5 Reasons You Should See The New 'Beauty and the Beast'

The last scene is reason enough.

5 Reasons You Should See The New 'Beauty and the Beast'
ComicBook

When I first saw the preview for the live-action remake of “Beauty and the Beast” I honestly got chills. So many people were skeptical of this remake and don’t like the idea of Disney doing these kinds of movies. I, on the other hand, think it’s a great idea for many reasons. After watching the movie this weekend I fell in love with the story line all over again. If you haven’t seen the remake yet, here are some incentives that you probably didn’t know or think about that will make you want to see it.

The Beast’s Past

In Disney’s original version of “Beauty and the Beast” they ever so slightly explained Beast’s past and how he ended up the way he is. Now, I won’t go and tell you the new things we learn in this version, but I will let you know it truly adds to the story line. The Beast ended up being a spoiled and selfish prince because of his past, that is all I’ll spill.

Belle’s Mom

All we know from the original version is Belle’s mom passed away when she was young but Disney never explained why. In the new remake we learn so much more about her mom and the information adds such depth to the story.

Gaston Is Even Crazier

Even in the original movie, Gaston was a mean and self-centered man, but he is even worse in the remake. His behaviors and actions are over the top and I honestly think this Gaston is a better character than the original (maybe).

The Last Scene

At the end, after Beast returns to a prince and the spell is broken (not really a big spoiler) the movie goes deeper into showing all the characters' returns and their lives. I love how we get more than just a short and sweet happily ever after like the original. I felt like it really ties the whole story line together.

The Feeling Of Having Your Childhood Movie Come To Life

It seemed weird at first, going to watch a movie from my childhood with real live actors, but it was actually amazing. There's just something about seeing the magic come to life. This alone is a good enough reason to see the new “Beauty and the Beast,” and I hope you, too, get to experience this story come to life.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
