First, let's talk about the appearance and lineup of this movie against the sky:
In fact, for us fans who have (zhi) review (kan) beauty (lian), this Douban netizen's most simple comment on [Beauty and the Beast] really said Yan Control's voice:
Looks are justice!
The heroine of this film, Emma Watson, born as a child star, played Hermione when she was a child, played Belle when she grew up, and what is more rare is that her appearance value remained at its peak for ten years:
Spirituality in the [Harry Potter] period:
The little sexiness and little willfulness in [Wallflower Boy]:
Intellectual Beauty in [Beauty and the Beast]:
And the male protagonist of this film, the eldest cousin of the neighbor, Dan Stevens, gained a group of cousins for his performance in [Downton Abbey]:
The recent american drama [Daqun] shows what it is like to be a high-value schizophrenic patient:
This time, he starred as the cursed prince turned into a beast, and this time the beast picture in the movie was actually created entirely by CG, and the big cousin had to wear a huge special beast suit that captured the action: a fiber suit weighing 18 kilograms.
Although it was a little wasted of her own appearance, every time she thought of the perfect face of the big cousin under this terrible skin bag, it could make every girl's heart explode on the spot.
▲ Complaints from big cousin fans
In the 1991 classic version of the anime, in addition to The Beauty and the Beast's interpretation of the thrilling human-beast love, the unfortunate servants in the castle who follow the prince's curse into furniture are also a source of laughter in the animation: and this time, the actors of these furniture can be called the highest specifications of the corrupt country:
The live-action version of the fireplace clock butler Ge Shihua is played by rotten country good friend Ian McLean. This is the first time Grandpa Ian, who has played Gandalf and Magneto, has worked with Disney.
In fact, Disney had invited him to voice the 1991 animated version of Butler, but he refused, and grandpa, who finally played the Clock Butler after 26 years, quipped:
When I knew I was interpreting the clock, I tried so hard for them to let me sing a song in the movie, so I kept humming and singing when I was dubbing, trying to get the staff to realize my potential, but unfortunately, in the end, I could only sing with everyone.
▲ Grandpa is going to be played badly
In addition to the old naughty boy Grandpa Ian, in the live-action version of the clock butler good friend Candlestick Lumia is the rotten country little cute Ivan McGregor. For this role, Ivan found it hardest to say the pure French accent:
Coincidentally, the much-talked-about "Guess the Train 2" starring him also landed in North America today (March 17):
In addition to the rotten handsome guys who joined, the actor of Mrs. Teacup in this film is also very promising, she is Emma Thompson who won the 65th Oscar for [Howard Manor] and then won the 68th Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay with [Reason and Emotion]:
In this movie, Teapot Mrs. Emma Thompson sang the classic theme song of the same name [beauty and the beast] for the plot of Beauty and the Beast Dancing, which is the most interesting and moving song in the live-action version of [Beauty and the Beast], which you can click to listen to:

Although over the years, Emma Thompson's roles have been dominated by green leaves, but her strong acting skills can often make a deep impression as soon as she appears:
Professor Sybil Trelawney in [Harry Potter].
In addition, in the animated version, there is no piano character, and in this live-action version, the piano that accompanies beauty and the beast when dancing is also the furniture of the cursed servant, played by Stanley Tuzi. His best-known role is that of a fashion editor in The Queen Who Wears Prada.

In addition to the protagonist and furniture, the live-action version of Belle's father is played by Kevin Klein, who won the 61st Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for [A Fish Called Wanda]. The live-action version of Belle's father is a painter, which is also different from the original inventor setting:
In addition, this live-action version of [Beauty and the Beast] is a musical film like the animated version, except for the male and female protagonists who are struggling to sing:
Emma Watson once wrote on her Facebook: "I have to dance in [Beauty and the Beast] and Sing "Something there", which for me is a great leap forward, like watching my six-year-old self excitedly start taking music lessons, I can't wait to see the results."
The eldest cousin of the male protagonist said: Fortunately, I have a jazz musician wife who teaches music, she helped me sing in auditions, and was taught by the royal conservatory teacher, although I have also sung in opera and TV series, but I have never performed so professionally.
Other supporting characters also have great singing skills:
Of all the actors, the strongest singing power should be the only villain of the film who has played [The Hobbit]: Luke Evans, who played the narcissistic guy Gaston, who was famous in the London opera world in his early days:
Josh Gard, who plays Gaston Jr. and BenLevo, is also a well-known voice and stage actor, and his most famous role should belong to Snow treasure in [Frozen]:
Gaston and the little heel Ben Lefou

