Because it spoke to Gen X kids, now it's just a joke. A has been franchise nearing 50 years old.

wonderful video

Subscribing for this one. You are distractingly attractive. Gracias!

The French version is the best.

Russian revolution that overthrown Tzar was made in February of 1917 by various classes to build typical European government with many parties. Communism leaders like Lenin were not even in Russian empire at that time. Later in October communists started a successful coup, that was officially called as a COUP until 1927. Im not even going to speak about civil war and red terror that completely destroyed old educated class. PLEASE! DO NOT SPREAD MISINFORMATION\AGENDA. BTW, Ivan The Terrible is know for his terror against people, massacres and cruelty and not "old glory days", also known as part of meme "Tsar is good, boyars (elite) is bad" that was popularized by movie. This movie was made 6 years after Great Purge (when red terror turned on everybody and government itself, killing 680 000+ people officially) and was sending a message to people "i'm maybe cruel murderer, but all for state and i actually only good one here" and figure of Ivan The Terrible was chosen because in first place because Stalin saw himself in Ivan as man in same position, cruelty and sadism. Eisenstein maybe talented man and was one the first people to path way for cinema as we know it, but as person he deserves no forgiveness for working for Stalin and making all this propaganda.

Belle's costumes in the French film make the one's in the Disney remake look like dime store rejects.

In the original fairytale, the Beast is transformed after an evil fairy falls in love with the young prince and he refuses her advances. The same fairy also curses Belle to fall in love with a monster because, spoilers, Belle is actually a princess that was switched as a baby.

GREAT comparative analysis of two of my most favorite movies of all times!!

It is a dull film. A great film should be interesting and engaging.

the 2014 french movie isn't a remake, it is a pure adaptation of the original story

The Witch doesnt take place during medeival times.

Could you imagine if the 1976 King Kong fought the 1980s-1990s Godzilla? Those incarnations of both of them were more intimidating looking and their designs are more detailed. That, and they're darker in tone.

Thank you I just watched Star Wars for 1st time recently. The video answered my question!

5:55 I know this video is made a decade ago, but I don't think the animation has said anything about Marjan's family's religion.

I love this movie

😊 even though I grew up with the Disney version of beauty and the beast I'm going to say I don't really like the remake all that much the cast members were so much more fun and entertaining to watch than the two main leaves which shouldn't be a problem and the dress was just disappointing this other one I liked it so much more because they tried something new it feels like a fantasy world her dresses are gorgeous I do wish there was a bit more with the love story but I like it a bit better than the Disney live action

😅 I feel like when Bella learned about how her mother died could have worked so much better if the beast sympathized with her I mentioned how he lost his mother and connects with her on that because they both have lost someone they truly loved but instead the beast is just like sorry I locked your dad in jail really and then the scene doesn't go anywhere it doesn't it just cuts off randomly and just is immediately to the next scene which doesn't work so much better if they used it better but they didn't 😅

Great review! Worst pronunciation of the word "häxan" that I ever heard though lol,

Note An American Tail takes place in 1885 - smack dab in the middle of the Gilded Age in the US. While the economy exploded, it benefited only the super rich and their politician cronies. Income inequality and political corruption was out of control. Life in the US for poor immigrant families like Fievel's was only marginally better than the Russian Empire.

Thank you for your review, I found The Pawnbroker haunting, Rod Steiger`s portrayal feels so real, he deserved the Oscar for this. I agree the photography, editing, soundtrack, and ensemble cast all help to convey the teeming energy, and underlying violence, of an unsleeping city. It stinks of New York. Great movie.

