In recent years, Disney has been keen to reuse classic IP, such as making animations into live-action movies, but unfortunately most of the finished products have not reached the level of the original animation. Recently, because of the casting, the little black mermaid and the brown Snow White have made people cry out for their childhood. Cinderella was not harmed because she had only been filmed a few years ago. But even the Disney version that is not a demon is not as good as other versions, and I don't believe it is compared to the "Cinderella" movies of different eras.
01 Cinderella (Disney Edition)
Cinderella (2015)
Starring: Lily James / Richard Madden / Kate Blanchett
Country of Production: United States / United Kingdom; Language: English
Synopsis: Lily James, who plays Cinderella, was a new flower in Hollywood, Richard Madden, who played the prince, became popular for the role of Rob Stark in "Game of Thrones", and Kate Blanchett, who played the stepmother. The casting wants to poke the audience's preferences, but the plot continues the common problem of Disney's live-action fairy tales - tepid, not as good as animation.
From the heart, Lily looks fresh, but she is more than generous but not amazing. Cinderella Ella only knows kindness from beginning to end, lacks other qualities, and has a flat character.
Kate Blanchett's aura is powerful and crushes Cinderella. The stepmother's clothing is well styled and can be seen.
The stepmother's two daughters are like two multicolored doves, which have no other function than to jump out and flash blind eyes.
Cinderella cross-dressing should have been the most brilliant segment. The skirt was large, layered, and blue, similar to blue cellophane paper.
Glass shoes that violate ergonomics, faithfully restore the animation. Crystal is crystal, and it also reflects multicolored light.
I didn't expect the best looking pumpkin cart.
Cinderella came to the prince and dominated the dance floor by skirt. However, looking at the colored skirts around, only the blue and white princes can wear a little.
The wedding dress pulls back a city, and Cinderella and the prince are like a pair of little sugar men on a cream cake.
02 "Love Story Innocence"
Ever After (1998)
Starring: Drew Barrymore / Anjelica Houston / Dogre Scott
Country of Production: United States; Language: English
Description: A novel and distinctive fairy tale adaptation. The story is set in the Renaissance period, and the Renaissance costumes in the film are exquisite and gorgeous. Just why does the title Ever After translate to "Love Story Innocence"? "Fairy tale love" is also more reasonable than the former.
Drew Barrymore portrays Danielle, the Cinderella, who is kind, brave (brave), avant-garde, and self-reliant.
Angelica Houston is definitely a good actress who is underrated. The first (and probably the last) stepmother with flesh and blood. It is not difficult to hate people's teeth, but it is difficult to occasionally reveal true feelings. Danielle endured all the hardships and just wanted a mother, but her stepmother never took her as family.
The stepmother's two daughters are also different from the previous image. The sister (left) is beautiful and selfish, and the sister (right) is greedy and cute, and the images of both of them are erected and no longer only appear as labels.
Danielle pretends to be a noblewoman to rescue the old servant, accidentally meets the prince, and the two talk about the philosophy of life from poetry and song. Dogre Scott, who plays the prince, is a bit like Antonio Banderas, silly and indistinguishable.
Road encounter robbers, beauty saves heroes, wit to escape.
The prince is very fond of Danielle, but Danielle does not know how to tell the other party her true identity.
Danielle appeared at the ball with wings on her back. There is no godmother, but there is Leonardo da Vinci. The almighty Leonardo da Vinci floats on the water, installs wings, unlocks and opens doors.
The stepmother exposes Danielle in public (pulls all her wings), the prince cannot accept being deceived, and Danielle leaves sadly.
Leonardo da Vinci left his shoes and told the prince the big truth:
Then you don't deserve her. You don't deserve her.
(Tip: The shoes of the Renaissance nobility were high-soled shoes like the bottoms of Qing dynasty flower pots, which Leonardo da Vinci transformed into shoes that were easy to wear: flat soles + high heels.) By the 14th century, it evolved into the mule shoe that swept France. ）
The stepmother sold Danielle to a creditor, and Danielle did not sit and wait for the prince, but succeeded in saving herself.
This version of Cinderella is not a virgin, and the stepmother and the bad-hearted sister got the punishment they deserved. Because being nice to bad people hurts good people.
03 The Glass Slipper and the Rose
The Slipper and the Rose (1976)
Starring: Gemma Craven / Richard Chaberland
Country of production: United Kingdom; Language: English
Introduction: Song and dance film, Rococo style "Cinderella". The plot is complete, and the story of Cinderella and the prince is parallel. This version of Cinderella also relies on the godmother all the way, but after all, it is old and can be forgiven. BTW, richard Chaborann's most representative role as prince is the male protagonist Father Ralph in the 83rd version of "The Thorny Bird".
The girl who plays Cinderella looks sweet, like sweet sister Alicia Silverstone.
The stepmother and the two sisters are not distinctive in personality, but they are not deliberately ugly.
Pink ribbon bows, pink lace cloaks, and pink wigs transform into Rococo court styles.
Disney can learn to learn, silver powder, lighting to use, not to spend more money on the effect.
There is a saying that the special effects of that year were more abusive, and rats and frogs used real-life cosplay.
Cinderella came to the prince and danced with him. The clock struck zero, and Cinderella dropped a shoe in a hurry.
The prince finds Cinderella with his slippers.
This version of Cinderella adds a realistic element. Cinderella was only a commoner, and the kingdom needed to marry a great power to strengthen it. The king persuaded Cinderella to quit.
Finally, the godmother intervenes, and Cinderella grabs the marriage in front of the altar. The foreign princess also found a lover, the marriage was not destroyed, and the prince married Cinderella, and everyone was happy.
