I love the fact that the writer/people who made this was just like, "and we'll have Leonardo Da Vinci as the fairy godmother!" and they followed through with it lol. I loved this commentary, one of my all time favourite movies!

But Danielle

I adore this film, Drew and Dougray's chemistry is radiant, and I love how it was a slightly different spin on the Cinderella tale.

Fun fact: Dougray Scott was cast as Wolverine for the live action X MEN movie, but turned it down due to scheduling conflicts with MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 2. Drew Barrymore was going to play Rogue in the movie as well. Both roles went to Hugh Jackman and Anna Paquin.

I had so much to say about this movie that my first round of edits left it at a whopping 45.5 minutes long!!! I tried to leave the best parts in hehe happy early Valentine’s Day!!! 💕💕

Yeah you're right about Henry. He could've just been so hurt by her lying to him that he goes quiet and refuses to speak to her, maybe doesn't defend her as she's being shamed by the Baroness. As it is he doesn't do enough to earn her forgiveness at the end. My only real issue with the movie.

[@Holly-be2ny]

This movie gave me the niche desire to have an old, inventive, creative, man friend who provides mentorship, pretty outfits, and wingman-ing. Like that's where this movie becomes a self-insert fantasy for me

[@Willfulwishing]

Did you know there was a stage musical based off of this movie? There’s a whole song dedicated to her wet paper lie of staying with her cousin lol

[@HuskerNinja]

“Of course not, Mother. I’m only here for the food.” One of the things I like the most about this adaptation is it’s genuinely really funny, and this is hands-down my absolute favorite line. I aspire to be that petty one day

This is my favorite version of Cinderella. No offense to the others. But this one just hit different. When the step mom answers the question 'Did you ever, for even a moment, love me?' That part makes me sob every single time. It's such a simple answer, but it breaks my heart. It's so raw.

Henry is hurt when he finds the truth. Yes she has been teaching him to see beyond, but she was doing so from an equal standing with him. He thought of her as a peer, someone who understood some of the troubles he was having, someone he could talk to, and then he finds that it wasn't like that. He was hurt, and when men are hurt they get angry. She should have told him at the ruins, and I think his response would have been vastly different. But he found out, as he was going to propose, in front of his family and all of these people, and he felt betrayed. I love how human everyone is in this.

You need to bear in mind that even though Danielle is not of the servant class and was born to a wealthy father, he was a merchant and not an aristocrat (basically he's new money)

[@limitlesssoul2882]

I feel like he didn't see the girl who threw an apples at him. He had his cape over his head at first, and once removed she immediately dropped to the ground. She spends the rest of the short interaction with her head down so why would he recognize her face later? I think this is the movie's explanation.

[@viedal]

Also I love this movie for how well it handled what would have been cliché in other adaptations: not-like-other-girls girl, girl saves herself instead of the prince, materialistic sexually-forward female antagonist, liar revealed, etc etc... it never felt like they were following tropes, or ashamed of the material. they just made a film that let the characters breathe and exist in the reality they created, if only more modern fairy tale adaptations could do the same

[@almond_jellii]

Yesss!!! I love this Cinderella adaptation! I love a lot of things about it, but I also love the costumes. Like the sister? She has a set gown that's saved for special events and she reuses it! The Just Breathe dress wasn't magic, it was her mothers. It also sticks out in the crowd since it's just a bit older than the current dress styles. A lot of period movies like to make it as if people have infinite closets, when people had pieces they mended and saved.

[@user-2012July-A]

I like where she 'takes only what she can carry'. Such a boss move.

[@lydiah12]

Danielle has been so deprived of maternal love. I love imagining the Queen being just the best mother-in-law to her.

[@takaono7243]

This didn't occur to me until someone mentioned it in another reaction to this movie last year, but I think the reason she cries out at
