A new interpretation of “Cinderella” depicted in the live-action movie “Cinderella”

imaginative gills

Ella was a child with a rich imagination and spent her time caring for animals.She was treated like a princess by her parents, and was a naive girl who believed in the existence of the Fairy Godmother. Her father, a merchant, was often overseas and away from home. She still loves Ella, and she brings him souvenirs every time she goes home.

It was a picture-perfect family, but that happiness suddenly came to an end. Ella’s mother has fallen ill with an incurable disease.and“Don’t forget courage and kindness”Her mother passed away, leaving behind this life lesson. Ella grew up remembering her mother’s words and she grew up to be an imaginative woman, but Ella’s father wanted a change in her life and remarried her. The person in question was the wife of Lord Traymane, the deceased chairman of the Silk Weavers’ Union. Ella believes in her father’s happiness and accepts her father’s judgment.

Then Ella went homestepmother and two stepsistersHowever, her sister-in-law had an arrogant personality. At best, her stepmother was a cheerful woman, but at worst, she had a flamboyant personality. She held parties almost every night, where she spent her days gambling and playing poker.

Ella’s stepmother feels that Ella’s father sees in her a shadow of his late ex-wife and is jealous. She could also consider that she felt excluded, unable to enter into the deep bond between her father and her daughter. It makes me think of that,Her stepmother made sure that Ella did not call her mother, but instead called her Madam.

Ella’s stepmother’s neglect began. Ella is banished to her attic and spends her days alone without her father. But Ella wasn’t lonely. Ella spoke to animals such as livestock and rats, and worked together with her servants to do household chores. She received letters from Ella’s father almost every day, which Ella used as emotional support. However, one afternoon,Ella receives news of her father’s sudden death.

Ella’s stepmothers were screaming that she was doomed, but Ella’s father left behind a deep love for Ella, as he had promised Ella that he would send the first branch that touched her to his end. When her father, a merchant, dies, she is no longer able to continue her luxurious life. Her stepmother gives free time to her servant,Instead, Ella spent her days busy doing housework.Her stepmother says that the best way to forget her loneliness is to do housework, and the amount of housework that Ella takes on increases day by day. Ella talked to the mouse to relieve her loneliness.

There was a severe draft in the attic, and to ward off the cold, Ella often slept in the warmth of the fireplace’s embers. Since then, Ella has been covered in ash and soot on her face.“Cinderella” originally means “ash-covered.”Therefore, it can be considered that the production emphasized the situation of the gills covered in ash and soot. In the live-action film Cinderella, the name “Cinderella” is given to her mean sister-in-law.

Encounter with Apprentice Kit

In addition, as an original development of the live-action movie “Cinderella”,After being named “Cinderella”, Ella becomes fed up with her current situation and flees into the forest on horseback.A scene has been added. There, she meets Prince Kit, who was hunting. In Charles Perrault’s fairy tale “Cinderella,” Ella meets the prince at a ball in a castle, where they fall in love, but the live-action movie “Cinderella” explores the encounter between the prince and Ella in more depth.

Ella saves a deer from being hunted. And when Shika and Ella met eye to eye, she says she felt Shika still had a role to play in this world. Ella thinks about her situation as Cinderella,I felt sympathy for the deer that had been the prey of blood sports.This can be considered.

Blood sports was one of the greatest pastimes for royalty during the era in which Cinderella was set, and could be considered an essential skill. However, American comedian Paul Rodriguez has this to say about Blood Sport:“Hunting is not a sport. Neither party knows they’re participating.”and.

Prince Kit, who enjoys blood sports, deepens his relationship with Ella as Kit, who works at the palace without calling himself a prince. Influenced by Ella, who loves animals as friends, he leaves without killing the deer. Ella also refuses to give her name to Prince Kit. The power of her name is strong.Ella is ifI immediately thought that if I called myself Cinderella, I would just be doing the housework.This can be considered.

Kindness and courage, a little magic

To entertain the people, Prince Kit invites them to a ball to choose a queen.This is an unusual announcement. Hearing this proclamation, she rejoices that her wicked stepmother and step-sister may become the prince’s wife, but Ella rejoices that she may be reunited with her apprentice Kit.With this depictionElla doesn’t judge people by their status or title, but by their character.It can be considered that this is emphasized.

Ella uses the sewing tools that her stepmother gave her when she exiled her to the attic to repair the dress that Ella’s mother left behind. Ella tries to wear the keepsake dress to her ball, but her dress is torn to shreds by her mean stepmothers.She was determined by this that she could not go to the ball.Ella’s heart finally breaks.

At that time, Ella meets an old woman near the mansion. She was Ella who served a cup of milk to a starving old woman, but she was the Fairy Godmother.Ella is confused when she learns that the Fairy Godmother, who she thought was just a fantasy to please her children, is a real person.

