I have seen the 2014 version of "Beauty and the Beast" before, and I have no impression of Bell in it. I checked it a few days ago and was surprised. It turned out to be played by Léa Seydoux. I've seen her as a killer and gay painter, and her wildness and uninhibitedness are very characteristic. She's not pretty or well-behaved enough to be a fairy tale heroine. Her beauty would be submerged in the characters and costumes of the fairy tale characters, thus becoming ordinary. Of course, I'm not saying that fairy tale characters are ordinary, but on the contrary, they need to be particularly beautiful and aura, and everything they do is extraordinary and miraculous. And she is an alternative feeling, it will be more charming to let her wear a leaf and a leopard skin skirt, climbing a long vine and flying in the canyon.
What I particularly like about this film adaptation is that Belle's heart is opened with books, and she shares the same hobby as the Beast and loves to read. The Beast has a very large and imposing study room full of books. When the imprisoned Bell walked into the study, he was stunned and extremely happy, as if he was suddenly free. She asked the Beast if he had read all these books, and he said that of course some books have not been read, because there are many heavenly books in the world. Bell praised him for being very humorous and was no longer afraid of him. Reading with him, walking in the cursed garden that turned into ice and snow, reading poems to him while walking, listening to her reading poems, he said that the scenery in front of him has become much more beautiful than usual.
Bell was pleasantly surprised to find that the Beast also likes Shakespeare. She asked him which book he liked the most and whether he liked "Romeo and Juliet". He said that the story was about being in love and not being able to stay together. She asked him what he thought of the book he was reading, and he said yes. The story of the fight between men, Bell said it was also for women, in short, it was all romantic love. I have never liked the life in the palace very much. Even with the love of a princess and a prince, I feel that it is just a small world, another kind of imprisonment, but when I see such a large-scale study, I feel that the world is because of books. become very broad. Just like the life of a person who loves to read, it may be monotonous and boring to others, but it is very rich and infinitely varied. It is a free world without boundaries and barriers that others can't imagine. The world may be very small, but the realm of the heart is very large.
When they gradually communicated and understood, and after having a lot of common language, one day the beast asked Bell if she was happy. She who was very happy suddenly said sadly and sorrowfully: How can people who are not free be said to be happy? I remembered that I was always envied by others as a happy woman. At that time, I thought how can a person who is often unhappy be said to be happy? At that time, I always disapproved of their envy and disapproval of happiness, thinking that it was a very mundane and superficial thing.
But now the realm is different. For a very emotional and very emotional person, depression, sadness, sadness, and even despair are all normal. Many times it is just an emotion, a kind of emotion that is aroused by something. mood swings. For example, Riyue once said that my sadness is a kind of leisure, not a problem that really needs to be solved. Sometimes I feel that life is very beautiful, and it is great to be alive to feel it, and sometimes I am suddenly depressed and even desperate enough to end my life. In any case, when your sorrows, joys and sorrows are separated from real life and become a kind of spiritual feeling and throbbing, you will indulge in that kind of joy, and you will not be knocked down when you are desperate. Because you have transcended the shackles of real life, you are not bound, there are no special boundaries for pain or joy, gain or loss, etc.
Later, Bell saw from the beast's magic mirror that his father was in danger. She was very worried and anxious, and the beast let her out of the castle to save him. The others who were cursed with him to become all kinds of things all hoped that Bell would be able to fall in love with the Beast to break the curse, and they wondered why the Beast had let her go, and one of them said that it was because he fell in love with her. Another asked him why he let her go since he fell in love with her, and the Beast said that to love someone is to set her free. The Beast, who fell in love with Bell, watched her flying away, wandering sadly and alone in the tower. Bell's enthusiasm, tenderness and kindness have soothed the beast's indifferent, selfish and frozen heart, enabling him to have the ability to love and to know how to love others. Because of this, he finally got Bell's love, and he lifted the curse and turned back into a human being.
