The Iconic Rose Drops the Mic

Rating: 9/10 (6 April 2017)

The "little town" and "quiet village" have jumped to worldwide fame. With a fantastic cast and a well-loved original, expectations raised to breaking point. My favorite parts of this remade fantasy, which successfully combined the old plot with new elements, were the excellent singing and the believable romantic relationship.
I hardly ever cry at movies, but I did during Beauty and the Beast. The songs -"Belle," "Beauty and the Beast," and "Something There," to name a few - powerfully resonate with the beautiful voices of the well-chosen cast members. The song "If I Can't Love Her" was especially moving as the Beast frees Belle and watches her run away.
I was really glad that the bond between Beauty and the Beast seemed to form a real relationship. In the old movie, it almost seems that they avoid one another and they do not talk much. In the remake, they seem to really get along together and boost each other up: the beast takes Belle to her old home and grants her freedom, and Belle reads to the Beast and nurtures him back to health.
Sometimes the conversations in the movie seem a little stilted and awkward. However, the overall connection between Beauty and the Beast overcomes these brief moments, and it is believable that both would risk death for the other. With high-quality music, casting, animation, character roles, and acting, this movie concocted a brilliant performance at which anyone would love to "be a guest."
