Revelatory

Rating: Null/10 (2 April 2017)

Went with my son to see a movie about a beauty and a beast not expecting to witness a film about the new American president. Only when Belle tells Gaston she cannot marry him because "there is no love in your heart" does it occur to me the Gaston character is mirror image of the current occupant of the White House. Narcissist on reveal, self centered, indifferent to others, willing to deceive, defile, deflect and behave in a categorically cruel, offensive and desultory manner, as unlikable as any villain that could possibly be depicted. Thanks to the producers for depicting a character more than vaguely familiar to American audiences. Stunning similarities unveiled artfully.
