Beauty and the Beast Film Review

The remake: Beauty and the Beast was released on March 17, 2017, featuring Emma Watson as Belle, Dan Stevens as The Beast, Luke Evans as Gaston, Josh Gad as LeFou, and more. It was distributed by Walt Disney Studios. The movie was a fantasy, magical and unrealistic, yet with a mood of realism. 


It’s not just about love, it's about the fundamental attribution of a kind heart and soul that returns true love. The beast, albeit extremely infeasible that humans in reality -- ones that are arrogant and selfish beings -- can subsequently be punished for their actions, is punished by the curse. The curse hooks on a hideous look, turning him from an arrogant prince to an arrogant beast, so technically he plays the antagonist too. Belle, on the other hand, is beautiful of benevolent nature: kind to animals, mindful of teapots, and mainly, indulgent to the Beast. He can only be enlivened through true love.


The remake of the movie traverses the solace of mutual understanding, eliciting emotional authenticity from Belle and the Beast to us; the audience. Belle first backed off, and the Beast at first imprisoned her, but in the end, it all worked out. There are many invisible superpowers that serve as a helping hand. He learned respect, and Belle had the patience of teaching him with the support of the teapot, chandelier, and other personified objects. Especially during the climax of the ballroom dinner the Beast invited Belle to, the exquisite gown and attire of the Beast, the iconic background melody of the ballroom, and his righteous mannerisms such as “It would give me great pleasure if you would join me for dinner” show his rebirth. This literally cannot be cuter. Just wanted to add, Emma Watson was gorgeous, she was a whole princess.


Finally, Beauty and the Beast marks socialism, such as the importance of good virtue and nature as the essence of a healthy, holistic society. People put people in place, and there are always people behind our backs to help us, such as the objects and Belle for the Beast. The embodiment of the heroine spirit in the movie showcases that humans are not born evil, and “if it’s not Baroque, don’t fix it.” Not everything works under society’s cages and norms, as we all serve a purpose. And so, the Beast’s revamp of himself for and through Belle sprinkles him with love. In the end, everything falls perfectly into place as it should be, as it is well-deserved.


It marks an era in my heart, an all-time classic since 6 years ago.
