In the most popular modern versions, the story is a metaphorical fairy tale about the archetypal heterosexual relationship between men and women in God’s Creation. According to scholars, the story is 4,000 years old, but its modern version comes from a female French writer’s version published in 1740 and abridged and re-worked in the 100 years thereafter. “Beauty and the Beast” is one of those fairy tales that contains a profound, eternal, even overtly Christian message about the human condition. So, MOVIEGUIDE® advises caution for Disney’s 2017 live-action version of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. This content doesn’t fit in with the rest of the movie and seems forced. However, this live action version has inserted some gratuitous, politically correct, homosexual references surrounding the villain’s sidekick. That said, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST hits many of the same emotional highs in this tale of true love. The CGI special effects aren’t as captivating as the 1991 movie’s animation.
However, a jealous suitor decides he must kill the Beast. The curse can only be lifted if Belle can learn to love the Beast of her own free will. The Beast is really a prince who’s been cursed for being selfish. Belle wants adventure, and she finds it when she takes her father’s place after he’s imprisoned by a beast in a mysterious, isolated forest castle.
Belle is a strong-willed young woman in love with books.
Disney’s new BEAUTY AND THE BEAST is an updated live action version of the 1991 animated classic based on the popular fairy tale.
