The Problem with Cinderella
I saw the new Cinderella movie. I was a huge fan of Angelina Jolie’s Maleficent, and had high hopes for this live-action take on another traditional princess story. It was fine. Good even. It took me a little while to figure out what it was that I felt was lacking. Then I figured it out. My problem is not with the traditional love story arc embedded into the “Cinderella” story. There are many reasons I like to believe in love at first sight. And the costumes made me swoon.
