[@lavenderfaerietale3330]

can we just appreciate that mans kindness in letting Ella have that one possession back for free though

[@SarahRamsingh]

He took the money from the step mother because he knew she was just off loading items and he probably got a good deal on it. He saw that it was actually something meaningful to the Ella. It was very kind. He was treating people the way he saw them.

[@vilwarin5635]

It was a thing made of paper. Not very valuable and easy to be broken. For him it was the cheapest thing in the cart

[@FearFanatic86]

[@Kruukk]

Extremely important scene in my opinion. Explains why she left the house forever with little attachment to it. Aside from unpleasant memories of abuse, Lady Tremaine wiped the house out of all items which held any sentimental value making it even a more hostile prison.

[@vilwarin5635]

But then, why didn´t she leave earlier? When one of the former servants asked her so, Ella said it was because of her memories and because it was her home (and at that point the stepmother had already sold everything) ... she only left because she was going to get married

[@psychohist]

@@woodrowdrake5287 It makes the transition to becoming a servant a lot clearer. I felt that the movie before the ball was weaker than the original; this would have made it stronger.

[@thevampirefrog06]

Yeah I think this scene adds a lot of dimension, it helps the story feel fuller.

[@zarinaa1135]

"Her stepmother and stepsisters, mistaking her reseliance for weakness, ever misused her." That is the most perfect way to describe the way the world views Ella's story. Just cause she smiled doesn't mean she wasn't sad. More people need to wake up and see that.

[@suak.5703]

Yassss thats why i always tell everyone cinderella is STRONG not weak like media makes her to be

[@DelvirahSabatinidheesabatini]

I recently rewatched the animated version, and by the end I was surprised why in my teenage years I ever thought her weak. Strength doesn't always equate swinging swords and kicking arse. To endure that harsh environment with a smile and a hope that never falters, that is strength.

[@ninavinterova9875]

They like to blame an abuse victim for not fighting her abusers and that's so unfair and so ignorant to any psychological damage that years of abuse cause. Another thing that makes me mad is how they use Cinderella as model of a bad feminist who just cooks and cleans and waits for a man to save her. It was the opposite! She actually saved herself, she invented a functional coping mechanism for herself, she stayed positive in a hellish environment, and when she rebelled and went to the ball, she saw how good life can be and married the prince. Cinderella is incredibly kick-ass. Saying that her traditionally feminine traits, like being caring, gentle, optimistic and resilient are bad and saying she should have done more traditionally masculine things like fight her mother or escape is actually pretty sexist.

[@somethingsomethingsomethingg]

And just staying in your circumstances making the best of them without any loud fighting doesn't make you weak either.

[@oFancys]

I exactly know that cuz I'm going through that... Just because people always smile, doesn't mean that they're NOT sad!

[@waynebrasler]

Lily James is so perfect in this film; I am happy she received the critical reception she deserved.

[@westiekid8400]

Wayne Brasler she’s not pretty enough to be Cinderella. Those black brows are terrible with blonde hair

[@pvrmdsgnr]

But at least she is a good actress. All were praising Emma Watson when she was chose to be Belle, because (in their words) she was "perfect" for the role, but she couldn't act the part, she lacked singing and acting talent. Lily James fit the high expectations and surpassed them, that's the difference between choosing someone for their appearance instead of choosing them for their ability.

[@hasmat.a7165]

At least this version doesn't make you rely on the Disney Animated version. *Cough cough* Aladdin, Beauty And The Beast, Jungle Book *Cough cough* This version can stand up on its own without the help of its animated counterpart, and it can be identified as it's own movie due to the changes that keep the plot different from the 1950 animated one while still keeping true to the original tale.

[@rainbowstar2775]

That scene made me cried coz even at the lowest point of Ellas+'s life she was still polite to say thank you to someone who made the effort to deliver her a bad news. What a class act! In fact I even said to myself that Ella is my marrying type and unfortunately women like her are rare.

[@TheInuyanma]

I just realized that Ella is strong, not just in her resilience, but also physically. Did you see the way she picked up those buckets of water? She totally could have beat down her stepmother and stepsisters if she wanted to! Guess it would have made her a little less likable. Darn. I would have liked to see her slap them at least once...

