This production is more amazing than the cast (I don't mean the hero and the protagonist, thank you) The movie made her stand out from the princesses. Not only did she personally remove her "I'm not a princess" title (I'm not a princess), but she also cleverly renovated without departing from the framework of the original story and retaining the animation version of the soundtrack. The character and the line of love.
The visual and musical effects have broken through the dimensional wall. I have never had such a bright, exquisite and luxurious dreamland in my life. Bravo! ! !
As expected, only Disney can do this kind of thing. The live-action version removes the elements of the animated version of the tower and bottled champagne, which are forced to France but contradicts "a long, long time ago", unifying the Rococo style of furniture and clothing. Porcelain, clocks, lamp stands, room decorations, the double staircase in the castle, and the setting is a 3D movie version of the castle tour. The floral decoration of the costume is even more frantic. The arrangement of each song is more complex and stronger than the animation, adding voices and line dance, mobilizing the atmosphere of the musical.
With the immersive magical world and catchy soundtrack, the two major killers of the animated version are carried forward even more, and the characters and plot are also more exquisite and reasonable.
All the stories of non-combat princesses always have eight characters: Women desperately embarrass women. Snow White is the stepmother chasing and killing the stepdaughter, the Sleeping Beauty is the witch making things difficult for the princess, Cinderella is the stepmother and her daughter who abuse the heroine together, and Rapunzel is the imprisoned play of the witch. There is only one way for these princesses to reverse their fate and get out of trouble: to marry the prince. Can't find a prince, can't get married, can only become a bubble. To sum it up-if you can't find a man, you are Luther who is stepped on by other women.
At least I personally feel that they are all tragic stories.
Belle was the most miserable of them. I always think this is a heavy taste of domestic violence in fairy tale skin + Stockholm syndrome + human and animal play. This impression is largely based on the animated version.
In the 90s, Disney has begun to pay attention to avoiding the old motives in the old story. The animated version of "Beauty and the Beast" arranges "the sisters who have been jealous of Belle's beauty" into a neighbor girl who has a crush on Gaston. It is not Belle's appearance, but hers. Opinionated. From the two points of advancing with the world in ideology and the social responsibility of a dream-making base with little girls as the main market, there should be applause here.
However, the animated version of Belle loves to read romantic romance novels and is full of illusions about the outside world (all Mary Su fans agree), and there is nothing special about it. The surrogate father was still a prisoner of the traditional "girl in distress" image. If a prince charming came in and killed the beast and brought her back to be the queen and lived a happy life since then, this story could also end. There is no PS trace.
After entering the castle, Belle’s emotional transformation and behavior are very strange-the beast’s imprisonment of her father is completely unreasonable (the animated version does not have the plot of stealing roses, he just lost his way and accidentally broke into the castle), and Belle had no objection to this bullying and didn't mean to run away. Later, because she couldn't hold back all kinds of things, she insisted on going to the West Tower to explore. She uncovered the glass cover and reached out to get the rose. She was scolded by the beast and ran away (what the hell!)
As for the beast in the animated version, I can't even see it at all. A little bit of "prince" appeared. He did not hesitate to inflict physical violence on Belle and his father, and he was semi-illiterate, let alone reading, and didn't even know a few big characters. If it weren't for the protagonist's halo, compared with the other guys in Murakami, he would at best be a wild appearance bonus. He loves Belle and can also say that based on beauty, Belle loves him for nothing except Stockholm or the taste of humans and animals.
Of course the violence in the 2D world is not so realistic (otherwise the episode of "Cat and Mouse" should end with Tom's tragic death), and love does not need to be reasonable (the donkey and the dragon multiply in isolation without reproduction for you to see), But if real people act like this, the messages sent will be very unfriendly to the little girls.
Therefore, on the same plot, the live-action version has drastically revised the personality and interaction.
Belle not only reads Prince Charming's novels, but also has considerable R&D and hands-on skills. He doesn't care about the threat of Gaston "Beware of becoming an old maiden". Regarding the unreasonable conditions put forward by the beast, the quarrel should be quarrelled and the quarrelling should be quarreled, and acting as a prisoner for the father is only a stopgap measure, and always has to find a way to run. After the dance, the beast carefully asked her if she was happy in the castle, but she still had a clear attitude—how can we talk about happiness without freedom.
The beast also retained the etiquette and self-cultivation of the prince to a considerable extent. Belle asked him if he had read all the books in the library, and he replied innocently, "No, some of them are written in Greek", all of which are quite advanced jokes. Adding in the description that Belle was in the village where she didn't see women reading and literate collectively squeezing her out, it made sense that she could chat with the beast.
Then add a piece of childhood memories (the little prince’s memory killing before his mother’s sick bed is just right). Under the background of the story of imprisonment and the setting of the separation between humans and animals, the format of arrogance and prejudice is not at all. Reluctantly.
In addition, the relationship between supporting actors has also changed to show that there is true love in the world and true love in the world. In the animated version, it’s hard to say what kind of relationship the Huzhongzhu people have with the beast or with Belle, they are just anxious to change back to human form. In the live-action version, the butler candidly swept around without fear, Mother Hu was guilty of self-reflection, and some of the beast’s childish words and deeds (sneered at "Romeo and Juliet", watch Guinevere and Lancelot insist that they I am reading a knight novel), creating a family atmosphere of "elders and young people". After being changed, LeFou's attitude towards Gaston is not just a simple and rude identity setting such as master and servant obedience. He has a somewhat ambiguous motive for following Gaston. In the end, the duel between the little white-faced ultimate villain and the pure beast completely illuminates the core theme of the whole story: Don't judge a person's good or bad just by appearance.
The whole village siege and the final reunion (both black and white couples, gay couples also have), in today's social environment, this theme has been subtly elevated a bit.
A story 300 years ago, leaving its imagination and cultural background, removing the dross and the stalemate of the times, but not hurting its bones, not only can meet the needs of the market, but also has the ambition to be the guide of the next generation.
Finally, , The sense of social responsibility belongs to the sense of responsibility, Dinis will never be soft in making money, Belle’s necklace and earrings, the boss will give me a copy.
PS: Disney has taken two steps forward in the past two years. "Frozen" sisters love and "Sleeping spell" mother-daughter love combo after using the honest "Cinderella" to appease the frightened audience. This should be considered a conservative remake, so can we expect the princess in the next movie to live happily and happily with the princess in the end?
