Viewing Blog Set # 2

Ever After was just like Cinderella but it was a bit different. I really like how in the beginning it starts off by telling us the actual true fairy tale. She did not want the tale written from rumors so she told it herself. Instead of her name being Cinderella, it was Danielle. Just like ever other Cinderella story, her mother dies and her father brings another woman who has two other daughters. Her father ends up dying also and she was left with her evil stepmother. In this movie the stepmother didn’t really seem as evil as the original does. I mean she was evil but when she talked to Danielle she made it seemed like she was nice when she wasn’t. Danielle was part of their servants. Also, Instead of both the stepsisters being evil, one of them was actually nice. Now Danielle didn’t need anyone to save her, not even a man. She saved herself every time she was in trouble. Fairy tales tend to make it seem like females don’t know how to save themselves and that they also need a man to be saved. She even ends up saving him from a group of gypsy.  She also pretends to not be a servant but he ends up finding out the truth from someone else but that doesn’t stop him from going back to her. They live happily ever after just like any other fairy tale we all know.



The season begins with two siblings who have lost both of their parents in a car crash and they are left with their aunt Jenna. This series is all about vampires, werewolves, and doppelgangers. Elena ends up dating a vampire named Stefan Salvatore. Her best friend Bonnie ends up finding out that she comes from a line of witches. Elena is a doppelganger from another named Katherine Pierce. Stefan and Elena have come from a line of doppelgangers and they always manage to find each other every time.  They literally have people who look exactly like one another from 10,000 years ago and end up being together. It seems to me that they have always been meant to be. There is a plot twist; Stefan has a brother named Damon who has always came between Elena and Stefan in the past. Basically history is repeating itself over and over again. Like every other vampire story, there is a group of people in town plotting against them called The Council. They have a certain device that kind of controls vampires but then they find out that it controls all supernatural creatures. Elena finds out that her parents were actually her aunt and uncle. Her other best friend Caroline ends up getting into a car accident. Katherine ends up killing Elena’s real dad and her brother takes many pills to overdose. I wonder what will happen next, to me it sounds like everyone Elena loves is dying and leaving her alone.


The film starts by talking about the history of the twenty rings. That existed to three for elves, seven for dwarves, nine for men, and one made by the Dark Lord Sauron, in Mordor, which would rule all the others. Sauron wanted to use the ring in a evil way so the elves ended up fighting against the Dark lord.. They won the battle and the ring fell to Isildur, but just as he was about to destroy the ring in, he changed his mind and held on to it for himself. Later on he was killed, and the ring fell to the bottom of the sea. The creature Gollum discovered it and brought it to his cave. Then he lost it to the hobbit Bilbo Baggins. Now it fast forwards to the hobbit’s home where it is Bilbo’s 111th birthday. Bilbo does a speech and ends up putting on the ring that makes him disappear and fakes his death. He leaves the ring to his nephew Frodo. Gandalf ends up telling Frodo all about this ring and how it belongs to Sauron. Everyone ends up fighting for this ring to have the power of it. Sauron is also looking to get his ring back. This was such a perfect example of a fairy tale.
