Unfortunetly, my foster families abused me too. As long as there is hope in your heart, there is a promise for tomorrow. I put myself through College and bought myself a house. I know what love really is. The greatest gift is loving yourself.
Wow. I chose not to go into foster care because the abuse I was experiencing was predictable. I managed to escape at 25 some months ago after saving up money, getting a credit card and credit score to sign a lease all on my own, and moved out in secret. I'm not entirely happy yet, the pandemic made things tricky but I'm so happy for you!!!! Congratulations, you did awesome!
I didn’t really find the blonde guy attractive at first but when I saw the way he treated Indy everything changed. He’s so kind and understanding. I want this kind of friend
This brought me to tears. In a world where people won't get involved because it's not their business and they don't want the problems, you hope there are a lot of Bryant's and his family because there are a lot of Indy's. ❤
Have you seen “I Am Somebody’s Child”, it is also on UA-cam’s free movies? A true story of Regina Louise. A must watch!!! I don’t want to say anything else about it, just in case you have not seen it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ have some tissues handy.
I Wish indian parents become this understanding and frank so we can also take advices from them about everything, rather than some friends, who are possibly in the same phase, with almost same level of maturity, as us.
This the 3rd cindrella movie I watched. And dude everytime I watch a cindrella movie I can't help but cry. One line that was a takeaway from this movie was “the problem with abusive people is that they always think they are right”
I was sharing a bit about why I ended my marriage to someone I trust and his response to what I shared was "hurt people hurt people." Doesn't make what my ex did right but I felt validated that the emotional abuse I was receiving had very little to do with me more like I was simply available
See the contrast between the two kinds of people. The utterly selfish greedy and the great young friend who greasciously unselfishly stepped back to let her know that he will still be her friend even though he lost her as his girlfriend and also the father of Bryan's unselfish wise way of taking care of the girl. True Love is when the other persons happiness is more important than your own.
I love the fact that the dad is encouraging his son to be respectful, is supporting his son in letting the girl he likes choose, and is bringing his attention to his kind heart.
@mackenziegohdes yes. I say it again, 'You can't give what you don't have'. Bryan is from a home of love, kindness, care, respect.....and no wonder Bryan became like that. Its a movie to be recommended , a lot to learn if you are willing to learn. The most important lesson for me is two types of men shown in the movie "Problem-Solvers" and "Problem-Managers". Max never thought of bringing her out of the problem ,he didn't think far to the level of asking for help.....just stay calm, be good, do the dishes early ,try to make the breakfast early , don't leave any area unclean ,...just try to keep been used, maltreated, abused ,for as long as they give you shelter.
The problem with abuse is that it becomes your “normal”. You learn to endure and survive and adapt. Indy’s acting skills were spot-on when Bryant’s sisters hugged her, and when she got served breakfast and when she couldn’t identify that she was living under abuse
I appreciate how Indy, Bryan, and Max talked about their feelings for each other so openly and with respect. Things can be so much easier to solve in this way.
yap, the word respect to each one of them is really a good thing for me to wake up..based on my experience some of the young people today don't even care or even know about "RESPECT"
Randomly found this movie and godd this was good..... It was amazing... I've never cried this much over a movie before but I'm glad it was a happy ending. To all the people wondering if its worth watching, its definitely worth watching.... You're gonna love this ❤
Can we all appreciate that this is how teenagers should behave when dealing with "rejection". Seeing these emotionally stable teenagers is what we need more of in television shows. Open communication, respect, trust, friendship, moving on. Loved this.
HAH i wish I could behave like i “should” when i got rejected it took me months AND every night crying because i liked this guy for three years before telling him.. only to be assured that he liked one of my really good friends.. if only i could be more emotionally stable 😂
This is how ADULTS should behave when dealing with rejection. I hate to say this, but as a woman you will have to deal with this all your life; not abuse, but remembering to love yourself enough to veer away from abusive people. They are everywhere, even more so now. Equality for all is a steep hill this nation (US) has a long way to climb. Many of us who've been struggling up it for 50+ years...well you start to lose your ability to have compassion for people who are abusive because they believe you don't have the right to be happy because of your skin color or who you love. Be aware enough about your life to realize that while you may lust after someone because they are cute, it doesn't mean they're going to treat you well. If you have to make excuses for the way someone else behaves towards you, that person doesn't have your best interests at heart and is making you not have your best interests at heart either. When someone shows you who they are, believe them.
@@lynnc766 my amazing friends helped me get through it.. it’s been a few months and i feel significantly better than when it first happened. Yes, it took a long time to start accepting it. I cried a lot and it hurt to see him everyday but now that i haven’t seen him in a while it hurts a lot less. I’ve gotten to the point where i don’t even think about it every day.. although i do quite often when i have nothing else to think about. And also.. You wouldn’t want to continue life with someone who doesn’t think he can love. I’m happy you get along better now. I know for my parents it was hard because my dad told my mom that he wasn’t cut out to be a family man, and walked out. We still see him and i couldn’t be more happy to have my step parents in my life. It would be a lot different without them and honestly i couldn’t imagine life without them. I know i’m only 14 so some may say i don’t know what i’m talking about.. but really.. some things happen for the better and you just have to learn to appreciate it. I know for a fact that have
@@cassiebanks Absolutely. Adults need this as well, my point, they learn how to deal with emotions in childhood. If they are never taught how to handle rejection, that someone saying no is okay, boundaries, hurt feelings, they turn into dysfunctional adults. We all see it every day. Codependence, excuse-making, abusive relationships. If the parents are going to fail their children, at least being exposed to more content like this would be better for them.
This is the first movie I've ever seen where the main characters are honest and transparent to each other and the conflict arises from the antagonists being the bad guys! Such a cute movie.
I'm glad Max knew what he did wrong and actually respected Cindy, other than the y'know (unconsented first kiss and guilt tripping her) but they're still friends, I'm happy with this.
God has touched me and healed me through this movie. His heart For me, for us has been revealed. My care giver, my emotional defender, protector, restorer...thank you for uploading it.
The fact that Bryant, the whole time, only wanted what was best for Indy was my favorite part. In most movies like this, the guy gets all uptight and does crazy things to "win" to girl, but here he literally was like "You think you may want to be with Max? Well, if he makes you happy then go for it, but remember I'm always here too" and that's the kind of guy she deserved
