What is your all time favourite movie? If you can only pick one which would YOU say it was?
For me it's the movie Ever After. As a little girl I loved the story of Cinderella. I was convinced that when I grew up I was going to be a princess and marry a prince. At the age of 10 I fell madly inlove with Prince Frederik of Denmark. I even named my cabbage patch doll Frederik. :o Frederik is only 4 years older then me it seemed like a good match. I made my grandmother send me to finishing school so that when Frederick envited me to a royal dinner I would know exactly how to properly bow, and how to hold my silverware, what to eat and what to say. (I think my grandmother was just thinking it would give me good manners) I was going to be the crowned princess of Denmark. At age 16 I wrote Frederik a letter sadly he never responded. I have not lost my love for Frederik, though I have grown up and have a wonderful husband who I dearly love.
Ever After is a beautiful love story about a common women inlove with a Royal man. And with Angelica Houston as the evil step mother (Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent) really you can't go wrong. I think this movie is beautiful in costume design, that is rich in color and character. There is action, romance, sadness and pain. The story of Cinderella has been told many times in many ways, but for me this movie takes the original story and tells it in a unique way. They have even added characters to the movie which give interesting bits of history. For instance Leonardo Da Vinci has a very powerful role in this movie and as we all know he was quite the inventor, so this movie adds his inventions for an interesting twist. Drew Barrymore plays Danielle De Barbarac i.e Cinderella. And Dougray Scott plays the crowned prince of France Henri. This movie stays true to histoy and even takes you through to the French revolution. It is definately a movie for every women who ever wished they could be a princess, and live happily ever after.
