hey gorls! sorry for the reupload! i heard some of yalls comments about the audio being low so i tried my best to adjust it. currently traveling rn and i don't have my regular equipment so its not perfect. i always wanna try to put out quality content for u guys so bear with me
It is such an improvement, great job! It is a banger video so I'm glad everyone can enjoy its full glory now lol Thank you for listening to us here in the comments.
We are on the same page, girl! let's have a cinderella watch party stream on Disney plus xD The DRESS! Yes Hands down , most magnificent. I had chills just from the clips!
Great defense of 2015 Cinderella, glad to see someone out here waking people up!
Yoh should do ice princess
I don't know if you have seen Ever After but it is one of my favorite Cinderella adaptations along with the 2015 one, but if you haven't seen it I would definitely recommend watching it.
@@forever.l.a59414 I gave it 10 outta 10!😇🎳
I get so frustrated when people scream that movies aren’t feminist if they don’t have a female lead that yells at men about their rights and fights with a weapon. Quiet romantic stories can be feminist too. Cinderella’s gentleness, kindness, forgiveness, and emotional strength is a great example for young girls!!
Yes EXACTLY!
You can be both as gentle as dendelion knight and fierce as a lion fang knight.
my sentiments exactly!
@@adam.n-steve was that a genshin reference 👁👁
I’ve never heard anybody say that. It’s mainly corporations trying to profit off of feminism without caring about the actual movement that seems to think this is what people want, rather than individuals.
I think that the "why didn't she just save herself?" rhetoric also reveals a gross misunderstanding of what it means to be in a domestic abuse victim.
No one really wants to acknowledge that Ella did not have the resources to leave until she met the prince. It's not like she was being paid to do all of that labor work, nor did she have the time to seek outside employment. If she were to decide to leave, like so many people in the modern day want her to, she'd have nothing to support her. There was no way Tremaine didn't know that when she dismissed the staff in the 2015 vers. She was deliberately trying to isolate Ella, and it worked. The prince, unfortunately, was one of the few people in her life who was able to get her out of that situation.
Idk, there's a distinct lack of empathy for Ella in the modern day that's really uncomfortable if you sit down and think about the reason why Cinderella is so disliked.
This ^^^ I dare anyone who asks why Cinderella didn’t save herself to say that to a real domestic abuse survivor. It’s such a huge slap in the face.
FR she also just lost her father and wants to keep what’s left of her family so she doesn’t completely lose him, personally I’ve never wondered why she didn’t leave
Absolutely agree
@@julessosaqtana6019 Hello??? They wanted her to abandon her house to these people? Like this is her mom and dad's home. Yeah folks are not really thinking when they disrespect Cinderella like this. Here is a woman who has zero resources and zero community. I mean she isn't even allowed to have community. Think about why the step mother refused to let Cinderella go to the ball? It was to keep her isolated and alone because that is how she controls her. Plus being a woman with zero resources or community out in the world is exactly how you end up in even worse situations. The "save yourself/just leave" mindset is so harmful and unhelpful. Plus Cinderella does save herself by marrying the prince. Anybody with any type of experience/interactions with domestic abuse know that even trying to "save" a victim of domestic abuse cannot work unless the person emotionally ready and prepared. Anybody who had someone they love in an abusive relationship knows how hard/long it can take to convince them to leave. The fact that Cinderella left with the prince is her 100% saving herself. There are plenty of people that couldn't do that. Not everyone takes the help when you offer it to them the first time or even first few times.
Yes.
the casting could literally have not been more perfect.
they did what had to be done 🥰
Why does the prince look too old for Cinderella tho?
