My Periodical Reactions to Live Action Beauty and the Beast

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Skidmore chapter.

Before the Movie Even Starts: IM SO FRIKIN EXCITED THEY BETTER NOT RUIN THIS MOVIE FOR ME.

 

Opening Credits: I’m not crying, my eyes are watery from looking at a screen ok?

 

Also: Gaston is a lot creepier not animated. No means no, ok? CONSENT!

 

Belle’s Dad Heads into the Forest: Sh*t sh*t sh*t sh*t sh*t sh*t sh*t… Oh cool he found the palace! But also sh*t sh*t sh*t sh*t sh*t sh*t.

 

Belle Goes to the Palace: HELL YEAH GIRL YOU GO! GIRL POWER! Also they killed the animation of these inanimate objects this is dope.

 

The Beast Tries to Talk to Belle: Lol masculinity so frail dude can’t take no for an answer. Also Lumiere is my favorite character.

 

The Gaston Song: He is so extra. Lefou might be the best part of this movie. Why are these biddies eating his bullshit up, LADIES! You could do so much better than him!

 

Be Our Guest: YAS THIS IS THE BEST PART. OH MY GOD IT GOT BETTER. OH MY GOD HOW DID THEY DO THIS? I DON’T EVEN CARE THAT WOULD RUIN THE MAGIC THIS IS AMAZING! Emma Watson is so beautiful.

 

Beauty and the Beast Start Bonding: Does the beast get hotter? Do I fall in love with the Beast just like Belle does? Is this movie loosely based off my life? We’ll never know for sure.

 

The Ballroom Scene: IM SOBBING THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I’VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.

 

The Towns People Find Out the Beast: Toxic masculinity ruins the party again. (Name that podcast)

 

The Final Fight Scene: I’m so over Gaston, he’s not even hot! And he’s like high key a sociopath…

 

The Final Final Scene: This was the most beautiful movie I’ve ever seen. They tried to be diverse (there were like 6 black characters? But 2 interracial couples!), the soundtrack was on POINT, Emma Watson is a princess, Beauty and the Beast is the best movie ever.
