Beauty and the Beast

Beauty and the Beast is a romantic story. It's about a prince that has to find his true love. However, he has been turned into a beast. So, can you guess how he can break the curse? Yep, you guessed right, true love's kiss. Disney turned this story into an animated movie in 1991. Let's fast forward to 2017 as Disney decided to remake a live action version of the original animation. The main characters are the Beast and the beauty, Belle. The Beast and Belle found each other at last. Belle, being the Beast's "true love", lifted the curse that was placed on his kingdom.

Once upon a time, there was a selfish, conceited and unkind prince. An old beggar woman came, offering him a rose in exchange for shelter for the night. Unfortunately, he refused here her and even laughed at her. In that moment, the old lady's ugly appearance melted away to show her true beautiful form as the Enchantress. The prince then begged her for forgiveness, but the Enchantress rejected his plea. She cursed his kingdom and turned him into a hideous beast until he could find someone to love him in his beastly form.

The way to break the curse and turn the beast back into his handsome self was for him to find his true love before the rose's petals all fall off. After many years he found a pretty lady named Belle. At first, Belle was not comfortable in the castle with the beast, because the beast behaved really badly towards her. However, the furniture in the castle, which was all alive and could even talk like human beings, treated Belle very well. Everytime when Belle felt unhappy she would talk to the furniture. After a few weeks, Belle found that the beast is really nice, so she was not afraid to be around him. After many weeks, the Beast and Belle fell in love. However, they didn't know how to tell each other their true feelings. Gaston persuaded the village to march to the kingdom and kill the Beast.

To love a person is not just looking at the outside of the person, sometimes you have to see what's inside, then you will know that you truly love that person. I really believe this is true, especially after watching this movie. My favorite character is Belle. Belle has a strong heart, even though the Beast is really rude to her. She still tries to get close to the Beast. She knows that she loves the beast, and she knows that loving a person is not looking at the outside of him or her. The Beast is not handsome, he even looks strange, but Belle still understand its heart. This movie is suitable for families watching it together, it's a soft and lovely movie.
