Review of Cinderella (1950) by Cottre22 — 14 Mar 2015
The only thing that's interesting about this movie is the visual effects. Other than that, the story is incredibly boring and pathetic. Cinderella is a pushover, who allows her stepmother and stepsisters to abuse her.
This film basically says to young girls that it's okay if you're poor, if you're hot and nice, then some rich guy will rescue you. Lame. I really wanted to see Cinderella have some more attitude. I wanted her to rebel against her **** of a stepmother.
Yeah, right. She just kept letting them walk all over her again and again and again. I don't remember being so irritated by Cinderella's passiveness in the original. Here, in this remake, it felt like Cinderella had more of a choice and she chose to be bullied.
Is there something "courageous" or "kind" about letting yourself be abused? Hell no.
