Cinderella

 My favorite part of Cinderella is right after the fairy Godmother magically suits her with a new dress. Listen to the strings. It speaks of witchcraft and magic. It's saying, 'by the power of magic, I have materialized your wish'. Even the fairy Godmother sings "you can do you magic, believe it or not". It's a chilling sound, almost ominous.  But the real reason I love the scene is because Cinderella is so darn grateful. Even after the Fairy Godmother told her that after midnight the spell would be broken, Cinderella turns and says "It's more than I've ever dreamed of".  That scene makes me cry. Im moved and touched by her gratitude. She knows it's fake. None of it's real. But it IS real for a night. And she's so proud; she's so grateful for just one night of magic. It really is  more than she's e ver dreamed of". I believe she deserved it not just because she suffers but because she suffers and is still grateful wit...
