>The classic 1946 French version of Beauty and the Beast (La Belle et la Bête) featured an opening epigraph that explained the concept behind director Jean Cocteau’s live-action fairy tale: “Children believe what we tell them. They have complete faith in us.” That faith gets compromised in the new live-action musical Beauty and the Beast. Its attempt to sneakily indoctrinate children (and adults) into Disney Corporation banality recasts the nature of parent-child (and Hollywood-consumer) relations so that that bond is subsumed in state-sponsored political correctness. This new version — with its feminist Belle (Emma Watson), a crude, chauvinist-male Beast (Dan Stevens), and a “diverse” underclass of servants and objects-come-to-life (performed by Josh Gad, Audra McDonald, Emma Thompson, Ewan McGregor) — is a fairy tale that confuses liberal social engineering with “magic.”
>Viewers — particularly parents — who cannot discern the difference between entertainment and propaganda may have already been duped by Disney’s long-standing entertainment hegemony. It’s a mistake to think that such propaganda is innocent storytelling. This Millennial Beauty and the Beast becomes grim progressive silliness when it erases basic gender distinctions and politicizes the background and experience of the commoner Belle and the aristocratic Beast. It’s a blockbuster touting specious lessons in Occupy logic and “tolerance.”
As usual, Armond speaks the truth. He IS the best movie critic working today, and whoever says the opposite is a plebeian faggot. Or worse, a /r/movies user.
I actually watched the criterion version, and it put me to sleep. Very pretty, but it didn't really grab me. youtube.com/watch?v=f6qDPCh33fg now this, this is masterful

How about the fact that this the only real difference between this version and the last disney version is that this is live action If the live action version only just now compromises whatever sanctity this reviewer is deciding to defend, clearly this reviewer is only responding to a presence of politically forward thinking that has been present the entertainment industry for quite some time now. tl;dr the person who wrote this is full of bullshit, the last disney version was just as politically correct in terms of gender distinctions and social class division

why would one see a live action adaption of the beauty and the beast what do you hope to see that would actually be exciting and/or an improvement over the classic

Damn this man is really on point actually.
This is exactly it though. You can't be a true rebel or bohemian and support this technocratic state-sponsored social-engineering shit. It's so tepid, and even... EVEN if the values were good - which they aren't - the way they are implemented and the overall feel of it is unacceptable.
I would rather have some wildness that lets a lot of messy human nature to do its thing than some sickly, rationalistic, "functioning" social democratic technocracy.

Just went on it, it blew me away. I reccomend it. You can jump on this meme wagon or take it for what it is.
First of all the plot is a lot better and fleshed out than in the original movie. We get extra songs to add to the old ones, the beasts past is touched upon and the most important one imo: Belle has a reason for staying in the castle and not 'exploring the world'. New enchanted object can basically teleport her whereever to complement the mirror which can show her anyone
To the visual design, I looooved. Shit. Like you can tell that the designer wanted that cold steel blue and golden yellow to clash so beautifully. It didn't feel like a kids movie with a crude blue and piss yellow. Every shot and its colors were carefully thought out to make the most of everything.
I liked the fashion of the era. The clothes are real interesting to see, and they are beautiful. The CGI is bit weird, but it didn't ruin the movie.
I already love musicals so that was just the icing on the cake.
To the actors, Emma is already making Stewart Kristen look like she is over performing. Not the main star of the movie.
Gaston, what a man. He's got the charm nailed down 100 % and looks like a fox in a mans skin. The way he walks, talks everything is perfect.
Lefou, I hated him in the original version, which I suppose was the role he was meant to fufill. But in this one you strt to get a feel for the sass that Lefou brings to the table. Was smiling most of the time when he was on stage.
Cons: Annoying kid cup annoying dog thing made the triplets look ugly
Xavier Flores
The king of Sup Forums has spoken.
Aiden Lee
cont.
The evil sorceress got touched upon. Started to learn the reasons for why she basically doomed hundreds of people to slavery and then sudden death at the end of the curse. She is a poor spinster living in the village which everyone mistreats. However I suspect that over time the aristocrats treated her more poorly, which is why she focuses her rage on them, but still inadverting hurting the ones closest to the aristocrats: the towns people who look down on her. She gets revenge on everyone. Everyone loses their memory, which is why nobody notices that giant castle.
We get to see Belle making some cool stuff to wash laundry, I'll admit I wouldn't have thought of that. Maybe I should invest in a mule and a big ass tub to wash my clothes for cheap.
Lot of emphasis on roses, making the main enchanted rose more important, overall the movie is keeping its shit alot more together than the original one.
Only cringed once in the movie, when the Beast was eating its food with his face. The sounds he made were so fake and cartoony. Snapped me out of it for a moment.
fucking yes Lefou gets some at the end of the movie
Samuel Carter

