Ever After (film)/Tear Jerker

Tear Jerkers in Ever After (film) include:

• Drew Barrymore's character had to pretend to be a noblewoman to save the life of a servant. While doing this, she caught the eye of the prince. At the climax of the film, she had just escaped from the room her stepmother had locked her up in and managed to get to the ball. But just as the prince reached her and was about to introduce her to everyone as his new wife, her stepmother revealed to everyone that she was actually just a servant and not a noblewoman, horribly humiliating her in the process. The prince, shocked and angry at being deceived, publicly rejected her, humiliating her even more. Left with no choice, she quickly fled the scene in tears. It always yanked my heart during that scene because of everything that she had went through during the whole movie, fighting against the enormous odds to go to the ball and tell the prince the truth, only for all her efforts to be wasted.
• There's also the scene right after that, when she's back to doing chores and the Baroness is taunting her. When Danielle finally snaps and screams that she is the only mother she's ever known, and asks her if she ever once loved her at all.

Baroness: How could anyone love a pebble in their shoe?

• As if the look on Danielle's face isn't enough, seconds later she is sold to a creepy older man who has previously implied how he'd love to spend some quality time with her. Her screams as she's dragged away and the other servants try to save her... its absolutely heartbreaking.
