Compare Contrast
When most people think of the movie, "Cinderella", they think of the animated Disney version with the little mice and the happy ending where Cinderella marries the prince and they live happily ever after. While the movie "Ever After" is based on "Cinderella", it is not animated, but still has many of the same characteristics as the Disney version. Of course it is not exactly the same, and since it is not animated there are many differences. In "Ever After", Drew Barrymore portrays the character Cinderella, who in the beginning of this movie is called Danielle. In the very beginning, it shows how Danielle's father died and how she went off to live with her wicked stepmother and stepsisters. In "Cinderella", both of the stepsisters are wicked, but in "Ever After", her sister Jacqueline is not so wicked and usually sides with Danielle. In "Ever After", Jacqueline is the not so pretty and quiet sister and Marguerite is the loud obnoxious pretty one. One similarity is that in both movies, Cinderella and Danielle are servants to their stepmother and stepsisters. They are also not allowed to eat with them, only serve them. In "Ever After", Danielle's only friends are the other servants of the house, this is similar to how
Danielle fights for her freedom and just as she is about to slit the man with a sword, he decides he'd rather let her go than die. Henry, the prince, sees Danielle from across the room. They tell her that if she doesn't tell the truth, she will be killed. Whenever she does meet up with him, she makes sure she is dressed like a courtier, so he doesn't think that she is a servant. In "Ever After", the stepmother feels that her daughter Marguerite is prettier and more worthy of the crown, so she puts more effort into trying to get the prince to chose her. He has no idea what her name is or where she has come from. In "Cinderella", the stepmother tries to make sure that one of her daughters is chosen for a wife by the prince at the ball. In both cases their friends are always protective and willing to help. In "Cinderella", Cinderella doesn't meet the prince before the ball, she doesn't even really expect to be going to the ball. In "Ever After", Danielle's stepmother tells the queen that Danielle has left and she will be getting married to a Swedish man, when really she was locked up for fighting with Marguerite. Just as he does this, her wicked stepmother interrupts and explains that Danielle is only one of her servants. They start to fall for each other and they spend more and more time together. The king and queen question the stepmother of lying to the queen. Of course "Ever After" is a little bit more realistic because it is more like real life. "Cinderella" is similar where the mice work frantically to help Cinderella.