@@musicviolamusician4392 Definitely not, Richard Madden doesn't look too old comparing to Lily
@@15Candles yes he does, to me atleast
@@musicviolamusician4392 Definitely not, see it for yourself again. Put Richard and Lily together, in no way Richard looks too old compare to Lily
people forget where would she go?? she was raised in that home and being homeless was basically a death sentence or far worse than being a maid and while she's a hard worker, she was raised in wealth as a child and on her own she'd be possibly sold into prostitution or servitude with a strange family anyway.
also i always saw it as empowering? a man did not save her, she saved herself. had she not left her home, had she not been kind and blessed by her fairy godmother, the prince would've never known her and nothing would've happened. sure the idea of a man saving her seems to be the surface message, but to me she was the reason things worked out. the men almost left when she was locked in the attic it was the mice and her courage that pushed the movie forward and saved her. i see how some people see it as not being feminist and not empowering but idk i always did
So PERFECTLY said 🥺😭
Right, I always interpreted the main message to be that of Ella's determination and bravery. She never let her stepmother or stepsisters squash her dreams, and I admired that as a young girl.
@@shannonsmith6279Yes! I’ve commented something similar but couldn’t explain it, you said it perfectly
Also, I don’t think feminist means the same thing as it did before. Not trying to correct you, just stating a sad fact.
I feel like people who say they want “strong female characters” really mean they want masculine female characters, or at least a masculine ideal of what “strength” is- Ella has a very feminine strength of character and I love how positively its portrayed in the movie
agreed
Absolutely. There’s nothing wrong with being a feminine gentle yet strong character. People don’t think you can be both. We do it irl every day
The prince didn’t “rescue her”, the fairy godmother used her magic to help Cinderella leave the house and by that made a way for her to leave the horrible step-family. That’s how I always viewed it anyway.
same! also in the 1950's version I think her kindness also saved her, because if she wasn't kind to the animals/mice, they prob wouldn't have helped her escape the room the evil step mother locked her up in :)
Exactly! The fairy godmother essentially didn't do anything more than give her an opportunity to 1. See how people outside of that abusive dynamic lived and 2. Connect with people outside and have someone to care for her and help her get out of that environment. Cinderella was brave to break the rules her stepmother set, and to talk to other people, and then again to appear for the prince when he went to the house searching for her. She wasn't meek; as soon as she saw chances of escape she took them
Even though we all know the story, I liked that Lily James and Cate Blanchett put their own spin on Cinderella and the Stepmother. Helena Bonham Carter was fabulous as always in her cameo. Plus, the costumes were gorgeous, particularly the iconic blue ballgown. 💙😍
I'll like to point out how good Richard Madden is as The Prince. The best part is that the movie gave the prince more depth and personality especially in the third act where he joins his army in search for Ella in disguise, that scene alone improves upon the original
I’m a guy and uh, I find this movie incredibly wholesome and perfect. I didn’t even know some ppl hated it
Lol same. Of course i know a lot of people hated the Aladdin, The Lion King, Mulan remake but Cinderella?? I watched the movie many times and i don't understand if there are people who hated it, it basically offers almost everything you want from a Cinderella story
I'm honestly so tired of feminists ignoring the context of this story. Number one her step family have robbed her inheritance and essentially enslaved her into servitude. They also emotionally abuse her and possibly physically abuse her as well. Number two victims of abuse don't just wake up one day and decide to fight back. If humans worked like that abuse would be far less common. Number three where would she go? This story takes place in what the 1830s at the latest? What are her options for employment given her limited education and time period? Servant of some sort (maid, house keeper, cook, nanny, governance) many those require education and references which she won't get. Depending on the time period she might be able to work in a factory (where she'll be treated just as terrible and possible injur herself) or prostitution. That's the reality of her situation. Cinderella is Ultimately a story about bad things happening to a good person and her overcoming them. She does not let the cruelty and injustice she has experciend change her kind soul. She originally wants to go to the ball to have a night off and dance. Not marry a prince. It's her kindness that saves her not a man. Also marriage has historically been one of many ways that woman have protected themselves sorry to break it to you feminists. Overall the story has a great message about being virtuous in the face of adversity and torment a message every little girl (and boy) should know.
Cinderella didn't wait for a man to save her. She just wanted a night of fun and she found love along the way.
Lily James Trajectory: (recently)
- The Daughter of a Marquis and Marchioness
- Cinderella
- One iconic movie after another
- Pamela Anderson
We STAN Lily James in this house.
