The dots never go out? In Disney's punk "Cruella" we meet a sympathetic version of the supervillain Cruella de Vil - but the result is unfortunately not completely spotless. https://centervagt.wildapricot.org/10575712
Whether it's the adorable cartoon versions or the more realistic variations, the Dalmatians Pongo, Perdita, and their 101 puppies are for most of us a part of our childhood. In the children's films, the cute puppies are nastyly stolen by the unpleasant diva Cruella - a dramatic lady in black and white hair, who can, uh, walk over corpses to get her claws in her long-awaited fur. https://retfaerdighedens-ryttere.wildapricot.org/news/10575834

In the 2021 "Cruella", we start again from the beginning and meet a young Estella (Emma Stone), miles from the terrifying Cruella we feel today. Estella has hopes and dreams of becoming a fashion designer, but life takes its toll and in a tragic accident involving her own mother, both fear and disgust for Dalmatian dogs arise. As a troubled teenager, she ends up on the streets among London's shady neighborhoods. https://wptest.candle.com.tw/community/profile/conanfilm2021/

Together with newcomer companions Jasper (Joel Fry) and Horace (Paul Water Hauser), the petty thieves make the streets unsafe - until Estella encounters the biggest boss of them all, the Baroness (Emma Thompson). Estella now has to weigh how much of herself is the everyday and friendly Estella, and how much is now taken up by her more theatrical persona - Cruella. https://oldpelicula2021.wildapricot.org/pelicula/10576619

In the footsteps of the acclaimed "Joker" (2019), "Birds of Prey" (2020), and the upcoming TV series "Loki" (2021), it is thus villain stories that are highly topical on the wallpaper.  https://pakleneulice9.wildapricot.org/ Nobody wants to see a hell hero save the cat from the tree, we rather want to see how the torn cat ended up there from the very beginning. "Cruella" wants to be challenging and extravagant, but the film comes to itself that it is ultimately part of a family-oriented Disney world.

Cruella is a difficult figure to deal with, you have to give it to them anyway. A lot of other famous villains, for example Cinderella's "Maleficent" (2014) gave us a anything but light-hearted background story that made the fairy tales' division into black or white blurred at the edges. But Cruella, how do you instill sympathy in such a hated character - the one who literally made fur coats out of dogs?

The soundtrack to "Cruella" is awesome with The Clash, Blondie, and The Doors. There are cool costumes, glamorous balls, and the vicious fashion and clothing-filled scenes of the dynamics of "The Devil Wears Prada" (2006). But with a superficial theme, unfortunately, also comes a superficial result, as the desire to get a time-typical depth in Emma Stone's villain is spun away in the eagerness to make the film both dramatic and furiously elegant. https://steemit.com/denmark/@dk-sv-no-fi/synopsis-cruella-og-hvordan-man-ser-online-med-tekst-dansk

"Cruella" is definitely a cool film, where both Emma Thompson and Emma Stone make spotless contributions as their respective fashion stars. As the film is supposed to be edgy and a relatively dark story, I strongly miss the humorous touch that Glenn Close added in his role as live-action Cruella in "101 Dalmatians" (1996). The rest of the film is too long, too annoying - all the gala events will soon be tiring to watch - and not as innovative as I had imagined. "Cruella" does not deserve all the barking, but it would clearly have offered more nostalgia and less superficiality.
