New Beauty and the Beast

black-girl-against-feminism

I saw the new Beauty and the Beast, and it was okay. I loved the songs by Gaston Be Our Guest. There were some new songs in there that I didnt mind all that much but kinda took me off guard. I was kinda put off by the way Gaston and the townspeople acted in a few scenes but overall they were fine. They added people of color to it and I wasn’t bothered by that at all. But what really detracted from what would have been a really great movie was Emma Watson.

Now, I loved Emma Watson as Hermoine, but she just wasn’t the right fit to be Belle. When I see Belle in the animated film, I took her as a very friendly, elegant type of lady who would take no nonsense but still was very classy about it. Emma Watson wasn’t that Belle.

She was hardly friendly. To be honest, she made me feel like she barely liked anybody. In the animated movie, even in the brief interactions with the townspeople, you could tell she was kind and friendly to everyone and everyone felt the same about her, even if they called her strange.

Also, Emma Watson didn’t give me that elegant but very homely feeling that I would associate with Belle. She just felt very plain and awkward in that role. She didn’t feel like Belle, she felt like Emma Watson playing Belle(figuratively speaking).

In addition, not to sound mean but she didn’t have the looks for Belle. I’m not saying she’s ugly, but she has a very rigid look. Perfect for playing Hermoine but not Belle. They’ve could’ve chosen anyone else to play Belle. Preferably, someone who looks like she is very kind and gentle.

Now, I’m not saying all of these things to pick on Emma Watson. I just think that there are better women who could’ve played Belle. For example, the woman who played Belle in Once Upon a Time. She looks/feels/is a very classy, elegant, and kind person. Perfect for the role of Belle. If they chose her to play Belle in this movie, I would’ve died and gone to heaven.

  • beauty and the beast director: ok this is it, it's time to work on developing the ballroom scene and its associated costumes. the most iconic, memorable and visually stunning parts in the original movie that helped relaunch animation as a serious medium. you thought Lily James's Cinderella dress was breathtaking? we're gonna take that to a whole new level with belle's iconic yellow ballgown. nothing could possibly fuck this up!

From EW Nov 2016: As a child, Emma Watson watched Disney’s 1991 animated classic Beauty and the Beast more times than she can recall and regarded the film’s book-obsessed heroine, Belle, as a role model. “There was something about her indignation and rebelliousness which I really loved, to be honest,” she says. “It troubles her that she doesn’t necessarily fit in, but I think she really holds close to her heart her dreams and her aspirations. She was definitely a role model.”

A quarter of a century on from the original film’s release, Watson is playing Belle in Disney’s live-action remake (out March 17) which costars Dan Stevens as The Beast, Kevin Kline as Belle’s father, Maurice, Luke Evans as Gaston, and Josh Gad as Le Fou, among others. But the actress’s fondness for the original character has not prevented the Harry Potter star from changing the part to make her more proactive and realistic. In the original film, for example, it is Maurice who is the inventor of the family while, in the new version, that character trait has been co-opted for Belle. “We tried to tweak things to make her more proactive, and a bit less carried along by the story,” she says, “and a bit more in charge of — and in control of — her own destiny.”

Watson also made sure that her character’s clothes and footwear were appropriate for Belle’s assorted activities and adventures. “She’s very practical, she’s a very good horse-rider” says the actress. “She always has these pockets on her where she’s carrying tools and books. In the movie, she wears these little ballet shoes, and I knew that they had to go, because if you’re going to ride a horse, and tend your garden, and fix machinery, then you need to be in proper boots. So, Belle’s got proper boots, and she’s got pockets which sit outside of her skirt that kind of works like a tool belt, and she’s also got bloomers on underneath all of her skirts, so she can get on and off a horse and she can run. She looks quite grounded and earthy and practical, as far as possible.”

That practicality even extended to the shoes Watson’s character wears in the ballroom sequence during which Belle and the Beast fall deep in love. “Well, they’re more difficult [to wear than boots], but much easier than any other high heel I’ve ever had to wear,” she says. “I can run in them, I can do stuff in them. They don’t have a stiletto heel or anything like that. They’re kind of a traditional court shoe. We actually had them made by a dance company, so that you are able to do things in them, because Belle goes into the final act of the movie with those shoes, so we wanted to make sure she looked like she could run.”

Watson is keen to point out that the film is essentially the vision of its director and co-writer, Bill Condon (Dreamgirls, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Parts 1 & 2). But the changes do dovetail with Watson’s hope that Belle be the best role model to the many young girls destined to see the film, just as she has tried to be a positive influence away from movies. In recent years, the actress has become a public promoter of gender equality and in 2014 was appointed a U.N. Women Goodwill Ambassador.

“It’s interesting because it’s sort of made my role as an actor more complicated,” says Watson of her activism. “Obviously, in this capacity, I’m not being employed as a script writer, I’m not in charge of the narrative, I’m not director, I’m not the editor. But I obviously have very strong views, and opinions, and those are personal, but I also have very strong views, and opinions, about my character and making that work. So, it’s been interesting to come back to being an actress post-activism and trying to reconcile those two very different roles. But I think Belle as a character represents a woman who is willing to stand outside of what is expected of her, and chase her dreams, chase her intuition, and I think that that will really resonate and really appeal.”

She says she saw Belle as a good role model when she was growing up. And yet she made so many changes so that “Belle can be the best role model to the many young girls”. Seriously?

Emma doesn’t seem to realize that her activism and her career don’t have to be intertwined in such a big way. Or she knows and she’s just using the movie to further her feminist agenda.

Why am I not surprised by this? Actors interpret their characters all the time, but in the way they see how their character should be. Emma is interpreting Belle as herself. That’s not acting, that’s projecting. She needs to get over herself. Belle was already independent and a bookworm. You don’t have to be fixing machinery to be seen as a strong female character. She’s basically saying Belle was too “girly” to be a feminist, which in and of itself is a sexist statement. She already ruined Hermione for me, please don’t ruin my favourite princess now. 😒

“The opening number is a perfect example of that dichotomy, because on the face of it it’s a very exciting, happy song, but there’s a lot of melancholy in it as well,” [Justin Hurwitz] says. You’ll find that melancholy right there in the title: “Another Day of Sun.” It’s upbeat, but there’s something a little weary about it too.
For lyricists Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, that push-and-pull informed their approach. “What Damien inspired us to capture was that there’s this difference between L.A. and New York,” Paul explained. “In New York, you grind and grind to pursue your dreams and accomplish what you’re hoping to accomplish, and you get up the next day and it’s muddy and gross and the snow is just turned to black ice.”
Meanwhile, L.A. may also be a constant struggle, but it’s also constant blue skies. “You pursue that dream, and you go to bed and get up the next day, and it’s a gorgeous day,” Paul says. “It encourages you in one breath, and in another breath doesn’t acknowledge that you just failed miserably. You wake up and it doesn’t match your mood. It’s a bright and shiny day. And you’re like, ‘Wait a second!”
