Topic: Cinderella 1950 movie


  
  Cinderella - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cinderella is a popular fairy tale; embodying a classic folk tale myth-element of unjust oppression/triumphant reward, which received literally hundreds of tellings before modern times.
Forced into a life of domestic servitude, whence the nickname, as she was forced to tend the fireplace, Cinderella accepts the help of her attendant spirit ("fairy godmother") who transforms her to attend a royal ball and attract the attention of the handsome prince.
Her traditional line "Cinderella, you shall go to the ball!" has passed into common usage from gay culture where the meme of the "glamorous transformation" is a source of fascination and humor.

Cinderella lives with her step-mom and two evil step-sisters.
In her haste, she leaves behind her glass slipper, with which the Grand Duke carries from house to house, trying to find the beautiful who wore it at the dance -- the prince wants to find her, you see, and to make that girl his bride, and by extension, the princess.
Cinderella gets out just in time to catch the Duke leaving the house, but the step-mom trips the footman, and the slipper is broken -- but she has the other slipper in her possession, so she's obviously the girl (and shock, it fits).

 Cinderella Movie Review at Hollywood Video
While they wear fine clothes and jewelry, Cinderella must don "rags" (this writer always thought her rag dress was gorgeous, but, then, Cinderella can rock any frock).
Also on disc one is the 30-minute "Cinderella Stories," a somewhat odd ESPN presentation hosted by Joe Namath (!), which parallels the Cinderella story with famous sporting achievements, like the 1980 Olympic ice hockey team and the career highs of soccer star Pelé.
We presume "underdog" and "Cinderella" mean the same thing, but it's an intriguing addition, possibly offering something for all those daughters' dads purchasing the disc.

And there have been a number of animated movies in the past where the lead characters have suffered various traumas (like losing their parents), and spend most of the movie struggling out of an unenviable position.
When the movie is not focused on the slight and inane love subplot (which is another of those where the characters are just in love with the other's looks), it's primarily focused on either dumb animal shenanigans or people tripping and bumbling around and making themselves look even more idiotic than they already are.
The first indication of this is with the opening five minutes of the movie consisting of footage consisting of the sinking of the Titanic and the passengers trying to stay alive - and we see this same footage near the end of the movie.
