third, I didn’t understand the ending. So he didn’t become king? She became a traveling seamstress for another queen? So what, the prince is just gonna tag along? Yeah, that wasn’t clear. There was just a “romantic confession” she gets hired and BOOM cue dance number. Like wha???? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I am confusion.

Historically princesses did excellent needle work and were well educated, spoke several languages, were fit and expected to know about their country or the country of their betrothed. They were some of the most intelligent people in the kingdom and would be expected to be able carry on conversations with ambassadors, priests, and have good musical skills. On top of being well dressed and poised. They had access to the best tutors their family could afford. Can we please get more intelligent and witty princesses who take their duty to family and country seriously?

      My personal favorite was a Native American version. Where (spoilers) the “prince” was a magical being where all the women would be tested by his sister. The test was whether or not they could see him (he can turn himself invisible although his sister can see him). The test is asking if the women can see him. They all fail because they all lie, except the “Cinderella” of the story. Because she didn’t lie, she got to marry the “prince”.

    he is made to stay the night ,to meet the queen next morning. In the evening he bychance meets a women( I don't remember the her name now so let's call her 1). she is a good jolly women and pleasant to talk to and the reporter asks her who she was and she tells she is the queen's stepsister. reporter retorts that she doesn't seem anything like he imagined ,and she replies neither is there queen.
    she tells that the story cinderella has been telling the world is not true. the prince and the sisters studied together in the university and he was in love with 1. he frequently visited there household.
    cinderella was a attention seeking girl.
    they had lot of servants and cinderella didn't actually needed to sleep near the cimeny.
    but she loved showing the world that she was poorly treated to gain sympathy of others and one of her sympathizer was her deceased mother's friend who lived nearby
    one day cinderella asked her God mother to bring the reporters to there house and let them enter when she gives the signal
    God mother agrees to help her wholeheartedly if she remembers her when planning is successful. cinderella agrees.
    then she somehow tricks the prince to lift her up and take her to her room that's when reports enter and she kisses the prince and whole thing was a huge scandal
    God mother leaks all kinds of fake stories about there love and cinderella ill treatment by the step family.
    latter even though prince explains the king that he was framed but king make them marry to save the reputation of the royals
    cinderella gets married with in queen and king die suspiciously while traveling.
    the prince is declared incompetent by the royal physician. cinderella becomes the ruling queen.
    reporter asks about the God mother and the sisters replied she died one day after the wedding in her sleep.

      Also the only reason tablecloths were invented was to cover table legs, because men in the Victorian era were said to get aroused because of table legs.

    People, including whoever made this movie, apparently always forget that in the original story (and animated Disney movie) Cinderella was LITERALLY suffering emotional abuse. Putting up with that doesn't make her weak--if anything it makes her stronger. (Blaming her for being weak and submissive is literally shaming an abuse victim for struggling to get help). Plus, Cinderella just wanted to go to a ball, escape her wicked family and have fun for once. Like she didn't even realize she danced with the prince until the next day so it's not like she just wanted to be royalty and was seeking him out.
    smh I don't know why people keep making Cinderella movies if they're just gonna mock the original source material.
    (edit: I don't know why I put it was the first animated Disney princess movie bc it's not lol my bad)

    In this variation, it's blatantly obvious they tried realllllyyy hard with the strong independent girl character. It's fine that she wants to make dresses AND fall in love, why is that such a stigma with girl characters? Yet it's weird how they let Ella not give up her wants but have the prince give up his throne. I hate movies where one has to give something up in order to be with someone. Whether it's a business, their whole life, royalty, etc. it's just a huge gesture to someone you've known for like a day or two lmao.

    As literally every human has said: Ever After did Feminist Cinderella first and better. Just slapping a "#GirlBoss" over a trendy celeb of the moment does not a feminist lead make. Danielle was a successful feminist Cinderella because they gave her a passion and goal that wasn't just "succeed at something that aint a man." She was self-taught. She had a political opinion. She had a hobby. She thought outside the box and defied social expectations based on her creativity and resourcefulness, and not just by being your standard nonspecific ceiling-smasher.

      And I get that its okay for girls to like girly things and stuff, but it seems counter intuitive to the GuurlBozz message that Cindy wants to make a career out of shinies and fluffies and pink tulle, but I guess the writers thought they were maling up for ny having the sister sibling take the throne after all (the ending they stole from Coming to America 2).

