    The film tells the story of Cinderella hardships while overcoming the jealousy, anger and discouragement of her cruel stepsisters and wicked step mother. What this film shows is the unbreakable bond she develops with her mother throughout her adolescent years, the values and morals she taught her and how their special connection continued to grow even after her mother becomes fatally ill. Viewers are not usually introduce to Cinderella parents or being capable of seeing the background story and close relationship she shares with both her mother and father. The storyline shared new aspects that viewers are getting to grasp and understand, far as why Cinderella continued to stay in her mother and father’s home and constantly be mistreated by her step siblings. Viewers start to feel compassionate towards her situation. There were characters who actors did a superb job, such as Kate Blanchett’s Stepmother. The film was captured beautifully. In particular the infamous “godmother and pumpkin carriage” scene was one of my favorite depiction of the scene out of all the Cinderella films. The film was successful at capturing; the glitz, glam, the moral meaning of showing kindness, good fortunes happen such as becoming a princess and you’ll live happily ever after. The film stay true to the original folktale of Cinderella far as significance and subtle gore. The dialogue was tolerable. Overall the film was decent when comparing to the several vision of the popular Disney tale. A 1950's film that looks particularly interesting is Norman Foster’s, “Woman on the Run”. This film's plot sounds intriguing, although I am not a big fan of the Film Noir genre, I do enjoy action movies during this period to compare the advancement of special effects with gun power and explosion to today's Action movies.…

Though the lesson remains the same, comparisons reveal numerous differences between Walt Disney’s Cinderella to the earlier Charles Perrault’s “Cinderella: Or the Glass Slipper”. Variations are noticed in characters, events, and outcomes of this world-famous…