When you click on a cheesy looking movie thumbnail fully expecting it to be terrible, but end up sitting on the bathroom floor watching it to the end at 1am, crying over a cat and thinking that it was a really well done film. Well played UA-cam. Well played.
Bryant acted as a person who is Really in love. Love is not about jealousy or competition. It's about wishing other's happiness. A wonderful movie.. Indy with such a kindness , deserves a very happy life and she got it..Indy❤Bryant
Helooooooo frinde aryuo OK im ok notes vryyyyyye ok😢biccccuessssim lovet bi foooooor iver thinge Bilye sumcheeeeeee god jobbb filisitatuones filme sBierk
What an underrated movie!! The fact it was a "Cinderella" movie with real life issues and less fantasy type stuff! Randomly clicked and boy am I glad I did 💕
This story is the best example to show the difference between your best friend and lover . Your best friend is who makes you fill happy and comfortable in every situation just like Max who knows everything happening to her But he never tried to take her out from that situation . And a lover is who can do anything to get you out from every toxic situation or people just like him .
In the beginning I also thought the same. But I guess the real differentiator between maxtern and Bryant was the money and class. Bryant has the house of his father where he could ask indy to stay, also he has his father's money to ask her for date in restaurant and the respect and status of his father because of which he is treated very nicely by Clarice even when seen with indy. On the other hand maxtern didn't have all these perks. He belongs to very ordinary background. He couldn't openly communicate his feelings unlike Bryant. It's because of his (middle class) upbringing i guess where one is not taught to openly express their feelings especially in case of love and relationship. He was hesitant, not sure of her feeling, fear of rejection or loosing on friendship with her. But as indy says to him in the end that he was there with her during some of her worst times. I accept that he couldn’t or didn't do some material or concrete things to make her situations better but in such situation even listening to someone is something to be grateful for. I was also offended by maxtern not responding properly to her call after that incident. And I still feel that he could have done better. But if I look through his perspective, then I think his rather cold response should not be seen in isolation. That's product of several things. 1. He himself was in a difficult situation at hospital. 2. He has been listening to her grievances for years and may be there would have some instances where she would have told similar incidents and that’s why he might have not been able to fathom the intensity of the situation. 3. Suppose, even he would have understood her situation and he wanted to her. But how could have he helped apart from just talking to her, comforting her emotionally. On the level of material help, I guess he was helpless. He was just a student like her. He might not have space like Bryan which he could have offered to her. Neither his father is a therapist and who has knowledge of all the legalities of the situation. Because on practical level all this was needed. Even Bryant talks to his father before asking indy to stay at his house. But I give full credit to the Bryant's father for Raising him into a such a gentleman. He is genuinely a very kind hearted person. He really understands the situations and is also very mature and respectful. Note- I don't completely turn down your point. Even my heart says Bryant is the hero. I idealises him. But on practical level I connect more with Maxtern personally because ideals are rarely possible or if it's possible then it's very rare. So right I guess I am like Maxtern aspiring to be Bryant. So considering Maxtern an underdog who didn't have a such a great father to fall back upon my mind compelled me to deconstruct the comfortable opinion and think against the grain😂
Normally I love the cliched predictable cinderella movies. But this was a breath of fresh air. Finally focusing on the real mental and emotional issues of cinderella's life, not just kissing the prince charming
Daisy, I agree this was pretty good, but you should check out Drew Barrymore's "Ever After". A period piece Cinderella where Cindy is not a victim. Best version I've ever found.
@@royvokey1592 They are compliments of each other... one defines and ways to deal with abuse, the other shows how to be an empowered person. They are both awesome! 💚💜👍🏽❤️✨
So, if you walked into a room and people were acting the way, the people were in this movie with that type of dialogue. You would think it was totally normal and natural and nothing about it would strike you is absolutely bizarre? I guess I just don’t see, how a movie with acting as bad as this when had in certain parts with dialogue as forced as a lot of it was could be considered real lol every other comment talking about how this is the most realistic interpretation of the reality of this sort of thing or that it’s the best version you’ve ever seen… I mean, this was like Hallmark movie quality corniness at points with acting in certain parts that was just so bad lol it was a inappropriate modernized take on the classic Cinderella trope… I guess another reason I don’t necessarily think it’s as incredibly realistic as I love you seem to think so. It’s because the most fucked up part about any of this is that most kids dealing with some type of abuse in the home, don’t get any help. Ever. So, I’m real happy you all think this fairytale isn’t just as much of a fairytale as it was, but what happens in this movie, the way it happens in this movie, that doesn’t happen in real life. Not the way it happened here. There’s nothing realistic about this movie.
This is my first time coming across this film... mid December 2024. It appears to be as timeless as the ancient folk story itself. The story is presented well. Indy and even her closest friend never related her life experiences to being abuse. The closer you are, the hardest it is to see. [I couldn't even see how abusive my father was until he abandoned us--- we were released from our prison of fear and grew stronger.] The acting of most cast seemed stiff in spots; but Bryant's observations, seeking advice from his father, not excluding her "best / boyfriend" and following through with his protective instincts makes this a great movie.
That was such a lovely movie! At the beggining I thought this is just another "I am not like other girls movie" but It was much more and to finally see Cinderela not only getting the boy but acually the help to get out of the home was super satisfying!
I wish all teens could see this movie. Bryan is an example of a gentleman. He shows genuine care, and even when attracted to her, he exhibited respect and restraint. It was good to see a son and dad discussing things. And Bryan said she needed to figure things out with Macron. Then when he questioned that, his dad verbalized why he had done the right thing. So many good examples here. And then...the syrup. Wow! What should be family's everyday functioning was new to her.
Bryant is technically her stepbrother. I think they should’ve made her like the best friend more, this way it feels like she’s obligated to be with Bryant to make up for, compensate for all his dad and he did for her. Also he’s now her stepbrother...
Oh my god same I thought it was going to be another boring Cinderella fairytale. I absolutely admire and respect whoever thought of the storyline of this movie.
This was my life. This may just be a low budget Cinderella story but it’s real for many. The tireless obedience the lack of dignity the isolation and abuse and fear….If this is you, it only takes one step out to light a flame of hope, take it it’s worth it. ❤
I just pressed on this movie randomly and It's really incredible. I couldn't stop myself crying while I was watching Cinderella's hardships... So, I really loved this movie).
