Disney's Beauty And The Beast : The Rose In The Phantom Of The Opera

When I was younger, me and her would always watch this film, she was completely obsessed with it. She even had Beauty and the Beast merchandise. One day I asked her, “why do you like this specific movie so much?” She replied, “because it shows me that someone ugly can also be loved.” I will not get too much into detail about this because talking about my aunt is a sensitive topic for me. Films such as this are important because they can hope to people throughout what ever situation they are facing. One could have low-esteem, depression, and can relate to the beast, but in the end, they can find love within themselves and be

In “Beauty and the Beast”, the Beauty undergoes a transformation of character. At first she does not love the beast and only considers him a friend. It is not until the end of the story where she realizes that she loves and cares for the beast. The heroine of “The Tiger’s Bride” has a change of character in the way that she did not necessarily fall in love with the tiger due to his actions but due to her own realizations about

The Beauty and the Beast starts with a lively music in the castle which immediately set us into action. A castle full of expensive housewares and beautiful ladies wearing white gowns dancing to the music represent perfection. The ball is interrupted by a knock from an unexpected beggar who offered the insensitive prince a rose for shelter. The loud thunderclap and the way the chandelier lights were blown off by the wind intensified the scene. When he refuses, the beggar transformed into an enchantress and changed him into a hideous beast and his servants into housewares. The camera angle which showed the shadow figure of the prince turning to a beast was amazingly done. She casts a spell on the rose and it would only be broken if he could learn to love another and earn their love in return by the time the last petal fell. On the other hand, Belle starts the film in a small lively village which implies peacefulness and security. Belle is a simple, creative girl wanting to leave her monotonous village life to explore new things and go to an adventure. This came true when her horse Philippe went home anxiously without Maurice, her father. The way the horse neighed repeatedly implied that something is wrong. Belle, without hesitation, stormed off to the castle where her father was imprisoned and took his place as

The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet ends with painful remorse. Withholding the secret of marriage leads to a tragic hero who tried her best, but did not succeed in the end. This story relates to the Hans Christian Anderson story of the Little Mermaid. Juliet and the Little Mermaid both had been caught up in love.

Belle’s story of living with a beast is re-evaluated, claiming that she is not as sane as she was once perceived. When Belle enters the stage in a straight jacket and tied to a chair, there is a realization that she was dealing with a mental illness the whole time, something that is prevalent in our current society. In addition, her familiar radiant yellow ball gown was concealed by the straight jacket, blocking out her previous notion of nativity with the comprehension that it is not sensible to live and interact with a talking creature. The addition to Belle’s costume demonstrates

There are many differences between Disney's film Beauty and the Beast, and "Beauty and the Beast" by Jeanne-Marie LePrince de Beaumont. The central focus of the plot is a kind-hearted "beauty" who is able to see beyond appearances and learn to love without consideration of good looks, but based on value from within. This is the same in both versions. In addition, in each version, the father innocently offends the Beast and is given a choice to pay for his offense, unless someone else will take his place.

Villeneuve’s original version of the fairytale has many differences from the film that Disney produced with Trousdale and Wise back in 1991. One of the biggest differences has to be the meaning of the rose. Jennifer Konerman, writer for The Hollywood Reporter, in the animated film, the rose stands for the amount of time the Beast has to find someone to truly love him and break the spell, but if the rose

“Beauty and The Beast” is a classic well known romantic Disney movie that depicts the gender role of men and women in society. The film is based upon a smart young female protagonist named Belle who is imprisoned by a self-centered young prince after he has been turned into a beast. They both learn to love each other in the end and throughout the film there are several examples shown portraying the roles of gender. In the film the main characters Gaston and the Beast portray themselves as rude, conceited and more important than the woman even though the main character Belle is a woman whom is considered odd, yet smart, and unrelated to most women in society.

This foregrounds potential of narcissism within Beauty. The Beast allows Beauty to go back to London to be with her father under the condition that she must return before winter is over. While in London, she, “[sends] him flowers, white roses in return for the ones he had given her; and when she left the florist, she experienced a sudden sense of perfect freedom, as if she had jus escaped from an unknown danger” (48). With this gesture, Beauty feels all her debts are settled and she no longer has an obligation to the Beast. When she puts on her robe of fur, she becomes her own beast, showing a parallel between her and the Beast.

Beauty and the Beast: another American misinterpreted folktale! But no, it’s not one may say, rather one would simply call it off as another cute Disney movie depicting a love story between a princess and a creature. However is that what everyone else sees? In the American Disney film the motif of the beautiful maiden, forbidden to look upon her lover, “a universal literary occurrence,” is presented. Foreign to the story, in terms of such a public stage, and too blinded by the impression of love, America and other patrons of the Disney stories cling to the folktale.

Poor relationship with her father, the heroine here has more pride and anger than Beauty. Like the other female protagonists, this heroine is initially treated as an object to be manipulated and gambled away. The Beast in this version is associated with a tiger, a reminder of the heroine’s mother in “The Bloody Chamber.” He also lives on a threshold between the worlds of wild animals and humans. The heroine’s longing for the wild innocence of horses prefigures her later transformation.

A few weeks before summer ended, a movie called Descendants, a new film by Disney, would be coming out soon. The story centers around the exiled children of defeated villains who are invited by the son of King Beast and Queen Belle, from the movie Beauty and The Beast, to attend a prep school with the children of Disney heroes. However, the main reason that these four teens’ parents allow them to go is because of their secret intentions. They are supposed to steal a cherished, magic wand that could either lead to the salvation or the destruction of the kingdom. Soon after discovering that their classmates and the citizens of the kingdom are not as bad as they were led to believe by

Her objectification continues until the end of the story. She says, “The six of us, mounts and riders both-could boast amongst us not one soul, either, since all the best religions in the world state categorically that not beasts nor women were equipped with the flimsy, insubstantial things ….” (Carter, 44), contending that men see women as soulless, just as they see animals soulless. She feels that the men who claim to possess souls consider her as nothing more than an item of physical worth and that is why she calls them “flimsy” and “insubstantial”. When the heroine says that she is no longer resembles the soubrette, she begins to claim her own desires, meaning that she can no longer submit to society’s female stereotypes. She declares, “I will dress her in my own clothes, wind her up, send her back to perform the part of my father’s daughter.” (Carter, 46). Through the symbol of the soubrette, Carter shows the reader that this view of women weakens the character and prevents her from fulfilling her potential. Thus, “The Tiger’s Bride”, the heroine must accept the animal in nature in herself and in the Beast, in order to be free of the human world

The Phantom of the Opera directed by Joel Schumacher is the 2004 adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 1986 musical of the same name. The Phantom of the Opera stars Gerard Butler as the Phantom, Emmy Rossum as Christine Daaé, and Patrick Wilson as Raoul, the Vicomte de Chagny, who are embroiled in a love triangle. The film was met with generally mixed and negative reviews: Schumacher’s use of mise-en-scène, cinematography and editing, as well as symbolism contributes to the production of The Phantom of the Opera.

Beauty and the Beast is a tale that describes the true meaning of family, and the sacrifices that occur. Beauty makes a lot of sacrifices throughout the tale for the purpose of family, unlike her two older sisters. “Beauty got up every day at four in the morning and started cleaning the house and preparing breakfast for the family. It was hard at first, because she was not used to working like a servant.”
