Ever after

[VIERAN]

Synopsis:

A unique 16th century woman, Danielle possesses a love of books, and can easily quote from Sir Thomas More’s Utopia. An intriguing mix of tomboyish athleticism and physical beauty, she has more than enough charm to capture the heart of a prince ... after beaning him with an apple.

This spirited "Cinderella" is certainly no victim - against all odds, she stands up against a forceful and scheming stepmother, while honoring her late and beloved father.

With her keen intelligence and independence, Danielle definitely is not waiting around for the prince to rescue her; in fact, she often comes to his aid, offering him guidance, and even saving the prince's life by carrying him on her back.

When Danielle does receive help, it comes not from a "fairy godmother," but from one of history's most renowned figures, Leonardo da Vinci. And, while she does don a gorgeous pair of glass slippers, the words "magic pumpkin" are not in her vocabulary.

Behind this movie:

It is directed by Andy Tennant from a screenplay by Susannah Grant and Andy Tennant & Rick Parks. The film is produced by Mireille Soria and Tracey Trench.

Jenny Beavan is the costume designer, and music is by George Fenton

My opinion:

There are approximately 500 versions of the Cinderella story in circulation, making it the most famous tale in the world. The earliest apparently originated in China where the preoccupation with tiny feet found a highly satisfactory outcome in the search for someone who could wear an exquisite, small glass slipper.

Among those many versions this one is very different and much more beautifull, though its already an old movie you should not miss to watch this.

I loveeee this movie! It's not the the Cinderella I remember growing up knowing though lol but this movie was great. It also has two of my favorite actresses of all time.. Dew Barrymore and Angelica Huston.. I especially love Angelica because of the movie The Witches xD. Loved that character she played and her accent.

....Hmm you giving your opinions is giving me an idea.. Maybe I should ask Lance if it's possible to incorporate a Western movie review section..

I need a box of tissues each time I watch this movie. I really loved Drew in this movie!!! I thought she looked very natural in this movie without all the makeup. I loved the ball scene. The prince was so cute. This really is a must see if your looking for romance, drama, and comedy rolled into one.