The last thing I want to hear in these comments is the word masculinity don't even don't even try it especially coming from a woman UC masculinity because the women wasn't acting like a b like you and your mama take that masculinity stuff in one of them manosphere or feminist channels
You can't have your cake and eat it too bhhhhh that's what happens when the power and a masculinity is invested into you women by the government an authority so don't you dare speak on the word masculinity when you're the main one that want to change a man don't even get me started
This is the realest Cinderella ever. She didn't realize how bad her situation is (or maybe she did but didn't really mind it) until a really good and a bit pushy friend tells you to wake up. Emotional abuse isn't really obvious but it sucks your mind out. I personally have gone through this for 7 years with my ex-boyfriend, until a friend I just met really pushed me to move out. At least now I don't doubt my worth anymore. 🥰
Thank you for a realistic Cinderella story. Yes, today you can get legal aid to help abused victims, But truly need kind people to help them. A refreshing movie in these evil times.
@@saksiyah981 what was realistic about it? Are you inferring that it’s common reality for people who are victims of abuse, particularly those who are in the foster system or not being raised by their parents, to have a wealthy family that happened to be professionally involved in this type of advocacy just appear and provide you with a place to live and way to escape the situation without having to shoulder any cost? Then also getting hundreds of thousands of dollars at the end of it? That’s realistic? No… Most people who suffer through this kind of abuse never get out of the situation. Nobody helps them and it never gets better until they age out of the Foster care or run away from home. This is different, yes, but realistic? No. Not at all. It’s a fantasy, just like Cinderella has always been a fantasy. and it’s a good thing, gives people something to hope for… But, I’ve just seen far too many comments about how realistic this is and it just isn’t.
Oh my God, i have no words for this. It's so heart touching, so lovely. The aunties abuse her and how her boyfriend's family stands by her side. i absolutely love this movie. It deserves an infinity ♾️ ❤️ ♥️ 💖
I wonder really, how many children at ten could be brave enough to confront their abusers. She was just a very strong and together child or maybe she just decided what do I have to lose.
The moment Maxton said he will call her tomorrow when she was reaching for help with tears in her eyes, it was the moment i knew that he doesn't deserve her at all. Remember Pink Sweat sang i need somebody who can love me at my worst, i felt that
Tbh, when I saw her shaking and crying near the tree after running away, it was literally heartbreaking and I somehow saw myself in her place. How trauma feels, shaking, sobbing, loosing control over emotions and to feel such confusion over who you are.
While some of it is realistic the majority is not. They couldn't quite figure if she knew she was being abused or not. And the relationships with the boys were not realistic. No boy would just believe someone is in a relationship with them because the girl needed help while sick, and then never say anything or do anything to express that relationship. The whole thing gave me a bad vibe. And getting her a cat at the end was it for me. No one should just gift someone a cat. They never even asked her if she was ready for a cat. She just ran away from home and is in the middle of a court case where she found out that all of it was using her for her money. A cat is not a toy.
@@shannonhensley2942 I think it was all very realistic. And yes, people can be exactly like those two boys. I think perhaps you have been struggling in your life and can relate to some of that, but maybe not the loving kind parts? I hope I am wrong and that you have a loving family and set of caring friends all around you.
@@shannonhensley2942 When it comes to emotional abuse it is very common for it not to be realized. It took me until I was in my 30's to start to realize and no one else in my life noticed.
Me too' I can't help a teary eyed' I was frozen when I heard when she asked if the pan cake was for I WAS SO THOUCHED..I THINKS ITS THE BEST CINDIRELLA STORY I'VE WATCH. DIFFERENT PLOT I REALLY LOVE IT..THANK YOU❤❤❤❤❤❤
coming from a childhood home with an abusive father, this made me cry alot. when the Uncle raised his voice and she started packing her bags i got immediate flashbacks.
I hear you... when she ran from the Bailey's on foot... I was crying so hard because a few months ago I packed my kids and ran for a shelter and we are now safe in our own apartment but I had to take deep breathes and kept saying "Esther! You're safe now, you're safe here! It's ok"
@@iyunoluolawuyias a kid who was in that situation. Thank you for being the brave and loving mother that you are. You’re kids are so lucky to have you and will be grateful what you did for your and their safety. It will get rough but talk about it. A virtual hug to you
To be honest...I'm quite flabbergasted at the amount of healthy communication. 🤯 I'm so not used to it as most movies use it as part of the conflict. This was completely sweet and a nice unexpected treat to watch :) Very pleasantly surprised.
Yes it was a bit unsettling. In 'normal' movies they exaggerate in the other direction, but hese guys (especially the two boys) they were like Angels of Communication. No jealousy , no nastiness, pure respect and harmony and understanding i mean...it's akward!!!
May there be more and more modeling of congruent respectful communication in every aspect of humanity! Especially integrated in all levels of education.
I would say 50/50. Its not like they are beating her. 300K over 17 years comes to a little over a thousand dollars a month. Peanuts. Actually, expecting someone to work for their stay isn't abuse, even if they don't treat her like their own children. But then, she is not their child. Believe me, she is 10000000% better off then she would be in the foster system, so actually, her aunt and uncle or whatever are doing her a huge favor, and if she isn't grateful, she should be. She certainly wouldn't have a cell phone of any kind.
@@martineshamzin7535 You're honestly the most irritating person ever. Your mentality is just sadistic and fucked up. Just because they don't beat her up, means it's not serious? Lmao. You have no idea what mental and emotional torture can do to a person. Constantly being exposed to it can even make a person physically sick. THIS IS ABUSE.
Honestly, the communication in this movie is really good. In real life, people don't really insist on going as far as Bryant did here, just to find out how okay someone is and help them also, indy herself does eventually ask for help to. victims themselves, in my experience, actually try to hide stuff..
I sat down in the library to write a paper thats due tomorrow and somehow ended up watching this instead. This was the best use of my time. This is now my favorite movie.
This was one of the nicest movies I've ever seen. The boys were actually decent human beings who shared their feelings, with the main girl AND with a parent. Indie expressed how she was treated, she didn't try to be all mysterious. Because that's not how it is. When you live with abuse for almost all your life, it seems normal. I really, really liked it. Oh, and I cried, so 5/5.
Yesss exactly, so good and made me cry so much, such a good movie. I really love how respectful the boys were, incredible. More media needs to portray boys so respectfully 👏 👏 👏
I haven't seen a movie that has given me this kind of mixed emotions in a long time. I was not a foster child, but I was adopted, by two loving parents. Because my mother could't keep me, they we're not wealthy, but they gave me a lot of love, I was lucky. they have since passed, and I have my own children now, but I will never forget what they did for me. I am also a cat lover, I have a cat too, we have been pals for 15 years.