Lefou deserves to get his dick wet...even if it has to be anal juices. He got cucked fucking hard in the original, now his character has more going for him than a sterotypical gay stalker. He actually got some balls, literally and figuratively at the end of the movie.
Nathan Powell

Brody King
I believe that different races have different behavioral traits based on genetics. I believe that blacks have a propensity for poorer critical thinking, snap judgment, and risk-reward analysis compared to other races.
However, just because they have an ingrained genetic propensity for those negative traits does not mean all africans exhibit them. Only a sith deals in absolutes.
Jayden Ward
Because it's a review, not a spoiler.
Gabriel Sanchez
beauty and the beast is one of the most shit stories ever created, and disney's cartoon musical is among the worst movies in their catalog.

I'm surprised by how bad the poster is at concealing Emma Watson's unsuitability for the role. The way they've shooped her, she looks like, hmm.... Hume Cronyn.

So they're ripping off Cocteau's idea of making the Beast look slightly effeminate once changed back to human form, eh?

No, we won the election, but cultural battle has been joined. Disney are peddling weirdy shit. People are pointing it out.
I used to think Armond White was risible, but he isn't really, he's just dissident in an unexpected direction.
Chase Jones

Lucas Wood
>Its attempt to sneakily indoctrinate children (and adults) into Disney Corporation banality recasts the nature of parent-child (and Hollywood-consumer) relations so that that bond is subsumed in state-sponsored political correctness.
This is true. Disney needs to stop shilling.
Ryder Bell
I don't really see what kind of point Armond White is supposed to be making here. Sort of vaguely making the common right-wing implication that [insert multiple parentheses around media/entertainment company] is trying to break down society by normalizing "degenerative" behavior, wrapped in more complex vocabulary to make his review seem more intelligent. And keep in mind that White himself is a personal proponent of boipuccy. I dunno, maybe this review would make sense if I ever decided to watch this new Emma Watson movie, which I will not.
Xavier Nguyen
>Emma Thompson
This is the horror, casting Richard Dawkins' lady clone to play "Belle" when you have a woman who in her day was an ultrafox and who many would still crawl a mile over broken glass to hear fart through a walkie-talkie to do voice acting.
Nathan King
Fuck off they're perfect
Luke Thomas
Fucking hell, you're a bit of a thick cunt, aren't you? They are clearly pushing leftist drivel in this film, we know because they've promoted it on that basis. Armond White being the kind of person its intended to pander to is exactly why he's so valuable - when a guy who could clean up from a scam warns you about it instead, that's a guy worth respecting.
Sebastian Watson
This looks dreadful. Her face is not good, and the guy is weedy.

Oliver Garcia
>If the live action version only just now compromises whatever sanctity this reviewer is deciding to defend White hated the last Beauty and the Best too and has been writing against the same issues now for decades.
>remain mainstream >National Review Online The powers that be killed White's career for the things that he says. A few decades ago Pauline Kael wrote for The New York Times saying the exact same things but times have changed.
That's because OP is a stupid faggot who only took two paragraphs out of a long review because they were the most controversial.

Robert Martinez
There's nothing wrong with seeing this flick as liberal propaganda(it probably is), but he never discussed the merits of the film at all. This review would hold a lot weight if he actually criticized the plot, the characters, the themes, the technical aspects, etc.. Atleast judge the film on its actual values, he's just unnecessarily injecting his political beliefs in this review.
Juan Reed
I wrote something similar in another thread but I will say it again. Beauty and the Beast is not just a nonsense children movie with no message. The original is basically template story for how a young girl becomes a women. It is basically the archetypal hero story applied to the feminine.
The protagonist has to replace the masculine figure in her life, her father, with her husband. He is a beast, a symbol of the unknown. Over the course of the story she confronts the unknown and in the process he is transformed into a beautiful man.. It is the same thing when the hero goes to kill the dragon to rescue the treasure. It is basically telling a women how to live a complete life, what difficulty they will face, and if they confront the unknown, and make it known, they can find great reward. To subvert that message is to do damage to all those who watch it
