Summary
Plot
"The story of Cinderella follows the
fortunes of young Ella whose merchant father remarries following the tragic
death of her mother. Keen to support her loving father, Ella welcomes her new
stepmother Lady Tremaine and her daughters Anastasia and Drisella into the
family home. But, when Ella's father suddenly and unexpectedly passes away, she
finds herself at the mercy of a jealous and cruel new family. Finally relegated
to nothing more than a servant girl covered in ashes, and spitefully renamed
Cinderella, Ella could easily begin to lose hope. Yet, despite the cruelty
inflicted upon her, Ella is determined to honor her mother's dying words and to
'have courage and be kind.' She will not give in to despair nor despise those
who abuse her. And then there is the dashing stranger she meets in the woods.
Unaware that he is really a prince, not merely an employee at the Palace, Ella
finally feels she has met a kindred soul. It appears as if her fortunes may be
about to change when the Palace sends out an open invitation for all maidens to
attend a ball, raising Ella's hopes of once again encountering the charming
'Kit.' Alas, her stepmother forbids her to attend and callously rips apart her
dress. But, as in all good fairy tales, help is at hand as a kindly beggar
woman steps forward and, armed with a pumpkin and a few mice, changes
Cinderella's life forever."

Reflective
From the Movie
The first element of a movie I chose
Cinderella's glass slipper, the glass slipper is the key to push the plot, Wear
the glass slipper will become a beautiful princess. this pair of glass slipper
is easy to let people know that this is a fairy tale about Cinderella. But to
say, glass slipper is a symbol of Cinderella.
Pumpkin car in the movie is not very common,
pumpkin car is a fairy tale movie "Cinderella" in the key props. In
this movie pumpkin car symbolizes this status changes from low to high, and
pumpkin car represents the direction of achieving good wishes. So, I chose pumpkin cars as a key element of the
film.
The third key element I chose the broom, the
broom intuitively reflect the true identity of Cinderella, and also tell you
that the level of identity does not affect people's determination to pursue
their dreams, so I chose the third element of the broom. Each person's birth,
the ability of each person is different, but all have a conviction to pursue
their dreams. When you have a dream, we should defend it.
In the movie "Cinderella" after
midnight, everything must change back. According to this story, I chose a stop
at 12:00 midnight watch as a key element, 12:00 midnight is an important element
to promote the movie's plot twists, When people saw this movie for the midnight
12:00 must be very familiar with this story, So I chose the fourth element
stopped at 12:00 midnight watch.
In the movie "Cinderella", the broom
as representatives Cinderella maids, while the blue princess dress as
representatives Cinderella princess. Skirts and broom is a strong contrast to
the group, I learned from this movie, when we are a princess, do not go to
pride. When we are maids, do not go to envy Princess luxury. So I chose the
fifth element is blue princess dress.
