One of my very favorite films ever is the most recent live action Cinderella. It's beautifully done, with excellent casting and performances, not to mention all the visuals involved. But I think what really stands out is that it's a good story, and Cinderella reminds us to be our best selves (I tried a less cheesy way of saying that but it just had to be put that way). Ella and Prince Kit each have their own hardships in the film, and I think Richard Madden put it best in his description of modernizing the character:
"This was so much more interesting because I had to make a character that’s worthy of being around her and worthy of her affections. So, I made him someone who had a sense of humor and who is aware of his own privilege and who has compassion for everyone around him."

The two have excellent chemistry, and I think it's the perfect way of telling a classic fairytale for a modern audience. I have about a million screencaps saved so I'll do a few posts featuring different themes, this time it's all about Cinderella and Prince Kit.

I still haven't seen it, but it's definitely on my list! I loved (LOVED) the animated movie when I was a child, so I have no doubt that I would enjoy the live action version immensely.
A style blogging website did a fantastic job analyzing the costumes from the movie, you might really enjoy reading it.

I recently watched this for the first time a few months ago (finally...) and I totally agree! It was a lovely film! Growing up, the Disney animation film was my FAVORITE MOVIE EVER! I still enjoy watching it from time to time! And I felt the same happy vibes watching this live action version. <3
