Cinderella (2021)

Cinderella

In this Camila Cabello Cinderella, the Cinderella story becomes a woke story. I don’t like it, but it is manageable. Cinderella is an activist/non-conformist of sorts, her stepmother has a nice side, the fairy godmother is a man, the Prince is an idiot, the prince has a sister who is eyeing the throne and they even touched on the king and queen’s love story. 

In original Cinderella, Prince Charming is the only child because his mother died while giving birth to him and he is actually quite intelligent because he came back from travelling in other kingdoms to learn. That was when his father said he should marry and there would be a ball, blah blah blah. And Cindy's dress was blue.💙

I’m actually tired of filmmakers adding a dumb character to movies, and even worse, to remakes, just for laughs. A very good example of this is Nickelodeon. If you want it to be current, then just make everybody be normal people. Why is the prince dumb - did it make Cinderella smarter?

The storyline is basically the same as well, kinda, I think. It’s been a while since I watched it. Cindy is an orphan, her stepmother wants to arrange profitable marriages for her daughters, but here, instead of trying to stop Cindy by tearing her ball dress and locking her up as it happened in the original, she tries to marry her off to a weird man who gives them free groceries. Believe me, the storyline is weird.  The music is good though, and I particularly like One in a Million by Camila.

5 out of 10.

LOOT EP. 1

  Welcome to my new happy place! I love this series so much – thus far. I started by downloading one episode to test it out, then downloaded the remaining once I was done with the first. It’s a little less than 30 minutes per episode and while there’s 10 episodes in the season, only 6 (now 8) are out for now. All episodes are standalone though. Story starts with Molly’s 45 th birthday. She’s married to a billionaire and they started out poor together. She got a boat- think Titanic size - for her birthday but at the party later, discovers her husband is cheating on her with his secretary (who was 1 year old when they graduated college). She gets a very painful divorce and 87 billion dollars. Apparently, she didn’t do anything but live rich once they became rich because she doesn’t know she has a charity organization. She gets called in by the very scary but pretty lady who heads the charity because her post traumatic divorce lifestyle is disturbing their reputation and decide...

  Molly’s husband does an interview (remember Meghan and Harry with Oprah- that kind) with his new wife and you know all these people who smile and insult you with very kind words, he’s that kind of person. She gets angry and decides to do one, sorry, ten too.   She preps for the interviews and all but on the interview day, gets scared and cancels. She decides to do a YouTube interview instead, the Hot Table Talk. You eat peppery food and talk. There are 10 levels. You can cool down with beer or milk. From the first bite, our aunty started drinking. You know that sweating and dripping nose, she was experiencing everything. She couldn’t sit. She was just gulping beer, Mixing it with milk. It was bad. Then she started getting angry- after she was drunk. She told them she could buy the studio and burn it down – as she was hopping around. She also told them she could kill them and nothing would happen. It was quite the interview.  She got 8 million views, with a lot of co...

  Molly decides to get involved in the day-to-day work at the charity and first day, she’s almost fainting at 10:04. They only get 5 minutes to talk about their weekend and there’s a lot of work to do. I know she sounds spoilt but after they got rich, she became a stay at home, go to lunch, the spa and cocktails kind of wife, you get. The movie gives an inkling into the lives of rich wives who are not WAGs, what do they do? Her friends who are currently in Miami call her but she can’t go meet them because she doesn’t want to seem unserious so she takes everyone at the office to Miami for a “bonding trip”. They were already a bit peeved about being kidnapped, then there’s a thunderstorm and they have to land in Oklahoma where they get stuck for hours.    They head back to the office but Molly goes to Miami, which she hates because her friends are fake people and it was not worth it. She apologizes after getting back to work and just invites the work people to the res...
