Beauty And The Beast: Movie Analysis

260 Words1 Page

According to Jeffords, Disney changes the fairy tale in its film version of Beauty and the Beast. This film has had countless number of changes since this fairy tale first came out. One major change was inanimate objects came to life. This is a difference because in the older versions of Beauty and the Beast, the Beast is isolated in his castle and he fulfilled all of Beauty's need by enchanted magic. I believe that this change is significant in this film. This is because it takes away from the Beasts power. In the older versions this shows that the Beast really cares about Beauty and will do anything to help her fulfill her needs. In Disney's version they took this out. They made it so the Beast was less powerful, making him come off as week.

  • The Princess Bride Analysis

    1246 Words  | 3 Pages

    Satire criticises and makes fun of the norms of human society. It adds an intellectual humour along with the archetypes that is present in the story. In The Princess Bride, by William Goldman, satire is in a wide variety of parts in the story from the communication between others to the character themselves including the Spaniard, Inigo Montoya. The author portrays Inigo as a Spaniard who becomes a fencer to seek revenge on the six-fingered man for the murder of his father, Domingo Montoya and he becomes a henchman to the criminal Vizzini. He is a very caring man to people he cares about, but he can only act on vengeance since he truly loves his father. With his attention only on reprisal, it can blind him from achieving the results he wants and that can significantly affect his personality as he is driven by it. When he finds the six-fingered man, he prepares after many years of training with famous fencers and even has a saying that he plants in his brain so that it is the driven force of vengeance. He is the ‘evil figure with an ultimately good heart’ archetype as he is a part of Vizzini’s group with Fezzik, but he has a change in heart that he needs Westley’s help to storm the castle. Although Inigo is a prestigious fencer who only cares about revenge, the author plays with satirical devices that portray the faults and weaknesses of his characteristics while maintaining his status as the best swordsman in his generation.

  • Analysis Of Thelma And Louise

    1306 Words  | 3 Pages

    The mindset of white liberal feminists contributes to the omission of other women in their fight for individual rights. Thelma and Louise (1991) is an example of how white liberal feminism can illustrate and advocate for the liberation of women whilst excluding other women of different races, classes, and other given circumstances that don’t fall into the typical white heteronormative narrative. The film shows a one-sided account of establishing individual rights as a woman. While the film shows the liberation of Thelma and Louise from the oppressive men in their lives, in the following I will discuss how the exclusion of people of color in the film establishes that liberation is exclusively for one “kind” of women. I will show how the subjects

  • My Mise-En-Scene Analysis: American Beauty

    500 Words  | 1 Pages

    My Mise-en-scene analysis is on American Beauty on page 217: number 1(The dinner scene). The frame itself is a very closed, tight shot; there is no way for the characters to escape and they're left with only confronting each other in this very little space. The shot of the camera isn't necessarily far away or close either. It's neutral, and we can see the full action of the family's dinner conversation happening right in front of us. My eyes were immediately attracted to the bright, white table and then my eyes focused on the faces of the family. The scene's texture is slightly fuzzy, and is not very detailed. But the character's faces are still recognizable. The foreground of this scene is the table with the man and woman sitting at each end; the middle is the girl-who is

    266 Words  | 1 Pages

    Alice Sebold’s novel The Lovely Bones is a hauntingly beautiful story of a 14-year old girl Susie Salmon and her murder, that the reader won’t want to put down. Sebold demonstrates how everyone in the Salmon family copes with loss in their own way. She also illustrates the struggle that Susie has coming to grips with her own death. The film, however, is different. As the novel was transferred from paper to film Peter Jackson the director let key components of the book get lost in translation. The movie does a disservice to the book because the adaptation of the film weakened the novel’s narrative

    Beauty and the Beast is a traditional fairy tale written by French novelist Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve and published in 1740 in La Jeune Américaine et les contes marins. Her lengthy version was abridged, rewritten, and published by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont in 1756 in Magasin des enfants to produce the version most commonly retold. In France, for example, Zémire et Azor is an operatic version of the story, written by Marmontel and composed by Grétry in 1771, which had enormous success well into the 19th century; it is based on the second version of the tale. Amour pour amour, by Nivelle de la Chaussée, is a 1742 play based on Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve's version. According to researchers at universities in

  • Cats Movie Analysis

    754 Words  | 2 Pages

    The movie I watched is CATS. I watched it in my home around 3:45pm on 21st September 2015. The movie is about a tribe of cats call “Jellicle Tribe”, who meet once a year at the Jellicle Ball, where they rejoice with their leader. Only one cat will be selected by the leader to go to the Heaviside Layer to be reborn and come back with a different life during the ball. My favorite scene is where they find Mr. Mistoffelees, where he does all the magic and then eventually bring back their leader: Old Deuteromy. It’s a cheerful song and somehow addictive to me. My least favorite scene would be the scene where Jellylorum sings about Gus: the theatre cat. I do not hate the scene, it is just after so many scenes of introducing the cats, I’m a little bit
