After reading and swiping the comments, I was a little surprised and a little resentful. I only expressed my own opinions on some of the statements I saw:
The heroine staged Beauty and the Beast because of dissatisfaction with her desires?
If you think it's a dissatisfaction with your desires... Watching a movie costs electricity and money, so don't go. That very tense silent performance was the first time I shed tears. Two lonely and unforgivable people find each other. This may be too old-fashioned to attract today's high-profile audience, but the phrase "the way he looks at me, he doesn't know my flaws, he accepts me as I am" , precious equality, forgiveness and tolerance, too many feelings in the human world cannot do this.
The shaping of the monster godhead weakens the theme of marginalized people?
Is God referring to unnatural abilities he possesses, abilities that contradict the condition of being isolated? So, don't any mutants in the X-Men with superpowers of one kind or another deserve to be called marginalized? Geniuses may be marginal people, monsters have the ability to heal themselves, but they are also captured, tortured, and disposed of by humans. All of this is not contradictory. Caring for the marginalized, empathizing with their love and sorrow, is based on their circumstances.
The heroine's love is wishful singing, and it doesn't even have to be elevated to love?
So is it completely ignoring the monster's move to take her into the water and leave? Taking a step back, does love have to be reciprocal? Some human beings have more of a superficial understanding of the world than the villains on both sides of the Cold War. Love can transcend gender, transcend species, transcend all appearances, forms and vanities. This means that you can fall in love with a fish, you can fall in love with an ugly fish, or you can fall in love with the fish alone and in love with your own will. No outside voice has the right to reduce or extinguish this love. Also, what's wrong with love? The heroine sings songs of love, has sex with monsters, and takes risks for him. Isn't this worthy of love and moving?
In fact, aside from the heroine, the old painter and the black eldest sister touched me deeply. The artist's emotional setback has already made me very uncomfortable. When he said "please tell me what to do", my tears burst. Kind and cowardly people stand up for their friends, even if the friend is for another scalding throb. And the black eldest sister also put aside her petty complaints and worries for the heroine, and roared at her husband, "You will never understand if you spend your whole life." True love is not cheap, on the contrary, it is precious and brave, and for some people, it is indeed incomprehensible for the rest of their lives.
Soviet scientists also acted as American spies, but they were a unique wave of heat flowing between icy politics. He confided his real name to two cleaning girls who were too reckless and too brave. He should be envious and grateful, because he was burdened by the shackles of identity and reality, and he couldn't do anything better than holding a knife behind his back. The behavior of overstepping also had to relinquish the last breath of peace from the human demon.
Why can't we just enjoy fairy tales? Through the mouth of the old painter, he talked about the results of fairy tales with longing and restraint, with the innocence of children and the prudence of adults. This movie gave me the tenderness that is ubiquitous and turbulent like water, and it also has the tenderness that is sweet and dark like blood, quietly flowing. May everyone enjoy this gentle fairy tale in peace.
