CharlestheHammer posted:You are making a lot of assumptions. That's pretty much the plot of the movie, according to the movie's website. Since she's not as glamorous as the other princesses she hunts down a magical pair of shoes that makes her outer beauty match her inner beauty. The dwarves are douchebag princes that were cursed by the same idea and turned into ugly little goblins. It's pretty stock fairy tale movie and I can see an actor signing on to a project with that understanding and be blindsided when a marketing team that wasn't involved in the production takes it a whole other way. Plus apparently it's a joint Asian film so there's probably a lot of cultural clash going on.

Timby posted:My favorite anecdote along these lines, but of a more humorous nature, is one that Harold Ramis told: One day, William Atherton was walking down the sidewalk in New York or Los Angeles, I forget which, and a bus full of people pulls up alongside him. He looks over and everyone shouts, "YO, DICKLESS! They should have given him popcorn.

Coaaab posted:That's insane to me since I think she gave more of a shades of grey performance. Breaking apart the nuclear family, even a horribly dysfunctional one, is anathema to the moral values of 1960s Korean society, and that's before you get into the fact that her character straight-up murders a child. The film definitely doesn't paint a rosy picture of the husband and wife either, but it's easy to see why contemporary audiences would have sided with them.

Samuel Clemens posted:I recall reading somewhere that Eun-shim Lee never acted again after Hanyo because she was so vilified for her role as evil housemaid that no studio wanted to hire her for future projects. I've read that they had a difficult time finding an actor to play the main villain in Wait Until Dark because no one wanted to be the person who terrorized Audrey Hepburn. Alan Arkin ultimately got the part.

I was going to say that it's probably a safe bet that they'll end on a Shrek-like "It's okay to just be yourself, true beauty is inside, you don't need to hide it with magic!" note but uhhhh I don't trust Korean cinema to pull that off.

It's less that Shrek is a bad movie--far from it--but I'm kind of astonished there hasn't been a better "you can still be beautiful even if you don't conform to strict cultural standards" animation since then.

We now live in the era of rampant nostalgia though, so 95% of all jokes in all media are outdated references.

Shrek is good, but the franchise follows the words of Harvey Dent and lives long enough to become the villain that it mocked so well during the first movie.

Looks like Wonder Woman debut at over 200 million dollars worldwide. Pirates 5 is at half a billion after two weekends but fell to third place behind Captain Underpants.

I went to Box Office Mojo just to see how Wonder Woman was doing and I forgot just how much loving money Beauty and the Beast made. Like, imagine if Wonder Woman made an extra $25m each day of this weekend.
