Mini Bio
Kennet Charles Branagh was born on December 10, 1960, in Belfast,
Northern Ireland, UK, to parents William Branagh, a plumber and carpenter, born
in 1930 and Frances (Harper) Branagh, also born in 1930. His brother, William
Branagh Jr. , was born in 1955 and sister, Joyce Branagh, was born in
1970. At 23, Branagh joined the Royal Shakespeare Company, where he took on
starring roles in “Henry V” and “Romeo and Juliet”. He soon found the RSC too
large and impersonal and formed his own, the Renaissance Theatre Company, which
now counts Prince Charle as one of its royal patrons. At 29, he directed and
starred in the film Henry V (1989), which costarred his then-wife, Emma Thompson.
The film brought him Best Actor and Best Director Oscar nominations. In 1993,
he brought Shakespeare to mainstream audiences again with his hit adaptation of
Much Ado
About Nothing (1993), which featured an all-start cast that included
Denzel Washington and Keanu Reeves. At 30, he published his autobiography
and, at 34, he directed and starred as “Victor Frankenstein” in the big-budget
adaption of Mary Shelley’s novel, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1994), with Robert De Niro as
the monster himself. The bad reviews may have had some effect on his marriage,
though, because, in 1996, Branagh wrote, directed and starred in a lavish adaption
of Hamlet (1996). In recent years, he starred in a series of non-Bard-related
roles in Celebrity
(1998), Wild
Wild West (1999), and as a voice in The Road to El Dorado (2000).
The Main Characters in
this film
Lily James as Cinderella.
In this film, the protagonist is a young woman named Ella
(shortened form of Eleanor) whose merchant father remarries following the
tragic death of her mother. Keen to support her loving father, Ella welcomes
her new stepmother, Lady Tremaine, and her daughters, Anastasia and Drisella,
into the family home. But when Ella's dear father suddenly and unexpectedly
goes on a trip to an unknown location and passes away in the process, she finds
herself at the mercy of the jealousy, ice-cold venom, abuse, and ridicule of
her new unloving stepfamily.
Eventually, Ella is relegated to nothing more than a servant
girl and spitefully renamed "Cinderella" for working in the cinders.
Ella could easily begin to lose hope. Yet, despite the cruelty inflicted upon
her, Ella is determined to honor her mother's dying words and to "have
courage and be kind." She will not give in to despair, nor despise those
who abuse her. Then, there is the dashing stranger whom she meets in the woods.
Unaware that he is really a prince and not merely an employee at the Palace,
Ella finally feels she has met a kindred spirit. It appears as if her fortunes
may be about to change when the Palace sends out an open invitation for all
maidens to attend a ball, thus raising Ella's hopes of a second encounter with
the charming "Kit." Alas, her vile stepmother, Tremaine, forbids her
from attending, and Ella's stepsisters proceed to callously rip apart her
dress. Crushed by their cruelty, Ella runs to the garden in tears and
encounters an old beggar woman who lends a helping hand by magically
transforming a pumpkin, mice, lizards and a goose into a carriage, horses,
footmen, and a coachman. She also transforms Ella's torn dress into a ball gown
with glass slippers, however, the woman warns Ella that the spell will only
last until midnight.

remake, portrayed by Richard Madden.
In this version of the original, animated classic, Prince
Charming is known as "Kit", and commonly engages in hunting parties
and fencing lessons. During one of his hunts, Kit encounters a girl by the name
of Ella. Though their meeting is brief, Kit almost immediately falls in love
with Ella, forming into a romantic obsession. Later on, he soon finds his
father, the King, is nearing death, and as a dying wish, the King asks that Kit
finds himself a bride at an upcoming ball. However, the law states that Kit can
only marry a princess, which Ella is not. Even so, the charming Prince manages
to convince his father to allow every eligible maiden to attend the ball, as
opposed to just royalty, which he accepts. At the ball, Ella returns, but
before names can be exchanged, the clock strikes twelve, and the beautiful
maiden departs.
Following these events, the King gives Kit permission to find
his true love, before dying, and a mission is ignited to find Ella, using the
glass slipper she left behind. In the mix, however, the Grand Duke plots to
sabotage Kit's relationship with Ella, with the assistance of Lady Tremaine.
Though the Duke tries to manipulate the Prince, Kit merely becomes even more
determined to find his love, and soon manages to do so. Before the Duke and
Lady Tremaine can be arrested for conspiracy, they flee the kingdom. In the end,
Kit and Ella are married, becoming king and queen, as well as the kingdom's
most beloved monarchs.

