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.

Women were Disowned for Having Children Out of Wedlock

  Many women during the 1950’s gave up their children for adoption and it was mostly because of babies being born out of wedlock. Within this time ladies who got pregnant out of wedlock were shamed and disowned by their friends and families. They were considered a disgrace to the family to have a child before marriage. During this era, it was widely judged. Which I can understand why they would be disowned because they could not wait until marriage but on the other hand it happens sometimes. Many women gave up their babies up for adoption had the right to refuse to disclose the identity of the father. Lots of the ladies did choose to tell people who the father was but it was more common that the women refused to tell. Social workers at the time respected these women’s decisions about this situation. I personally have mixed emotions about this topic. I do not think that people should be ashamed for having children out of wedlock but still should be widely influenced to...

The Ugly Topics in the 1950's

Coming up on number one is Nylon stockings with the seams up the back and the girdle or garter belt that one needed to wear hose.  Movies and television shows were in black and white. No options for color back in the 50's until the later years.  White gloves were often required and no trousers were to be seen in public. If you were naked out in the streets you would be disowned.  Popular hairstyles of this era were a ponytail or one like the actress Lucille Ball.  Lots of women wore their hair up and this gave them the appearance to look older.  Girls and ladies wore aprons for many of the household chores and it looked unfashionable. Schools were segregated in the 1950's and it was very common that children did not finish highschool.  Kids back in this era had stricter rules and grew up way quicker than many children today.  People had to wear modest clothing and always look presentable.  Racism was a thing back in the 50's and you did not see mu...
