I don't know which fairy tale impressed you the most in your gray-blue childhood? Perhaps, when we were just looking forward to love, the story of Cinderella must have touched you! With the carriage that the old woman turned into a pumpkin, and an exquisite crystal slipper, the beautiful and kind Cinderella finally married the prince and lived a happy life ever since.
Yes, maybe everyone has a dream of Cinderella, but it seems to be a distant dream, so the directors re-interpreted the modern version of Cinderella with movies, and they never tire of it.
So, this spring, Cinderella in Manhattan helped us realize the dream of a crow turning into a phoenix again.
I don't want to repeat the plot, I just want to write a little bit of my thoughts after watching it, to help everyone make a choice among more and more movies. If you happen to be like me, someone who can sit down quietly and don’t care much about rhythm and plot, take a look at this seemingly absurd but really romantic story that happened in the United States.
I like the way American movies have always been shot. The camera shot from the sky above New York, the buildings mixed with old and new, and the buildings are scattered, slowly moving closer to a door, where the usual hotel maids live. Then there is a warm family, a lovely mother and son.
This kind of story really has no structure, so we follow the heroine in the picture to experience those small pieces of life, and then, a kind and strong, not beautiful she gradually enriched, let us like it took her. Well, with her dramatic encounter with the male lead, and then quickly gaining the male lead's favor, it all falls into place.
A maid and a senator, two worlds, what would their love look like? At this time, think about the story of Cinderella! Pumpkins turned into beautiful carriages, mice turned into white horses, Cinderella wore a glamorous dress, stepped on crystal slippers, and appeared under the sparkle of diamonds...
Good dreams always end suddenly at the most wonderful moment, fortunately the director Not yet so mean, he let two people in love spend a night together before starting to wake us up. But everything changed so suddenly...
After everything was over, Cinderella sat in the subway heartbroken, and the camera seemed to be confused. At this time, Norah Jones' Don't know why sounded sadly. With a heartbroken image, she ran to a dilapidated swing swinging alone, the sun in the distance fainted...
I waited 'til I saw the sun
I don't know why I didn't come
I left you by the house of fun
I don't know why I didn't come
When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching teardrops in my hand
My heart is drenched in wine
But you'll be on my mind
Forever
So, after a period of flowing water, they finally met again. We see the ecstatic kiss, and Cinderella finally gets her prince.
If the film ends like this, it seems a bit unsatisfactory, so we saw a few ending explanations. In the laughter and feelings, our feelings were deceived again, hehe.
Typical American script, nothing new, but those evocative dialogues, those well-crafted scenes, will always be the charm of American movies, so no matter how simple the plot is, I'm still willing to spend more than an hour. Time to watch the whole movie with great interest, and definitely do not use the fast-forward function.
Okay, so far from my impressions, writing a movie review is a very tiring thing, that is, to express one's own thoughts, but not to reveal too much. Some of the clips that can be played are left to everyone to discover for themselves.
