Film review of "Beauty and the Beast
Bill Condon utilizes innovative shifts in developing the plot of this new version of the
story. According to Donald Haase’s work, fairytales portray strong female characters. Condon
employs strong characterization for its female character, by presenting Belle as a female champion
(heroine) for literacyin new scenery in her ignorant town.
Belle’s mother is now featured; Belle has a single parent, just like a majority of Disney
princesses. As Donald argues, the fairyland is at times associated with death. In the animation, the
absence of her mother is certainly not explained. However, the new version dedicates a whole sub-
plot in a bid to solve the mystery. Maurice had kept a secret of his wife’s sacrifice when she was
faced with a plague and hence, protecting Belle and her father by sending them away. Surprisingly,
the Beast’s magic book allows belle to travel with him to where her mother died.
The Beast’s backstory has fuller coverage. Fairy tales are characterized by a high starting,
falling low, and then a return to the former social status. The original story focuses on the life of
the Beast before the curse. The new story, however, presents a comprehensive introduction to
compensate for it. He does not simply judge Belle by her look; he’s a spoiled and hedonic Prince
throwing extravagant parties and seems not to care. He is associated with an early strained relation
with his brutal father the root of his crueltyand was bereaved of his mum, just like Belle.

There is a happy ending (a characteristic of fairy tales according to Donald), though a
twisted one. Despite the struggles with the Beast, everybody rescued, including Belle reunites with
the rest of the villagers. Surprisingly, Maurice and Belle get out of bondage by choosing their way.
The Magicianwho we realize has been the magician all this timecomes out to pick the rose in
the final moment.
The development of the plot in such an innovative style and the deep characterization of
the characters, as well as heightening their roles as compared to the animation serve to win the
audience’s hearts easily and make the story more realistic and enjoyable. This is line with Donald
Haase’s view of fairy tales—that they should conform to the lives of people.
Donald Haase suggests that the narrative trajectory of a fairy tale is an essential central part
of their very being. The innovative shifting indicated is ideological because this new version fixes
the plot holes within the animated version.
The potential audience comprising people of all ages or those adoring the animated Beauty
and the Beast will be appropriate for this particular work. From Donald’s theoretical work, fairy
tales allude to great hopes; contain fantasy of happiness and present social paradigms which
overlap with better life daydreams.
The tale employs gender balance. He suggests that the commitment of Belle--heroineto
the Beast is nearly as much closer to saving the cursed workers of the enthralled castle since it is
almost drowning in love. Her Beauty is more of a rescuer because she serves as a tool for breaking
a curse. This is in line with Donald’s work which shows how feminists directed critical concern
on the fairytales to break the spell which had charmed readers over centuries.
