Talk:Cinderella (2015 film)/@comment-4991841-20150316060457

This is a classic version of a "Cinderella" story and wonderfuly faithful to the original 1950 animated classic. The production design is incredible, and I'd say it is one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen, the sheer opulance and grandure of every detail is fully realized and I was left in aww just trying to soak in every moment of this movie, I heard a reviewer reffer to this as "fairy tale porn" and they are right, I thought it was a stunning film to look at. In terms of plot, if you know the classic telling of this tale, you know what you're in for. There are a few additions into the story which convey motivations for other characters characters that were lacking in the 50's animation, which really sells the characters, for me. Chief among them was for Lady Tremaine, so often do I see Cinderella stories focus on the cruelty between Ella and the sisters and down play the dynamic between her and her stepmother. In this film, it is the exact opposite,  Cate Blanchett sells Lady Tremaine and gives her this cruel elagance and this new depth that I found to be very compelling. If you love the original Cinderella, you'll love this.
