Historical Inaccuracies And Accuracy Of The Movie, Ever After
Movies often contain historical inaccuracies regarding timing of events, food during a specific time period, and famous people. The movie, Ever After, was mostly accurate when they showed the Prince playing tennis. They played in an enclosed court, but it is debatable whether tennis players used a glove or a racquet. The movie showed Leonardo putting the Mona Lisa into a tube, this could not have happened because it was originally painted on wood. When Rodmilla told Prince Henry that Danielle was to marry a Belgian, it was a lie. Belgium didn’t exist until 1830. Danielle’s statement that her stepmother spends money on her stepsister like she has “money to burn” is not accurate, because paper money was not available. Money would have been made