@@nadirimyers6643 Thanks Nadiri, I was one of the lucky ones. My children have grown into well adjusted adults, they are in there late 20's. They miss their grandparents, All we can do is work is with the hand we are dealt, life is good, it can be good.
The sad part was she, herself doesn't even realize that she's being abused☹ Like somewhere in this world, this is actually happening. No one deserves to be treated like this☹ Praying that things get better to those, never lose hope and never be afraid to seek help when they needed it so much. If there is someone that you know suffering like this, Let them feel that they are good and they deserve better. Good life, good environment, and good family. Be a family.
The trauma of losing her only support system, her loving mom and then thrown into an abusive family and dehumanized. So sad that she doesn't even know love or recognize abuse. She is so apologetic because she has only known hatred for ten years. This unfortunately, happens to kids in foster care.
I recently realized that this happened to me, I had no idea and I thought that I was the reason for my mothers suffering. She always went on and on about how she does everything for us but her actions betrayed her words and since she had been telling me this for so long I believed it. When I realized I was really shocked because I thought she was the perfect mother because that’s what she told me.
When your abused, you don't have the confidence to stand up for yourself and you tend to see the best in others. You keep hoping that if you do everything right then they will treat you better or at least you can avoid their wrath. Or you just shut down emotionally and withdraw to a space where no matter what they say, you'll just let everything bounce off you. Basically just dead inside. Its hard once you leave because you worry about how they will retaliate. Without a support system behind you to catch you, it can be really hard to leave.
Wow. I'm speechless. I did not expect that, when I clicked... This is the best adaption of modern Cinderella, that I have ever seen. Authentic, non-dramatic, relatable and heartfelt. Really, really very well done!!
Also I like dhow the blonde dude called out the abuse...He said what he said...He is a emotionally intelligent King!!!!! We need more like him at this age!!!
I know this is just a low budget film but I cried multiple times. It's relevant and well written. It's on point when it comes to emotional child abuse. I myself have experienced physical and emotional abuse by my mom. Just like the main character, I did not know it was abuse at that time. The rest of my family were also my mom's victims including my dad. Until now, he does not acknowledge the abuse because he is still under her manipulation. Thankfully I have a "Bryant" in my life, my husband. He removed me from my situation and made me realize what I have been through. He made me see things from a different point of view to better understand what happened to me. This is the best and most relevant Cinderella story ever. ❤
I'm happy now you're happy ❤ and say thanks to your husband by my side he is a amazing person indeed! And hope you and your family stay happy wish you beautiful life ahead beautiful 💗
I too had a “Bryant” and we just celebrated our 20 yr Anniversary this past Oct 31. With 5 amazing kids and a foundation on Jesus … we made it! Lol I made it. ❤️🛐❤️🛐❤️✝️ Btw … My mom was a monster that still isn’t a part of our lives. Fortunately my husband (at the time my boyfriend) stood up for me when my mom tried to attack me, not only did she never do that again, I never had to live with her again.
This what we called a pure entertainment. The people who had gone through traumas or going through this can relate to this. The ending literally mad me cry when she said " After losing my mom this was my dream to have a family again"❤❤❤❤
I love the fact that this movie portrayed realism and mental health rather than just romance. It definitely was refreshing to see how the 'love triangle' was respecting and comfortable rather than toxic and a 'you have to choose' scenario. I think that the actress did an incredible job in displaying the emotions that you would see in real life if you were in this situation. Overall, great movie, and I love how refreshing and realistic this was. edit: mom im famous!
When i first saw this,I thought that the comments were wrong about the movie being good but oh my gosh I was extremely wrong! This movie is awesome and the best movie ever! I hated cinderella since I was a child but this movie made me love cinderella! ✨finally a movie where the girl stands up for herself and that is focused on the abuse and child services are called! Hats off to this movie,actors,characters,writers and directors! ✨the abuse realisation part after 1:00:00 in the movie was awesome well written and deserves an oscar!
Yeah, I agree. It tell an honest less fairytale story about the ups and downs of adopted kids. Sure not all adopted kids are treat this way but the unlucky few might.
Everyone's talking about how Indy and Bryant met but no one's talking about how they highlighted on emotional abuse and how normalized it was for Indy that she thought it was okay. You people really let that fly over your heads. Edit: I understand that not everyone let it fly over their heads. If you're replying to tell me it didn't, stop yourself; I acknowledge your existance.
Those are the key words... thinking how normal it was to be constantly emotionally cut down!!! And how true that the abused one most often is told it is because of them, so they feel confused and guilty. What a great exposure to some of that and in such a gentle way of showing it that most anyone can learn from it without being totally overwhelmed. May this film help anyone who is in such a situation of emotional abuse, to start to recognize it and reach out for help... and get exactly the help they need to move positively forward in their lives. And when are we as a human race going to realize that all education will be at its best when it includes teaching and learning skills in daily life such as: being able to make yourself healthy meals, balance your own finances, be fluent in congruent communication, know conflict resolution and de-escalation skills, how to unwind in healthy ways, and how to do your laundry, clean up after yourself and manage your time wisely ... amongst so many other daily? When we have these basic skills, we will be better people because our inner tensions tend to drop when we feel confident. And when we begin to feel relaxed enough energy tend to be more generous with our kindness.
If only most parents would feel that way, I always thought my real mother never even cared because as I heard her reason to give me up at birth was too have another man, he didn't want her she was carrying me..Hope she's enjoying her new man.
This was recommended by UA-cam and I decided to watch it With everything around happening I really felt better after this film such a sweet film. Loved the fact that there was no drama between maxton and Bryant like other films
Not the best acting but the amount of respect and consent that indie gets from both her guy friend and Bryant/his fam is refreshing also A+ for the realism of calling CPS on the aunt and uncle
I can’t see the bad acting that people speak of. It felt very natural to me... teens are so awkward and that was portrayed very well. Perhaps you never were exposed to emotional abuse?
@@louisegogel7973 nah dude emotional abuse has nothing to do with this, the acting was bad the characters don't feel like real people you can feel they're reading from a script
Ok, at first I thought this was a cute movie, but after watching the whole thing, it's so much more. It really shows us how important it is to treat others well.