      I agree for the most part. Danielle was an amazing character. But Ever After fell a little flat for me because Danielle was so amazing she didn’t need the Prince at all. She saved herself at every moment. I’m not saying I wanted the Prince to have to save her or for her to be a damsel in distress who needed rescuing, I just wished their relationship was a little more equal. The prince clearly loved her and found her fascinating but she didn’t need him at all. In fact, she was basically his special guide the whole time, the epitome of a wise character who leads the prince to better himself, but who does not change or grow herself. I just wish that we could have seen some kind of change in her that would explain how she grew closer to him and came to feel he was important to her enough that she wanted to marry him, and I don’t feel the movie gave us that.
      On the other hand, it has been awhile since I saw the movie so maybe I’m misremembering it. But I have seen it multiple times and each time felt a little disappointed that we couldn’t see why she bonded with him and needed the prince in her life.
      Edit: I do agree that Ever After is the best adaptation of this story and Danielle is the best Cinderella.

    If you want to modernize a fairy tail, do it fully or don't do it at all. Either leave it in it's own timeframe or fully commit to putting it into today like Westside Story did for Romeo and Juliet.
    But not freakin' pop-songs and what I assume to be modern fashion in a medival/renaisane movie!
    Also fuck off with that self-entitled "power-girl" bullshit where she has to be mean to everyone. That's not charming or empowering, it's just obnoxious. Also how does she go from talking smak to the king - who could literally have her executed for talking back - to being subserviant to her step-mother? Is she meek or bold? Make up your mind!

      Sometimes you crave the obvious villain who revels in villainy, who can ham it up and sing an epic villain song. Cinderella III lets Lady Tremaine go as far back as unwinding clock on Cinderella’s happily ever after because she’s that vindictive.

    Everafter is so much better. I haven’t seen this movie, but even the clips are insufferable.
    Everafter does an excellent job of giving us an updated version of Cinderella - without trodding on the source material. Danielle (that’s Cinderella) is smart, brave, and very kind. She’s more independent than the original Cinderella, but she’s still a very loving person. And all her character traits feel very earned.
    The acting for all the other characters is great too. And the step mother is a proper villain.

    I have no patience for people who trash the Disney Cinderella for "not doing enough to save herself." It's so insulting, she had no means to escape her situation and even though she was treated horribly she remained kind to everyone-even the people who treated her like nothing! She is rewarded for her kindness in the end and to me someone who rises above it and shows kindness regardless of her treatment is far more inspiring than #girlboss Cinderella.

      Yes! I think the same, now it seems like the norm to trash the older Disney princesses. But if people would actually watch the movie, with a critical mind, would notice that Cinderella wasn’t out for man. She was in a horrible situation and just wanted a break. There is a great video essay, I think it was on a channel called Screen Prism, which talks about how people blaming Cinderella for not leaving her situation sooner is basically victim blaming.

      This film felt like they tried to do an Ella Enchanted style remake... but failed miserably. Ella Enchanted had the modern twists, some contemporary songs, costumes weren't historically accurate, twists on the OG Cinderella story, forward thinking views etc. but they did in a way that was cohesive all the way through. The costumes and sets all looked like they were from the same world and time, the story changes all made a lot of sense as well. But this was just a mess!
      Also want to say having recently rewatched Ever After it still holds up really well considering how old it is! Such a lovely movie!

    I thought of a type of Cinderella movie: Cinderella vs Zombies. You have to admit it’s an interesting idea for a movie and would be cool to see Cinderella, the Prince, and her stepfamily having to fight off a zombie apocalypse accidentally caused by the fairy godmother’s magic. The fairy godmother attempts to bring back Cinderella’s parents to life for just one day which is their daughter’s wedding and then everything goes down hill from there. You have birds and mice holding up crosshair targets for the survivors to kill the zombies, people shoving dynamite into pumpkins and launching them as explosives, and so on.

      The whole 'Average lifespans back then were like 40' is actually, well it's not WRONG but it's misleading. Yes, if you crunched the average age people in these eras died at, then it would come to about 40. However that average was dragged down by a very high child mortality rate. If you survived childhood, living up to your 60s or older wasn't actually uncommon