I have always felt that this movie was grossly underrated. The score alone takes me out every time along with the gorgeous scenes. I have never agreed with the idea that Cinderella is not the strong, independent princess like some of the others are. Her willingness to continually be kind, even when the world is so cruel to her, leaves me speechless. The forgiveness scene at the end had me in tears the first time I watched it. Cinderella is so strong and loving. My children will be forced to watch this movie :).
its not underrated though it has over 500 million dollars in the box office.
I’m so glad most of the comments are defending Cinderella (1950) and understanding why she stayed. The conversation she has with the dog, Bruno shows she’s just grateful to have a roof over her head. Also it’s VERY hard to leave abusive relationships. I also liked that the mice worked so hard to rescue her. It shows the value of making strong connections and helping those in need. She saved and befriended them and they were willing to do the same for her.
Anyway, this video is interesting to me, considering I feel pretty meh about this particular Cinderella. I do think the dress is stunning, but that’s all that stands out to me. It’s not bad, I just don’t have a desire to see it again.
Still, this is a great video and I can appreciate the movie.
I love this movie. I think Cinderella has always been an admirable character, her gentleness and kind heart is just often mistaken for passivity or weakness. Especially in the 2015 version, Ella's kindness IS her strength, and I like that the movie shows it as such. Soft and strong is a tough combination to have, but Ella has it in abundance. :)
Rather than about someone being from a collectivistic or individualistic upbringing, I think it's more about privilege. People who say "Why doesn't she just leave instead of waiting for a man?" are much too privilege to see that it's simply not that easy. Not everyone has a safety net outside of their families, however abusive that family is. What rubs me off the wrong way about these women saying that about Cinderella is it makes me feel that they lack the compassion towards people who are actually inside toxic or abusive relationships. It screams "victim-blaming" to me.
I just love her pure kindness it’s honestly so refreshing and admirable especially with all that she went through
I love this movie. The story and the characters is so improved. Lilly James is my favorite actress and when she did interviews promoting the movie she is so kind and just embodies Cinderella kindess. It is the best live action Disney movie. Have courage and be kind is an amazing quote too
Cate Blanchett never disappoints. The costumes are wonderful, you can see that a lot of thought and care was put in into it. This is also my favourite Disney princess live action adaptation.
it’s very difficult for me to turn away from my previous belief that cinderella, much like Kiera Knightley said, waited around for a man to save her. Nowadays, it’s come more to my attention that there wasn’t really anything she could do. Women couldn’t really work, except as servants or prostitutes. You couldn’t just marry anybody- marriage was more class based, i think, so marrying up was like unheard of unless you were a man. she had no money, no title, no friends, and no other family. She had no way to make money other than prostitution or servitude, and even those jobs wouldn’t have allowed her to live a fulfilled life because she would still be extremely poor and unhappy. I’m starting to also understand how strong she was in order to continue to be kind and loving when she was never shown any kindness or love from the people she cared for. She wasn’t a pushover, as i thoughtlessly believed,even in the original animation. She stood up to her stepmother and stepsisters on behalf of other people (or to the stepmother’s cat, who was a MENACE, on behalf of the mice etc), she managed to eke a promise out of her stepmother to attend the ball and dared to argue with her when she backed out, and she didn’t want to go to the ball to find a husband, she just wanted a night of fun and laughter and kindness. she was absolutely an icon, and just because she wasn’t physically badass (as mentioned in the beginning of the video) and didn’t have any magic of her own, doesn’t mean she wasn’t very strong and awesome in her own, understated way. It has taken me YEARS to even be able to say these things and i can now say that cinderella is one of my favourite disney princesses (also, A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes is such a good song oh my goodness)
oh, you don’t need to defend this movie. it’s everything to me
You're right and YOU should say it👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Costumes, the additions to the original plot, casting, set, I could go on... It's iconic and should be recognized as the standard when creating a remake or a fairlytale.
