Ella Enchanted (10/12) Movie CLIP - I'm Free (2004) HD

[@LarkaMonkey]

This was like the most dramatic moment of my childhood.

[@KidsPlayingSoldiers]

I know right? It was the most intense scene in disney

[@RisaGreen]

Is this Disney?

[@LarkaMonkey]

Not technically, but I think Disney might have had some part in it.

[@huerta0920]

Larka Monkey saaame! And no this was not a Disney movie I'd say

[@izzahadeel2713]

Mine too. Can you believe it I was 1year old THAT time?

[@brandy1185]

I just realized that she commanded herself not to be obedient, when before, I just thought she fought the curse. So that's how she broke it. :)

[@Acetrainergold96]

Brandy Woah! I never thought of that! I'd always thought it was just willpower!

[@Jana-vx8zg]

But it was willpower... she repeated the phrase as a way to convince herself that it's possible. It's a form of therapy to trick your recalibrate your brain with positive reinforcement

[@pmparda]

Jonathan Hart I don't think she was ever capable of commanding herself. Who is?

[@chadhoelzel2986]

Brandy I agree with you because she got commanded her self and then she broke the curse

[@mollylea2643]

pmparda She said it while she was looking in the mirror, so she could command herself.

[@ele_99]

Gosh, this scene always gives me chills, expecially because of Annie: her sighs and gasps give this scene a sort of dark tone, as if she was the one who must die, and not Char

[@justinholder400]

Anne is an amazing actress! My favorite scene of the movie. The pure talent and raw emotion she showed was outstanding.

[@ele_99]

@@justinholder400 agreed😀

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

Had she killed Char she probably would've wanted to die because she loved him so much, she wouldn't be able to forgive herself had she killed the love of her life.

[@nerd6558]

Again, SHOOK OwO

[@wizardwarrior713]

Omg she's an amazing actress Such a dramatic scene, I love it. I think in the past Ella's tried to tell herself what to do instead, but it just didn't work. But now when she feels the need more than any other time in her life, the spell finally breaks. Beautiful

[@vinke008]

It's because she sees herself in the mirror, so she could command herself not to be obedient anymore. A clever twist. It's been ages since I last saw the film and I've noticed this just now lol

[@crueltyfreecolorist1025]

This was always memorable to me as a kid. That her love but most importantly, her will to be free and be strong was powerful!

[@Jansci7G]

To anyone confused why Ella did not think of doing this before, in the original book, it's explained new orders supersede old ones, so this trick wouldn't have worked. In fact, the whole Ella having to kill the Prince is not even in the book. This is what we like a call a "adaptation-induced plot hole."

[@jasminedas7111]

[@norakirayumi]

If 'new orders supersede the old ones', that just means she actually can never be free from the curse, since she might still be takin orders from someone who gives new command to her after this*. 🤷‍♂️ Can someone explain WHY she won't be 'obedient' anymore? What makes her command to herself stops every other command which comes after this?? 🤔

[@melanielloyd9568]

Yeeessss I hate how much this stupid movie is nothing like that AMAZING book!!!

[@ConMan-ye4ou]

That moment when she says "I'm free" and she looks up, that to me was an amazing moment that was legitimately awards worthy, its a shame it had to be in such a juvenile film.

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

There's nothing wrong with this movie...

[@leohino9211]

This movie wasn't juvenile at all

[@hlabhlabhlab]

Kind of condescending, just because it's a film meant for younger audiences and a film that's a comedy, doesn't mean it's not allowed to be deep when it wants to. That shows how versatile and not hollow the movie is: it had the ability to make the characters be silly and not take itself seriously but also get serious when the time comes or to show more depth. It's great that this was in this film and not somewhere else that would be "less juvenile". Ugh.

[@MarshmallowSketches]

@@RedRoseSeptember22 that's your opinion *and mine to but I'm just putting myself in their shoes*

[@duckcluck123]

@@hlabhlabhlab that's really well said

[@TheClumsyXeno]

Way to go Ella! She sure showed that spell who was boss!

[@frankiselby1234]

Fun fact: this scene with the Hall of Mirrors was the most difficult to film due to the mirrors and the complexity of the camera angles.

[@BenZinnar]

I like how traumatizing flashbacks of her being told what to do built tension and then that tension cathartically released when her spell was broken.

[@angeld3654]

I remember when I was a kid, I kept screaming "no!" Repeatedly and loudly every time I watch this scene!!! I still do think this part is just so dramatic and yet kept thinking about what could've happened!! Gotta say this was the moment that made me truly admire Anne as an actress just wow!! Bravo!!

[@taylorsmith3254]

His uncle should of killed Ella

[@pbscraze]

Her late mother’s words were the key to lifting the spell

[@monique3984]

this was the most stressful event of my childhood

[@daniela17764]

poor Will, every lover he has tries to stab him...

[@amandaeklund9499]

daniela17764 who is Will? :)

[@ruthlessxo99]

Amanda Eklund Will is Hugh Dancy's character on Hannibal.

