a dream

When I was a girl, I loved reading campus novels, and I vaguely remembered an article where the male protagonist bought a pendant of a pumpkin carriage with the first money he earned and gave it to the girl in his heart. I was very envious at that time and wanted to have my own pumpkin carriage.

It seems to go back even earlier. From the story of Cinderella in fairy tale books, the complex of princes and princesses began to sprout. In the dream, there are pumpkin carriages inlaid with beads and diamonds, crystal slippers, tutu skirts, ancient castles, and the chimes of broken dreams at midnight.

At that time, I was sitting in the movie theater, watching the Cinderella who lived on the top floor, dressed in shabby clothes, being treated harshly by her stepmother, riding a horse in the green forest and meeting the prince, and, in the classic scene after that, the fairy stick was lightly tapped and turned into gorgeous With a tutu skirt and crystal clear shoes, Cinderella rode a golden pumpkin carriage to the outside of the castle, appeared at the court banquet with fragrant temples, and danced with the prince until the clock rang at midnight. A crystal slipper that fell from the panic escape... It almost restored the scene in my dream. This is a fairy tale for adults.

In the two-hour movie, more plots other than fairy tales have been added, the depiction of the stepmother is richer and more angles, and the prince also has concerns about inheriting the throne. After all, this is not a perfect world. We have all grown up watching Cinderella. Big, although there are still dreams in our hearts, the reality keeps us stagnant.

Anyway, thank you Disney for restoring my childhood dream.

Cinderella quotes

  • Lady Tremaine: [after Ella hears the announcement of the ball] Having delivered your news, why are you still here? You must return to town right away and tell that seamstress to run us up three fine ballgowns.

    Cinderella: Three? That's very thoughtful of you.

    Lady Tremaine: What do you mean?

    Cinderella: To think of me.

    Lady Tremaine: Think of you?

    Drizella: Mummy, she believes the other dress is for her. Poor slow, little Cinders. How embarrassing.

    Lady Tremaine: [laughing] You're too ambitious for your own good.

    Cinderella: Oh, no. I only want to see my friend.

    Lady Tremaine: Let me be very clear. One gown for Anastasia, one for Drizella, and one for me!

    [she says something in French]

    Anastasia: She doesn't know what that means.

    Lady Tremaine: [Ella responds in French] Good. Right. That's settled, then. Now go! Every girl in the kingdom will be chasing the prince. You must get there first before the seamstress is drowning in work!

    Anastasia: [following behind] Tell me what she said, Drizella.

    Drizella: I speak French, not Italian!

  • Captain: [getting the best of Kit while fencing] Wake up, Your Royal Highness. You're in a daze.

    Prince Charming: Oh, sorry.

    Captain: You've been off since the hunt.

    Prince Charming: It's that wonderful girl. I can't stop thinking about her.

    Captain: Well, there are plenty of girls.

    Prince Charming: But her spirit, her goodness...

    Captain: You don't suppose she has a sister, do you?

    Prince Charming: I don't know. I don't know anything about her.

    Captain: Perhaps your mystery girl may come to the ball. That is why you threw the doors open, is it not?

    Prince Charming: Captain. It was for the benefit of the people.

    Captain: Of course. How shall of me.

    Prince Charming: And if she comes, then what?

    Captain: Then you will tell her you're a prince. And a prince may take whichever bride he wishes.

    Prince Charming: Ha!

    Captain: Ha?

    Prince Charming: Yes, "ha". You know my father and the Grand Duke will only have me marry a princess.

    Captain: Well, if this girl from the forest is as charming as you say, they may change their minds.
