Some Guy TT posted:the bigger broader failure of the live action version that it turns the townspeople into sympathetic characters by also making them victims of the curse this completely changes the tone of the final act from gaston being a charismatic demagogue whipping the crowd into a kneejerk frenzy to him just being a weird...kindof...guy??? who noone really even likes all that much which is very much against the tone of the original which very unsubtly emphasizes that men should be judged according to their motivations not their competency in projecting a good public image which doesnt necessarily have anything to do with whether theyre actually a good person this was a very common third wave feminist idea and you can really see how the fourth wave shifted the conversation that this became toxic but that having gastons sidekick be gay (maybe???) is enough to make him sympathetic too when as gastons hype man hes arguably even more dangerous than gaston himself A rather prominent example of this is during the song "Gaston" where our villain brags about how amazing and manly he is. In the animated version, we have no reason to doubt that he's just as good as he boasts. He actually has done all the things he's bragging about, and the people love him for it. This sort of charisma makes him dangerous, and provides some foreshadowing of his later whipping the town into an angry mob. He's a popular bully, the sort of person that a child is likely to encounter many times throughout their life, and a warning to not listen to someone just because they're outwardly impressive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30PVdigjbFY The live action jettisons all that, as we see Lafou bribing the crowd to sing along. No one believes that Gaston is actually a great hunter, the women aren't actually swooning over him because he's a successful and powerful man about town, the men don't actually want to be him. They just tolerate him because there's money to be made. Are we to believe that they were bribed again to go along with arresting Belle's father or storming the castle? The warning about charismatic and outwardly impressive people who discretely harbor ill intentions is lost. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOjquzGpu0Q As with many adaptations, it apes the style of the old one, yet makes changes that demonstrate a complete misunderstanding of why the original was the way it was. It dumbs it down to make sure no one actually mistakes Gaston as someone to look out for, because as we all know, villains announce themselves and their plans and intentions very directly, and you, the viewer, would never be fooled by someone like that. Now, let me take a sip of my drink and double check the 2008 election results...

Point: modem live action remakes of classic stories shoehorn in toxic aspects of fourth wave feminism that contradict the themes of the original, upending the moral center of the tale and leaving audiences grasping for some sort of consistent meaning Counterpoint: you care about movies for babies

What got me about the live action Beauty and the Beast was them giving Gaston PTSD as a bit, which, (A) Nice job having able ism in your woke remake, dipshits, but (B) Now I kinda want an A24 style period piece about a traumatized Gaston recovering from the war who slowly realizes a literally monstrous monarch is kidnapping women from his village.

Here's what bothered me about the remake: Lumiere makes a guillotine joke, but how is he able to do that since the movie takes place before the revolution? Even if he saw the future in the magic mirror or something, who is it for? And how can he have a French accent? They're all French!

Rubellavator posted:is this the one that leaves out shipping and travel emissions It does include shipping and travel, but only if they are produced within the US. Of course, what that stupid person doesn't mention is that the real reason the US CO2 production declined was deindustrialization. But if you account for CO2 emissions embedded in trade, then the US simply shifted a lot of its CO2 production elsewhere. The US is by far the world's biggest "importer" of CO2 emissions. Over 500 million tons of CO2 are emitted every year to produce the things the US imports (and we're just talking production here, not transportation). For the same of comparison, you'd have to add up countries 2 through 5 on the list of "biggest importers of CO2 emissions" to get to where the US is.

He's a popular bully, the sort of person that a child is likely to encounter many times throughout their life, and a warning to not listen to someone just because they're outwardly impressive. The song the mob sings when they're preparing to kill the beast was intentionally written to resemble gay panic by a songwriter who was dying of AIDS, so I find it a little weird and distasteful changing the story to that he's not beloved because he's pretty and "normal" but that the people are just paid or under a magical spell.
