Beauty and the Beast - 美女與野獸
Beauty and the Beast (美女與野獸) is an 2017 Disney film. The movie stars Emma Watson and Dan Stevens as the Beauty and Beast. The supporting cast include Luke Evans, Kevin Kline, Josh Gad, Ewan McGregor, Stanley Tucci, Ian McKellen, and Emma Thompson. This is the live-action remake of the 1991 animated Disney film of the same name.
In a village, a father and daughter pair must make things work when the mother passes early. Maurice is a expert clock maker that gets captured while making a delivery. Belle volunteers to exchange herself for her father's freedom. The Beast is cursed and when the last rose pedal falls, he'll stay a beast forever.
If you saw the 1991 version when you were younger, which I don't remember, you'll like this one. The technology of today in some sense makes what would have been animated in yester-year live action today. You just need the doe to make the film. Which Disney has plenty of.
Emma Watson's turn as Belle was excellent and it wasn't a damsel in distress, but a strong female character who bucks the trends of tradition for the freedom of today.
