2015 Disney live-action Cinderella film — Page 5

That's a great quote!

The stepmother gets away with breaking the glass slipper because no one saw she tripped the footman, or at least no one could tell she did it ON PURPOSE.

I wonder if the prince has a codpiece or if that's really just his natural bulge.

The most terrifying moment for me was when they showed Lady Tremaine for the first time, in that huge bed with the evil cat.

And people think that THE EXORCIST was scary....

@beautywickedlover, That is really strange. To Linda Woolverton's credit she didn't change the genders of the original SLEEPING BEAUTY characters for MALEFICENT but why did the writers change the gender of Jaq? I hope there is a reason for it.

Maybe there's a subplot where the female Jaq, once she's turned human, has an affair with the horse, after he's turned human, and the have weird horse/mice hybrid creatures that have to move into the Castle. In the sequel, they end up imprisoning everyone, Planet of the Apes style.

Brand new featurette

Maybe, you do an easy action thriller with a **** script for money. You don't invest a lot of your time on a huge theatrical project like Cinderella for a few bucks.

I guess just to make one of the main mice female?

What about Suzy and Perla?

Borstalboy, what do you mean about the infantalizing of modern movie culture (you spelled infantalizing wrong by the way)? Like anything animated is automatically only for children? Like Cinderella is not about grown-up things like slavery, death of parents, love, marriage, and rising in social class and importance? Like it's not a not a special story adults can enjoy even thought it originally was told for adults and there have been plenty versions made that people, both adults and children see? Including "Into the Woods"? And what about how the word "boy' is in your name. You want to be a boy forever but that's not infantalizing yourself? Not to mention your avatar from a movie based on a children's book. So just what did you mean by infantalizing modern movie culture?

"So some of you ask what's new? Why see the same old again?Well, why get excited for the Into the Woods movie when you already have the home video of the original show? Why see a new production of Hamlet again? Why see new productions or re-tellings of anything?"

Into the woods had never been given the film treatment. Not the case with Cinderella. There have been so many versions of Cinderella on screen, onstage, tv broadcast, cartoon, I myself am just tired of Cinderella. I would feel more inclined to watch this film if it looked like it brought something new to the story we have heard and seen a million times, but it doesn't look like that will be the case.

The trailer pretty much showed the whole film. There's no mystery to it, there's nothing telling me I should see this film. It just looks like a typical Disney movie where "Anything is possible if you believe" "Magic is beautiful" and all that sugar coated crap.

There's no bite to it. With a story like Cinderella, you need something different or the audience will just feel like they are on auto pilot while watching the film. But ya know, if that's what you like then by all means go for it, If you are excited about this film then that's great. I just can't get into it.

I just read the novelization of it, and I can assure you there are things in this movie that are very different from other Cinderella stories. The trailer was basically a summary of the general Cinderella story, but the movie itself will explain so much that the animated film and other Cinderella stories left off.

Musical Master, yes! There are a few scenes where it is hinted why Lady Tremaine was the way she was AND there is a scene where Lady Tremaine tells her own backstory. It's actually kind of sad. If you've seen Ever After, then Lady Tremaine's story is similar to that of Baroness Rodmilla de Ghent's, only less subtle.
