Personally, I really enjoy watching this movie. The character structure is really easy to understand. What I enjoy the most is that Beast cares so much for Belle and he proves his the deepest love with a great tragedy ending. The part he says, “the poor beast who want to prove their love can only grovel on the ground, and die”. I cannot possibly imagine how much he loves Belle. I also think it is a brilliant idea that comparing Belle’s two sisters with Belle because audience can have a general idea of Belle as a gentle and loving girl in the beginning. I really love this movie not only because of interesting characters but also because of the most amazing background music. Although the movie does not have special digital effects, the movie can be described as prefect for the story

    It’s no surprise then that he ends up being the story’s antagonist, which is another difference between Disney’s version and the original. In reality, the novel’s antagonist has already done her damage, but in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, we see Gaston evolve from a comedic nuisance to an ominous irritation, and then finally into an alarming villain. By having the Beast in a much more desperate situation, and an antagonist who is a real and present threat, the Disney version has already established a darker tone. The same can be said for how Belle and her father first come across the…

    Sam Mendes’ 1999 film American Beauty offers a narrative that subverts the idea that suburban neighborhoods are the perfect setting in which to raise a family. Instead, the film portrays the suburbs as “spaces of conformity, dysfunction, and repression” (Smicek 2014, p.43). Through the use of its almost caricature-like characters that at times lose themselves in ridiculous and morally corrupt behaviors, American Beauty exposes a darker side of the very familiar domestic ideal of suburban life. The film itself does not reveal any hidden truths about suburban life, but instead puts a magnifying glass on what would be considered completely mundane problems and flaws – “midlife crisis, obsessive fascinations, sexuality, personal success, extramarital affairs, and the difficulties and debauchery of many suburban families” (Papajcik, 2006, p.11-12) – if they did not happen to people who live with the pressure of achieving domestic and social perfection. Beuka (as…