This the 3rd cindrella movie I watched. And dude everytime I watch a cindrella movie I can't help but cry.
One line that was a takeaway from this movie was “the problem with abusive people is that they always think they are right”
They always think they are JUSTIFIED!!!!
I was sharing a bit about why I ended my marriage to someone I trust and his response to what I shared was "hurt people hurt people." Doesn't make what my ex did right but I felt validated that the emotional abuse I was receiving had very little to do with me more like I was simply available

See the contrast between the two kinds of people. The utterly selfish greedy and the great young friend who greasciously unselfishly stepped back to let her know that he will still be her friend even though he lost her as his girlfriend and also the father of Bryan's unselfish wise way of taking care of the girl. True Love is when the other persons happiness is more important than your own.

I love the fact that the dad is encouraging his son to be respectful, is supporting his son in letting the girl he likes choose, and is bringing his attention to his kind heart.
That's really true

@mackenziegohdes yes.
I say it again, 'You can't give what you don't have'. Bryan is from a home of love, kindness, care, respect.....and no wonder Bryan became like that. Its a movie to be recommended , a lot to learn if you are willing to learn.
The most important lesson for me is two types of men shown in the movie "Problem-Solvers" and "Problem-Managers".
Max never thought of bringing her out of the problem ,he didn't think far to the level of asking for help.....just stay calm, be good, do the dishes early ,try to make the breakfast early , don't leave any area unclean ,...just try to keep been used, maltreated, abused ,for as long as they give you shelter.

The problem with abuse is that it becomes your “normal”.
You learn to endure and survive and adapt. Indy’s acting skills were spot-on when Bryant’s sisters hugged her, and when she got served breakfast and when she couldn’t identify that she was living under abuse

Can we all appreciate that this is how teenagers should behave when dealing with "rejection". Seeing these emotionally stable teenagers is what we need more of in television shows. Open communication, respect, trust, friendship, moving on. Loved this.
HAH i wish I could behave like i “should”
when i got rejected it took me months AND every night crying because i liked this guy for three years before telling him.. only to be assured that he liked one of my really good friends..
if only i could be more emotionally stable 😂
This is how ADULTS should behave when dealing with rejection. I hate to say this, but as a woman you will have to deal with this all your life; not abuse, but remembering to love yourself enough to veer away from abusive people. They are everywhere, even more so now. Equality for all is a steep hill this nation (US) has a long way to climb. Many of us who've been struggling up it for 50+ years...well you start to lose your ability to have compassion for people who are abusive because they believe you don't have the right to be happy because of your skin color or who you love. Be aware enough about your life to realize that while you may lust after someone because they are cute, it doesn't mean they're going to treat you well. If you have to make excuses for the way someone else behaves towards you, that person doesn't have your best interests at heart and is making you not have your best interests at heart either. When someone shows you who they are, believe them.
@@lynnc766 my amazing friends helped me get through it.. it’s been a few months and i feel significantly better than when it first happened. Yes, it took a long time to start accepting it. I cried a lot and it hurt to see him everyday but now that i haven’t seen him in a while it hurts a lot less. I’ve gotten to the point where i don’t even think about it every day.. although i do quite often when i have nothing else to think about.
And also.. You wouldn’t want to continue life with someone who doesn’t think he can love. I’m happy you get along better now. I know for my parents it was hard because my dad told my mom that he wasn’t cut out to be a family man, and walked out. We still see him and i couldn’t be more happy to have my step parents in my life. It would be a lot different without them and honestly i couldn’t imagine life without them. I know i’m only 14 so some may say i don’t know what i’m talking about.. but really.. some things happen for the better and you just have to learn to appreciate it. I know for a fact that have
@@cassiebanks Absolutely. Adults need this as well, my point, they learn how to deal with emotions in childhood. If they are never taught how to handle rejection, that someone saying no is okay, boundaries, hurt feelings, they turn into dysfunctional adults. We all see it every day. Codependence, excuse-making, abusive relationships. If the parents are going to fail their children, at least being exposed to more content like this would be better for them.
Really, maybe I can learn something then. Here goes....
This is the first movie I've ever seen where the main characters are honest and transparent to each other and the conflict arises from the antagonists being the bad guys! Such a cute movie.

This story is the best example to show the difference between your best friend and lover . Your best friend is who makes you fill happy and comfortable in every situation just like Max who knows everything happening to her But he never tried to take her out from that situation . And a lover is who can do anything to get you out from every toxic situation or people just like him .
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrright
In the beginning I also thought the same. But I guess the real differentiator between maxtern and Bryant was the money and class. Bryant has the house of his father where he could ask indy to stay, also he has his father's money to ask her for date in restaurant and the respect and status of his father because of which he is treated very nicely by Clarice even when seen with indy. On the other hand maxtern didn't have all these perks. He belongs to very ordinary background. He couldn't openly communicate his feelings unlike Bryant. It's because of his (middle class) upbringing i guess where one is not taught to openly express their feelings especially in case of love and relationship. He was hesitant, not sure of her feeling, fear of rejection or loosing on friendship with her. But as indy says to him in the end that he was there with her during some of her worst times. I accept that he couldn’t or didn't do some material or concrete things to make her situations better but in such situation even listening to someone is something to be grateful for. I was also offended by maxtern not responding properly to her call after that incident. And I still feel that he could have done better. But if I look through his perspective, then I think his rather cold response should not be seen in isolation. That's product of several things. 1. He himself was in a difficult situation at hospital. 2. He has been listening to her grievances for years and may be there would have some instances where she would have told similar incidents and that’s why he might have not been able to fathom the intensity of the situation. 3. Suppose, even he would have understood her situation and he wanted to her. But how could have he helped apart from just talking to her, comforting her emotionally. On the level of material help, I guess he was helpless. He was just a student like her. He might not have space like Bryan which he could have offered to her. Neither his father is a therapist and who has knowledge of all the legalities of the situation. Because on practical level all this was needed. Even Bryant talks to his father before asking indy to stay at his house. But I give full credit to the Bryant's father for Raising him into a such a gentleman. He is genuinely a very kind hearted person. He really understands the situations and is also very mature and respectful.
Note- I don't completely turn down your point. Even my heart says Bryant is the hero. I idealises him. But on practical level I connect more with Maxtern personally because ideals are rarely possible or if it's possible then it's very rare. So right I guess I am like Maxtern aspiring to be Bryant. So considering Maxtern an underdog who didn't have a such a great father to fall back upon my mind compelled me to deconstruct the comfortable opinion and think against the grain😂
Great movie. Very raw and real portrayal of emotional abuse and I love the maturity of the main character and her love interests.

