The first time I saw Cinderella was ten years ago, at the age of seven or eight. At that time, I didn't know what Cinderella was. I could only use Baofengyingyin's 480p standard definition and CCTV's Mandarin dubbing without subtitles to experience this beautiful love story with children's limited literacy and innocence. . After ten years, I appreciate it again, and I found a lot of extraordinarily precious things other than love.
The kindness that all living beings have
The child's view of good and evil is clear and arbitrary. In the eyes of me as a child, my stepmother and Cinderella's two sisters were always the embodiment of ugliness and evil, and they were never worthy of sympathy. But as the story unfolded little by little, I discovered that what the director was trying so hard to convey to us turned out to be much more than the difference between good and evil.
"Everyone deserves true love"
Everyone has the right to love, and everyone can find their own true love. This is what the last king said to Cinderella's sister, and when she said I don't at the end, it really surprised me. It turns out that the so-called bad guys in fairy tales will also have the best side. What she is looking for is true love that belongs to her, not to use someone else's name to obtain love that does not belong to her. Maybe it's because she hasn't forgotten about the generosity of Xian Durella to her in the second part, or because she still has a human conscience in her heart, she did it, and she kept the kindness in her heart. And in the end, when her own mother wanted to wave the magic wand and turn her own daughter into a toad, Cinderella appeared again. This was a real kindness from the bottom of her heart, regardless of personal grievances and safety.
This also just shows that Cinderella has never been the "temporarily distressed young lady" described by some adults who have overinterpreted this movie, nor is it a "blindly kind, delicate and fragile Forrest Gump", but a real The incarnation of goodness and beauty. Remember the story of Cinderella helping her sister meet the baker in the second part, and Cinderella's forgiveness and sincere smile to the sister who pretended to be her identity at the end of the third part, we should be able to see Cinderella from this Ra is not a lucky king who can have love at will, but her truth, kindness and beauty, which helped her win true love. This kind of love can be danced by mountains and seas, and even a spell cannot be shaken, just like the prince's last sword that resists the spell. Enduring.
The growth harvested on the road of finding love and pursuing dreams
This is beyond the sweet and powerless logic of fairy tales, and we can see her growth from Cinderella's journey of chasing her dreams and finding love.
Some people will think that Cinderella will always be a kind-hearted "good princess" who can only be hurt, but I don't think so. In the third part, after Cinderella learned that the prince had forgotten her because of the spell in the wonderful performance of the two little mice, she immediately decided to get the wand back and ended up in the broken pumpkin galloping into the abyss. On the carriage, she fought hard, threw the cat that turned into a groom into the river, and said "Bad kitty" angrily. I think this is the growth she has gained along the way. She's learned to say no to things she doesn't like, which I hate. After reining in her horse, Cinderella faced the crisis that the wedding was completed after she went back. Instead of flinching and sentimental, she said "Go to my wedding" with ease and determination, which was just like how she learned to say "My way" before. People are inspired, yes, she is a strong and optimistic, beautiful and kind princess, she has her own dreams and pursuits, nothing can change, this is the real growth she has gained along the way. The growth of a princess.
A richer feeling after going around
When I was young, I liked happy endings. I thought that living happily ever after with the prince and the princess was the best ending. Sometimes I just wanted to jump to the ending right away. But Cinderella was the first movie I had no idea about after watching it. I didn't expect that ten years later, Disney would give me an answer. This movie made me sigh and mourn at the loss of everything for Cinderella at the beginning to rejoice at the meeting between Cinderella and the prince after going around. I know that Cinderella may have a bit of a hard time along the way. , but must have harvested a lot of precious things.
In ancient China, there was a steadfast love that could be moved by the mountains and the sea, and there was also a love that could not be changed even if the sun and the moon were reversed and time flowed back thousands of miles away. Even if we meet and cannot recognize each other, even if we are close at hand, we cannot be together, even if a mantra can really make a person forget their true love, but love is not afraid of these. It's a very beautiful feeling when you don't talk, it's the warmth and sweetness that can make people's eyes moist (I do). The peaceful and beautiful life of the prince and the princess is gone, but this late encounter will make the two of them cherish their love even more, which is hard-won.
There is an Easter egg at the end of the film. The stepmother and Cinderella's other sister changed from a toad to a maid with a broom in hand. From then on, they turned the table and started Cinderella's old business. I have to say that the director's last scene is very cleverly set up. Kind people will always be favored, while fierce people will be punished in the end. At the end of the movie, there are many pictures framed in frames. Cinderella's sister and the baker have gained love, and the two little mice are enjoying themselves. This is what a fairy tale should look like.
Forever Cinderella, forever Disney.
I hope Disney can stay with me for another decade.