[@byknktsuki]

I knew he looked familiar!!!

[@saramcmurtrie3955]

Now she was under a spell he was actually trying to stab him in the back

[@evavega2094]

This the saddest part of the movie

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

Actually it's the happiest because she breaks her own curse.

[@cheneethompson5756]

I agree! Until she breaks the terrible curse!

[@dominicjacksonjr.1403]

[@taylorsmith3254]

His uncle should of killed Ella.

[@erinr8614]

I mean, I get in the heat of the moment that Char would see a knife in Ella’s hand and freak, but didn’t he see that she dropped the knife and didn’t actually try to kill him?

[@bruhidk3069]

I guess he figured that she was gonna do it but then changed her mind so he still saw her as a potential threat

[@saraedenn]

gosh anne's so talented!!! i'm so sad i never watched this movie when i was a kid because it's genuinely really good

[@katehu7194]

This scene really got to me when I first watched it. Anne has always been a great actor :)

[@BenZinnar]

It’s this scene and the “I’m frightened” scene from Wizard of Oz that are my most intense scenes of childhood cinema

Thank you Gail Carson Levine❤

[@mickyk5816]

When I was little this scene scared the shit out of me

[@daughterofluthien]

Look I'm just saying that Hugh Dancy has super bad luck embracing people that he cares about, especially when knives are involved. If this wasn't a kid's film, this could have gone in a very retroactively familiar direction...

[@annabourbon]

Meaning... Hannibal?

[@seanpatrickcain2]

0:44 You will NO LONGER BE OBEDIENT!

[@TastyGamingQc]

Technically she didn’t break the spell but rather found a loophole. No one ever said she couldn’t order herself!

[@a.g.demada5263]

She did it by looking herself in the mirror and remember her mother's words

[@innova_tr9320]

Honestly favorite scene of the movie

[@cynthiahoungblame6030]

the prince look like the guy from the music video called hot n cold

[@angelholder5513]

My ex fiance and I recreated this scene along with a few of our friends. Was a lot of fun

[@ajroses4267]

Poor Will, no matter what universe he's in people are always either attempting to murder him or mess with his mind. :( Lol, the moment I realized that he was the Prince in this movie I knew the Hannibal fandom was going to have a field day with the information.

[@tamararice4587]

Yes but this wasn't Ella's fault

[@angiemaniaciskatingfan723]

For that reason, she broke the curse.

[@annabourbon]

Also the book it's pretty different...

[@nicolelatham979]

I just listened to the entire audiobook in one day but still like the movie more. Especially how she gets rid of the curse

Should this have been a film for adults, Char’s uncle would’ve ordered Ella to do inappropriate things to, with, and for him. Killing Char wouldn’t have even been in his mind when he found out about this in the r-rated version. Just goes to show you how dark this movie can really get.

Growing up with this scene I thought she finally found the will to stop. But then I realize all she needed was to look into her reflection all along and tell herself to no longer be obedient.

This is a fallacy, you cannot be obedient to yourself. For obedience to exist, at least two parties are needed.

[@Aslimb6gd]

I have to say it. Using the curse to break itself is a simple yet clever way to do so. I wonder though, why didn't she think of that earlier?

[@a.g.demada5263]

Maybe because she didn't know she could or because her gift doesn't work like that. She managed to break the curse by remembering her mother's words and looking herself in the mirror

As an aspiring actor, I know that most likely, the knife was not on Anne's person when they started by walking in. When we were focused on her face, a prop master or other crew member most likely placed it in her hand.

[@gemmabicknell105]

I always wondered why someone didn't just tell her never to be obedient ever again. Surely that would have worked too

[@a.g.demada5263]

Her mother said only her and Mandy were aware about the gift and told her to not tell to anyone. But I think it probably will bad if someone asked her that because it seems that her gift works without she wants to do the thing so I guess she'll never do anything we ask her even if it's not bad things. Sorry if I'm not clear, english isn't my birth language

[@rosemiller6388]

Mandy wasn’t any help honestly. She could have done more to help Ella like when they made her dump her best friend she could have stopped it instead just watched.

[@taynacious9456]

This part always upsets me or pisses me off for some reason. She's tried so hard to be herself and to be free then when she finally is she's swept away by the guards for attempted murder. Like ugh no

[@pattid4373]

I have never noticed how dark this movie was

[@norakirayumi]

Can someone explain WHY she won't be 'obedient' anymore? If *'new orders supersede the old ones'* that just means she actually can never be free from the curse, since she can still be takin orders from someone who gives new command to her after this*. 🤷‍♂️ What makes her command to herself stops every other command which comes after this?? 🤔

[@kaileighrow3654]

If she told herself not to be obedient, then that rule no longer applies because the curse is broken.

[@DLxxx]

She can't be obedient if she was told to no longer be obedient. Had she said something "you will not kill the prince", then the act could've been stopped, but the curse would still apply. By saying she can "no longer be obedient" though, she effectively made it so following any more orders would be impossible without the curse fighting itself (effectively nullifying it).
