Romanticising Stokholm Syndrome

Rating: 8/10 (20 March 2019)

Almost identical to the original animated movie that I loved as a child but they have made the songs unnecessarily longer and added new ones. However, now I am grown I can see that this is a toxic storyline. The fact that Beast starts out as a selfish personality with anger issues and imprisons Belle should mean the story should be about Belle running away from him and rejecting all the rubbish suitors in the story not about captor and prisoner falling in love with a little beastiality thrown in. I think if Emma couldn't sing in tune they should have allowed a few dud notes, got an actress that can sing or got Emma to mime someone elses voice but the auto-tuner sounds sooo awful. Producers have done this in several films now and it's horrible. Emma does act Belle very well! All that said, it is my guilty pleasure and I still love the film. Don't judge me.
