Title
Cruella

Cruella" tells the story of the birth of Cruella de Vil, the villain from the Disney classic "101 Doggies. Growing up as an orphan, she is a talented but quirky designer. She is determined to make a name for herself in the fashion industry in order to have her talents recognized.

Cruella vs Estella (view spoiler)

In the end, Cruella chooses to let Estella die (sealed in the back of her mind) and live as Cruella. Cruella's psycho personality was inherited from her mother Bona. And Estella was able to remain good to the end.

Comparison with "Better Call Saul"

Better Call Saul is a spin-off of Breaking Bad and tells the story of Jimmy McGill, the lawyer of Breaking Bad's protagonist, Walter White. Jimmy McGill was a sly character, but not a completely bad one. He becomes a lawyer as Soul Goodman. Soul Goodman is a character that seems to emphasize his bad side. Finally, he reverts back to Jimmy McGill and Saul Goodman is gone.

Comparison with "The Joker"

The 2019 movie "The Joker" tells the story of a man rejected by society who takes revenge on society as the Joker. Cruella is also similar to the Joker. However, there are clear differences between the Joker and Cruella. The Joker does not take revenge on only one person like Cruella, but on the society and environment that rejected him.

Comparison with "The Devil Wears Prada

The Devil Wears Prada is a 2006 film that, like Cruella, is set in the fashion industry. However, there are differences between The Devil Wears Prada and Cruella. In The Devil Wears Prada, Miranda, her boss, is portrayed as a high-flying but actually nice person. But in Cruella, her boss, Baroness, is portrayed as a complete villain.

What caught my attention.

It bothered me a little that Baroness's employees don't notice her, despite the fact that she and her associates have repeatedly messed with Baroness's company.