That scene where Cinderella comes back from the ball in the 2015 version is COMEDY GOLD! 👏🏽
YES to cinderella 2015 supremacy!! in all honesty, all the live-actions remakes that came after just feel like pure disappointment after this one. the only one that comes closer to it in my opinion is cruella but that's not even a remake
while the original cinderella sequels dive into this a bit, I would love to see a version of cinderella where she has some sort of bond and gets sympathy from the step sisters during the original story. weirdly, the 2021 version touched on this a little bit with her making a few jokes with the step sisters and (less weirdly) the 2015 version hinted at the possibility of the step sisters knowing what they're doing to Ella is wrong in the dress ripping scene (basing this purely on a small acting choice made by Sophie mcshera when she calls the dress a joke) and Ella's pity for them. in a way, the step sisters are victims of lady Tremaine too since they've been taught to be cruel and seeing them break that cycle would so cool and actually original.
I would love to see a version where she starts bonding with one or both of the step sisters and in the end they too break free from the step mother, maybe they even break her out if we stick closely to the traditional telling. I think what would be important in a version like this would be that in the very end, they go their separate ways or the film makes it obvious that everything isn't ok between them. Since while the step sisters siding with Ella at the end is a start, they still took part in her abuse for years and showing that a potential rebuilding of that relationship is going to take time would be a really good thing and is something that media that does those kinds of redemption arcs really well tend to fail at (thinking about how Scorpia from she-ra reboot just immediately forgives catra at the end even though catra treated her horribly)
ever after
@@mjhayes651 Yes! I was thinking of that one too! Another good Cinderella retelling 😊
I’m so happy to see the terms ‘Collectivistic’ vs ‘Individualistic’ Societies. I remember reading about it earlier in Psychology and I’m happy to see it enter the chat. #SocialSciencesSupremacy
I didn't realize this film needed defending. Everyone I know loved/loves this. It brings the magic of Cinderella and is just...idk, it feels like a fairy tale for adults. To this day, everyone I know loves this.
Richard Madden with his beautiful eyes looking at Lily James as he fumbles through his words to ask her for the first dance OMG THE CHEMISTRY 🔥
I remember my eyes sparkling when I watched this movie for the first time, I dont understand the hate for this live action
Beautifully said! This is the only one of the live action remakes that I like, and I agree with all your points. I'll add this: one reason it's so good is that they really lean into the fairytale of it. It doesn't make fun of the story, and it doesn't seem to think the characters are stupid for behaving the way they do. Everything is magical, from the costumes to the performances to the score, and it's like you're allowed to be truly invested in the magic. One of the things I loathed the most about Beauty and the Beast is that their need to "improve" the story makes you feel stupid for liking the original characters in the first place. Thank god they didn't have Cinderella invent a washing machine in this.
On why she didn’t leave - Cinderella is always depicted as this hopeful and optimistic woman. You could very well reason that she was hoping that her stepmother would one day turn around and love her back. Plus, the stepmother and sister (and the house) were the only things left that would connect her to her parents.
Though Brandy's Cinderella will always be my favorite and hold a special place in my heart, I never thought this version was bad. I enjoyed it and thought the message was good, and I loved the addition of the Prince's story. That was my favorite part.
Cinderella, as a story and a character, always gets a bad name. I really dislike that because I really value her as a character and the story/ lessons she teaches us about resilience, kindness and how positivity can bring you out of any darkness - mentally, emotionally, and eventually, physically.
I come from an individualistic society, I've just lived Cinderella's life so I know how hard it is to leave. I was lucky enough to have a support system that made it possible for me to leave but it still took me literal years to understand exactly how wrong it was that I was treated the way I was. Criticizing Cinderella as anti-feminist is worse than victim blaming, it's a complete lack of understanding how abuse works.
EDIT: also yes this is the best version of Cinderella and the best live action Disney Princess remake, these are facts.
I hate when Cinderella is seen as weaker or dumber then other princess for not running away because as someone from an abusive household I know it's not that easy, not only did she lack the money to survive on her own she was also isolated and made to believe that's what her life should be like since she was young. When she gets help from the prince and the fairy godmother she's essentially getting a support group, she's shown kindness and given a way of survival outside her abuser's home, this is how plenty of people raised in these environments escape and that's perfectly fine, getting help it's okay and doesn't mean you aren't strong enough, anyone who survived abuse is strong.
