5 Reasons You Should See The New 'Beauty and the Beast'

The last scene is reason enough.

When I first saw the preview for the live-action remake of “Beauty and the Beast” I honestly got chills. So many people were skeptical of this remake and don’t like the idea of Disney doing these kinds of movies. I, on the other hand, think it’s a great idea for many reasons. After watching the movie this weekend I fell in love with the story line all over again. If you haven’t seen the remake yet, here are some incentives that you probably didn’t know or think about that will make you want to see it.

The Beast’s Past

In Disney’s original version of “Beauty and the Beast” they ever so slightly explained Beast’s past and how he ended up the way he is. Now, I won’t go and tell you the new things we learn in this version, but I will let you know it truly adds to the story line. The Beast ended up being a spoiled and selfish prince because of his past, that is all I’ll spill.

Belle’s Mom

All we know from the original version is Belle’s mom passed away when she was young but Disney never explained why. In the new remake we learn so much more about her mom and the information adds such depth to the story.

Gaston Is Even Crazier

Even in the original movie, Gaston was a mean and self-centered man, but he is even worse in the remake. His behaviors and actions are over the top and I honestly think this Gaston is a better character than the original (maybe).

The Last Scene

At the end, after Beast returns to a prince and the spell is broken (not really a big spoiler) the movie goes deeper into showing all the characters' returns and their lives. I love how we get more than just a short and sweet happily ever after like the original. I felt like it really ties the whole story line together.

The Feeling Of Having Your Childhood Movie Come To Life

It seemed weird at first, going to watch a movie from my childhood with real live actors, but it was actually amazing. There's just something about seeing the magic come to life. This alone is a good enough reason to see the new “Beauty and the Beast,” and I hope you, too, get to experience this story come to life.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
