CINDERELLA
The
story of “Cinderella” follows the fortunes of young Ella (Lily James)
whose merchant father remarries following the death of her mother. Eager
to support her loving father, Ella welcomes her new Stepmother (Cate
Blanchett) and her daughters Anastasia (Holliday Grainger) and Drisella
(Sophie McShera) into the family home. But, when Ella’s father
unexpectedly passes away, she finds herself at the mercy of a jealous
and cruel new family.
Soon,
she is forced to become their servant, disrespected, covered in ashes
and spitefully renamed Cinderella. Yet, despite the cruelty inflicted
upon her, Ella will not give in to despair nor despise those who
mistreat her, and she continues to remain positive, determined to honour
her mother’s dying words and to “have courage and be kind.”
When
Ella meets a dashing stranger in the woods, unaware that he is really
the Prince (Richard Madden) and not merely Kit, an apprentice at the
palace, she believes she has finally found a kindred soul. It appears
her fortunes may be about to change when the King (Derek Jacobi) summons
all maidens in the kingdom to attend a royal ball at the palace,
raising Ella’s hopes of once again encountering the charming Kit. Alas,
her Stepmother forbids her to attend and callously destroys her dress.
The premiere will be playing in Winnipeg at Silver City St.Vital on March 11th, at 7pm. Want to check it out? I have 2 double passes (4 tickets) to give away to one lucky winner! Enter below.