[@judithmurray8220]

Claire Mitzuki Beating them down isn't kind and that's one of the promises she made to her mother.

[@TheInuyanma]

Well, I know. That's what makes her so honourable and worthy of respect. She truly turned the other cheek even though it was painful for her, in the end, she found her happiness and love with Kit. Personally, though, if I were in her shoes, I would have taken Danielle's approach from Ever After and decked someone. I have low tolerance for bitches. XD

+Jandree Vasquez Schell this gave too much sorrow for cinderella, i guess

[@stellatocca]

"Her stepmothers and stepsisters taking her resilience for weakness ever misused her." Such a meaningful line. This is why the Cinderella remake is the only one I like. The writers actually understood Ella's character and made sure to do her justice. Resilience, dignity, compassion, gentleness, patience, sincerity, dedication, & hopeful innocence...that's the true spirit & core of Cinderella. Lily James is phenomenal. She immerses herself into this role entirely with so much warmth, awareness, pathos, and quiet radiance. What a compelling performance!

[@TheGreekPianist]

And geeze, the Stepmother couldn't buy Ella one black dress? Even if it was ragged? Seriously, if anyone who was truly mourning over the death of the father, it'd be Ella! Shows you how mean-spirited and the dark entity she was.

[@AStageForTheKingdom]

Yup. This whole part adds so much to both of their characters, their relationship, and the ending.

[@latrolettteeeeeee]

Perhaps the sisters stole everything?. But at least she could´ve dyed her clothes black, as was the custom

[@edwintovar1505]

@@latrolettteeeeeee I think the point of only show one dress is because they want to protayl her as a simple girl the opposite of the vain and shallow of her stepsisters that only think in dresses and parasols

[@AmandaJ]

Formally wearing black for long periods of mourning wasn't a widespread thing in Europe until the 19th century. People wore black or white at funerals in some cultures, but complex mourning rituals that dictated clothing were more of a Victorian phenomena.

[@JoMarieM]

I wish this scene had been left in the film. Without it, we never really see Ella grieving, and there seems to be no transition from the time that Ella learns that her father is dead, from when she is just about to go to the ball, and she seems to recover from his loss more easily than would be expected in such a situation. Here we can see that she's a lot more affected by her father's passing than is indicated in the final version of the film, and how the household changes afterwards, including the cold treatment dished out to her by the stepmother and her girls. I thought it was also very kind of trader to let Ella have the gift her father gave her for free. He probably knew Ella well, sympathized with her and knew something of what she was going through with her wicked stepmother and two crazy stepsisters!

[@HangNguyen-ww6ut]

They should have kept this scene, I was crying watching this, she could have chosen anything else to keep, but she chose to keep her father's present, she loves her father so so much. This scene was so beautiful

[@ninavinterova9875]

[@emmad.176]

I think a huge reason she stays and tries to be nice is her dad choosing the stepfamily as well. She feels she has to honour that choice, plus if she goes, who will look after the house? A lot of it is loyalty to her parents 💔

[@talennylover1239]

Is it just me? I'm glad Ella only had a black ribbon. I feel like her father would be happy to see her in a bright colour and still show respect with the ribbon.

[@broadwaybrook2319]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="184">3:04</a> I feel like that thing she uses to carry the buckets of water perfectly symbolizes the weight on her shoulders of losing her father and being a servant

[@pennypizza3919]

Thats a good way of thinking about it it also symbolizes a beast of burden i believe the expression

[@emmad.176]

Someone else commented that it shows another strength of hers.... physical strength. She could easily take the stepfamily on 🤣 it's like advanced weights in a pump class or something, but she's by nature very patient and kind and it takes a lot for her to have 'had enough.' Even then, she fights more with a simple set of words and rebelling/walking away rather than punching anyone (not that I couldn't understand if she went that route 🤣).

[@BellePerkins]

I wish they had included the line about the stepfamily being "prostrate with grief"--it's such a natural cover for their unwillingness to contribute and Ella would never have thought to doubt they were suffering, so it does a good job of masking the transition from member of the household to servant.

