Cinderella (1950)
This. This moment is the most important in the movie. This is when the Prince falls for her - he was infatuated before but he clearly thought that the reason Cinderella was around him was because he was the Prince, but when he discovered she has no clue, he realised that she stayed and talked and spent the whole night with him because she likes who he was as a person - not his title. Not only that but he liked her; we don’t know what they talked about, but we can imagine it must have been interesting and nice to last a whole night so we know she just have said something that made him want to stay around her too. That’s why he wanted to find her, not cause she was pretty (I mean the guy couldn’t even remember her face and went off a shoe for God’s sake - which gives me a theory that the Prince has Prosopagnosia AKA face blindness) but because she liked him not his title, and he liked whoever she was, rich or poor.
The prince has face blindness and dumbass disease ok? He’s trying his best!
Honestly, I do wish that more fictional characters had face blindness. It makes for great comedy and drama, the two basic building blocks of storytelling.
HE HE
He doesn’t have face blindness, he just doesn’t go look for her himself, and likely because his father forbade it after his shenanigans at the ball. It’s the Archduke that is tasked with finding the girl that fits the slipper.
