Beauty and the Beast - Live Action Retelling

[zena]

It was a really fun movie.  The CGI was great, the singing wasn't so bad and so was the acting.  It was well done.

I was a bit sad about them removing the most important part of the story where the beast tells Belle not to go to the west wing.  When she does enter the west wing and he catches her, he says: "Why did you come here?" and "I warned you never to come here."

When she replies, "I didn't mean any harm," he replies back with,

"Do you realize what you could have done?" and then with, "Get out!"

To me, I think that part made the story so I was a bit bummed about it, but overall, I enjoyed it.

I fell asleep watching it... 

[Believe_N_Me]

I never cared for this fairytale even before it became one of Disney's biggest animation hits.

It's so pretentious and filled with leftist hypocrisy.

Basically, two attractive people end up with each other and are king and queen. Really? How is that suppose to be a good moral lesson?

Did the beast really learn his lesson about kindness when he ends up winning the heart of the most attractive girl in the village?

The lesson should be that he fell in love with an average-looking girl with a heart of gold who taught him that kindness trumps the physical exterior. That is what breaks his curse - not a beautiful girl who was obviously spoiled with praise, attention, and admiration from the villagers. Yeah, I know they try to say that Belle was kind but let's face it, it's easier to see an attractive person as kind as long as they aren't a total biatch. There are even studies illustrating this.

I like "The Little Mermaid" (the old one where she actually dies) a lot more.
