WAIT SO IM WATCHING THE CAMILA CABELLO NICHOLAS GALITZINE CINDERELLA MOVIE AGAIN (because of RWRB obviously) AND IM CACKLING AT THIS PART

THIS MOVIE IS SO MUCH FUNNIER THAN I REMEMBER IT BEING LMAO

[writingisworms]

I'm so tired of big names creating new Cinderella movies that are just the Disney-punk not-like-other-girls "feminist" version instead of, idk, highlighting and uplifting innovative retellings of the classic fairy tales

searched for ‘#amazon cinderella’ here on tumblr since i just watched it and wanted to see some gifs of dialogue i found funny but people were just literally hating on the movie, pointing out all the bad parts and mistakes they made with costumes and characters and whatever… did you guys watch it so seriously? like isn’t it meant to be watched sarcastically??? i mean yeah it sucked but that was part of what was funny about it. come on, how can you hate on billy porter as fabolous fairy godmother??? and the fact that robert is clearly gay (or bi) the way he’s bantering with his “best mate” (that he calls “beautiful human”). that’s hilarious!!! and seven nation army at the ball i mean cooooome on, it’s fantastic!!! live a little, everything doesn’t have to be perfect to enjoy it

I have beef with the 2021 “Amazon” Cinderella and here’s why…

Not only is it just awful in acting and originality, but it was like it was trying to be Ella Enchanted mixed with Hamilton, mixed with Bad Cinderella, sprinkled with every stupid quirky trope they could give characters and nothing landed.

Which is so sad seeing the talented people (not Camila or James Cordon) they had in this cast!

But I think the #1 thing that truly was the nail in the coffin for me with this entire “movie” was that it was a rip off of a web comic called The Prince and the Dressmaker.

Which in itself, is WAY better than the entire movie honestly. I read the first few pages of it and I was already hooked. If they had just make THIS into its own movie without it being “Cinderella” it would’ve been so much better. And it already has a Cinderella vibe to it so you wouldn’t really have to force it to be something it already was.

To my knowledge they didn’t even credit the comic (it’s a book you can buy to actually) it was based on, let me know if I’m incorrect.

I’d be glad if they did, but I watched the credits and I didn’t see anything about it. It came out in a TikTok video I saw later on that it was actually based on this comic. And they weren’t subtle about ripping it frame by frame either 😅

Anyway.

No hate if you enjoyed this movie, but all I would say is… have you tried watching LITERALLY any other version of the story?

Read the comic! It’s really good! 😊

everytime Ella says "designs" in relation to her stepmothers' plot for what Trolls will do when they rule the world again, i think about the stepmother with one of cork boards that usually have like fashion designs on it.

Her cork board has "SLAUGHTER HOUSE" in bold letters.

I know technically Nicholas Galitzine dyed his hair blond instead of wearing a wig BUT the blond wig phenomenon struck again because I think that man was MEANT to be a blond.

Like when the Prime Cinderella came out, I remember thinking the prince was so-so, then RWRB came out and I was like, he's cute what else has he been in and LO AND BEHOLD

and its not like I have a thing for blonds okay, historically speaking tall, dark and handsome have been my type so it's not like I have a biased opinion here

I'm curious to find out if the 2021 Cinderella and Purple Hearts on Amazon and Netflix are getting rewatched a lot now that the trailer for Red, White, and Royal Blue is out.

Infinite list of favourite lyrics: 224/?

Don McLean - On the Amazon (1972)

"Snarling equinox

Among the rocks

Will seize you

And the Fahrenheit

Comes out at night

To freeze you...

Wild duodenum

Are lurking in the trees

And the jungles swarm

With green apostrophes,

Oh, the Amazon is calling me."

[incorrectly-quoted-queers]

So uh. My book? Daughter of Or? It's #18 in new gay horror releases???

At least for today, I am peers with bookish icon CHUCK TINGLE???

I could die. This is bliss.

I'm finally watching Amazon's Cinderella:

What kind of rich girl sewing studio is that??

Is that FRA FEE??

Wait, is that Prince Henry???

It is Nicholas Galitzine! He's playing a royal again soon. This poor boy is probably so sick of typecasting. It's his adorable royal gay face.

This movie is actually really good? And does not deserve the hate. Future cult classic.

Um, they didn't use Fra Fee for his musical talents... .wtf.

Well, at least he's in the upcoming Disney Beauty and The Beast tv show.

It's very important I follow @contagiousgrace actually because I'll be deeply snobby about things I haven't even watched and dismiss them out of hand and then she'll watch them and be like actually there are good points and I'll be forced to gain a nuanced understanding and sometimes even watch the thing myself and love it

Can someone please explain to me why everyone seems to hate this movie (apart from the fact that it's an Amazon original)? Because I've watched it twice now, and I think it's tons of fun. I'm not really a Camilla Cabello fan, but I'll watch this movie a hundred times over the live action Disney one from 2015 that everyone else seems to like for some reason.

It's got humor and camp that feels like it came out of the early 2000s (in a fun way).

Cinderella knows it's ridiculous that she talks to the mice. This movie knows what it is, and I bet everyone had fun making it.

"They made Cinderella into a girl boss!" Shut the fuck up. I'm putting the phrase "girl boss" on the high shelf. Giving Cinderella hobbies and a dream/goal for her future doesn't make her a "girl boss." It makes her more of a real person with an actual personality. She's not just "nice" or "kind" or "sweet." She wants to sell clothes and not be abused by her family. That's all.

Speaking of personalities, I love that the characters actually have personalities that subvert the original story. Even the step sisters! I love that the step mother wants Cinderella to marry the prince when she finds out it was her at the ball, because duh! Why wouldn't she want to have her whole family live in luxury? And I love that the step mother has a backstory that makes us understand more about why she is the way she is without necessarily forgiving her. There's a lot more humanity to her under the bitchiness.

I'm just gonna say it, I like this actor more as Robert than as Henry in the Red White And Royal Blue movie.

I like that Cinderella and Robert actually have fun and meaningful conversations instead of just "they dance at a ball and then get married." This has them act more like a regular couple, and I like that the end goal for them isn't getting married but getting to know each other better.

I like that Robert helps her leave the ball when he sees something is wrong and she's upset.

The songs are fun enough for the most part. We get Idina Menzel singing "Material Girl" and I love the "What A Man/7 Nation Army" mashup at the ball. And I actually listen to the cast version of "Am I wrong" all the time, unironically.

Love Minnie Driver in anything. She's so fucking funny in this movie (I crack up every time I see her measuring the thrones, I will not apologize).

Love Gwen. End of story.

Love the costume design for the other girls at the ball and the variety of styles for their hair and dresses.

Is this movie perfect? God no. Does it have parts I think are silly or dumb (*cough* the mice *cough*)? Yeah, but it's one of the more fun Cinderella adaptations I've seen. Again, it's got that early 2000s feel, so I guess if that's not your jam, I understand. But again, this has so much more energy and personality than the hundreds of Disney live action remakes coming down the pipeline. So seriously, why do people shit on this movie so much?

There are so many musicals (particularly, movie musicals) that would have been significantly better if they had just picked better songs
