Another version of "Beauty and the Beast" ended in true love, and in the midst of the song and dance, some chaotic "evil" thoughts suddenly appeared in my mind: If the beast did not have a castle, if Bell was the beast, how could this fairy tale about true love be written?

If the beast didn't have a castle
A small friend on the Internet summed up the three steps of the Beast to win Bell's wife chase:
Step 1: Heroes save america. Bell fled late at night to meet the wolves, and the beast appeared in time to save Belle, seriously injured.
Step 2: Do what you like. Bell loved to read, and the Beast not only chatted with her about Shakespeare, but also gave her a library of great luxury. As for the luxurious life of brocade clothes, clothes to reach out, and food to open the mouth, these are the basic standards that are not worth mentioning.
Step 3: Realize your dreams. Bell has a big world in his heart, and the magic mirror of the beast can help Bell realize his dreams, go anywhere he wants, and let Bell return to his childhood home, solve the mystery of his mother's death, and open the knot in his heart.
From material, to spiritual, to dream, the beast can meet Bell's needs in all aspects. When the spark of love blooms in Bell's eyes, the ugly appearance of the beast will also be cute. At the end of the film, Bell dances with the handsome prince who has regained his human form and says, "I miss your beard." "What Bell misses most in his heart may always be the original appearance of the beast?"
But what if the beast didn't have a castle? Can it still get Bell's favor?
Is the question too realistic and unlikable? Maybe a friend will immediately cite the Russian movie "He is a Dragon" that became popular last year to let me not worry about the sky. "He is a Dragon" can be described as the Russian version of "Beauty and the Beast". However, the beast here is a vicious dragon named Arman. Yes, Arman did not have a castle, but there were countless shipwrecks near the islands where he lived, and the vast ocean buried endless wealth, and beautiful women could fish from the seabed as much as they wanted, and arrange the caves into romantic palaces. When Arman transforms into a human form, he is not only handsome to the point of being unmatched in the world, but also can use the special skills of the dragon to conjure up flower rain for her, drive her soaring in the sky, and all kinds of romantic tricks that can conquer the girl's heart can take her to play with a poop. Compared to the beast, I think Bell would rather meet Arman himself.
In fact, there is a classic story in "Grimm's Fairy Tales", which can be counted as the "realistic version" of "Beauty and the Beast", and the "beast" in this is the real extreme poverty class, and this story is "The Frog Prince". The storyline must be familiar to everyone. The same prince, the same cursed animal turned ugly, the same to get the true love of the beautiful woman to lift the curse, there is also a "hero to save the beauty" action - the frog prince is to dive into the waterhole to retrieve the little princess's beloved golden ball, but the treatment of the two is very different. The little princess threw down the frog when she got the golden ball, and finally in a fit of rage, grabbed it and threw it against the wall, completely ignoring its life or death. Compared to the beast, what the frog lacks is only a castle. The beast can make beauty dress up like a princess, can be a luxurious library with one hand, can use the magic mirror to take beauty to see the world at will, and the frog only has a well. In the version I first saw as a child, the plot behind "The Frog Prince" also confirmed the importance of "castle". The frog was not thrown to death, but landed on the ground and became a handsome teenager, revealing the identity of the prince, so that "the prince and the princess have lived happily ever since." Such a plot twist, may not even know how to transition well, the little princess can never like an ugly frog, can only be forced to let the frog itself change back, quoted as follows:
Upon hearing this, the little princess was furious, grabbed the frog and threw it against the wall.
'Now go to sleep if you want, you ugly nasty ghost!' '
Who knew that as soon as he landed, he was no longer a frog, but suddenly he became a prince: a prince with bright eyes and a smile. ......”
Of course, there is also a version of the story where the princess kisses the frog to make him turn back into a prince, but the basic plot is unchanged. The princess got the golden ball and threw the frog away, and the frog revealed her identity, indicating that only the princess's kiss could lift the spell and fulfill her wish. Under such a premise, the princess kissed, in fact, is not simply a frog.
If beauty is the beast
If it was a beautiful woman who turned into a beast, could she wait until the prince's true love?
This seems to be a more unpleasant question than the previous one, and the fairy tale also avoids answering. In fairy tales, there are many beautiful women who are cursed but get true love, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, rapunzel, they have their own misfortunes, but without exception they have never lost their beauty, even Cinderella, the fairies also dressed her up more than the princess before letting her shine in front of the prince. Think of the so-called "evil" witches, who are actually quite kind, and there are two things they never take very righteously, one is the beauty of the girl, and the other is the wealth of the prince. Some people divide the Disney princesses according to the age of the Disney movie shooting. Bell in Beauty and the Beast, considered the most feminist-minded new age princess, dares to challenge the world's vision and fall in love with the beast. But after all, these fairy tales were born out of a long time, no matter how to keep pace with the times, the bones are still the traditional collocation of "male wealth and female appearance".
Perhaps Tim Burton's classic stop-motion animation film Zombie Bride is more era-conscious.
"Zombie Bride" tells the story of young Victor who inadvertently puts an engagement ring on the finger of zombie bride Emily, thus triggering a bizarre love triangle. Although the beautiful woman Emily has not become a beast, she is already a terrible zombie, not only lost her beauty, but also has no wealth that makes people shine, and there is a kind and beautiful competitor in the world - Victoria, the fiancée of the male protagonist Victor. Without the material beauty, love seems to become pure. Emily finds Victor her beloved, deceased puppy, and the two slowly communicate with each other in their love of music. After some changes, Victor finally accepts her love, and almost really drinks poisoned wine, giving up his life to fulfill his promise to "grow old with a white head".
However, Burton's films, grotesque, dark, and bizarre beauty of gothic, are often considered inappropriate for children because they are too scary, but (but his core is often warm) may be better positioned as adult fairy tales. Forests, castles, beasts, themes like Beauty and the Beast are actually very suitable for Burton. I remembered a lyric: "You cried and said to me that the stories in fairy tales are all lies." "Suddenly, I'm really looking forward to having a Burton version of Beauty and the Beast.