Just such a cute and harmonious set photo will vividly show the anti-heavenly appearance of this film:
Here's a full cast list:
Wanting to hold so many actors, the test for the director and screenwriter of this film is not small.
The live-action version of Beauty and the Beast is directed by Bill Condon, who has directed Twilight, and the writer is Stephen Cheposki, the screenwriter of "Wallflower Boy" who has worked with Emma Watson. This wallflower teenager of that year has already made this screenwriter get many nominations:
It is also worth mentioning that the music of this live-action version was composed by Alan Mangken, who composed the music for the 91 animated version of "Beauty and the Beast". You know, he already won the 64th Academy Award for Best Original Score and Best Original Song with the animated version of "Beauty and the Beast".
The most recognizable song of the year was "How Does A Moment Last Forever" by Celine Dion, composed by Alan Manken and lyrics by Tim Rice, a Broadway gold medal lyricist who wrote the lyrics for [The Lion King].
This time Master Allen re-recorded the original song for the film and also wrote some new songs for the film with Tim Rice. Celine, who entered the music scene in early 1991, sang for the animation and won the Grammys with this song. After 26 years, she has become a legend in the music industry, and this time, she has re-sung the song for the live-action animation.
Next, please click on this classic song, let Xiao E take everyone to talk: what is the fairy tale that brings many superstars together to play?
How Does A Moment Last ForeverCéline Dion - Beauty and the Beast (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
In order to avoid some children with childhood who have not heard of this fairy tale, let Xiao E, who has done his homework in advance, give you a make-up lesson and talk about the origin of the story about "Beauty and the Beast".
As far as fairy tales are concerned, [Beauty and the Beast] is not as simple as everyone thinks, and it has appeared in several versions:
The earliest version appeared in 1740 and was written by the Frenchman Gabriel Susan Balbert de Villeneuve.
In this version of the story, the prince was entrusted by the queen to the care of a bad fairy since childhood. As a result, this bad fairy coveted the beauty of the prince, and the seduction turned the prince into a beast. Beloved by the prince, Belle is a princess born to a king and a good fairy, and the bad fairy, fearing that Belle has ruined her good deeds, arranges for Belle to be adopted by a merchant.
▲ In order to maximize the restoration, this live-action version
The film was set in France, the birthplace of the story
Probably because of the abandonment of the first story, for the sake of evil and evil has no connotation, in 1756 another French novelist, Jeanne Marie L. de Beaumont rewrote the story. Perhaps because Jenny is a governess, this fairy tale adds a didactic and feminist connotation:
In the second version, Belle becomes the daughter of a middle-class businessman. On the eve of the French Revolution, people's disgust with aristocratic privileges was added to this fairy tale, belle's father did not hesitate to pay money to bring teachers to his daughter, and it was also a microcosm of the progressive women who began to demand the right to education and employment.
▲ Best-selling story author: Madame Bomont
This version is also the most popular version so far, and later film and television works are mostly based on the story of this version.
In 1946, the French director and screenwriter Jean Guccideau launched [Beauty and the Beast] based on this version, probably because the film was too early, on the one hand, it could not make more breakthroughs in the later stages, on the other hand, it may also be because no one has seen it, anyway, this film is not famous.
▲ 1946 [Beauty and the Beast]
What really makes the story of "Beauty and the Beast" a household name is this classic animation produced by Disney in 1991: [Beauty and the Beast]. As Disney's 30th animated feature film, Disney hired nearly 600 animators and technicians to create it in 3.5 years.
And this kind of effort has also paid off, [Beauty and the Beast] got a number of firsts:
The first animated film to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture
The first animated film to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture (Musical Comedy).
The first animated film to gross more than $100 million in North America
The first Disney animation to be adapted into a Broadway musical
This time, the live-action version of [Beauty and the Beast] stands on the shoulders of such a superb original version to adapt, and the pearl jade is in front, and it is indeed branded with quality assurance.
In addition to inviting 22 nominations and 16 winning bids at various awards around the world over the years, Disney has won 3 Oscar nominations, and jacqueline Durran, the super-bad costume designer of 2013 who won the best costume design of 2013 with [Anna Karenina], created the costume for the film:

This film still put a lot of effort into post-production:
Among them, the most touching thing for fans is the live-action version of the animation scene God restoration:
For example, the narcissistic scene of the male second Gaston talking to himself in the mirror:
There is also a scene of Gaston's self-confidence inflated after the song and dance:
Even the look of the little teacup is similar:
And the most classic scene in the original book: beauty and the beast dancing, although the level of live-action dancing can certainly not reach the same smooth and flawless as in the animation production, but the performance of Emma Watson and the big cousin is still remarkable, and it can be regarded as the maximum restoration of the original version.
As we said earlier, the big cousin has to wear 18 kilograms of fiber suit to perform, so the big cousin said in the interview program of the United States Today that the scene of dancing with the beautiful woman is the most embarrassing and hard for him, because Emma wearing a gorgeous dress scene is also particularly beautiful, but only he wears an untimely and bulky dress that is completely incompatible with the scene, and he dances sweatily, but fortunately, after the post-production of the technicians, especially the delicacy of the beast's hair and pores, Make the eldest cousin feel that everything is worth it:
Therefore, in the end, let Little E give you a look at the necessity of watching the IMAX version of this film:
In fact, this live-action version of the big movie was already filmed on August 27, 2015, but at this time there are more than 18 months before the release time, which shows that the crew has done enough work in the presentation effect of the film IMAX:
When these exquisite intentions in the movies mentioned above are screened on the IMAX big screen, they can be perfectly presented. Because the entire film of the IMAX 3D version of [Beauty and the Beast] is presented in a full-frame format, this means that when watching the IMAX version, you can enjoy 26% more detail than the ordinary theater screen through the full screen of "Standing on top of the sky".
As for other more restoration scenes, please click on the following video, and you will feel the shock of Xiao E when watching the film:

“
As we joked at the beginning of the article, Emma Watson gave up the opportunity to be a movie queen because of such a classic adaptation, so is such a classic from 26 years ago really necessary to be released today in 2017?
In fact, the reason why the heroine Emma took over the film has already reflected the necessity of this film from the front:
About the feminist narrative perspective of this film.
On the one hand, in the film, Belle is a new-age woman who pursues equality between men and women, physical and mental freedom, and is incompatible with the whole village. On the other hand, in order to avoid people's doubts about the original Stockholm syndrome, the producers increased their efforts to render the equal posture between beauty and the beast, which seriously upgraded the feminist color of the film.
In addition, Belle's role of Emma Watson has been the spokesperson for "feminism" in addition to being a bully over the years: in the list of the top five feminists in Hollywood, Emma ranks third after Amy Pole and Beyoncé. A few years ago, Emma had just been appointed Un Women's Goodwill Ambassador and delivered an impassioned speech calling for women to be equal to men in political, economic and social status.
Emma participates in United Nations meetings
The live-action version of [Beauty and the Beast], from a movie's point of view, does have its own part of the problem:
For example, the plot is slightly less creative:
Little E, however, thinks privately that the problem of excluding [Beauty and the Beast] itself is not a matter of itself.
Disney, the leading leader in the film and television industry, is willing to add such values such as women's equal rights to film and television works, which is a very meaningful thing. Due to the specificity of Disney's audience, the radiation of these values will extend to include children of all ages and genders.
Compared with the "fifty degrees black" that was popular in North America in the same period, this kind of proposition overbearing president fell in love with me when he went on me, bought a gift to apologize for the brainless film after finishing, filmed one after another, two or three or completed with set shots. In addition to the infuriating attitude of the crew towards the film, the vulgar values conveyed by this series of films are even more chilling.
Imagine if one day as long as you shoot "truth, goodness and beauty" will be scolded, then for such a world, fans may also become a derogatory term?!
