We all have experienced the magical Disney version of Cinderella. It was one of those childhood memories. But the magic doesn’t stop with that one. The movie, Ever After, was made after the Cinderella theme, but with a little twist in it. It doesn’t have Fairy-God Mothers, magic wands or anything to that extent. It has a wonderful story even without those things thrown into it. As the movie opens to the setting sometime back in the nineteen-hundred, with a farm and a castle. The father of that home has sorrowed over the loss of his wife. He has a daughter named Danielle (Drew Barrymore) who brightens his gloomy days. She was raised up with her dad who takes care of her along with some of the servants to help her grow and try to fill in that …show more content…

You wouldn’t think that it would be all that bad because at least she has a step-mother to look up to for help and guidance, well think again. That motherly figure was nothing more than a master to Danielle. Baroness Rodmilla didn’t treat Danielle as her daughters but as a servant girl who did even belong to the family. Year after year it seemed that she was sent to make her life miserable, and eliminate her happiness. But through it all she kept strong with little to no complaining. She wasn’t completely alone she had the other servants there to help her and be her friend, which friendship she deserved from everybody. She was one of those kind hearted people that just didn’t look out for herself, but also for the people around …show more content…

This is the point in Danielle’s life where happiness finally came into her life, in the time that she needed it, to turn right back around to what it was. Her step-mother always tries to find a way to make her life miserable, and she always does her best to do so. In my opinion, the directors that made Ever After did a wonderful job at picking actresses. All of them just do their parts perfectly and that character becomes who they are. And their own personality’s contribute to their acting skills. They are so good they have you fooled to think that their character’s personality is really their own, and maybe it is. For example; Drew Barrymore puts life into her character Danielle. Just like Dougray Scott does to his character. The one actress, in my opinion, that no other actress could do it as marvelous is Angelica Hutson she really does an amazingly great job! Even though this movie would be classified as a romance movie, some humor and action is also included into the scenes as well. So it won’t be one of those movies that you are counting down the minutes for the end to come. Instead, you will be intrigued and sitting on the edge of you