Queen, also known as

both of them. During the battle, she steps off to the side and lets her guards
do most of the attacking. After they are defeated by Alice and Cyrus, the Red
Queen steps forward and uses her magic to push Cyrus off the cliff. Unknown to
Alice, Jafar
is waiting below to catch Cyrus with a magic carpet.
When Alice returns to Wonderland, the Red Queen rides out in her coach to meet
the White Rabbit. She demands he come with her, and the two of them go to her
castle. Once inside, she asks the Rabbit if he has brought Alice. The Rabbit
affirms this to be true. In turn, the Queen orders him to continue to do her
bidding, or else he will be turned into furnishing. The rabbit slinks away as
the Queen smiles wickedly. Later, she encounters Jafar out on the balcony, and
informs him of Alice's arrival and how everything is going as they planned it.
Unexpectedly, Jafar begins to question the Queen’s usefulness and uses his
magic to begin to choke her. The Queen manages to gasp out that only she knows
where Alice is, and he should be wise to remember this. Jafar reluctantly stops
choking her, and she flashes him a triumphant smile, reminding him Wonderland
is her world, not Agrabah.
From the White Rabbit, the Red Queen learns the burial spot of
Cyrus' bottle an item both she and Jafar have been looking for.
As per her duties to the kingdom, Red Queen sits in the throne
room as petitioners bring attention to their plights. However, after a moment,
she expresses boredom at listening to their problems, which causes an uproar
from her subjects. Suddenly, the noise ceases as the petitioners are frozen in
place. The Red Queen gets up from her throne asking if Jafar is present. Jafar
appears and states he does not understand how she can take listening to people
all day. The Red Queen responds it's part of the job to juggle
responsibilities. He asks if she has made any progress with obtaining the
location of the bottle. Coyly, she gives an affirmative response, but has
doubts Jafar can do what he says he can do, which is bend the laws of magic. As
she attempts to walk away from him, Jafar freezes her in place, and coldly
asserts he is the one in charge, and the two of them are not involved in a
partnership. He removes the freezing spell only from her head and repeats his
question about the bottle's location. She manages to gasp out, though it is a
lie, that the bottle is now in Mimsy Meadows under the Tum Tum Tree. Nonetheless,
Jafar does not detect her lie. Believing to have received a proper answer, he
removes the spell from her body entirely. On his way out, he chides her to
devote more time to their plans. The Red Queen reasons she has responsibilities
as a ruler and in response, Jafar frees up her time by turning all her frozen
subjects in the room into piles of ash. turns all of her subjects in the room
into small piles of ash. Callously, he remarks that her schedule is cleared and
strolls out while the Red Queen looks on in horror.
Afterwards, she receives the White Rabbit as a visitor. She
questions him further on how he obtained knowledge on the bottle's true burial
site. In his recollections, the White Rabbit remembers stumbling on and
secretly watching Alice and Cyrus bury the bottle. To the Red Queen, he asks
for his freedom after doing everything she has requested. Instead, she gives a
strong rebuke and reminds him who is in charge.
Triumphantly, the Red Queen comes to find Jafar in his lair
interrogating Cyrus, only after he discovered the bottle's location to be
false, and admits to withholding the bottle's actual whereabouts as she is
tired of him holding all the cards in the deck. As she is now possession of the
bottle, the Red Queen turns the tables on Jafar and calls for a change in their
relationship; starting with her own promotion from lackey to equal. In the face
of Jafar's humiliation and fury, she leaves him to simmer.

The Purpose of the film
Good always win in the end despite how evil
has been planning and being a good person with a good heart will always get you
to what you want. The richer person with the higher statues is not the better
person or more beautiful one and in the end the poorer person will have the
better ending. Moreover, everybody will get their prince maybe not a
soutlandish is do not give up on our dreams. The moral was probably something
about hope and how if we are good person, our dreams will become a reality.
This is also about hope, faith, enduring goodness over selfishness, beauty over
ugliness it is a great fairytale. We need to help the other who need our hand,
being patient person is better, believe if nothing is impossible do everything
with love, do everything with hard working and full spirit. We also need to
believe if what our had been doing will be beauty in the beautiful time, don’t
treated the other, love the other creature, consistent with our choice, do not
easily despair.

Personal view about the Movie
In my opinion, never we have
feelings of extreme envy. We not usually correct in all things. Apart from
that, we also cannot as pleased to bully other people order all sorts of on
others to do all work. What we doing show internal personal character a person.
We should respect someone's personal rights. Usually anything bad thing that we
are doing to a usually will return in ourselves again. "What goes around
comes around". Our spoken language also need layered not until our words
can be hurtful someone's heart. Our conversation tone also not until there is
that take a thing to heart. Not everyone like to with our way entertaining an
individual. Knowing someone's kindness of heart first before we more senses
hurt with attitude and someone's treatment in ourselves.
