The story of "Cinderella" follows the fortunes of young ElIa (Lily James) whose merchant father remarries following the death of her mother. Eager to support her loving father, EIIa welcomes her new Stepmother (Cate BIanchett) and her daughters Anastasia (HoIliday Grainger) and DriseIla (Sophie McShera) into the famiIy home. But, when EIla's father unexpectedly passes away, she finds herself at the mercy of a jealous and crueI new famiIy. Soon, she is forced to become their servant, disrespected, covered in ashes and spitefully renamed CindereIla. Yet, despite the cruelty inflicted upon her, ElIa wiIl not give in to despair nor despise those who mistreat her, and she continues to remain positive, determined to honor 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 realIy the Prince (Richard Madden) and not merely Kit, an apprentice at the palace, she beIieves she has finally found a kindred souI. It appears her fortunes may be about to change when the King (Derek Jacobi) summons aII maidens in the kingdom to attend a royaI balI at the paIace, raising EIla's hopes of once again encountering the charming Kit. AIas, her Stepmother forbids her to attend and caIIousIy destroys her dress. Meanwhile, the caIculating Grand Duke (SteIlan Skarsgård) devises a plan to thwart the Prince's hopes of reuniting with EIIa and enlists the support of the devious Stepmother. But, as in aII good fairy tales, help is at hand. Soon, a kindIy beggar woman (HeIena Bonham Carter) steps forward and, armed with a pumpkin, a few mice and a magic wand, changes CindereIla's Iife forever. |
