The next best part of the film was perhaps, Ella’s stepmother. Instead of the tall and thin, short and plump step sisters she had, Ella’s stepsisters felt almost identical in the film.
I could hardly believe that this kind and witty fairy godmother was the VERY person who killed Sirius in Harry Potter. Similarly, Ella’s fairy godmother’s screen time was too short too. I know that wasn’t exactly the most important part of the film, but if only it could be longer. While the scenes were touching, I find the start of the story (Ella with her parents) a tad too rushed, especially at the part where she fell ill. And because in every girl’s heart, there will be the hope to find her Prince Kit, and the guys? To be able to find the girl who can touch his heart and make him go all out to search for her.”ĭisney’s Cinderella was flawless, almost.

Cinderella (2015) Viewer Rating: 4.5/5 **** Cinderella (2015) Movie Review:Ī particular guy friend asked me, what is the hype about? Isn’t that film “Cinderella”? Don’t everyone know the story and know what happen in the end? What’s the point of watching it then? I was stunned for a moment, and then I replied, “It’s precisely why many people wants to watch it. But, as in all good fairy tales, help is at hand, and a kindly beggar woman (Helena Bonham Carter) steps forward and – armed with a pumpkin and a few mice – changes Cinderella’s life forever. Alas, her stepmother forbids her to attend and callously rips apart her dress.
It appears her fortunes may be about to change when the Palace sends out an open invitation for all maidens to attend a ball, raising Ella’s hopes of once again encountering the charming Kit (Richard Madden). Unaware that he is really a prince, not merely an apprentice at the Palace, Ella finally feels she has met a kindred soul. Yet, despite the cruelty inflicted upon her, Ella is determined to honor her mother’s dying words and to “have courage and be kind.” She will not give in to despair nor despise those who mistreat her.Īnd then there is the dashing stranger she meets in the woods. Finally relegated to nothing more than a servant girl covered in ashes, and spitefully renamed Cinderella, Ella could easily begin to lose hope. Eager to support her loving father, Ella welcomes her new stepmother (Cate Blanchett) and her daughters Anastasia (Holliday Grainger) and Drisella (Sophie McShera) into the family home.īut, when Ella’s father unexpectedly passes away, she finds herself at the mercy of a jealous and cruel new family. The story of “Cinderella” follows the fortunes of young Ella (Lily James) whose merchant father remarries following the death of her mother.