The narrative of "she never wanted to leave and only went to the ball for a man" always makes me feel bad too, my mom used to interpret the movie like that but Cinderella didn't go to the ball for the prince, she wanted to have fun, to be allowed to do the same things all the other girls do, to be away from home even if just for a single night, meeting the prince was an accident, a good one but not part of her plan
GURL I STAND BY YOU! cinderella was always my fav princess and this version was FLAWLESS FR FR, thank u so much for this video, now i can just send the link to it for my friends without needing to send 30min long audios of why cinderella is the best cinderella
It's literally my favourite live action as well!! It's so good, it's gentle and beautiful plus it isn't a carbon copy of the other Disney classics, which is how I feel about all the other remakes, which are the same to even the script. This one is a different retelling with the classic Disney charm
i watch this cinderella movie at least every other month and it never fails to give me goosebumps. it truly was magical.
I'm so glad you made a video on this version of Cinderella because it's been my favorite since the first day I watched it in the cinema. There are so many things I adore about this movie that you've mentioned and I always wondered why it's not talked about as much as the other Cinderella remakes. The casting, the acting, the costumes, the soundtrack, and the moral of the story (Have courage and be kind) were all fantastic. 💙💙
Only true 90s kids will remember when this was first uploaded 😔👊
Cinderella 2015 is the only good live action remake of Disney
I don't think it's even the fact that Cinderella may prioritize her family over herself (could be, I'm not sure what was the cultural background of the author) but that it is just hard to endure the process of realising the abuse, contemplating leaving, planning it and finally leaving, especially since she didn't have any resources to organize that until she met the prince.
I only saw it a couple years ago bc of moderngurlz, I am such a Cinderella girl and I just loved it. The costumes were STUNNING. Loved how they brought the butterflies for the transformation, as I was obsessed with her animal friends and dress as a kid. That blue dress was EVERYTHING.
My favourite adaptation (apart from the 2015 Edition) was ‘A Cinderella Story’ because it starred two teen heartthrobs. Also, Jennifer Coolidge obviously. #ImAVeryAppealingPerson
Lily and Richard were also in a production of Romeo and Juliet together. They were incredible.
In defense of…? I thought it was agreed upon that Cinderella (2015) was Disney’s best live action movie (which I wholeheartedly agree with)
When you talked about how coming from collectivistic society might influence how you view Cinderella , i related to that! , i never saw Cinderella as " a woman waiting for a man " , i saw her as victim mostly (i sure was mad because she didn't stand up for herself at times, but i think it was more of her Father's job to protect her )
When people say she could just leave. Where would she go? Where would she live? She has no money.
i’d argue that the story of cinderella is 100% feminist
The styling was IMMACULATE
Shoutout to the unsung heroes aka the Technicians who made ‘Cinderella’ (2015).
In the 1950s Cinderella there was going to be a scene where the prince was hunting a deer, but then it turned out they were friends and he wasn't going to actually kill him. It was storyboarded but not in the final film. Could this have inspired the stag scene in 2015? 🤔
I 100% agree with you about this film. I watched it for the first time a few months ago with my daughters. At the end, I said, “That movie had no right being as good as it was!” I loved it! I’m baffled as to why it isn’t streaming on Disney+.
haven’t watched yet but this is still the most aesthetically pleasing live action disney has put out. like maleficent might be my favorite plot wise but this movie is TOO beautiful.
I really enjoyed this video! It was so clear how much you love the film, and I agree that it is Cinderella's BEST dress. It is such a good remake, the characterisations, plot improvements/subtle details and costumes are real standouts here. Glad to see someone championing it. Although my favourite live-action Disney remake has to go to Beauty and the Beast, omg I just adore it.
This shouldn't even need defending. I wish Maleficent had followed this example and hope Snow White does in the future: give the princess more screentime and develop the love interest.