Whilst I don't doubt the SINCERITY of the reviewer's review in the very least the analysis and the premise is so deeply flawed as to be almost laughable and he only gets away with saying what he's saying because of the times in which we live now. The magic of the Classic musicals was that they did transport people to a joyous world of elegance, grace and fun that always remained grounded by the common touch, however, sublime the music and dance sequences actually were. Audiences understood all of this at that time in a way that the reviewer clearly doesn't. The abundance and plenty on screen was a joy to behold that didn't condescend to the audience because this was a "shared" cinema going community experience! The reviewer overplays his hand when he reviews such Classic musicals from a taken-for-granted proto leftist/socialist/Marxist analysis that was not part of the popular culture at that time and which didn't truly take over until after the financial disaster of Hello Dolly in 1969. The reviewer, however, is on much surer ground imho when he describes the occasional musical films made after that. There is no question at all in my mind that the "long march" of the left through educational institutions and various other organisations and arms of government certainly started to gain more traction and influence on the young by the mid to late 1950's and which has continued up until this day did succeed in changing the popular culture from what it used to be to what we have now. The only exception in the last few decades to the culturally leftist influenced type of musical production I would say is "The Producers" by Mel Brooks which came out in the early 2000's. The Producers is to me not even of the right being more a wild, comic romp that is highly "spiritually" reminiscent of the musicals of the 1940's!

The Beast from the 2014 French version had a lot of potential, it's a shame the movie spent more time on his backstory than his actual development. He starts off as predatory (which nicely ties with his obsession with hunting that got him cursed in the first place), so I would've loved to see him evolve and mellow down next to Belle. Especially because Belle has such a profound love and respect for nature that contrasts with his demeanor. The fact that he eventually settles down in her dream cottage house and seems content with his new lifestyle doesn't feel earned. We needed to see him learn something.

Lea is way more beautiful than bland Emma. Lea portrays a strong character and feminine without trying.

In the French version you have to think deeper. How the hell Belle fell in love with the Beast is a short period of time. Well, you have to consider the Nymph that haunts Belle's dream. Through the dreams she shows what the real man inside the Beast she really loves. It is the Nymphs undying love that she will do all she can to save the Beast for his eternal curse, I believe this is how Belle come around. They could have explored it more in the movie. But they rely a lot on symbolism connections with the Roses (Belle's favorite, not growing on the cottage, the reason of the demise, the castle full of roses, the tree that will destroy and at the end, roses start growing around Belle's cottage) and the phrase "More than Life itself" was spoken more than three times connects back to the Rose for the Beast. Regardless, I had been continually watching this after I was disappointed with Disney's remake.

You are an ignorant boy with your Trump views. Educate yourself, boy.

thank you for the video!

I admire his work and how their can be beauty in darkness and the weird. Would love to see Tim Burton do an adaptation of The Nutcracker. Characters in that classic Christmas have the familiar for a Tim Burton film.

Well in 2023 we are seing Monopolies like disney and lucas film in movies and the wwe n ufc in wrestling

I loveeee this movie

Me I preferred the Bradley cooper and lady gaga version of the star is born movie.

I'm 5 years late, but as someone who's now seen both movies, the French remake had already gone far above the disney one, but it would've thrown it out of the water if the movie was longer. For the main plotline, the bad tensions between Belle and the Beast at the start really set in many flaws for both the characters. Beast sentenced Belle to be his prisoner in the abandoned castle for life, but didn't even want Belle to look at his monstrous form despite the mission to make her fall for him due to insecurity. Belle who was determined for the beast to not see her fear him for the eternal stay, she downright had already berated the beast for his form and personality. Being the cause of her father's near death and her imprisonment, she had no reason to see him through. These two had a great many problems to work through at the beginning, the only problem is that there isn't any time in the movie for them to do so.

Probably would’ve been a better film if the Nazis didn’t throw their most talented actors, directors and producers in concentration camps.

His name is Brano not Brandon .

French remake of the Jean Cocteau version by Christophe Gans and with Léa Seydoux as La Belle and Vincent Cassel as La Bête.

Under the same moon seemed to be a bit similar to The American Tail! But with more saddsr and less violence like in tne cartoon 80s film!

Good job bro 💯

Gracias por todo! I became full-time myself last summer and I thought I would not have time for myself either! Somehow I am still doing videos on recent movies though while balancing everything out! Whatever you put out, I will still watch! Gracias otra vez!

