Beauty and the Beast A beautiful enchantress cloaked as an old beggar woman arrives at a castle during a ball and offers the host, a cruel and selfish prince, a rose in return for shelter from a storm. When he refuses, she reveals her identity. As punishment for the prince's lack of compassion, the enchantress transforms him into a beast and his servants into household objects. She casts a spell on the rose and warns the prince that the spell will only be broken if he learns to love another, and earn their love in return before the last petal falls, or he will remain a beast forever. Some years later, in the small town of Villeneuve, Belle, the book-loving daughter of an inventor named Maurice, dreams of adventure.

Beauty and the Beast

A
beautiful
enchantress cloaked as an
old
beggar woman arrives at a castle during a ball and offers the host, a cruel and selfish prince, a
rose
in
return
for shelter from a storm. When he refuses, she reveals her identity. As punishment for the prince's lack of compassion, the enchantress transforms him into a
beast
and his
servants
into household objects. She casts a spell on the
rose
and warns the prince that the spell will
only
be broken
if he learns to
love
another, and earn their
love
in
return
before
the last petal falls, or he will remain a
beast
forever.

Some

small
town of
Villeneuve
, Belle, the book-loving daughter of an inventor named Maurice, dreams of adventure. She
constantly
brushes off advances from Gaston as he is not the type of
man
Belle wishes to marry. On Maurice's way to a convention and lost in the forest, he seeks refuge in the Beast's castle,

happily
.

Perspective-

When I was a child I
used
to take this story of
love
as a
fairytale
but
there is always
some
kind of perception inside ‘’
love
is
only
about looks what one has”.
But
I
usually
got
fascinated by the romantic movies as I
used
to
think
love
is all about romance and caring for each
other
. When we all were child we didn't
knew
What is
love
? Right. This movie
show
that
love
is one of the most
beautiful
feelings in the world.
.
.
.
Love
is one such feeling that can
be expressed
in endless ways
yet
, cannot
be defined
completely in words
but
all I can say is
that is
love
is to give away everything, to sacrifice everything, without the slightest desire to
get
anything in
return
. When I
got
matured I felt that “
intelligency
, inner-beauty are far more precious than looks what one perceives”.
But
nowadays,
people
consider
love
as to fulfill her desires
instead
people
should have a
platonic
bond between each
other
. You all have heard about Krishna and
Radha
?
right
.
For instance
Radha
and
Krishan
also
share
love
which is
platonic
. Through Belle and
also
from my point of view, the
Beast
comes
to understand that life is precious and meant to
be cherished
and shared. Life and his place in it is not a commodity to
be consumed
and waste forever.
.


At
last I
want to convey that we should always value inward characteristics such as kindness over
other
superficial qualities. In this movie Belle valued the inward characteristics of
Beast
, and fell in
love
with him despite his outward appearances
that is
what we all called “
love
”….