I love this version so much! Glad to see someone talk about it in so much detail
I agreed, this is basically the only Disney princess adaptation that I really enjoyed watching. My favourite scene was how both Ella and Kit met. I saw this video essay on love at first sight that is just very much well explained and would like to shared it if that's cool, ua-cam.com/video/apJZIL5iWck/v-deo.html
This might literally be my favorite video of yours yet. Very well researched, you made excellent points, and you motivated me to go and rewatch this beautiful gem thank you
Yes to everything you said in this video I completely agree. One thing I think that just solidifies why this movie works is that the Cinderella template is simply a good template. There is a reason why it has been done over and over again. And in this case I feel like they did everything right in both staying true to the bones of the story and not gilding the lily but at the same time really enhancing it with the visuals and emotional beats
Even tho I'm from a collectivist culture, my reasoning for not being bothered by Cinderella staying put was always more historical and material. At the time the story is set, even if she left she'd have no money or references and would end up as a mistreated servant somewhere else, or worse. By staying at least she can keep her connection to the place she was born and had a happy childhood and to the animals as well. Leaving would also be accepting this is not her house anymore, and I do think she has some sense of ownership over her home.
We missed your videos so much but this video is so cool that it was worth the wait.
it’s sucks that this video needed to be re-uploaded (which is fine) and i said last time and imma say it again
cinderella (2015) > cinderella (2021) i said what i said 😏
Everyone is saying she got rescued by the prince when, in fact, she saved herself for a night using her power of kindness, and then the prince came to find her on his own accord.
And still, she couldn’t leave. Trauma does that, traps you in the idea of “Why leave when you’ve gotten used to the horrible place you are right now? Maybe outside of that dark place it’s actually even darker.”
The amount of serotonin that I got from watching your wonderful review, no lie was said.
This is such a great movie, and the saddest thing for me was that I expected this level of quality from the live action adaptations that followed and none were up to the standard of this.
One of my favorite parts of this movie is how a lot of the costumes, especially cate blanchetts, also had 1950s influences to call back to the og animated version
I absolutely love this take and I agree wholeheartedly, it is a fantastic live action. You really are one of the best channels on this entire platform:)
hii I won’t finish watching this video because i don’t want to see too much of the movie : you made me want to watch it! i actually adore cinderella because of her kindness and resilience through her family abuse. if you haven’t, you should watch the Take’s video on her it’s great!!
reposting my own comment from before - Cinderella 2015 for me can never EVER EVER touch the Whitney/Brandy version (so gorgeous!) - which even did some of the things you like most about this version only first! - but she's a cute girl for sure. (Cute next to gorgeous, gorgeous is gonna you know DEVOUR cute)
I love that last line. It’s one of my favourite meme quotes 😂
OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS IVE BEEN SAYING FOR SO LONG THAT ITS THE BEST DISNEY LIVE ACTION I LOVE THIS MOVIE DEARLY AND THE ACTORS REALLY MADE THE CHARACTERS COME TO LIFE AND FEEL MAGICAL AND REAL
i just know this is abt to be a BANGER
I came across this video a year too late but I loved it! I was obsessed with the animation as a kid and I had to get a "have courage and be kind" tattoo because I loved the live action so much!
I agree. This rendition of the Cinderella story....was by far the best one ever! I am actually shocked that most people haven't seen it.
Cinderella is the best live action movie!! Love everything about the story, especially little Ella and her parents 👸🏼🪄👠💙 Also, enjoyed Aladdin the song, Speechless has been on repeat for me
Love this adaptation. It shows that kindness is a strength (Ella obviously)
Thank you for this. I absolutely love this movie, in particular the way they fleshed out the prince, and I straight up cry every time I see Kit with his father for the last time. I love that the stepsisters ugliness isn’t physical, but ugliness of character. For me, this movie can never get enough praise. Disney did live action fairy tale right at least one time. It could happen again!
dude, I swear, the comments about Cinderella's dress and her WAIST . . . . . . . to ther parents who posted that wanting to "protect their kids from body problems", that says a lot more about you then those kids who are way more focused on how pretty and magical and fairy-like the dress is and the lessons about beliving in yourself. Good lord, instead of tiny waists, can we please talk more about the actual story? thanks. Apologies for the comments, I'm just a little pissed that that's what some viewers focus on.