I will admit I don't know much about you. You are just one of thousands of movie reviewers I subscribed to. I don't care much about filmmaking I mostly just watch movies and review them for fun. But yeah I know how hard it is, and I don't like how many videos on movies are overly negative. But it's great to see you have some other kinds of videos planned, looking forward to more content.

I was wondering where you went. I missed your videos. I definitely feel for ya. I have plenty of videos I wanted to make, but then I cancelled because of how burnt out I was. I still am at times. And for me, I just say put your needs first. And if you ever decide to make a new video, I’ll be there. I remember when you first came into my comment section years ago and introduced me to your channel. And I’m glad to see you develop into your own as am I with my own side of things.

There is always room for more learning and improvement my friend keep an open mind 😊

Thanks for the update. It's great things sound like they're going well for you. You've already got reason to be proud of the collection of videos you've built on this channel, but if and when you do choose to upload more I'll be looking forward to them.

I do prefer the French version, but, as you said, it was a bit boring. I think what saved it for me was the stunning visuals and Léa Seydoux's subtle acting style. It really makes you pay attention to her facial expressions and little gestures. It also definitely felt more like a traditional fairy tale, especially with the addition of an angry nature god. I love that they didn't follow the 1946 version too closely and were NOT afraid to try exploring their characters and environments more. Did all of those experiments work out? Not really, but it made for a really pretty movie. I also watched this movie in dub and then in sub and I have to say that the... interesting dub makes it a little less boring lol. The movie does a good job of still feeling connected to its predecessor but differentiating itself in MANY different ways. One example is the way they change the focus on her family and their role in the story. I think they share the same names, but their situation and involvement in Belle's life is very different. I love the story of Beauty and the Beast because it's actually very simple, with very loose boundaries which allows for so many different takes on the story. You could add new character dynamics or side characters and it won't (or shouldn't depending on what kind of a writer you are) affect the necessary outline: Belle/Beauty meets a prince cursed to be a Beast and the two eventually fall in love which breaks the spell. I love stories like that. Ones that can be molded into many different forms without losing the essential story. Which is the main reason why I don't really like the Disney remake. The Disney remake relies too closely on the 2D animated film and doesn't really try new things, save for a few score changes. But even those changes didn't feel like they had a lot of heart in them. You talked about how Belle's backstory didn't really add anything, which is a perfect example. Personally, I think the song Evermore is a good song by itself, but it doesn't really need to be there. Sure it gives the Beast more characterization and the audience gets more of a look at what he's going through, but we see that MANY other times in the movie. It feels weird to have both. It's mainly there to pad out time and to give the prince character a song, which is a newfound interest Disney seems to have in these remakes. I would have liked the remake a bit more if they tried harder to explore what they can do with this very versatile story, instead of trying something only to back out and it ends up adding nothing but more runtime

An interesting analysis. However, while Stephen Sondheim later gained fame as both a composer and lyricist, *West Side Story* was among several shows at the beginning of his career where he wrote only the lyrics to another composer's music. In the case of *West Side Story,* the music was written by Leonard Bernstein.

One thing the frech version did better is making the audience to actually look forward to the Beast human form final transformation, because you have known him as a human and watch him do things before as such, so when the end happens, you feel that he's BACK. Not everything has to be a surprise! To me it was the least "give-back-my-beast" of them all (partially because Cassell is not a charming prince either, but a more "beastly" one 😂)

Fascinating history. Love both pro wrestling and films!

A young, beautiful, poor woman falls in love with an older, ugly but insanely rich guy. Truly a tale as old as time. It's called hypergamy.

Jewish people are chosen by GOD because the Messiah was prophesied to be descendant from their race. That is why they are the chosen of GOD. But if a Jewish person rejects their own Messiah who is of their own blood/kind, then GOD allowed Him to become Messiah to all races/persons. And Jewish persons were elevated but now are like other races in GOD's sight. So Jewish persons are now like other races no better or no worse. No one should discriminate against Jewish persons but they should not be idolized either. Only idolize Jesus Christ Messiah and Lord of all.