I am glad they cut this because it kinda humanizes Lady Tremaine as a grieving widow. But the movie version I see her more as what she should be which is essentially a gold digger. She played Ella's father and tolerated Ella and when he dies she was just another reminder to Lady Tremaine that she is back to being poor and was another mouth to feed. And she was envious that Ella was beautiful and young because she wishes she could go back and has it easier like Ella did.

God is always there and he loves us. If her situation had improved earlier, she wouldn't have met the prince and gotten the happy ending that we all love so much. She was already loving, compassionate and patient but I'm sure this ordeal only increased her resilience and her belief in herself and allowed her to grow as a person and that's also true with many of the hardships each of us face. Her patience paid off in the end and she not only got out of the terrible situation but found the one she loves as well.

[@yooringonghan]

@Queenofawesome25 jsyk in other countries' versions "Cinderella""s mother (the fairy godmother) reincarnates as a small animal that helps in "Cinderella"'s chores, whereas the step-family discovers and then eats the animal (depending whether it's the edible kind: China has a goldfish, the Philippines a crab) her spirit endures till the ball part, where she helps for the last time

[@midevilgirl]

It doesn't make sense to me. Ella is at an age where the household would have went to her. The step mother wouldn't have much claim to. Unlike if he had died when Cinderella was a child. Then of course it would go to the step mother because she would have been too young. That's why it was more impactful in the original. Cinderella was a child when she lost her innocence.

[@mariabartosz3035]

Whatever the father's will was or the Ella's rights to the house, they meant nothing as Ella had nobody to defend her just claims. I guess that's because

[@pecahalloween]

To be honest, this is the best Disney remake. Cinderella is a motivation towards anyone who suffers mistreatment and abuse. Seeing her not being included at diner, not even getting a black dress for her own father's funeral is just damn awful. And after all the mistreatment, Cinderella is just too kind and forgives the three crows. Cinderella could not throw them out, maybe she was just too kind to let them live on the street. And I think that we should not admire Cinderella for her beauty that goes with kindness, but with scenes like this, where she is shown to be emotional, not a romance-hungry damsel in distress.

Her mother and her step sister wearing fancy gown and she... Aww look at that ribbon, it shows that she has pure heart

[@Cherryb0nb0ns]

WWWHHHYYYY CUUUT THESE SCEEENNNNEEESSSS

[@angelaboone8111]

I always cry when the father dies and the music that goes with it makes me cry harder

[@bellacurran1440]

I love how this is a part when the step family started to be mean somebody still showed her kindness

[@solventech69]

Yes Ella is strong indeed

[@sonarkrishna1647]

Many people thiks Ella is a weak as she doesnot stand for herself but nothing is more stronger than kindness...she remembered her promise to her mother...she loved her stepsisters ....she cherrised the house...in so much sorrow she was strong and otimistic...I learned to lot from Ella her soul is such pure and true...

[@ismahani30]

I like the scene when lily hesitates and wants to pay the gift. I love her she so pretty and fit for historical movie. Pls make another this kind of movie for her

[@hurtamor6445]

Best in all the live actions ive seen so far, please make another masterpiece!

[@PhryneMnesarete]

This is really cruel. To us today, it just means the stepmother is being unkind. But in the 18th or 19th century, when this would have been set (bombazine was mostly worn for mourning in the 19th) wearing mourning clothes served two purposes. First, it was to honour the dead: by wearing mourning, you were showing your love, your loyalty and your care for the deceased. Second, it was to let other people know that you were bereaved, so that they would treat you gently, and you would not be expected to do stressful or upsetting things. By denying Ella the chance to put on mourning clothes, Lady Tremaine is denying Ella the chance to do her duty toward her father whom she loved, and refusing to let a young orphan have any time or space to come to terms with her grief.

