Ever After: "Wings" by Di Vinci!!!!

Bonjour! Bienvenue à Renaissance France! (That means welcome to renaissance France in French!) (Also, no one speaks French in this movie except for "monsieur" and "madame"). We are discussing Ever After, a beautiful movie that flips the script on the classic fairytale trope way before its time. Danielle (or Daniella?) is a woman who don't need no man, and is more than willing to save the pouty prince in his castle. We get Leonardo di Vinci and his boat shoes playing the role of the fairy godmother, while the Baroness de Ghent (Anjelica Huston) SLAAAAYS as the evil step-mother. (I have been coaching Erin on Drag Queen terms) (Yeah, right!) We talk about so much from Henry XIII's divorces, Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel, to the anti-Pope and the Byzantine Empire (it was still the Roman Empire). We don't know how else to say it; we love this movie and every message it brings with it. Women are smart and powerful, the men need to stop moping and get to work, and we really want that painting of Drew Barrymore because it is actually a work of art.
