Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" is personally my favorite Disney Princess movie. And I, as well as I'm sure many other people, am EXTREMELY EXCITED for the live action version with Emma Watson to come out. To prepare, I have watched Disney original, animated version about 20 times in the last couple weeks. My boyfriend calls it excessive, but I call it anticipation. There are some things I started to ask myself about the movie though because some things just don't make any sense.
1. If Belle comes to town everyday to get a new book and everyone thinks she's the prettiest girl in town, HOW DOES NO ONE NOTICE SHE'S MISSING?
Like really??????? HOW DOES NO ONE NOTICE THIS IF EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE OBSESSED WITH HER?!? Please tell me!!
2. WHY DOES GASTON EVEN EXIST? LIKE SERIOUSLY, HE'S AN ASSHOLE! Also, he is definitely a liar because there is absolutely no way you can eat 5 dozen eggs every morning.
Gaston, you are seriously the worst.
3. Why is chip's chip on the left side for the first half of the movie and then all of a sudden it switches to the right side in a couple scenes?
Seriously though, does this bother anyone else? Because I literally cannot unsee this mistake.
4. If the pieces of furniture in the castle are supposed to be people, does that mean all the furniture the beast destroyed in the west wing are really a bunch of dead bodies??
This is seriously messed up if he beast murdered half the people that used to work in his castle...
5. Why does her father, Maurice, blame their horse for taking him the wrong way when he literally MADE HIM GO THAT WAY! Philipe did not want to go!!!
Their horse literally tries to back away because the path looks scary and then Maurice makes him go that way anyway. And then he has the audacity to yell at Philipe and blame him?? He literally says, "Philipe where did you take us?" MAYBE TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN CHOICES INSTEAD OF BLAMING THE ANIMAL THAT JUST COMPLIED WITH YOUR REQUEST.
6. I hate Gaston because why does he think it is okay to black mail someone into marrying him? He has clearly never heard of consent.
He literally says he's going to black mail her into marrying him by getting her father admitted into a mental institution. Consent is obviously not in Gaston's vocabulary.
Damn right! Belle isn't taking any of your shit, Gaston!
7. Also the 'Be Our Guest' song when they say 'try the grey stuff, it's delicious' is sketchy AF. If you think someone should put some mystery food in their mouth, you are clearly disturbed.
Like seriously, gross. Maybe if you tell me what it's made of?? But then I probably still wouldn't eat it.
8. Belle, how do you have to ponder if the human version of the beast is really him when you literally just saw him transform back into a human right in front of you?
Really, Belle? Seriously?? I know you were paying attention...
No matter how much I look at this movie and question some of the things that go on, I still love every bit of it, and I cannot wait to go see the new one that's coming out. And yes, I will make my boyfriend see the live action version with me in the theater as many times as I want to go.
