  • ‘Cinderella’ 2021: What Makes It Different?

    ‘Cinderella’ 2021: What Makes It Different?

    Cinderella,’ the latest added edition to the live-action remake of the fairy tale classic, is finally released on Amazon Prime Video.


    Now, who isn’t familiar with this fairy tale? It’s possibly the most famous depiction of enduring the wickedness from stepmothers and stepsisters, having a fabulous fairy godmother, dancing the night away until midnight, losing a shoe, and getting her dashing prince?


    But, since there have been many remakes over the years, is the latest remake worth watching at all?


    Cinderella 2021 Has a Narrative Twist?

    Well, the ‘Cinderella’ 2021 offers a well-loved traditional setting. However, it also showcases a fresh narrative twist.


    How so? It’s an Amazon Prime Original and features several great voices from Minnie Driver, Idina Menzel, Nicolas Galitzine, Billy Porter, Camila Cabello, and Pierce Brosnan.


    A Genderless Fab Godmother


    Billy Porter plays the astounding role of Cinderella’s fairy godmother, or rather, the Fab Godmother. It is among the most significant changes from the previous versions.

    Cinderella Doesn’t Talk to the Mice.


    You must have remembered that in the original version and other remakes, Cinderella could communicate with her furry friends.


    The mice played a big part in helping her out with her troubles at home.


    But, in this edition, she doesn’t talk or can understand them. It’s only the audience who can hear and identify with the emotions or thoughts of the mice. These characters were voiced by notable British comedians James Acaster, James Corden, and Romesh Ranganathan.

    Not such an Evil Stepmother

    Idina Menzel plays Vivian’s evil stepmother, and she isn’t as evil as you’d think. Isn’t that something fresh?


    She rather represents a highly conservative parent and often dislikes any child’s progressive ideas.

    The Heroine Has Big Dreams

    Okay, not to disrespect Cinderella in the past, but the 2021 heroine, Camila Cabello, has big, big dreams.


    She doesn’t settle to be saved by someone else but is determined to make her dreams come true.

    Well, should you watch it?


    Although there were mixed opinions about the Amazon Prime Original from viewers, the film was engaging, interesting, and a lot of fun to watch.


    Why don’t you see it now for yourself and let us know what you think?

  • Why ‘Voice 4’ K Drama Different from the Previous Season

    Why ‘Voice 4’ K Drama Different from the Previous Season

    Why Voice 4 differs immensely from the previous drama seasons and why it should be on your “must-watch” list.

    Voice 4 Poster

    Voice 4

    As you would have known, if you did watch the previous seasons, the story centers on emergency call centers with its employees fighting criminals by using limited information that they have received.

    Here, you’ll meet Lee Ha Na, who’ll play the role of Kang Kwon Joo. She is the ace and famous genius voice profiler.

    Song Seung Heon plays the character of Derek Jo. He is an LAPD police officer who’s connected with the “Golden Time Team.” The group’s goal is to take down the “Circus Man,” the villain.

    Why it differs from former seasons? 

    Director Shin Yong Hwi gave the three points that explicitly magnify Voice 4 from former shows in the “Voice” series. 

    • Warm comfort for the victims

    Director Shin Yong Hwi shared in a press conference that in season 4, they focused more on restoring the trust and healing among the families broken by the tragedies.

    He further added that it isn’t only about getting the bad guys. But it is giving importance to the victims and emphasizing comfort and empathy.

    “What makes it different from previous seasons is that it doesn’t stop at catching criminals but offers victims warm comfort and emphasizes the restoration of family relationships.”

    Intense Thrill and Tension 

    The thrill and tension are amplified in Voice 4. Director Shin Yong Hwi promises that the featured villain can outdo the last three serial killers in the series. Why?

    The director gave a little background about the “Circus Man,” who comes from a broken family. He uses his extraordinary hearing capabilities to commit the crimes instead of saving the people, which Kang Kwon Joo’s character does.

     “The villain in season four is powerful too. As this season has a societal foundation and focuses on broken families, the villain is also a by-product of a broken family.”

    The director also shares the concept of emphasizing the visualization of Kang Kwon Joo’s hearing, giving the audience a real-life glimpse of what she is hearing and feeling in the drama as she tries to rescue people.

    Find out more from the cast from their recent press conference.

    “Voice 4” has already premiered last June 18. Watch the trailer here and catch up today!
