Ella enchanted monologue movie#
Levine stated that the film is "so different from the book that it's hard to compare them," noting the addition of new characters such as Sir Edgar and Heston, and suggested "regarding the movie as a separate creative act". The film received mostly mixed reviews, and was heavily criticized for its changes to the source material. It was directed by Tommy O'Haver and starred Anne Hathaway and Hugh Dancy as Ella and Prince Charmont, respectively. On April 9, 2004, a movie that is loosely based on the novel was released. In 2018, Levine published Ogre Enchanted, a prequel to Ella Enchanted. In 2006, Levine went on to write Fairest, a retelling of the story of Snow White, set in the same world as Ella Enchanted. The story is a retelling of Cinderella featuring various mythical creatures including fairies, elves, ogres, gnomes, and giants. So let's not move at a glacial pace, and begin the countdown.Print (Hardcover, Paperback) and AudiobookĮlla Enchanted is a Newbery Honor book written by Gail Carson Levine and published in 1997. So unfortunately, Meryl Streep’s iconic cerulean speech in The Devil Wears Prada does not factor into this ranking, but thankfully neither does Russell Crowe’s warbling in Les Misérables. Also, it should be noted that this ranking is based solely on her performances and NOT the movies as a whole. In honor of Anne Hathaway’s illustrious career, and the arrival of her latest wig-wearing performance in the 1980s coming-of-age film Armageddon Time, I have decided to rank her performances on both film and TV.Ĭameos and voiceover roles are included, but her appearances in documentaries and as herself are not. Seriously, Broadway producers, get this woman on stage STAT. And if she doesn’t EGOT, I’ll eat that flip-flop from The Princess Diaries beach shack scene. She's watched Zendaya dance while wearing Bulgari jewelry.
She has licked a rhinestoned sledge hammer. Anne refuses to be boxed in, and she’s not afraid to get really weird (I’m looking at you, Serenity). Sure, she can weep in a high-end, prestige drama, but she’s also serving gut-busting comedy in rom-coms, spandex-assassin realness in action films, full-range, heaven-sent, sonic pipes in musicals, and award-winning, disembodied voice humor in animated movies. But more important than me having an Anne Hathaway-themed birthday party (to prove my straightness, of course), is that she is one of the most versatile performers gracing our screens today. Not only is she an Academy Award and Golden Globe-winning actor, but she is a campy, accent-loving queen AND she was my "crush" in high school when I was still in the closet. Dearly beloved, we have gathered here today to celebrate the incomparable brilliance of Anne Jacqueline Hathaway ( or Annie to close friends).