So, if you walked into a room and people were acting the way, the people were in this movie with that type of dialogue. You would think it was totally normal and natural and nothing about it would strike you is absolutely bizarre? I guess I just don’t see, how a movie with acting as bad as this when had in certain parts with dialogue as forced as a lot of it was could be considered real lol every other comment talking about how this is the most realistic interpretation of the reality of this sort of thing or that it’s the best version you’ve ever seen… I mean, this was like Hallmark movie quality corniness at points with acting in certain parts that was just so bad lol it was a inappropriate modernized take on the classic Cinderella trope… I guess another reason I don’t necessarily think it’s as incredibly realistic as I love you seem to think so. It’s because the most fucked up part about any of this is that most kids dealing with some type of abuse in the home, don’t get any help. Ever. So, I’m real happy you all think this fairytale isn’t just as much of a fairytale as it was, but what happens in this movie, the way it happens in this movie, that doesn’t happen in real life. Not the way it happened here. There’s nothing realistic about this movie.
On some of the parts I was crying so much. (Who else is watching this in 2024)
yea me too. ive seen this movie 6 times and ive only known about this movie for 2 weeks! this movie hits hard
Me🇬🇷 from Greece
This is my first time coming across this film... mid December 2024. It appears to be as timeless as the ancient folk story itself.
The story is presented well. Indy and even her closest friend never related her life experiences to being abuse. The closer you are, the hardest it is to see. [I couldn't even see how abusive my father was until he abandoned us--- we were released from our prison of fear and grew stronger.]
The acting of most cast seemed stiff in spots; but Bryant's observations, seeking advice from his father, not excluding her "best / boyfriend" and following through with his protective instincts makes this a great movie.
I'm watching it

She actually WAS NOT like other girls..!
I wish all teens could see this movie. Bryan is an example of a gentleman. He shows genuine care, and even when attracted to her, he exhibited respect and restraint. It was good to see a son and dad discussing things. And Bryan said she needed to figure things out with Macron. Then when he questioned that, his dad verbalized why he had done the right thing. So many good examples here.
And then...the syrup. Wow! What should be family's everyday functioning was new to her.

Bryant is technically her stepbrother. I think they should’ve made her like the best friend more, this way it feels like she’s obligated to be with Bryant to make up for, compensate for all his dad and he did for her. Also he’s now her stepbrother...
That’s the point of the movie, it’s to show a toxic relationship and an emotionally abusive home. That’s why it’s free

Exodus 20:7
This is the realest Cinderella ever. She didn't realize how bad her situation is (or maybe she did but didn't really mind it) until a really good and a bit pushy friend tells you to wake up. Emotional abuse isn't really obvious but it sucks your mind out. I personally have gone through this for 7 years with my ex-boyfriend, until a friend I just met really pushed me to move out. At least now I don't doubt my worth anymore. 🥰

@@saksiyah981 what was realistic about it? Are you inferring that it’s common reality for people who are victims of abuse, particularly those who are in the foster system or not being raised by their parents, to have a wealthy family that happened to be professionally involved in this type of advocacy just appear and provide you with a place to live and way to escape the situation without having to shoulder any cost? Then also getting hundreds of thousands of dollars at the end of it? That’s realistic? No… Most people who suffer through this kind of abuse never get out of the situation. Nobody helps them and it never gets better until they age out of the Foster care or run away from home. This is different, yes, but realistic? No. Not at all. It’s a fantasy, just like Cinderella has always been a fantasy. and it’s a good thing, gives people something to hope for… But, I’ve just seen far too many comments about how realistic this is and it just isn’t.

Eventually, we will let ourselves down too! Only the God of the bible can be trusted to be there for always!!
I wonder really, how many children at ten could be brave enough to confront their abusers. She was just a very strong and together child or maybe she just decided what do I have to lose.
The moment Maxton said he will call her tomorrow when she was reaching for help with tears in her eyes, it was the moment i knew that he doesn't deserve her at all. Remember Pink Sweat sang i need somebody who can love me at my worst, i felt that

He needs to know that if she's not into him and want him to be her friend, he should accept it
Don't force it 😔
This kind of low-budget movie is so refreshing to watch. It's worth the time.
This is the most realistic Cinderella I’ve ever seen
Tbh, when I saw her shaking and crying near the tree after running away, it was literally heartbreaking and I somehow saw myself in her place. How trauma feels, shaking, sobbing, loosing control over emotions and to feel such confusion over who you are.
While some of it is realistic the majority is not. They couldn't quite figure if she knew she was being abused or not. And the relationships with the boys were not realistic. No boy would just believe someone is in a relationship with them because the girl needed help while sick, and then never say anything or do anything to express that relationship. The whole thing gave me a bad vibe. And getting her a cat at the end was it for me. No one should just gift someone a cat. They never even asked her if she was ready for a cat. She just ran away from home and is in the middle of a court case where she found out that all of it was using her for her money. A cat is not a toy.

