The film, The Road Home has many similarities to Disney's Cinderella. These similarities mainly exist between the main characters in the films, Zhao Di and Cinderella. The similarities also exist in their love stories. In the story of Cinderella, Cinderella is a young girl who works as a house maid for her evil stepmother and stepsisters. Because she is the house maid, she is not allowed to go the ball and possibly see Prince Charming. Her animal friends make a dress for her, but her stepsisters destroy it. Cinderella's fairy godmother appears, gives her a beautiful gown, and turns a pumpkin into a carriage, so Cinderella can go to the ball. But, the magical spell wore off at midnight. At the ball, Cinderella danced with the prince. She left the ball at midnight, and lost her glass slipper. Prince Charming searched to find the perfect fit for the shoe, and the shoe fit Cinderella. Prince Charming and Cinderella got married after that, and everyone celebrated.
This is an excellent pairing! You already have some good analysis of the movie's references to the fairy tale. Mimi
