It's still my favorite fairy tale after all these years

By Helene - 20 August 2021

The story is filled with many childhood emotions. I remember when I was 4 or 5 years old, my mom took me to see an ice ballet or some children's play, which was Beauty and the Beast. When I grew up, one of the most common things my mom said about taking me to the show was that she was so funny that she cried when the last rose petal fell.

So in my impression, Beauty and the Beast is always a love story full of human interest. It is not a story of a princess falling in love with a prince, nor is it a story of Cinderella changing from sparrow to phoenix, but a story of an ordinary girl and a poor prince. It's not a story of two people falling in love at first sight, but a biased, self-conscious transformation.

Let's start with what IMAX looks like. The whole movie was worth the price of admission, especially for the scenes in the castle, which only IMAX can deliver. Actually one of the whole movie affects me most is just opening, Gaston play, standing next to the horse, the edge of the women to Gaston all fall in love, but sing to in addition to belle Gaston other girls don't delusion to him, then the horse stamped the puddle, dripping water on the women's dress, "splash" to the audience of Gaston wishful thinking of 3 d eyes, So that, not only for the special effects of lifelike smile, but also for their own flowers simper, this point is very interesting. Then there was the snowball thrown by the beast, which made a subconscious wink. So those are the two highlights. But the scene where Belle first eats at the castle, which I think is one of the more important scenes, could have been more interesting, which is a small pity.

Then there is the acting, which is widely mocked by the group. A lot of people say that Emma wouldn't have won the best Actress award even if she had lalalan, so Miss Watsons is pretty smart. But what kind of acting can a movie like this require, and there is no room for acting. I thought Emma's performance was very competent. It wasn't amazing, but it didn't ruin the movie. At least Emma's looks are on a level, and seeing the dancing and the rose petals fall at the end of the scene still inspires emotions, which I think is a moving performance. Besides, several of my friends cried in the movie theater.

Finally, the overall level of the film is very high, and the performance in all aspects is very harmonious, including picture, performance, story continuity and music. Although there may not be many highlights, the level is not bad, and there is no short board, so the whole film feels like a beautiful and comfortable screen story. As for myself, although I don't like Disney's various live-action money-making activities, the kindergarten level truth of not judging people by their appearance is still applicable today as I grow up. So when Belle put on that classic yellow dress and danced with the dapper beast, it was a touch, but I can't tell whether it was a childhood memory or a longing for something that can't be met.
