1950 Original Cinderella Disney Movie

This original Walt Disney movie brief summary, what to like about it, and what to not like about the movie.
 Brief Summary 

Cinderella is a Disney movie is all about a young woman who lives with her evil stepmother and step sisters. They basically make her their slave and the mom and sisters get to be lazy and live their best lives. 

The family gets too mooch off of Cinderella's fathers money. One night she meets a fairy godmother and she provides her a beautiful ballgown and glass heels. 

Cinderella dances with this prince and they fall in love with each other at first sight. She then leaves and the prince is devastated so then he searches her and eventually he does and they live happily ever after. 

What To Like About Cinderella 

This movie does help the main character to be disciplined and to not be about boys but to focus on housework and her future. Although she did not get along with her family she still was kind and did not say anything bad about them. 

Cinderella goes to the ball to have a fun time and did not have the goal to meet the prince. She just wanted a night out where she could have a good time and socialize with others. 

She has empathy for small animals and bonds with them. This young woman is kind to older women and does not judge them either. She treats people with respect. 

What To Not Like About This Movie

Cinderella is too nice to people and naïve. She does not stand up to her step mother and step sisters. This young woman does not set up boundaries with them 

She does not communicate her feelings with others and I think she should have stayed with the prince even when the clock struck past 1:00am. This ways she can know if the prince would still want to be with her even if she was and looked poor. 

This young woman wanted the prince to sweep her off her feet and live off of the prince forever. She wanted to be set up for life just like her step mother and her step sisters.

Bad Boys in the 1950s

These type of men/teens were the most idolized people in the 1950's along with some celebrities.  One celebrity in particular that had the bad boy style and his name was James Dean.  This type of outfit melted the girls/women's hearts at the time. Males would wear a leather or denim jackets, white or patter button up top underneath, blue or light jeans, either a quiff hair or leave it natural with some gel in it.  I think of the outfits that Johnny Depp would wear in his Crybaby movie with his slicked back hair, leather jacket, and a rebellious but hot vibe.  Today we label these type of people as bad boys but back in the 1950's they were called the greasers and apart of the greaser subculture.  Looking back at these photos you never saw older men wearing this style, it was mostly teenagers and young adults.  Those who dressed this way were definitely very popular in high school. Let's also not forget they added a cigarettes to compliment the look. If any o...

The Story of Hilliard Brooks Jr's Murder

In 1950 on August 13, a 22-year old man named Hilliard Brooks Jr. was murdered on a bus after he was accused of making a disturbance.  Back in these days what was the disturbance, was he talking back because he had to stick up for himself or was it because he was protecting someone else?  Some reports were very unjust and plain unfair in my opinion.  The reason he was accused of this was because be refused to leave and enter from the rear bus as Jim Crow wanted him to.  This bus driver called the police and a white officer shot this black man and wounded two people in the process.  All because Jim Crow and the bus driver were trying to be big bosses and choose violence when they woke up that day.  Brooks left behind a pregnant wife and several young children. Even though many eye witnesses reported that the shooting was unnecessary, the officer faced no charges.  After this many people were outraged over how this all went down and set the stage for the...

Blue and Red Word Search Book

This is an awesome booklet for those who love the 50’s! It has many pages to keep your brain busy by searching for words with just your eyes. I noticed that is has yellow wording and an arrow indicating to open the book. The front page has labeled the 1950’s on it and the author has made sure to put their name on it. At the top right corner of the red/yellow square you see a star shape. My sister loves to do crossword puzzles and she has a collection of them in her closet. It reminds me of seeing her use them at her doctor’s visits.
