‘Cinderella’ 2021: A Musical Remake No One Asked For

 


Original Content- IHQ Reviews

It is 2021 and we are still telling the famous fairytale of ‘Cinderella’? The 2021 remake of the age-old fairytale is an uncalled effort and we aren’t much fan of it. This musical adaptation is an unwatchable mess and does not fit in the ‘Once upon a time’ era nor does it fit in the current era. It is pretty much a run down from then to now which is quite exhausting and leaves you gasping for air with disbelief.

And we haven’t yet started with the fact that how the movie vacillates as a remake, although the era, sets, and costumes remain the same, there’s a thin sophistication of female empowerment. Thus, instead of Ella (Camila Cabello) only wanting to escape her stepmother, Vivian’s (Idina Menzel) cruelty, she also longs to start a dressmaking business. However, this iteration does not entirely devote itself to her journey as a businesswoman but we still have to bring the prince, because why not. Consequently, the challenges to make Ella a contemporary figure displays as half-hearted.

Is The Storyline Unique or Baseless?


Kay Cannon’s Cinderella is an aspiring businesswoman who rejects the prince for marriage to pursue a career as a dressmaker. Cannon wants to fit so much in the movie, from the age-old back story to the new-age ideals only to make it packed leaving no space for the audience to relish the movie and its new avatar. It certainly was going places with its twists but it is tragic the story never landed at its destination. This story has weathered through countless iterations over the years and we do need new fairytales for the kids today however Cannon’s Cinderella is not what we are looking for.

We all know the story: Once upon a time in a far-off kingdom, a beautiful young girl was bullied by her stepmother and stepsisters and is later saved by her Godmother who helps her get to the ball organized by the Royal Kingdom for the prince to find his ride. She then will meet the prince and fall in love and will be escaped from this evil-spawning family of hers. But Cannon’s Cinderella does not need a prince to save her but she would rather save herself. And the stepmother is a character

straight out of any Jane Austen novel who does not disdain her stepdaughter but rather tries to protect her from the patriarchal society by advising her to find a suitable boy. On paper, this story of Cinderella is surely a fairytale but under the hands of Cannon, it is simply a nightmare.
