english,
More than two decades have passed since the love story of an odd girl living in a small village and a cursed prince enchanted the hearts of viewers. Now, sixteen years later, Disney’s live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast will take you on a magical journey filled with fascinating animations and Broadway vibes that will make you want to sing, dance, live, and love.
Launched in the country last March 16, the movie was warmly welcomed by fans and newcomers alike. Years after playing Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter franchise, Emma Watson stars as the lovely Belle who unexpectedly meets the frightening Beast, played by Dan Stevens. Celebrities such as Josh Gad, the voice of Olaf from Disney’s Frozen, provide the comedic side of the movie while the narcissistic evil antagonist Gaston is brought to life by Luke Evans. Joining the remarkable cast are popular personalities Ian McKellen, Emma Thompson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Ewan McGregor, and the adorable Nathan Mack who voiced talking ornaments Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, Featherduster, Lumiere, and Chip, respectively. Directed by Academy-Award winning director Bill Candon, the movie has amassed around $690 million dollars since its global premiere.
A tale as old as time
The story of the Beauty and the Beast is instilled forever in the hearts of every Disney fan. Seeing it in live-action made us feel nostalgic about our childhood and made our inner child’s hearts light up knowing that the plot stayed close to what we expected.
During a ball teeming with the wealthy and the elegant, the handsome prince of the castle was faced with the dilemma of dealing with an old lady asking for help. Little did he know that his response to this seemingly trivial encounter would change his life, and those of his people, too. On the other side of the story enters Belle, a girl who, with her books and inquisitive nature, is deemed quite different from everyone else in her village. The fates of these two characters are tied as Belle comes to her father’s rescue after being caught unawares in the prince’s castle.
Unbeknownst to them both, this was the start of a romance that is deeper than skin and a love that sees with the heart, and the rest of the story unfolds in a flurry of strange encounters, musical numbers, and unexpected discoveries.
A song as old as rhyme
This movie didn’t just bring us to a trip down memory lane; it also brought an exemplary whole-package experience to its audience. All of the songs that were sung expressed genuine emotions, making its listeners feel the shift from one lyric to another. Aside from this, the cinematography of the film was beyond what we expected. The colors weren’t at all binary and each frame in the film gave us a clear depiction of what was really happening in the actual scene. We also commend how they presented this classic fairytale in a more realistic and thrilling approach.
The costume and design deserve praises, too. It made believe that what we were watching then was really happening in Paris in the 1700s.
In addition, the cast must be commended for their incredible performance. No matter how small or big their part is, they have this energy that makes the whole picture come to life. It felt as if there were no lead, supporting, and extra actors or actresses because every one of them performed their hearts out. And we believe that these are the small contributions that make a great movie.
A dream come true
We never expected to see the 1991 animation to come to life so vividly. The movie that was once a child’s storybook was turned into something big, influential, and magical. Because this movie wasn’t just made for popularity or fame, it is also a call to every girl to look up to and be like Belle. Watson perfectly portrayed her as a strong, independent woman that would never let a man stand in her way. Also, Belle showed the lengths that one would go for family, especially since her father was all she had left.
Beauty and the Beast also left us an important message in life: we should treat everyone equally, regardless of their looks. We should look deeper than what we see on the surface. Also, it gives people the idea that selfishness is not something you should keep inside heart. We must give, and give, and give as it is the key that will lead us to our happily ever after.
Watching this movie was truly a complete escape from reality. We were enchanted by the capability of one kind soul to change a cold-hearted beast. And we want all of you to watch it and to see the wonders of love and all its magic. //by Hanna David, Jo-ev Guevarra and Zach Jugo
