This kind of fairy tale live-action film and television works often bear great pressure and expectation, but this live-action movie Cinderella released on 20 15 was produced by Disney, a professional dream company.
Whether it is visual effect or actor configuration, the completion and presentation effect are very surprising ~
Evaluation of this kind of "fairy tale" movies, generally have the following three criteria:
1, the restoration of fairy tale scenes
2. The reduction (and innovation) of fairy tale characters
3. Can you dig out new ideas in "old stories"
In the restoration of scenes and classic elements, "Cinderella" is definitely a "big hand".
The key elements of Cinderella's transformation in fairy tales-the crystal shoes given by the fairy and the long skirt at the dance.
Disney invited sandy powell, a famous costume designer known as the "real fairy godmother", to design this knife.
This woman, who was nominated for the Oscar for 17 times and won the Oscar for Best Costume Design three times, began to design costumes two years before the film started shooting.
Cinderella, an elegant and imposing blue dress, has 65,438+02 layers and 65,438+00,000 Swarovski crystals. It took 65,438+08 tailors nearly 250 meters of thread and more than 550 hours to sew.
And! There are 9 backup versions of the same type * * *!
Cinderella's crystal shoes are also made of real Swarovski crystals, 5 inches high and 8 pairs.
But real crystal shoes can't bear the weight of people, so in fact, actors wear leather shoes, and then they use real crystal shoes for special effects synthesis later.
In the configuration of characters, this version of Cinderella has also made a "subversive" innovation. The vicious stepmother in the fairy tale, although still fierce in the movie version, has become more "Queen Fan" and full of aggression, completely crushing Cinderella and the prince in the gas field.
The characters are more three-dimensional, and her oppression of Cinderella is not so unreasonable, but more like a natural behavior of the characters.
I can't help it, because she is the devil Kate! ! !
When the stepmother gracefully walked into the screen in a dark green velvet dress, although she knew she was a "villain", she still hoped to win!
The actor of fairy godmother unexpectedly chose helena bonham carter.
As the resident hostess of tim burton's dark fairy tale world, and the impressive "female death eater" who killed Sirius in the Harry Potter series-lestrange.
When Helena picks up her wand, there is always a feeling that she will shout "Abada is going to kill me!" The next minute. Hallucinations.
Judging from the plot, this version of Cinderella is more independent.
Although many people spit out "ugliness", this time Cinderella is no longer a silly and sweet girl saved by the prince with plug-ins.
She inherited the "strong and brave, kind and kind" taught by her mother before she died, and became more lively and independent. Her love drama with the prince is also in line with the dreamy atmosphere of "fairy tales".
The beauty of the prince is amazing, but the "tight crotch pants" he wears are subtle ... In the interview, Cate Blanchett joked that these tight crotch pants are very suitable for him ~ this is the "sweetness" of mothers who accompany their children to the cinema to see fairy tales.
After this version of Cinderella was released, there was a heated discussion about whether there was a materialized woman who relied on the prince to save herself from danger.
Many people think that Cinderella's counterattack by "face value" will bring bad guidance to children.
In this regard, I want to say that when Cinderella only appeared as a fairy tale, the public never had such concerns.
Fairy tales are not textbooks. Their function is only to tell us a wonderful story full of fantasy for ordinary human beings.
Instead of teaching others "the truth of being a man."
Judging from the fairy tale version, the Disney version of Cinderella is very successful.
