Cruella (2021)

They say there are five stages of grief: Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Well, I'd like to add one more... revenge." - Cruella


Disney's take on the movie "Cruella" features crime-comedy drama film based directed by Craig Gillespie which was released (in theaters) on May 28, 2021. The live-action adaptation of Walt Disney, "Cruella" is based from the novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians by Dodie Smith which comes as the third live-action adaptation and is a rendition of the said movie origin's title character. Emma Stone, the Academy Award winner from the movie La La Land, is the titular protagonist who plays as Estella / Cruella in the movie.




The movie circles on a tame revenge story which encapsulate the dark past of the "dog-napping" villain from Disney's 1961 classic which is the 101 Dalmatians. Disney's new surprisingly realistic Cruella changes the infamous capricious, style fixated heiress who wishes to utilize the skins of 99 Dalmatian pups to make a spotted fur garment—into an ambitious style creator who is headed to accept darkness and a life of crime.



The movie starts in London which follows the path of a clever and creative young grifter named Estella, who is destined to navigate the truth about her life and to have her rightful desires to take revenge and to punish who is accountable for her life's misery.



The first part of the movie tends to express or angled on a more fresh or sweet start than a harsh ones. The protagonist starts on graphing her journey from birth to grade school and to a germinated criminal career.


Her luck turns after she become an apprentice to London's most popular or in-demand fashion designer, Baroness von Hellman (Emma Thompson). In any case, exactly when it appears to be Estella's fantasies are going to work out as expected, she's gone up against by her lamentable past which comes as the enthralling part of the story.


The movie is bold in fashion which is also the greatest element in the movie other than the movie itself. The story takes us to a roller coaster ride of emotions. The author gives its audience a great appositely wicked movie and gives us a great origin of the villain's backstory which the movie tries to explain or conveyed Cruella's (Emma Stone) evil actions, in such a way that viewers will feel empathy for her. It is the most recent variation of female antagonists which Disney's work in giving them a history — and broadening them a level of compassion.


The movie entails a deep elucidation that is encircled to the tribulations in life. It shows that Estella also known as Cruella has her characteristics of not giving up until she fulfills success which tells us that it is not about the failure that counts, it is your perseverance, dedication, commitment and on how many times you stand back up to rewrite your paths to achieve success in life.
