Here are some of my favorite photos from the trip

​

I know the live action remakes are controversial but i like most of the live action movies. This is my analysis of the live action Cinderella.

First of all I thought Lily James was very good as Ella and Richard Madden was very good as Kit.

I liked how they showed us the beginning scenes of Ella as a child and her mother dying etc instead of just telling us. I think it helped us connect with Ella on an emotional level.

It's been a long time since i watched the animated movie but in the live action i think the stepsisters were jealous of Ella because of her beauty.

The scene where Ella and her father are talking and he mentions how much he missed his first wife, and that her mother is the heart of their estate and Lady Tremaine eavesdrops was a good addition imo. It shows us why she was resentful towards Ella, she was jealous that he didn't love her like he did Ella's mother and she took that jealous out on Ella.

Again when Ella, Lady Tremaine and the sisters get the news that her father died the messenger said his last thought were of Ella and her mother, we see Lady Tremaine became more resentful of Ella because her father didn't love her at least not the way he loved his first life

I like Ella and Kit meeting in the forest, it added a little more depth to their romance, the instant connection between them.

Kit's father's health issues and his death explained why he was pushing Kit to marry, he wanted to make sure the kingdom and Kit were secure before he died.

I like how the fairy godmother tested Ella before she helped her, she wanted to see her character, see if she was worthy.

The chemistry between Richard and Lily was definitely there during their dance at the ball and their time after.

It's been a long time since i watched the animated movie but i don't think Ella and prince Charming go for the walk together in the animated movie. That added more development to their romance.

Lady Tremaine became suspicious of Ella after they returned from the ball.

The king's death while sad was a good addition because it made Kit king.

Lady Tremaine figuring out Ella was the girl at the ball explains why she went looking for the glass slipper.

I think Ella should have agreed to the deal with Lady Tremaine and the once she married Kit she could have gotten rid of all three of them but i like that she finally stood up to Lady Tremaine. She tried to be kind to her like she'd been told to be but she was finally ed up with Lady Tremaine's cruelty.

I like how it was explained the glass slipper refused to fit any woman's foot except Ella's, it was made to fit only her foot. This explains why it wouldn't it anyone else.

I appreciate how they kept Ella's mice friends.

I love the twist at the end of Kit being with the men who were searching for Ella.

I thought the Grand Duke's scheme with Lady Tremaine was an interesting twist.
