"Beauty and the Beast": The plot is simple, but it is beautiful.
Before watching this live-action movie, I only heard the word "Beauty and the Beast", and I haven't had time to find out what the story is like! So when I saw this movie, I could only take the literal meaning and understand it as a relationship between a beauty and a beast! For example, a beauty rescued the beast when it was in danger, and then the beast repaid, similar to Japan The animated film "The Cat's Repayment", Thailand's "Dog's Repayment", etc.; or the story type of the farmer and the snake in Aesop's fables. But after watching it for about 10 minutes, I found that it turned out to be a love story about Beauty and the Beast!
At the beginning of the film, the heroine was telling a bedtime story to the two children. The lighting and costumes of the movie were thought to be British movies in the 1960s. ! Until the heroine's father accidentally broke into the Beast's castle, I found out that this is a movie produced by France last year! The Beast said that a flower costs a life, and the heroine's father is asked to come back to the castle before tomorrow! The heroine Belle is a Brave girl, it seems that in all animated movies, the heroine is brave! Going to the castle instead of her father, Belle was shocked by all kinds of beautiful scenery after entering the castle. The road covered with roses corresponds to red and white, and the lake is dotted by the sunset. The sparkling waves are really beautiful! What surprised the heroine even more and made me envious is that there are comfortable beds, a table full of delicious food and wine, and a dress that is too beautiful!
After I was overjoyed, I was shocked. The heroine met the hero of the beast with a recognizable face! Not to mention the heroine Belle, even me, a bystander, was terrified at the moment when I saw the beast, and I sighed that the makeup technique was really in place. I remember someone said that waiting for death is more terrible than death. When eating with the hero, the heroine pretended to be calm and said, "What, I'm here in my father's place, you can kill or cut it if you want." Yes, of course the original words are not like this! Of course, the male protagonist will not kill the female protagonist, but just trap the female protagonist in this castle! After that, the female protagonist lived in this castle, probably to pave the way for the female protagonist to fall in love later. The reason for the male protagonist is also to explain why the male protagonist becomes a beast. The female protagonist often dreams, having a golden dream about the prince and princess! Under the influence of the dream, the female protagonist seems to fall in love with the male protagonist. But the heroine didn't know that love had come, so the director found a breakthrough and let a group of bullies who were greedy for money come to the castle. The heroine shed tears when she realized that the hero might be in danger, saying that she fell in love with her. The male protagonist, please let her return to the male protagonist, the beast.
At the end, the male protagonist and the female protagonist were happily together, opened a flower shop, had two children, and echoed the beginning and end of the movie! The above are all spoilers, let’s talk about the technical aspects of this movie Things, the plot is quite simple, but there are still a lot of bugs in the seemingly simple plot. For example, it is not clear why the male protagonist falls in love with the female protagonist. Is it really because a person is too lonely in the castle, so As soon as I saw the heroine, I fell in love at first sight! In addition, why did the giants appear at the end, and why the male protagonist could control these giants? After the male protagonist was stabbed, these giants were all broken, and there was no explanation at all! I will make up my own mind later. , maybe because the director didn't want the whole film to feel like an art film. The investors emphasized that there must be a commercial film in it to be worthy of the investment of 4,500 euros, so in the end, there was a stone giant vs. bullies, dark clouds over the sky, vines besieged The Hollywood-style commercial blockbuster of the castle is the visual sense!
Finally, some people say that this new version is not as good-looking as the old version. I have not seen the old version, so I will not express any opinions here! But the visual effects of this version are really first-class, as far as China is concerned, it should still be difficult to achieve! The French themselves are extremely wasteful. Roses and red wine are the most common witnesses in love stories. The costumes in the movie "Beauty and the Beast" also reveal French elegance and romance. It is a rare visual film. Bar!
