Last night, I got the opportunity to watch the new "Cinderella" Prime video with my lockdown family. It has been a much anticipated movie with lots of TV promos as the newest remake movie of Disney princess stories that have a European past.
The opening scenes of the movie included some interesting music drawn from the 1980s - 1990s such as Janet Jackson's 'Rhythm Nation' which happened to be my theme songs album during my Masters studies in the late 1980s at Auckland University (Geography Department). There was also the song by Freddy Mercury from Queen of "Bohemian Rhapsody".
The film set was interesting with a lot of people of diversity and lots of dancing. The main character of Ella (short for Cinderella) was performed by singer Camila Cabello with some beautiful singing throughout the movie. There were lots more 'stars' in the movie but I definitely won't spoil it for you.
As with many 21st century remade Fairy tales stories movies, the prince doesn't always rescue the damsel in distress and then whisk her away, after their marriage, to the distant sun setting horizon on a white stead. This movie's ending is no except...