I would say 50/50. Its not like they are beating her. 300K over 17 years comes to a little over a thousand dollars a month. Peanuts. Actually, expecting someone to work for their stay isn't abuse, even if they don't treat her like their own children. But then, she is not their child. Believe me, she is 10000000% better off then she would be in the foster system, so actually, her aunt and uncle or whatever are doing her a huge favor, and if she isn't grateful, she should be. She certainly wouldn't have a cell phone of any kind.
@@martineshamzin7535 you have a lot of issues, truly hope you don't have kids with that narcistic mentality.
@@martineshamzin7535 You're honestly the most irritating person ever. Your mentality is just sadistic and fucked up. Just because they don't beat her up, means it's not serious? Lmao. You have no idea what mental and emotional torture can do to a person. Constantly being exposed to it can even make a person physically sick. THIS IS ABUSE.

This is just beautiful! the characters are written amazingly...this is how movies should be... I'm so glad I found it
I love how Bryant asked Cindy to give max a chance and how max was always talking then was like am good at communicating
Honestly, the communication in this movie is really good. In real life, people don't really insist on going as far as Bryant did here, just to find out how okay someone is and help them also, indy herself does eventually ask for help to. victims themselves, in my experience, actually try to hide stuff..
starts crying the moment the new meow arrives.
Also massive appreciation for the fact that all the actors look their age
Yep. That's I totally lost it, too!
I sat down in the library to write a paper thats due tomorrow and somehow ended up watching this instead. This was the best use of my time. This is now my favorite movie.
Did you finish your paper?
😊❤️😎💜💪🏽💖💕
Same!
You ain't the only one bestie!
P. S. Hope you finished your paper in time tho
That's so me. I was in between researching for journals, I took a break to refresh, and ended up watching an entire movie..!
I love how bryants dad is a therapist, it makes Bryants behaviours way more logical
This was one of the nicest movies I've ever seen. The boys were actually decent human beings who shared their feelings, with the main girl AND with a parent. Indie expressed how she was treated, she didn't try to be all mysterious. Because that's not how it is. When you live with abuse for almost all your life, it seems normal. I really, really liked it. Oh, and I cried, so 5/5.
Well said from your side. I love movies which talk about true love.
Yesss exactly, so good and made me cry so much, such a good movie. I really love how respectful the boys were, incredible. More media needs to portray boys so respectfully 👏 👏 👏
sameeeeeeeee i cried toooo wich for movies i do not do a lot
I haven't seen a movie that has given me this kind of mixed emotions in a long time. I was not a foster child, but I was adopted, by two loving parents. Because my mother could't keep me, they we're not wealthy, but they gave me a lot of love, I was lucky.
they have since passed, and I have my own children now, but I will never forget what they did for me. I am also a cat lover, I have a cat too, we have been pals for 15 years.
I’m so happy you got good parents and are raising kids of your own. My condolences for their passing 🙏🏾
@@nadirimyers6643 Thanks Nadiri, I was one of the lucky ones. My children have grown into well adjusted adults, they are in there late 20's. They miss their grandparents, All we can do is work is with the hand we are dealt, life is good, it can be good.
as Philips cat, I can confirm because I'm his cat using a fake UA-cam account haha.
Thank you for sharing your story, it is really beautiful :-) LOVE is the most important value in life . You are a blessed person.
@@agarthalartey6868 hehe, what a good cat you are, fake Agartha YT account, AKA his real cat. You did right to open a fake YT and let us know. Thanks.
the cat was my favorite character and they did him dirty🙄
His still alive
🤣🤣
Omg😆😆
they could of just had her et hurt and that's why he was sorry and all this still happen and her get the kitten but the cat still alive
True my dude
I ran away at 16-just to be safe. It is bringing back memories...
Finally a movie where the actors look, dress and speak like actual teenagers...
Right!
They could be in their early 20's but yes, they're not models, which is nice.
So true
Ikr!
Yeah
The sad part was she, herself doesn't even realize that she's being abused☹
Like somewhere in this world, this is actually happening. No one deserves to be treated like this☹ Praying that things get better to those, never lose hope and never be afraid to seek help when they needed it so much. If there is someone that you know suffering like this, Let them feel that they are good and they deserve better. Good life, good environment, and good family.
Be a family.
It's happening to a whole lot more people than you realize too.
And that part sucks 🙁
The trauma of losing her only support system, her loving mom and then thrown into an abusive family and dehumanized. So sad that she doesn't even know love or recognize abuse. She is so apologetic because she has only known hatred for ten years. This unfortunately, happens to kids in foster care.
I recently realized that this happened to me, I had no idea and I thought that I was the reason for my mothers suffering. She always went on and on about how she does everything for us but her actions betrayed her words and since she had been telling me this for so long I believed it. When I realized I was really shocked because I thought she was the perfect mother because that’s what she told me.
When your abused, you don't have the confidence to stand up for yourself and you tend to see the best in others. You keep hoping that if you do everything right then they will treat you better or at least you can avoid their wrath. Or you just shut down emotionally and withdraw to a space where no matter what they say, you'll just let everything bounce off you. Basically just dead inside. Its hard once you leave because you worry about how they will retaliate. Without a support system behind you to catch you, it can be really hard to leave.
@@esmeraldagems9487 It does suck I can imagine it in my head rn
Wow. I'm speechless. I did not expect that, when I clicked... This is the best adaption of modern Cinderella, that I have ever seen. Authentic, non-dramatic, relatable and heartfelt. Really, really very well done!!
Hello beautiful lady how are you doing over there....?