Cause, seriously, Cinderella's probably the most iconic and one of my favorites because of how gentle and kind she is towards everyone, which is a form of bravery. And honestly, having courage and being kind is probably more of a badass move then stabbing someone with your shiny metal sword. :3
It is Disney's best live action remake. It's not even a competition. I have re-watched the movie several times. Now is it my favorite adaption of Cinderella? No. That belongs to Roger and Hammerstein's Cinderella. Idk if it is even second because I love Ever After too. All I will say it is top 3 Roger and Hammerstein at number 1, with the placements of 2nd and 3rd TBD.
Cinderella 2015 is not even a guilty pleasure I like to watch It's just a good movie.
I feel bad for all of these celebrity's kids💀 yikes, they're missing out on a lot💔
cinderella and Kit meeting before the ball was already done by some cinderella series and the reason she went other that to dance was to meet her friend there. so this gave more dept and meaning to their relationship. also the waist problem people talks about, corset was the undergarment of the old era, the bra or the modern day. when worn properly its job is to support the bosom. and the waist looking smaller is an optical illusion, the shape of the dress and how big and wide it is makes her waist smaller.
it feels like it's been forever since we've heard from you😭
missed y’all 💕💕
It would be interesting and fun to watch a Kit backstory with Richard in it and a younger actor for Kit and see him with his parents and his activities and hobbies as a prince. 😍
HIII I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS GORL! KEEP SLAYING
Thank you so much for this video, I agree completely. I love that they made a classic fairytale instead of trying to put some kind of spin on it. Cinderella's power is having courage and being kind, it's a beautiful movie. It always makes me cry at the end when she is kind to Lady Tremaine and tells her she forgives her, despite everything she put her through. Our words and actions are our superpowers.
Reason why I love this movie is because Cinderella a feminine, beautiful, sweet, maiden women; not a female boss, feminist, anti-male type.
Anyone else hearing this high pitched noise every few minutes in this video that sounds like a dolphin in the water? I kept rewinding & it kept happening at the same points
Patrick Doyle did do a great score and I loved his work in the Emma Thompson-Ang Lee version of ‘Sense and Sensibility’ (1995). That soundtrack is something else.
i totally agree with everything you said ! you just gained a new subscriber :)
You're absolutely right and I'm so glad you said it
I come from background that's a blend of both collectivist and individualistic. (Mixed race, but born and raised in Canada). It still makes sense to me as to why she stayed. People have to remember the Disney version takes place in 19th century France. Cinderella, and other women in a similar situation, didn't have many options. Safe houses didn't exist back then. Cinderella didn't have the resources to take the plunge out of the home until she met the prince. The only real options for her were to: become a hermit or join a convent. Both aren't very good. Hell, even now it's hard for anyone to get out of those situations. Criticizing Cinderella as anti-feminist is not only victim blaming, it shows that the person has no understanding of how abuse situations actually work.
Ella basically had no one left in the world to love and care for her, is it not fitting she found love in the end, even if it was romantic love?
No cause this and the roger and hammerstein’s Cinderella are my favourites and the others don’t even come close - the costuming, the score, the colour scheme - yes to all
Ru kidding me
It’s literally better than a certain

Very thoughtful video! I also loved your Make it or Break it vid! Are you planning on making a sequel to that one?
Cate Blanchett Excellence is what the world needs. I don’t make the rules. Also, we see her as a serious actress, but she’s a gay icon who ACED the campy vibes and great comic timing.
shes gay??
@@alexssssr I meant Icon for the gays.
@@PokhrajRoy. ohhhh
Perfect video. Thank you
It's so frustrating when people say "why didn't she just save herself", when it's completely valid to suffer a terrible situation if it means keeping a roof over your head. Ella is just a teenage girl with no family or support system. There's no place she could go and Lady Tremaine made sure she knew it. Even more so, Ella herself expresses to her friends (one of the dismissed housemaids prior to Tremaine firing them) that she's willfully choosing to remain in the house because her parents loved it. It's the one remaining thing from her golden childhood, so she tends to it in place of her parents. The Prince was one of the extremely few people who could see past her visage as a parentless servant girl and, not only recognize her value, but have the means to get her out of it.
I didn’t watch it at first but when I finally did I loved it- I completely agree
The title got me wondering who we defending the movie against 🤨
