I agree with Mickey’s thoughts on the movie Ever After. The plot is exactly how she told it. “Ever After” is about how an eight year old Danielle de Barbarac daughter of a wealthy widower and landowner. After her father returns home from France with his new wife Rodmilla and her two daughters, one who is really nice but the other one really evil. All of a sudden Danielle’s father dies and she becomes the servant for her stepmother and her step sisters. Even though this all happened she still became a happy and strong willed young lady. One day when she was picking apples she see’s a strange man attempting to steal her father’s horse. She hits the man right in the forhead and he falls off the horse. Soon then, she realizes the man is Prince Henry. Later, Danielle decides to use her mothers name, Contesse Nicole de Lancret to save one of her servants. After interuppting and telling the man to release her servant and talking to Danielle for awhile, the prince takes a special interest in her. Then the King and Queen of France give there son a choice to either he announces that he his getting engaged to a woman that he chooses or he has to marry the Princess of Spain. When he thinks of Danielle Henry agrees. The evening of the ball, her stepmother figures out the interests between Henry and Danielle and locks her in a room for punishment. Leonardo da Vinci free’s her and the manor’s servant gives her the dress and slippers, that they had hid. That night everything changes and her life becomes different. This film is filled with joy, happiness, intense moments and overall a great movie! Other critics agree that this movie is very good because James Berardinell says in his critic that he was prepared for the worst but then everything became better all at once. I agree with this because I felt the same way when watching the movie. I also agree with Mickey because she said that it’s a fairytale, and you learn that you have to follow your heart. Overall I think this is a great movie to watch!
