      beauty and the beast

      This is one of my favorite cartoons when I was a kid! On par with Digimon! The first cartoon that I came into contact with started singing as soon as I disagreed, and it was dubbed in Chinese. Thinking about it now, the dubbing at that time was really conscientious: all the lyrics were translated in rhyme, and they were not the original sound + subtitles, but were actually sung. I can still recall in my mind the strong voice of the person who snatched the relatives and sang: Beauty~girl~Bei~er!...

      The ending is weird

      It may be because of the fact that there are many operas, and the coherence of the storyline is obviously rough. But for the 1946 film, it's not bad to be able to do this. Beautiful picture, the inner struggle of the characters is more delicately portrayed.
          Strange is the ending part, why the Beast says it's too late when Beauty saves him? There is such an important golden key does not seem to reflect an important role. . . There is also an abrupt scene of why the friend of the younger...

      the criterion collection 6#

      are mostly drama elements. The film further expands the space for drama performances and creates more illusions through light and shadow technology.

      The top-down shot of the father returning home is like a painting, covering all the characters while conveying a gloomy atmosphere.

      The slow motion of the little daughter running into the castle is beautiful.

      The beast's voice was gentle. The importance of sound as a symbol....

      Childhood memories about movies

      When I was a child (about 6 or 7 years old), I watched a beauty and a beast that was very impressive. It was a black and white movie. At that time, I can’t remember whether the TV set was black and white or not. It was probably this version. The beauty in the impression was beautiful. The costumes are more beautiful. The story starts from the beauty’s father picking a white rose and being caught by the beast. At the beginning, the beauty is not dressed up, but there is a handsome knight...

      The magical special effects of human flesh are extremely elegant to create a fairy tale-like sparkle. The lines and plot settings are full of morals, but the overall story is simple enough to feel cool enough. The stupid handsome guy who loves Belle doesn't seem to exist in fairy tales. He is a very interesting key character and adds a chill at the...

      Bell Beta's sound seems to indicate a natural pairing; Beast Beta's bestiality is expressed by gnawing on deer, jealous of the bloodthirsty behind a rival, and drinking water. Bell just looks a little old, but behind the blond wavy hair, gorgeous clothes and himself The temperament is added, and I feel beautiful. The magic furniture in the residence has no animation visual effect bonus, which is much inferior, but it is good at the level of the time. There is also a baroque, Rococo style with...

      This is the real ugly beast, not just animals like other versions. This movie is based on the logic of fairy tales. It ignores the logic of adults and only shows you this level of performance. I prefer the castle part of the beast, the statues and candlesticks played by real people, which are weird and interesting. This method doesn't work either. Bella's acting skills are a bit bad, she played in the front in many reactions, which reduces the experience for fairy tale...

      [Anthology Film Archive Film Screening] Women's gaze on the beast burns its skin, but the description of such a textual "gazing" is not the author's concern for the binary relationship between the viewfinder and the captured object. The result of the female character's gaze. The idea of ​​human head statues and candles seems to have inspired Disney to set candle holders, grandfather clocks and other furniture as human-shaped...

      The deepest impression is that the long and narrow corridors and the wall lamp posts are all an individual's arm, and the angle will change with the movement of the person. ....

    Movie plot

    A merchant in a certain village has three daughters and one son, but they are either bad or vicious. Only the youngest daughter, Belle, is the purest, but she is often bullied by them. Once the businessman got lost on his way home and slept in an abandoned house in the forest. The next day I got up and saw many roses in the garden, so I picked one and wanted to give it to my little daughter. At this time, a monster appeared, and it...

    Evaluation action

    "La belle et la bête" is an outstanding magical film, superb in plastic art, lighting use and artistic conception creation. In the 1940s, when there were no computer special effects, it was amazing that Jean Coque created the special effects of the mirror. The filming was very beautiful and colorful. In a sense, "La belle et la bête" is not only a movie, but a flawless work of art, which embodies the unique artistic expression of Jean...

    Movie quotes

    • Ludovic: May the devil himself splatter you with dung.

    • La Bête: So, my dear sir, you steal my roses. You steal my roses, the things I love most in all the world. Your luck has gone from bad to worse. You could have taken anything except my roses. The punishment for this simple theft is death!

      Belle's Father: Sir, I didn't know. I meant no harm. My daughter asked me to bring her a rose.

      La Bête: Don't address me as "sir." I'm called the Beast! I don't like compliments. Don't try to understand. You have fifteen minutes to prepare to die!

      Belle's Father: Sir...

      La Bête: Again! The Beast orders you to be silent. You stole a rose, so you must die. Unless one of your daughters... how many do you have?

      Belle's Father: Three.

      La Bête: Unless one of your daughters agrees to pay your debt and take your place.

      Belle's Father: But...

      La Bête: Don't argue! Be off! Make the most of the chance I have offered you. And should your daughters refuse to die in your place, swear to return in three days. Swear it!

      Belle's Father: I swear. But how will I find my way home? I got lost in the forest.

      La Bête: You'll find a white horse in my stables. His name is Magnificent. Whisper in his ear, "go where I am going, Magnificent. Go, go, go!" He'll take you home and bring you back to my castle, should your daughters prove too cowardly to ride him in your place. Go now!

    • La Bête: Belle, you mustn't look into my eyes. You needn't fear. You will never see me, except each evening at 7:00, when you will dine, and I will come to the great hall. And never look into my eyes.
