'Crocstar' of the stock markets: Crocs stock up over 750% in five years

Whether inclusion and modernization of legends and fairytales—an all-Black ‘Anne Boleyn’ was a bouncer that landed right—is fad, is moot. When the news of Billy Porter and <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/shawn-mendes-pens-appreciation-post-for-camila-cabello-for-her-work-in-cinderella-410367">Camila Cabello</a> (a Hispanic belle) starring in Kay Cannon’s (Pitch Perfect franchise) latest rendition of Cinderella broke (and there have been many, across genres), we knew we were in for a surprise. And surprise it is! Perhaps it is the fact that we are seeing this 21st century musical retelling of the tale through the eyes of a woman, or the current setting demanded one, that we get to witness the protagonist (and not a heroine) shedding light on patriarchal hangover. And smashing it hard against the wall: one empowering song, sequence at a time.

In the opening shot itself, we are ushered into the world of a mouthy, headstrong Cinderella working her nights away trying to be a dressmaker. Soon after, the whole charade—Cannon, quietly aptly, keeps the key components of the story intact—ensues, and even before the film clocks interval, we are introduced to a laid-back, adventure-seeking Prince Robert (Nicholas Galitzine).Taking a major deviation from the beat-up route, it is Princess Gwen (Tallulah Greive) now who is a fitting succession to King Rowan’s crown (played by the marvelous Pierce Brosnan). But, Lord forbid, a woman takes the Royal line ahead!

Tactfully, Cannon juxtaposes traditional values against liberal ways of the modern world without making her social commentary an overbearing watch for her viewers. Of course, Camila Cabello being a singer made of fine fabric elevates the musical aspect of ‘Cinderella’—our personal favourites; ‘Am I Wrong?’, ‘Million To One’—and the usage of urban lingo (‘dude!’, ‘poppin’’ and ‘cray’, among many others) serves as an undertone to the overall feel of the narrative: young, bold and ground-breaking in its own right.
