The name "Beauty and the Beast" can be searched for many versions, including movie version, TV series version and animation version. A fairy tale made a weird and incomprehensible feeling, and as a film format accompanied by an opera, it was very new to me. This is my final evaluation of the French version of "Beauty and the Beast" in 1946.
With the technology of the time, a black-and-white movie can shoot such a gorgeous, gorgeous and magical work, and it can be seen that the director's skill is extraordinary. The characters suddenly emerge through the wall, the necklaces are transformed with bare hands, and the necklaces and the dirt are interchanged. These fragments always make me unconsciously think of the 86 version of Journey to the West. The technical aspects are quite similar. In some details, the director’s handling is rather peculiar. It is like that after Bell arrived at the monster’s house, he did not explore slowly because of fear or fear, but strode forward and rampage, as if she knew that the beast was not there; drifting in the corridor. The move; the beast carried the fainted Bell into the bedroom is the change of Bell's clothes; and the ambiguous sentiment of Bell for the beast. These clips undoubtedly add a lot of magic to the movie. Some critics say that the director boldly used Freudian symbols in this work. The more obvious one is the strong sexual cues in the first meal of Bell and the Beast.
Generally speaking, after watching the film, my more feeling is that I can't figure it out. Why did the beauty go from being sad and scared, refusing to reject, to accepting a necklace, and then ran to the beast to show her okay? Why did she suddenly remember that the beast came back after staying at home? Seeing that the beast has turned into a handsome prince, who looks the same as the young man he likes, why is he not happy at all, showing a frivolous image from beginning to end?
At the end, I could only hum: "Girl's mind, boy, don't guess, you guess and guess but don't understand" and typed these words.

    The works of "Beauty and the Beast", but this one is full of allegorical meanings, quite able to solve the puzzles, and eliminate the greed, hatred, and poison of everyone in the jungle city. People are sold for their greed, and the beast is actually the embodiment of desire. I remember the beast said to his kind little daughter when he was dying: "If I were alone, maybe I could cheer up. But although the poor beast was eager to prove his love, he could only lie on the ground and die." Later, the beast. After becoming a prince, the little daughter looked at the prince with suspicion, and they seemed to be living together happily. Marlene Audrey, who plays the youngest daughter, said that when she saw the prince that the beast died at the premiere, she couldn't help but shouted to the screen: "Where is my beautiful beast?"

    I didn't know it was a musical before, otherwise I wouldn't have watched it, this guy would faint out of it. The production is in the forefront of the times. Father’s first visit to the castle to create the atmosphere and set the scene to go to fairy tales is very fond of the sense of fairy tales, the hand that sticks out from the wall, the statue of the face that can be turned to stare at people at all times, and it is automatically lit. Candles are visually satisfying. And that beast is so cute, I want to raise one.
