There is no pumpkin carriage, no fairies, no magic, and no midnight. Some are blessings from everyone, and some are beautiful expectations. However, on the other side of the ball, the prince had already made a decision. He was blinded and even a little bit self-defeating. He didn't have the courage to pursue his true love, he chose to compromise. Danielle's appearance made Prince Henry relieved. He thought it was possible, so he made a lightly promise: "No matter what you say, I will promise." His words were so worthless. The voice hasn't faded yet, just because Danielle's status has changed from a noble to a servant has made him shrink. He was fragile like a child, walking away with anger, and did not listen to the words of his loved ones, did not give his loved ones a chance to tell the truth, he didn't even have the idea of safeguarding or protecting him. Danielle’s plea came in exchange for his cold response: "Please don’t call me that way, I am the Prince of France!"
Prince Henry’s anger is that he thinks Danielle has cheated on him, love without trust, what neither! Besides, servants are not suitable for heirs to the throne. His behavior betrayed his true love and also betrayed Danielle. Cinderella didn't lose her crystal shoes in a hurry because the magic would disappear at twelve o'clock, but the crystal shoes she lost because the person she loved betrayed her, her beautiful true love was shattered, and her heart was broken.
In the heavy rain, the love of fish and bird was broken. Birds should live with birds in the sky, fish should live with fish in the water. Prince Henry will marry the princess, and Danielle will be sold by the vicious stepmother.
The development of the story here seems to have a bleak future, just like "Crystal Shoes and Roses", true love always appears in the movie, and turns around. Our Danielle is not the Cinderella in Grimm's fairy tales. People who need to be saved should It's a prince.
"Cinderella Long, Long Time ago" (ever after) is also called "Love and Childhood". It brings the audience a brand-new version of Cinderella. The prince is not as perfect as a fairy tale, and Cinderella is not a single beauty and weakness. Losing his father at an early age and growing up under the pressure of a cruel and mean stepmother, Danielle can still maintain an optimistic and positive attitude to face life, which itself has a qualitative difference. She is willing to help others and can find fun in a hard life; she is hopeful and can still maintain her true feelings in a harsh environment; she is clever and intelligent, and can always find a solution in a difficult situation. The most precious truth, kindness and beauty can be found in her, which makes people smile, and can't help falling in love with her.
She is optimistic, positive, free and happy, innocent and smart, playful and cute, which attracts the prince more than her looks. This is also the weakness of abandoning Cinderella's fairy tales. It is not a single beauty that attracts the prince. Although Prince Henry looks much older than Danielle, children living in the royal family are inevitably childish. When he faced Danielle, who had grown up independently, she brought him a whole new vision and thoughts. Many times, she gave him guidance and relief, and she brought him unprecedented kindness and happiness. Just like Leonardo in the film said they are very suitable, and we can see the complementarity of the two in them.
I like watching them arguing and watching them together.
"You keep irritating me with your arrogance!"
"Why do you always irritate me?"
"You always give me a chance?"
This is their fate. Everything in the world is a coincidence, and many things have already been arranged. Meet by chance, are destined to stay together for life. From the beginning, Danielle used wild fruit as a baseball to throw a horse thief (the prince) to save the servant and the prince started a debate; from swimming in the lake to flying a kite, meeting again and again; from listening to the recitation to purify the soul, to climbing the cliff, Defeat the Gypsies. In their communication with each other, they set up the flame of love.
"What can't you do?"
"Fly."
Looking at Danielle's shy smile, cheerful smile, and happy smile, it seemed that she was already flying because of love.
After all, Danielle is a fish, and Prince Henry is a stupid bird. Meeting in the ruins, he continued to be intoxicated in love, it was Danielle who made him feel free that he had never had before! And he completely ignored her sadness. When it touched her whipped wound, he actually ignored it. Fortunately, he was a little stupid, but he was kind. He is a little stupid, but he knows how to think. After he committed the miss, he knows how to make it back in time, without the help of the fairy, he will firmly grasp his happiness.
The noble bird will land because of love. Because this bird fell in love with a fish, a fish with a difference.
This is exactly what Andy Tenant, who is also a director and screenwriter, wants to express. He does not think that Cinderella is just a cartoon or a mythical story, but a true story that is completely unpredictable, full of adventure and courage. The Cinderella in Grimm's fairy tale is adapted from such a true story.
In addition, the film handles everything from the lines to the details and the soundtrack very well. Regarding the death of Danielle's father, when the director choreographed the actor, his arm was paralyzed, which is probably a myocardial infarction. Danielle's father's deep love for his daughter before his final death also hinted at the reason why the stepmother treated Danielle harshly. Danielle regards the original servant as his family, and when he helps others, others will also help her. The books left by his father and the clothes and shoes left by his mother are Danielle’s spiritual sustenance. When everything is deprived, the rest is resistance.
The music as a whole is full of idyllic natural temperament and the sweetness of fairy tales, weaving a pure world! The soundtrack that moved me was that when the old lady saw her husband return, the joy was touching and the soundtrack was beautiful; when Danielle was sold, it was very miserable! The soundtrack is great! The camera turned to Leonardo's painting of a portrait, and he understood the artistic conception of the portrait at once.
Finally, I sent a few lines of the film:
"Forgive me, your high, I didn't see you."
"You created thieves first, and then punish them."
"Constrained by their status, they showed that maybe Not their true side."
"You can't leave everything to fate, fate can play a big role, but you have to help him!"
"The foundation of a country is its land, and this foundation should be respected."
"Who would love the stumbling block under his feet?"
"A bird may love a fish, but where will they live?
" Life without love is not life at all. Love without trust, what is it?"
"I know that life without love is not life at all!"
