After watching the beginning of the movie in class today, I realized that there are many similarities between Ever After and the Cinderella fairy tales that we have been studying. But what I noticed is, even with the typical Cinderella, this story seems to be for an older audience than maybe some other Cinderella tales.
First, the death of her father is shown. That was pretty intense for a fairy tale. I wasn't expecting them to show that, and that would be something that I would not want my little children to see.
Also, the language and accents seems rather advanced for school aged children. I guess it all depends on the family. I remember when I was a little kid I had difficulty understanding people with accents. Maybe because of television now and all the different kinds of people there are it is not so difficult anymore.
I'm enjoying watching Ever After in class. This is the first time for me to see it, so I look forward to class on Monday.
