Cinderella (1997)
I loved it...but things previously said need to be addressed.
Okay. People who are complaining about the race need to shut up. One because it isn't necessary, and completely rude. If there is going to be a movie about magic and mice turning into friggin men and pumpkins in carriages and rags to gorgeous gowns than how is it so awful to show people of other races in this movie. The whole story Cinderella is just a story, so people acting like things need to be accurate a.k.a. PC( politically correct) is ridiculous and quite frankly idiotic. "People at the time would have hated people of color", one there really is no set time, or actually name of this place, and two people of the time would have hated the fact that there was a fairy godmother they would have called her a friggin witch and burned her, but do you bring up that, no, and saying it isn't racism and that you don't have a problem with it yet find it ridiculous and write a full paragraph about it, it is a total hypocritical statement, filled with falsity and disillusion and in denial, it is a paradox filled with such a blatantly obvious stupidity it makes me sick. I am currently angry as can be read. There are not really many movies out in this time and at that time that show people of other colors having the same opportunities. In practically every Disney movie everywhere all you see are white girls getting the happy ending, what makes it so wrong for an African American playing Cinderella? The story is the same, and the whole idea that not all things are impossible are there. The songs were the same so the portrayal that some of these people are giving are quite ridiculous. The voices are magical. I remember when I saw this movie as a little girl that I was absolutely amazed, because it was the first time I saw a African American getting the same opportunity in my movies for my age; Movies that influence the youth of my time. Criticizing this is just as bad as someone criticizing an African American Barbie doll. The movies was phenomenal. When people get past the racial issues they have and don't use it to judge the movie they can see how amazing it was. Whitney Houston, Brandy, Paolo Montalban, Natalie Desselle, Jason Alexander, Whoopi Goldberg, Victor Garber, Veanne Cox,Bernadette Peters performed amazingly. I like this version the most. It was an extraordinary movie that I believe was worth watching. And so many people I know of all ages would say so too. Watch and Develop your own opinion of it, but be realistic that the whole story in itself, all versions to be exact are not realistic since it is about a magic.
