The film opens with a mother telling her children a bedside story. The story recounts the untimely death of a businessman's wife, who alone raised six children. Among the three boys and three girls, he has the best relationship with his youngest daughter, Belle. In bad times, his three merchant ships sank in the storm, leaving his family impoverished. One day, on his way home, a businessman stumbled into a mysterious castle in a blizzard. The castle was empty, but there was a sumptuous meal, and gifts he prepared for his daughters, as if the castle knew what was on his mind. Just as he was about to leave, he remembered that Belle asked for a rose, so he picked one and gave it to her. When it was too late, a monster suddenly threw him to the ground, told him that a rose is a life, and asked him to sacrifice his life to him. After the businessman returned, he told his family that in order to save his father, Belle resolutely went to the castle and sacrificed herself to replace her father. (I was attracted to see Belle's beauty in the prosperous age.) After Belle arrived at the castle, not only was she not killed by beasts, but she also received food and hospitality and gifts of fancy clothes, but she couldn't take a step out of the castle at night, and she lived a very Comfortable life. At first, Belle was very afraid of the hideous face of the beast, but the beast was actually more reluctant to see Belle's disgusting and fearful eyes. Every night Belle dreams of a handsome prince who loves to hunt. Needless to say, that's the beast. Gradually, she understood why the beast fell into the fate of the beast, and also knew that only love can lift the curse. But Belle starts to miss her family and asks the Beast to let her go back to see her family one last time. The Beast agreed, giving her a day and telling her that if she didn't come back as promised, he would die. Belle happily visited her long-lost family. The family was surprised and happy to see Belle, but it also caused her brothers to covet the treasure of the beast, and a battle was about to start. . .

Beauty and the Beast quotes

  • Belle: God of the forest. Let me go back to him. It is my only wish. My only desire.

  • [the Beast Catches The Merchant Taking a Rose]

    The Beast: My gifts were not enough for you? Do you also have to steal what I treasure most?

    The Merchant: I won't be treated as a thief or a coward. I am a just and honorable man!

    The Beast: Who did you pick this rose for?

    The Merchant: My youngest daughter. She is worth more than anything in the world, to me.

    The Beast: Then I will give you one day to say goodbye to your loved ones. You only need to whisper the words: "More than anything in the world," to your horse, and he will bring you here.

    The Merchant: I will not return!

    The Beast: Oh, yes you will. Otherwise, I will kill your entire family, one by one. I will kill your youngest daughter last, since she's your favorite. Remember... A life for a rose.
