Why You Should Go See the New Live-Action Beauty and the Beast

It’s a great remake

The directors did stay as true to the original story as they could. Of course, with every remake a few changes do have to be made, but with this film, the changes made it better. Belle is reimagined as an inventor like her father. And we finally find out what happened to Belle’s mom! The question we have asked ourselves when we were young is answered, but with a sad twist. But even if you have not seen the original film in a few years, this remake makes the whole story come back alive and you will be surprised that you remember all the songs.

Belle

She is the main character after all, but Emma Watson gave her a new image. Belle has always been the strong and mainly underappreciated princess among others. Emma gave Belle’s character a new image which made us remember how amazing she really is. Belle is the one who dares to think differently than those in her village, not to mention she traded her life for her father when he is imprisoned by the Beast. She shows a level of compassion towards the Beast when no one is able to look past his appearance and temper.

The Cast

Let’s face it, Emma Watson has been the perfect live-action Belle since we saw her as Hermione. Not once did I see her as her previous character during the film, which was a fear I had that could have taken away from the experience. And let’s not forget about Luke Evan’s Gaston. The Disney villain was reimagined into the best yet, and Luke’s performances were amazing.

Love is timeless

This is the message that the original film portrayed--I mean, it is a love story. A tale as old as time. But the remake shows that love goes beyond romance and is seen as compassion and acceptance. Its central message is that love isn’t just liking the person’s appearance but it is about loving the person’s character. Life is not about if you are pretty or beastly, but it is about how we love and care for one another.

Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is worth seeing. It is one of the best movies yet to come and a tale that has stuck with us through generations.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
