Dear Beast.... Screw You. Sincerely, Belle.
Last weekend, I watched Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas for the first time ever. Actually it was on tv and I tuned in part way through. I wasn't into it at all, but I kept watching for one reason only... the Beast is SUCH A dick! I was shocked and slightly amused at the same time. I don't remember much of the first Beauty and the Beast movie, but seriously, it was a little disturbing seeing this one in a different light!
This movie is apparently a "midquel" which confused the life out of me. Everything in the film happened during the original movie. Not after, not before. Weird, right?
Let's take a quick look at how much of a grumpy a-hole the Beast is before his transformation....
Not much changes afterwards either. He is the most bipolar manbeast in the entire fictional world. He screams and threatens and wipes his big dirty animal feet all over his poor little animate object servants. He bitches about Belle whenever possible and at one point even throws her into his dungeon to rot!!!
First of all... I couldn't understand why Belle would just sit there and take it! She was all like "Ohh that's ok that you just threw me in this dungeon to die. I still love you... let me sing you an enchanted Christmas song!"
Seriously, Belle? My opinions of you have officially done a 180. This is a full on abusive relationship made into a fairy tale!! Half way through I wished she would just tell him to screw off and storm out of that castle.
I kind of wish I never watched this movie. I saw the tale from a different point of view and it ruined all of my Disney hopes and dreams :(
Have you seen it? What did you think?
P.s. If you have a random question for me (anything from 'what's your favorite colour' to specific knowledge type questions), head on over to this post! I'll be answering them in a q&a post!
