Beauty’s father is trapped in a castle by an abnormal creature. Beauty offers to replace him. Then she finds the Beast is a handsome prince.
Although it is in black and write, the striking use of light makes it seem at times like a moving painting.
Although it has neither cute characters nor wonderful songs in this version, it speaks to people of all ages. I recommend it to the whole family.

Structure Film review of Beauty and the Beast (1946) My film review of ________
Directed by Jean Cocteau;

C
A
Beauty’s father was trapped in a castle by an abnormal creature. Beauty offers to replace him. Then she found the beast is a handsome prince.
Jaws
Directed by Steven Spielberg; based on the book Jaws
A series of attacks on swimmers by a great white shark, finally, the epic attempt by three men to track the shark and kill it.
D
Although it is in black and white, the striking use of light make it seem at times like a moving painting.
Probably the most inspired piece of casting in the movie is the use of Richard Dreyfuss as the oceanographer.
B
Although it has neither cute characters nor wonderful songs in this version, it speaks to people of all ages. I recommand it to the whole family.
Jaws is a great adventure movie of the kind we don’t get very often any more. It’s clean-cut adventure without the gratuitous violence of so many action pictures.
