Beauty and the Beast : Belle being impulsive ? 'Come into the light'

The way Emma delivers this line and the way she moves forward the Beast made me think more of Hermione than the sweet Belle.

My goodness, can't she play someone else ?

That's easy for you to say that when you're being close-minded.

I think you mean 'closed-minded'

To you, Baldrick, the Renaissance was just something that happened to other people, wasn't it?

It is easy for me to say that when I know the character from the animated movie so much that I expect good acting from Watson who is supposed to play the character and not anyone else.

I think Emma Watson acting is excellent. You won't change my opinion of her acting. Never.

That is not my goal to change your opinion. I really think you need help. When I criticize Emma, I am not talking about you. Don't take things too personal. It is very very very low. Even in the internet. Cheers.

Can can you show us where the OP was trying to? Or said anything that warranted you making such a huge freaking accusation?


Logan, buddy. It's me, Deadpool! I shot youuuuuu.

Thanks Whoopsie. Like can we just express ourselves without having cray cray people being hurt ?

Its just that, this film is one of my most anticipated movies of 2017. And I feel like all of you guys saying negative things about it is really hurting my excitement for it. That's why I acted this way.

Beauty and the beast is my favorite Disney ever. I know every line, every songs lyrics, every details.

And anyone who knows it as much as I do, cant ignore the big differences between Emma s acting and how the original character is.

If you're really that weak-minded that you'll let a different opinion sway your own excitement for something, that sounds like a personal problem. I'll be damned if I'd let someone have that kind of effect on me. Furthermore, if someone saying something negative is too much for you to handle to the hilariously ludicrous degree that it's swaying your own excitement for this film maybe just leave IMDb.

And the fact she enters the castle with a stick like she is ready to fight someone. They killed the character by trying too hard to make Belle a badass feminist when she really was a badass and a genius feminist in the first place !

I am talking about that dramatic changes they seemed to bring to the original character. DUH.

A stick in itself is not a problem, don't worry.

Oh and by the way, I have big news for you : you are on the BATB board, and we are here to discuss about the movie and not our every day problems. Cheers.

As usual with movie trailers, this is not the entire scene; there's most likely more dialogue between Belle and the Beast before and after she asks him to step forward.

Sometimes an alternate scene is used in the film as well, or a different sound recording.

As for the stick; she might have used it as a walking stick to navigate through the snow. It's not yet clear if she came (all the way) by horse.

I really hope you are right and that the character won't suffer too much changes.

Eh, in all fairness, Belle WAS pretty impulsive in the original film as well. Like, for example, her deliberately disobeying the Beast's stipulation of not going to the West Wing (with not even the mention of a library doing much more than just having her stop for a minute before entering), trying to touch the rose, fleeing the castle despite explicitly promising to stay at the castle forever as part of the agreement to free her father, heck, her exposing Beast to the congregated village. In fact, I'd argue she was way more impulsive than Ariel was in her film.

She was way more subtle, even in her impulsive behavior. The subtility and grace Belle has is what made her look so sweet, even when she was mad at the beast.

It seems to me, Watson wasn't able to deliver a performance of a poised and gracious character, so they just let her acts the only way she could.

I'm not sure how her tantrum to Beast when refusing to come down to dinner or her piling the blame on Beast for the events that got Beast injured without even acknowledging she was at fault at all was subtle or graceful, or her throwing Gaston into a mud pond while giving a mock-wave goodbye and smirking afterward, or, well, her complaints in the opening song. Sorry, try as I might, I simply cannot see how that was subtle or even graceful.

Maybe when I was much younger, when I still had trust in Belle and didn't have to constantly worry about whether she'll join the French Revolutionaries in slaughtering people for fun, I probably could see it, but not now.

Please. She didn't want to have diner with him because he took her father away from her. She didn't insult him or harass him. She handled the situation with GRACE.

The same goes for Gaston.

Seriously? She threw a freaking temper tantrum to Beast and still refused him even after he made effort to try and politely request she come down to dinner, twice. You want grace, have her come down to dinner, try to be polite, feeling it's only fair, since he at least attempted to be polite to her. And have her leave only when Beast screws up.

And I don't think throwing a guy into a mudpool and actually smirking over it is even remotely graceful at all. Don't forget, Cinderella didn't even do that to Drizella and Anastasia in her film, and they treated her FAR worse than Gaston did to her in that scene. Now, maybe if it was VERY clear that Gaston was trying to rape her, and she wasn't just luring him to the door, and then she is forced to open the door, I'd probably buy grace. Heck, maybe if we kept most of it the same, yet change her mocking wave goodbye and smirk reaction when Gaston falls into mud to something more akin to Honoka from Dead or Alive 5 Last Round in this video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY2RvvuXabE&feature=youtu.be&t=22

This. 100% this.

Exactly this OP has no idea whats he or she is talking about. I feel like they are just grasping at straws to find something to critiqu a stick? really?


Thats your concern her carrying a stick?..

I agree. I mean, if I was going into some big, scary, seemingly abandoned castle, I might want to have something to hold onto just in case.

Belle didn't in the animated movie. That is my point. She is not like the rest of us. It is a freaking character.

That is not a concern but just something I noticed.

I think you're overreacting to a simple line in a scene. You're watching this trailer and at the same comparing every single aspect to the original. You're setting yourself up for disappointment

I wouldn't credit that to Watson's acting but the directing instead; maybe they're going for a more heroine-esque Belle

Well yeah the actress is the same, you know
