Beauty and the Beast
Beauty and the Beast(1946),directed by Jean Cocteau, is based on① the fairy tale by Madame Le Prince de Beaumont. Jean Marais is the Beast and Josette Day is Beauty.
Beauty is one of the three daughters of a French trader. Her sisters,Felicie and Adelaide,treat Beauty as a servant. One day,Beauty’s father gets lost in the forest,but finds a strange castle,which he enters, looking for help.The owner of the castle is an abnormal creature,half-man,half-beast,who tells the trader—either one of his daughters replaces him as a prisoner in the castle,or he will die.[1]Beauty offers to replace her father and be trapped in the castle. In the end,she discovers the Beast is not as awful and cruel as he seems. In fact,he is a handsome prince.
The film deals with② the theme of appearances in a very interesting and clever manner.In one vivid scene,Beauty looks in the mirror and her face is transformed into the Beast’s.[2]The film also uses some clever special effects. For example,the whispering furniture is as frightening as anything in modern films. The film does,however,have its faults. The voice of the Beast is rather strange,and the lovers flying at the end is a bit silly.All things considered,though [3],it must be one of the most beautiful and splendid films ever made. Although it is in black and white,the striking③ use of light makes it seem at times like a moving painting.
Beauty and the Beast conveys a message that should be clear to all of us—you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.[4]Although it has neither cute characters nor wonderful songs in this version,it speaks to people of all ages. I recommend it for the whole family.