[@pennypizza3919]

I still wonder why her stepmother would think to herself getting rid of Ella's beautiful paper butterfly would help her get some money for the house especially when its going to rain and it would get ruined? Its just a thought i sometimes think about i wish they wouldnt have cut these scenes i wonder if they have a Cinderella with extended scenes that include the deleted ones

[@carligreeff1798]

This shouldn’t have been deleted it shows just how much she had to do on her own and her grief. I cannot believe her mother almost gave away the butterfly present. That should have been in the movie

[@larainethorpe2847]

my dad passed away last month. so I know what Ella is feeling. I like to go to work and do chores just to take my mind off it. even if it's just for a few hours

[@ambermedellin9891]

Laraine Thorpe, it is a tough club to be in. I sound like Bindi Irwin when I say it. If my dad were alive, he would have told me that. Sadly he died on my mom's 41st birthday as my world ended. At least it had to not end.

[@yooringonghan]

coincidentally the part about the household chores was in the narration as well

[@avidhahaldar8599]

May your father RIP and God bless you and all🙏🏽

[@alessandravindel]

plsssss this whole deleted scene is better than the whole Camila's remake😭🏃🏼‍♀️

[@anuradhamohapatra4118]

It was an emotional and touching part of the movie.. I wonder why such beautiful parts of the script are removed from the final movie

[@christianalexander2040]

Lily is depth in my sights, the core of my bliss, the heart & soul thats unparallel to this existence..✨🪞💔🌬️🌊🌊🌊🚪🌌☄️

[@sherryscooter242]

Did anyone else besides me just want to hug Ella throughout the film and tell her everything is going to be ok?

[@emmad.176]

Totally. She brings out a bit of mom energy in me :)

[@hyunbyeolcha6571]

It's been 6 years, can we have an extended version now? ☹️

[@alcyonae]

Too painful to watch her cry. My father passed away as well, this stirred up deep emotions.

[@starlight992]

All these deleted scenes should have been on the bonus of the dvd and bluray.

[@emilyhenson7837]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but Drizella actually looked pretty for a few seconds...

[@lilianachavero4120]

Y’all saw how happy she got when that man gave her a small act of kindness

[@sindeeperkins3568]

I would have loved these scenes... I have watched this Masterpiece at least 25xs The details are incredible! The British have the most talented actors in the world...

[@MAVonYT]

Professor Lockhart decided to become a director after forgetting about being a wizard.

[@shelbydahlem4795]

This deleted scene just comes to show how much more cruel Lady Tremaine is: she wouldn't even let Ella GRIEVE for her own father's death 😭😭😭

[@lesleyfrolloandhooklover6615]

Since my father died 2 moths ago I cry 😭 every time I watch this and always think of my father too just like Cinderella in this deleted scene.😭

[@lunamiku4166]

Best Live Action of Cinderella imo

[@samshM]

This movie was a masterpiece for a live action fairytale. The acting, the screenplay, the dialogues, the costumes.. everything was so beautifully and carefully done, even very relatable & touching. This movie should have got more recognition than that overrated hideously annoying Beauty & the Beast.

[@jenessahicks8012]

Agreed, as for the two original Disney cartoons, I personally prefer Beauty and the Beast, however, the live action Cinderella is the superior live action film in my opinion.

[@elizzzzzzzza]

As someone that hated the movie because of how one note Cinderella was, they really should have kept this in. It added much more depth to her. What a shame they cut it out.

[@infotag7152]

Everything is soo perfect.. luv it soo much

[@valeriabarojasp]

the scene where Cinderalla smells her fathers shirt and weeps into it breaks me,

[@sunitafisher4758]

🌸 that’s so horrible for her to lose all her parents cherished possessions, all of which have sentimental value ✨ I’m glad she got one treasured item back A very long time ago after my dad died a week before I was born, mom struggled with my brother who’s autistic & learning difficulties due to brain damage at birth. So she moved back home to her mom’s home. Her 3 younger sisters were still there. Sadly my granny died and my mom’s youngest sister’s last two took dislike to me. With the abuse I never told my mom because I knew we had no where else to go & they threatened to start on my older brother. So I remained very quiet. It started age 2.5 to age 8. Years later we left and I fell in love with Cinderella story. I did all chores to help my poor mom & it was lots. This simple fairy tale gave me so much hope that dreams do come true I kept my chin up I’m grown now and I still love this tale 💕❤️✨

[@barbarablue2571]

The servents leaving was like if her father Would come to die for Ella.
