Reflection Of Cinderella

766 Words4 Pages

How did the movie make you feel? This fantasy film evoked a surprisingly large amount of laughter from me. I also felt as if I was living in an artificial world where many races got along. Furthermore, seeing such a diverse cast was very pleasing as the original Cinderella characters were primarily white. Additionally, seeing the way in which the towns people got along during the ball announcement, was very satisfying because you had Asian, Black and White people all dancing and interacting peacefully. Did the main character(s) learn anything from her/his actions by the end of the film? (A great lesson/theme is universal. Theme defines the philosophical, ethical, or moral point of the story.

Cinderella was constantly dreaming of being with the prince and going to the ball, however it was not until her Fairy Godmother showed up that Cinderella truly started believing that the impossible is in fact attainable. As Cinderella acquired a new dress, got her hair done, and had a carriage created, she began to see that her dreams were becoming a reality. When she arrived at the ball, she felt a lack of confidence, but when the Prince and her were reunited after the ball, they ended up getting married. Select your favorite character or a character that interests you the most. Define your chosen character in terms of whether (s)he is the protagonist (hero), antagonist (villain), love interest (romantic lead), supporting player (helper/mentor/sidekick/voice of reason/comic relief) or a catalyst. My favorite character was Minerva. She is a supporting player in the film as she is often a comic relief. It’s Minerva’s obnoxious behavior and comments that make her so funny. For instance, during the ball she was supposed to try and impress the prince with her “ladylike” behavior and instead she blurts out, “when can I dance with the prince”. This scene had me cracking up as it was the last thing I expected to see during the

    The story of Cinderella is one that has touched the hearts of nearly all who’ve heard it due to its sympathetic heroine who must suffer mistreatment at the hands of those who are supposed to care for her. It is such a popular story that nearly every culture has a version of her with different traits. The oldest recorded edition dates back to Ancient Egypt in the story of Doricha, a young Greek girl who is thrust into a life of servitude in Egypt after she is kidnapped by pirates. She sings to keeps herself happy during her enslavement which, along with some help from the falcon god Horus, ultimately delivers her from her predicament. Raisel, or the Jewish Cinderella, is similar in that after her scholarly grandfather dies, Raisel finds work in the house of a prominent rabbi and uses her wisdom and her gift of telling riddles to deliver her from under the cruel cook for whom she worked and into the arms of the rabbi’s son.

    The spectacle left me hanging my jaw, trying to comprehend what just happened. The songs and dances were particularly enjoyable and touching. The characters were relatable, and the message was an important one. My only critique would be that their choice to make Cinderella choose her destiny by leaving her shoe with the Prince, made the plot very predictable and unexciting near the end. When the Prince finds the girl whom the shoe fits it is meant to be a wonderful touching moment, however I was simply left wondering why she couldn’t have revealed her identity at her second meeting with the Prince.
