Cinderella has had a lot of changes over the years, from the evil stepmother and the midnight curfew to hundreds of other variations and adaptations in books, television, and cinema. The story of Cinderella has been told from the perspective of each generation.
Recent iterations have emphasized more variety (the Brandy/Whitney Houston version), more autonomy (“Ever After”) or at the very least a better justification for her obedience (the Brandy/Whitney Houston version) (“Ella Enchanted”).
However, in this version, Cinderella, played by singer Camila Cabello has big intentions of becoming a fashion designer and supporting herself, so she doesn’t have to reside in her stepmother’s basement anymore. It also tries to explain the stepmother’s brutality (Idina Menzel) and tone down the meanness of her 2 evil step-sisters.
Should You Watch Cinderella or Not?
Well, if you’re looking for a different version of Cinderella, then you should go for this one. It’s a lighthearted tale about a girl who meets a boy and gets to travel the world with him while working in her ideal profession. Isn’t it true that the universe won’t mind if we sprinkle a little fairy dust on ourselves?
Cinderella is now available to watch on Amazon Prime Video as it has already been released on 3rd September 2021. The tunes, which include pop and rock hits as well as unique compositions, are upbeat. The cast is in sync and having a good time.
Following Mamma Mia, Pierce Brosnan reprises his role as stuffy King Rowan, much to the delight of his Queen. Princess Gwen is better equipped to manage the country than Prince Robert. The gender of the fairy godmother has been switched, and Billy Porter makes a terrific Fab G. The evil Stepmother Vivian has her own story and original song, whereas Malvolia and Narissa’s stepsisters don’t try too hard to be evil. Cinderella’s Ball is the story’s focal point, and Cannon does not fail in her depiction.
Cinderella attends the Ball in a gown she designed, and as a result, she is hired by a powerful queen. Even though Fab G ensures it is comfy, the slipper, which is the other half of the fairy tale, makes an appearance in this version.
How Camila Feels Being the Cinderella?
It’s an entirely different take on the story. The former Fifth Harmony member Camila Cabello recently told Vogue about her anticipated new role, mentioning that she felt like other fairytales have more antiquated ideals and don’t reflect women honestly.
She added that this interpretation of Cinderella has ideas and ambitions, and she wishes to protect herself instead of getting rescued by a prince or anybody else. Cabello said in a Q&A just before the film’s premiere that the initial reaction was getting surprised when the idea of being Cinderella was brought to her.
She went on to say that this was the coolest opportunity that she ever had. Moreover, because she loved musicals and princesses, she adored that this movie was a lighter, more comic, and powerful take on the original story.