Fairy Godmother turns pumpkins into carriages, mice into horses, lizards into servants, and geese into drivers. Then, she fixed the torn pink dress as a memento and changed it into a light blue dress. After preparing glass slippers to match her dress, Fairy Godmother sent Ella off to the palace ball. However, in the end, Fairy GodmotherAll the magic disappears with the sound of the bell that signals 12 midnight.I advised him that.

At the palace ball, Prince Kit is looking for Ella. The king can see right through this, and he is still skeptical about marrying someone he has only met once. In response, Prince Kit replies that there is nothing wrong with marrying a princess he meets for the first time, but the king explains that the peace of the nation will be maintained by marrying her.The peace of the many and the happiness of the individual.Balancing the two is an important element of the live-action movie “Cinderella”It can be considered that

When Prince Kit sees Ella arriving late, he asks her for the first dance. Everyone is fascinated by the dance.Interestingly, Richard Madden, who played the eldest son Prince Kit, rules Winterfell in Game of Thrones (2011-2019).He plays Robb Stark, a member of the Stark family who loses his life because he chooses to marry the woman he loves rather than a nobleman who would be more advantageous in the war.is playing.

Ella and Prince Kit’s happy time doesn’t last long. As the bell strikes 12 o’clock, Ella rushes home from the ball. There, Ella bumps into the king and tells him that Prince Kit is a fine man who respects his father from the bottom of his heart. When running down the stairs,One of Ella’s glass slippers falls off.This leads to the famous Cinderella scene.

Prince Kit tries to chase after Ella, but the Grand Duke stops him, saying that it might be a trap to lure Prince Kit outside. Ella and her friends succeed in pursuing the Grand Duke, butAll the magic will be broken.Ella, who had gotten stuck in the mud, heads home with a smile on her face despite being soaked in the rain. Ella hides the glass slipper along with her father’s belongings and writes a detailed account of the events of the ball in her diary to tell her parents.

Although the king’s condition worsened, he was still worried about the future of the kingdom. The king asks Prince Kit what he would do if he orders him to marry Princess Sherina, but Prince Kit says no.Rather than relying on other countries, the country can be protected if each citizen has kindness and courage.Prince Kit says that Ella’s teaching is correct. After hearing this and confirming that Prince Kit had become a full-fledged man, the king felt relieved and fell into an eternal sleep.

In the end, the king leaves behind a will stating that he should marry the person he loves, not just as a king, but as a father, rather than just for personal reasons. Prince Kit heard of this, and when his mourning ended he became desperate to find his beloved Ella. Ella also wants to go see the new King Kit, but her wicked stepmother is ahead of her, and she orders Ella to make her chief minister if she wants to go see the new King Kit. It was.And when Ella refusesI smashed the glass slipper.

Ella’s wicked stepmother locks her in the attic. The reason her stepmother had been so abusive to Ella was because she thought Ella had a pure and innocent personality.a kind of self-loathingIt came from. Her wicked stepmother makes a deal with the Grand Duke in exchange for a piece of the glass slipper as a souvenir. The wicked stepmother demands that she be given the title of countess, and that her daughter be given the freedom to marry.

The Grand Duke is convinced that Ella will no longer come to see the new King Kit, and presses the new King Kit to marry Princess Sherina for the sake of the peace of the country.neverthelessThe Grand Duke promises the new King Kit, who is about to meet Ella, that if he is unable to reunite with Ella, he will marry Princess Sherina.exchange.

The Grand Duke tries to find the owner of the glass slipper, but it is all just a performance to show that the new King Kit has no gills. This is because the Grand Duke knows the location of Ella.I also knew that Ella was being held captive in the attic.Body.

Cinderella and the new King Kit

Just as the Grand Duke was about to return from the mansion with Ella still without shoes, the mice opened the window so that Ella’s singing voice, immersed in memories, could be heard outside. As a result, the Colonel, a loyal retainer of the new King Kit, learns that there is another daughter in the mansion. The Grand Duke ignores this and tries to turn back, but the new King Kit sneaks into the group searching for the owner of the glass slipper. and,He ordered Ella to wear the glass slipper.

Also, Cinderella forgives her stepmother in the end, but the reason why her broken stepmother left the country forever along with the Grand Duke and others is…Just like the reason he abused Cinderella, it comes from self-hatred.That can be considered.

The live-action film “Cinderella” teaches that the world can be a better place if everyone has imagination, kindness, and courage. Is Disney able to portray that now? The latest work “Wish” (2023) will be distributed on Disney+ from Friday, April 26, 2024. I would like to take a look at that and make a decision again.
