Ever After was one of my favorite movies when I was young and has continued to be on my favorites list even today. Part of the reason why I love this particular film so much is because all the girls in my family would enjoy watching it together. At the time, I was the smallest so I loved getting to be included with the 'big girls'. The movie is filled with adventure, sword fighting, masquerades, royalty, true love, family, and the fairy tale ending. It tells the 'real story' of Cinderella. I don't want to spoil the story for anyone however it doesn't stray too far from the Disney version; just in details.
Instead of both stepsisters being pure evil, only one is a selfish brat. She and the step mother have a plot to win the prince's hand in marriage and one day become queen so she can have all the money in the world. The other step sister, however, is sweet and loves Danielle as a sister. The nice step sister eventually helps with unraveling the plan of the step mother and sister.
This is one of my favorite scenes because Danielle is sold to wealthy, creepy man and ends up winning her freedom through wits and sword play.
This is the Prince and Danielle about to share true loves kiss. I love this scene!
Oh my gosh! I have loved this movie forever! I am so glad someone else knows about this movie. You should really read the book.It is great.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this movie. It sounds pretty good though and seems like I would have really enjoyed watching it when I was a child.
