Cinderella Trailer
Yes, the trailer for next year's reboot of Cinderella has finally come out, and I must say, it surprised me! For starters, unlike Maleficent, the story pretty much looks exactly the same as the original but with no talking animals, Cinderella's mother appears in flashbacks, the romance between Cinderella & the Prince is expanded (a bit like Ever After except Kit lies that he's a palace servant), there are no musical numbers (aww, I wanted to hear Helena Bonham Carter sing Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo) & the Fairy Godmother appears as a beggar before revealing herself as a fairy. Oh yeah, and they finally revealed her real name is Ella & Cinderella is a cruel nickname given to her by Anastasia & Drizella. None of these changes really bother me & I am so glad that they don't tamper much of the story & keep the message of the original movie while making it relateable to a contemporary audience. Second: the visuals! Not only do they look gorgeous with the CGI being taken full advantage of (especially when the Fairy Godmother conjures up Cinderella's ballgown & glass slippers), but it is interesting they put a 40s twist on the clothes with Lady Tremaine & the stepsisters & I love how colourful everything is compared to other fairytale films which place emphasis on having dark & broody tone. And the settings look fantastic! In fact, they almost look exactly like the original movie while putting their own twist on it, especially Cinderella's chateau, the scene where the Fairy Godmother makes the coach, horses & coachmen out of the pumpkin & animals & Prince Kit's castle! And yes, the acting is also pretty good, especially from Helena Bonham Carter as the Fairy Godmother! I know people complained about it since she always does the same quirky roles in all her films, but in this, she's just perfect for the role! However, I still have reservations thanks to some of the dialogue being a bit clunky, I'm a bit worried with what they'll do with Lady Tremaine's character despite Cate Blanchett's great acting & I'm not really convinced by Lily James' acting as Cinderella. But other than that, I can already tell this is going to be an improvement over Maleficent & it's clear that Kenneth Brannagh knew what to do with the source material & make it timeless while accessible for a modern audience. While I don't think it'll be as good as the 1950 classic, I still think it looks like a huge improvement over all the big budget live action fairytale movies out recently!
