On February 13, a new film, "#Unreal Love", starts at the box office. Based on a script by the famous writer Oksana Robski, it tells us the story of a meeting between two classmates. One (performed by Ravshana Kurkova) is successful and well-off. The second (Marina Aleksandrova) is a modest and simple teacher. Both are looking for happiness in their personal lives.

For happiness, they go not just anywhere, but to Sochi, to a gathering of businessmen and oligarchs. However, before that, a glamorous friend polishes her former classmate so that she looks appropriate in the circle of the rich. Well, and then, of course, love and princes await them (not on horseback, of course - more modern ones - on skis, snowboards and luxury cars). In general, the cinema in a new way repeats one of the most popular stories - about Cinderella.

This fairy tale itself was filmed more than once, and they also used the formula for success of a modest, hardworking girl who became a princess, too. We decided to recall the best Cinderella films that can be reviewed following the new Russian premiere.

My Fair Lady

At the ball, the girl battles everyone, making them confident that in front of them is a person of high blood.

The film based on the play by George Bernard Shaw is a classic of cinematography. In the story, professor-linguist Higgins makes a bet with his friend Colonel that he will turn the street vendor, uneducated grubby Eliza Dullittle, into a real lady. Eliza begins to teach competent speech, the rules of etiquette, and, of course, they wash and change their clothes. At the ball, the girl battles everyone, making them confident that in front of them is a person of noble blood. And then at the same time he wins the heart of his teacher. The role of "Cinderella" was brilliantly performed by Audrey Hepburn.

The retelling of "Cinderella" in a modern way directed by Garry Marshall has become truly iconic. In the nineties, Cinderella is not just an unhappy hard worker, she is forced to earn money on the panel. And then one day she helps a lost millionaire find his way to the hotel. And then he helps a second time - he needs a girlfriend to go to business events. He spends crazy money on her new, more decent outfits, spends all the time with her.

How to Become a Princess

The Queen of Genovia herself, she is Mia's grandmother, performed by Julie Andrews, takes on the transformation of a schoolgirl into a beautiful princess.

Another painting by Garry Marshall, and again with a story about Cinderella. But the main role is already a new star (or rather, she became such after the release of the tape) - Anne Hathaway. She was even dubbed the second Julia Roberts at first. Ann played a schoolgirl named Mia. She does not pay attention to her appearance, preferring to go headlong into her studies. She is teased by her classmates and doesn't have too many friends. But one day it turns out that Mia is the heir to the throne of the small state of Genovia. Queen Genovia herself, she is Mia's grandmother, performed by Julie Andrews, takes on the transformation of a schoolgirl into a beautiful princess.

Mistress maid

The heroine of this film is the maid of a five-star hotel in Manhattan, Marisa, played by Jennifer Lopez. Once, while cleaning the room, she could not resist the temptation to try on the luxurious coat of the hostess of the apartment. And at that moment a hotel guest knocked on the door - five minutes before the senator and, of course, a handsome man named Christopher Marshall (played by Ralph Fiennes). Deciding that the lady of his circle is in front of him, Christopher invites her to a walk together, and then to the ball. Falling in love, Marisa does not immediately dare to tell him the truth.

Do not be born beautiful

While all the glamorous leadership chuckles at her, Katya manages to fall in love with her boss, and then make a career.

Probably, in Russia, Cinderella is not the best role model. Because in our cinema there are not so many examples of such a story. But one of the brightest is the series “Don't Be Born Beautiful”. Smart, but not too beautiful, and besides, a very old-fashioned girl Katya Pushkareva, by the will of fate, gets a job in a company that deals specifically with fashion. While all the glamorous leadership laughs at her, Katya manages to fall in love with her boss, and then make a career on her own. True, she will still have to bring herself to the appropriate form. But then the prince will surely bite. The main roles in the series were played by Nelly Uvarova, Grigory Antipenko, Petr Krasilov, Maria Mironova and many others.
