Ever After, a movie that is based on the 16th century, does it really connect to the Renaissance? This movie is not a reliable source to use if you are looking to learn about the Renaissance; because this movie takes place in France, Leonardo da Vinci’s timing in the movie was off, and the time frames of the movie were incorrect. This movie is full of false information. The writers of this movie were showing people, (who do not know anything about the renaissance) that it was all fun and games to live in France, in the 16th century.

In the Renaissance: everyone who lived France would speak French (or at least have a French accent.) The only reason you may not have a French accent or French background, would be because you immigrated along the Silk Road to France. In this movie the characters spoke in an English accent, not a French accent that just goes to show that the writers of this screenplay did not pay a lot of attention to the way their actors spoke.

The monarchy, like Prince Henry, would have very little communication with the lower class of status, unless they had their own serf.

The Game rock, paper, scissors was played in the motion picture multiple times. The games origin is 17th century Renaissance, which is about 100 years after the Renaissance. If somehow the game made its way to the Renaissance before the 17th century, it would have traveled along the Silk Road.

The Renaissance was a very hard time for very many people, and this film gave no examples of those times. For these reasons Ever After is not the best way to educate yourself on the Renaissance or the times related to the