Watch the other Cinderella Story movies. Once Upon A Song is good, so is If The Shoe Fits. DJ Cinderella is pretty good too.
Tyre🧡🧡❣👌💝
Also I like dhow the blonde dude called out the abuse...He said what he said...He is a emotionally intelligent King!!!!! We need more like him at this age!!!
I know this is just a low budget film but I cried multiple times. It's relevant and well written. It's on point when it comes to emotional child abuse. I myself have experienced physical and emotional abuse by my mom. Just like the main character, I did not know it was abuse at that time. The rest of my family were also my mom's victims including my dad. Until now, he does not acknowledge the abuse because he is still under her manipulation. Thankfully I have a "Bryant" in my life, my husband. He removed me from my situation and made me realize what I have been through. He made me see things from a different point of view to better understand what happened to me. This is the best and most relevant Cinderella story ever. ❤
I'm happy now you're happy ❤ and say thanks to your husband by my side he is a amazing person indeed! And hope you and your family stay happy wish you beautiful life ahead beautiful 💗
I too had a “Bryant” and we just celebrated our 20 yr Anniversary this past Oct 31. With 5 amazing kids and a foundation on Jesus … we made it! Lol I made it.
❤️🛐❤️🛐❤️✝️
Btw … My mom was a monster that still isn’t a part of our lives. Fortunately my husband (at the time my boyfriend) stood up for me when my mom tried to attack me, not only did she never do that again, I never had to live with her again.
May you have a happy and blessed life ahead that heal your past
So beautiful
Thank you all for your kind words. 🙂
This movie was so unpredictable and not a cliche. I really enjoyed this film!
This is the most supportive love triangle, ever.
I know right
Really
Yeah
Hi
Good
This what we called a pure entertainment. The people who had gone through traumas or going through this can relate to this. The ending literally mad me cry when she said " After losing my mom this was my dream to have a family again"❤❤❤❤
I love the fact that this movie portrayed realism and mental health rather than just romance. It definitely was refreshing to see how the 'love triangle' was respecting and comfortable rather than toxic and a 'you have to choose' scenario. I think that the actress did an incredible job in displaying the emotions that you would see in real life if you were in this situation.
Overall, great movie, and I love how refreshing and realistic this was.
edit: mom im famous!
When i first saw this,I thought that the comments were wrong about the movie being good but oh my gosh I was extremely wrong! This movie is awesome and the best movie ever! I hated cinderella since I was a child but this movie made me love cinderella!
✨finally a movie where the girl stands up for herself and that is focused on the abuse and child services are called!
Hats off to this movie,actors,characters,writers and directors!
✨the abuse realisation part after 1:00:00 in the movie was awesome well written and deserves an oscar!
Yes! Agreed.
100000%
Exactly what is needed healthy friendship that have healthy boundaries
Yeah, I agree. It tell an honest less fairytale story about the ups and downs of adopted kids. Sure not all adopted kids are treat this way but the unlucky few might.
She's not Cinderella she's more than that she's an angel, Angel with full of courage
Agreed
Yes
Everyone's talking about how Indy and Bryant met but no one's talking about how they highlighted on emotional abuse and how normalized it was for Indy that she thought it was okay. You people really let that fly over your heads.
Edit: I understand that not everyone let it fly over their heads. If you're replying to tell me it didn't, stop yourself; I acknowledge your existance.
How could I ignore it lol those step parents are absolutely terrible- and the acting isn't rlly that good either lol but whatever
Really sad.
Those are the key words... thinking how normal it was to be constantly emotionally cut down!!! And how true that the abused one most often is told it is because of them, so they feel confused and guilty. What a great exposure to some of that and in such a gentle way of showing it that most anyone can learn from it without being totally overwhelmed.
May this film help anyone who is in such a situation of emotional abuse, to start to recognize it and reach out for help... and get exactly the help they need to move positively forward in their lives.
And when are we as a human race going to realize that all education will be at its best when it includes teaching and learning skills in daily life such as: being able to make yourself healthy meals, balance your own finances, be fluent in congruent communication, know conflict resolution and de-escalation skills, how to unwind in healthy ways, and how to do your laundry, clean up after yourself and manage your time wisely ... amongst so many other daily?
When we have these basic skills, we will be better people because our inner tensions tend to drop when we feel confident. And when we begin to feel relaxed enough energy tend to be more generous with our kindness.
It didn’t fly over my head, this was a good movie with a very important message.
thats abuse?...
This movie makes pray daily that i may live long enough to see my daughter grow. I cant imagine if she was to go through what Indy went through
If only most parents would feel that way, I always thought my real mother never even cared because as I heard her reason to give me up at birth was too have another man, he didn't want her she was carrying me..Hope she's enjoying her new man.
This was recommended by UA-cam and I decided to watch it
With everything around happening I really felt better after this film such a sweet film. Loved the fact that there was no drama between maxton and Bryant like other films
let’s be honest, youtube recommended this to u guys 😂 it did to me and i watched the whole movie
seriously?
Even I completed this movie here itself 😍🥰
@@arslan.it.student792 ya it's worth watching 😎
😂😂
For me too
Who else low-key wanted to see their prom and her cousins faces when they see her with Bryant like that 🥺♥️✌🏽
Oh yeah. I also wanted to see how the aunt and uncle reacted to her being gone
I wanted it too badly 😀
Me 😁
I was disappointed they didnt show it
YESSSSS
Not the best acting but the amount of respect and consent that indie gets from both her guy friend and Bryant/his fam is refreshing also A+ for the realism of calling CPS on the aunt and uncle
I can’t see the bad acting that people speak of. It felt very natural to me... teens are so awkward and that was portrayed very well.
Perhaps you never were exposed to emotional abuse?
@@louisegogel7973 nah dude emotional abuse has nothing to do with this, the acting was bad the characters don't feel like real people you can feel they're reading from a script
Agreed
@@poiien7816 Most teens seem to be reading from scripts in real life... have you noticed? I think the acting was spot on.
In real life CPS funnel children into human trafficking
The system is truly corrupt
honestly i busted out in tears when she stood up for her self and when he gave her that cute cat to makeup forkiller her old cat.
He didn't kill the cat, he murdered it
@@kookie._panda7529 yes😂😭😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺
Ok so I haven’t watched the movie yet but this was the comment that popped up at the top and I’m kinda scared now😂
@@emiliahansen5843 my comment was at top ? haha
Ok, at first I thought this was a cute movie, but after watching the whole thing, it's so much more. It really shows us how important it is to treat others well.
This movie made me in tears
To be honest, yes it’s a low-budget film, but it looks realistic. Unlike the others. It’s relatable!
Indys aunt and uncle are mad the indys dragging there name through the mud. Theregood name wasall ready inthe mud.
yepp,, its look natural.
I totally agree with you 👍
h jm f ng tm
@Danny Gonzalez
That one simple scene of her asking 'those are for me?' when Bryant asked if she wants syrup. That already made me tear up😭
Same for me, too. 😭
🥺🥺🥺
I was crying the hole movie 😂
