I agree, it was such an emotional, powerful moment. One of the scenes that made the film for me! It seems like all the other Cinderella stories have some bitterness or revenge. So yeah, that was memorable for sure!!<br /><br />Cinderella definitely was one of those characters. I loved how she was portrayed so much! I get tired of the hard, bitter young women. She was fresh and strong, gentle and beautiful! Forgiveness like that is an awesome theme, especially in the movies these days! I was surprised and thrilled! :-)<br /><br />Thanks for commenting! So good to hear your thoughts, :-) Blessings!Shantelle Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671416965777525382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469039199145284278.post-3176637595188617992015-03-21T16:20:45.793-07:002015-03-21T16:20:45.793-07:00Hi Shantelle:) I went to watch this movie with tw...Hi Shantelle:) I went to watch this movie with two of your good friends here in Washington. We all enjoyed it very much:) The scene that stood out the most to me was at the end of the movie. Cinderella was leaving the house with the prince when she saw her stepmother on the stairs. She stopped awhile and looked at her while considering her choices. Then she sincerely and kindly told her, "I forgive you." Wow! She chose the hardest path... forgiveness! Her parents had taught her wisely when they encouraged her to "always have courage and be kind." Cinderella went even beyond that when she forgave here stepmother. She didn't excuse her evil behavior and the stepmother and her daughters did have consequences, but Cinderella forgave them. In my opinion, movies should teach good, strong, moral character or they are not worth two cents! This one had much good character in it:) Marla Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469039199145284278.post-2678871964311491952015-03-16T14:29:35.138-07:002015-03-16T14:29:35.138-07:00Thanks, Rissi!

So much awesomeness in this film and I agree with all your remarks about the dress, the prince and Ella, and the dancing. That scene was... oh-so beautiful! The dress, I kind of want too.

I am SO glad you saw and liked this, or I take it you did given the five stars and the first sentence: <i>I could just swoon. *Big grin* This movie brought on all the fluttery feelings and happy sighs that a really good fairytale romance does!</i>. :)<br /><br />I'm not reading your thoughts just now because I'm seeing it tomorrow and will then be writing a review for a contributing gig, and I don't want to subconsciously take others review opinions into my review. But, after I get that written, I am so coming back to read your thoughts! :)Rissihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11378400717440822186noreply@blogger.com
