On August 4, Sony's version of "Cinderella" officially released posters and movie trailers. Different from the "Cinderella" theme of the previous fantasy elegant theme, Sony's version can be said to have made considerable changes.
The main characters in the poster, such as Cinderella, Prince, Godfather, and Stepmother, all face the camera with disdain. In the double poster of the prince and Cinderella, Cinderella is proud to carry the crystal shoes in one hand, and leans obliquely on the prince, looking like the queen is full. The prince wears a short leather coat and silver earrings with pierced ears, unlike the prince but like a little bastard.
If you don't say it's Cinderella, it looks more like a poster of some "Agent Couple".
It is understood that "Cinderella" starring Camilla Cabeo is a modern version of a new princess film full of female self-awakening consciousness, focusing on expressing women's autonomy and self-awareness, while also including gender equality. So we can see Cinderella who focuses on designing her own costumes and smiles confidently and generously at the camera.
However, although the theme of the film is very good, for this well-known fairy tale, Sony's adaptation is too big, and the two hottest points discussed by netizens are the immortal godmother mutant black "godfather". This "godfather" in a yellow dress and beard was a real surprise.
And the prince in "the prince and the princess live happily together" was also crossed by netizens' spit on the appearance. The hair stuck to the face, the side face without edges and corners, the thin and thin figure, and the memory and fantasy prince are a little different.
After reading the trailer, netizens said that Cinderella's expression was more like Cinderella's sister, without any aura and warm and kind feelings, and some directly said that Cinderella was like a servant and could not stand up. And the prince is not handsome enough. For the godfather of the gods, he even said: "The next time it is estimated that it will be a black man acting!" ”
It is good to dare to give new life to traditional stories, but is it appropriate to forcibly change the gender of the characters and drastically adapt the personalities of the protagonists in order to elevate the intention? I think the audience will give their own answers when "Cinderella" is released on September 3.
