My favorite animated movie of all time. Yes, it is a fairy tale movie from Disney, but that doesn't make it as usual as we might suppose at first. The movie got the first oscar nomination for an animated movie and it was extremelly well delivered.
To start, the future princess is not another blonde with blue eyes searching for it's prince charming. She has ideals, dreams and don't want to be ignorant for the rest of her life. She doesn't want to be another married woman that spents her life taking care of the husband while he provides his family. Belle reads and dreams out loud of how would be to have her own fairy tale story. She doesn't care of how crazy she might seem to the rest of the village. But, even then, she knows how to keep her educated posture towards everyone, no matter what.
The villain is not the monster but the usual hot man showed in every movie we see. And guess what, is a sexist bastard that only wants Belle because she's the only one that he still didn't get. For him, a girl should never read, she can start having ideas... It's rude to everyone, because he thinks it's superior to all and no one ever argued that. He is the true beast in the movie. Has no brains, only muscles and a pretty face. And has the most beautiful girls in town always behind him, envying Belle for being the only one Gastan wants. Maybe they're a little bit shallow, or is it just me?
Finally, the monster it's the prince that truly deserves the love of the girl. He from the beginning has a bad temper. But that changes after some time with the girl of his dreams. He starts showing his caring side as he starts to find what love means. The beast starts to become the prince charming as the movie goes on. And, in the end, is able to make the biggest sacrifice in order to make the girl he loves happy again.
Here, true love comes to the top. Two characters start developing feeling for each other as they start knowing each other. There's no such thing as love at first sight. She starts loving his personality, not his beautiful appearance. And we can see this perfectly when Belle only kiss him after be certain he is the same person she loved before he got rid of his curse.
And I will not talk about the beautiful animation and music placed in the movie...
With this movie we can see that if we are with the right person on our side, we can show our best side.
Joker was the best villain that could ever happen. Heath Ledger did an amazing work in his last job.