But should the prince be cursed to turn into a beast because he was indifferent and did not help the witch? He helps others because he is kind, and it is not a crime to neither help nor harm others. The witch turned the prince into a beast because he didn't get help, and let him fall into the abyss of pain. What kind of punishment should he receive? What obligation does others have to help you? Can some people punish others just because they have certain rights or abilities? Of course, kindness is good, and the story needs to develop the plot in this way, otherwise how will it go on. In addition, the prince gets love, which is also a kind of reward. Maybe the witch just wanted to give him a piece of love, but because he was not entitled to it, he had to pay a heavy price.
Bell is very dissatisfied and tired of the life in the small village. She is called a weirdo because she likes reading and fantasizing. She yearns for the outside world and an extraordinary life. She asked her dad if she was a weirdo, and it's certainly not a compliment when people say that. Her dad told her that there was a woman in Paris who was called eccentric, rejected and beaten, but over time they began to admire and imitate her. Because Bell has an extraordinary mind, when she sees a beast, she is not only afraid and disgusted, but gradually sees his beautiful side, so she falls in love with him and gets the kind of life and happiness she has always longed for.
Feeling and discovering beauty is a talent. Bad, ugly people only see ugly things. When the villagers heard Gaston said Bell had black magic, they locked their father and daughter in a lunatic asylum, and followed him to destroy the beast. The horrific scene of people looking for the castle in a hurry reminds me of Edward Scissorhands in Edward Scissorhands where people flock to Edward's castle with weapons to kill him. People without brains and knowledge are just like that. They are extremely easy to be incited, and the consequences of being incited collectively are so terrifying and unimaginable. I really hope that doesn't happen in the real world.
I remember when I was in elementary school walking alone on the road, I would imagine that a bad guy would suddenly appear, and then a prince would come to save me, and of course I would also imagine that I saved the person I liked. No matter who saves who, it's very romantic, sad and touching. In adolescence, I also fantasized about being in danger with the person I fell in love with, and then he left the world to save me. I was devastated for him, and I will always love him and miss him forever. I feel that if I lose the most beautiful moment of my love, I will always love him, and it will never change, and I will not suddenly stop loving him one day. Because if he continues to walk, he will inevitably see shortcomings, and it will also change due to changes in his feelings and attitudes. The reality is very cruel and boring. The cruel reality can be rescued by literature and art, and by the fairy-tale sense of miracle, which gives people the courage and passion to live.
Also worth noting when watching the movie is Belle's dance dress - Belle's dress has stars twinkling. The scene where Mrs. Wardrobe designs Belle's dress is charming, magic of course, and when it's almost done, she suddenly remembers the most important thing - the stars on the skirt - and she waved her arms, counting them The stars floated towards Belle and landed on her layered skirt, and the stars twinkled as she spun, very beautiful. According to the information, Emma Watson also participated in the design. She said that Bell was so energetic and yearned for freedom. Her skirts should not have a sense of restraint, and no corsets and skirt supports. Therefore, this skirt has no panniers in it, but takes many layers, about 180 feet (about 54 meters) of feather-light organza instead, and is sewn with 3,000 feet (about 914 meters) of silk thread. The skirt is inlaid with 2160 Swarovski crystals, and it will have a light and elegant effect when you dance.
However, it is much more beautiful and charming to describe than it looks. Probably because it is not blue, it does not have such a shocking effect in my eyes. The 2015 Lily James version of Cinderella's blue dance dress is really beautiful, Cinderella spins under the fairy stick, and turns out a blue dance dress, like the stars twinkling in the dark night, and the crystal shoes also look like blue The colored stars are twinkling. But people who prefer yellow will probably think Bell's dress is more beautiful. I remember that my best friend liked goose yellow in high school. I was very disapproving of it at the time. I thought goose yellow was light and had no characteristics. Later, I realized that each color has its own unique beauty. I want to tell her about the beauty of this princess dress and ask her if she still likes goose-yellow, but she will probably say that she is so old to talk about princess dresses, so forget it.
In the movie, those who are cursed into other things call Bell a princess, Bell said she is not a princess, but in people's impression, Cinderella and Bell are princesses, every woman should be a princess, but many people themselves Don't think so. In the real world, an innocent and cute adult is reprimanded for being a girl and a princess, attacked as hypocritical, and ridiculed by others. And most of these people are women. They have given up their beauty as princesses, so they have lost their rights. When they see other women who can make them jealous, they can't help but attack. Quite a pity.
