Why You Should Go See the New Live-Action Beauty and the Beast

A Tale As Old Time

Why You Should Go See the New Live-Action Beauty and the Beast

It’s a great remake

The directors did stay as true to the original story as they could. Of course, with every remake a few changes do have to be made, but with this film, the changes made it better. Belle is reimagined as an inventor like her father. And we finally find out what happened to Belle’s mom! The question we have asked ourselves when we were young is answered, but with a sad twist. But even if you have not seen the original film in a few years, this remake makes the whole story come back alive and you will be surprised that you remember all the songs.

Belle

She is the main character after all, but Emma Watson gave her a new image. Belle has always been the strong and mainly underappreciated princess among others. Emma gave Belle’s character a new image which made us remember how amazing she really is. Belle is the one who dares to think differently than those in her village, not to mention she traded her life for her father when he is imprisoned by the Beast. She shows a level of compassion towards the Beast when no one is able to look past his appearance and temper.

The Cast

Let’s face it, Emma Watson has been the perfect live-action Belle since we saw her as Hermione. Not once did I see her as her previous character during the film, which was a fear I had that could have taken away from the experience. And let’s not forget about Luke Evan’s Gaston. The Disney villain was reimagined into the best yet, and Luke’s performances were amazing.

Love is timeless

This is the message that the original film portrayed--I mean, it is a love story. A tale as old as time. But the remake shows that love goes beyond romance and is seen as compassion and acceptance. Its central message is that love isn’t just liking the person’s appearance but it is about loving the person’s character. Life is not about if you are pretty or beastly, but it is about how we love and care for one another.

Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is worth seeing. It is one of the best movies yet to come and a tale that has stuck with us through generations.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
