Belle: “I really want to find a town with a decent library”
The Town: “This chick so crazy, she learned to read.”
Beast: “Behold my enormous library”
Belle: “I will fuck the fur off your foreskin if you let me live here.”
Gaston: “Books are scary, burn this place to the ground”
Twitter: “Belle is the bad guy”
Well, TBF she IS really into a furry - that makes all sorts of people a bit squeamish.
He’s not a furry, he’s a monster, making Belle a monsterfucker.
Fifty years ago you could depict a romance without everyone assuming that they’re fucking.
Simpler times, it was…
unrealistic for cishet sexual people (the assumed default)
Howso? Abstinence until marriage was more normal back then, and deviations from that norm were viewed as aberrations. It’s almost the opposite today.
I guess I need to amend 50 years to 70+ years because it just dawned on me that 50 years ago was the '70s… in my mind “50 years ago” still means “1950s”…
But still.
Also, wasn’t the Beast’s curse broken by “true love’s first kiss”? So obviously they weren’t fucking because the movie ended right after their first kiss…
You think you have to kiss to fuck?
::reads through the lyrics to the song::
Hmm, she makes one comment about the town being poor and provincial, a couple about wanting more out of life, and then the rest of it is the towns folk saying she’s “pretty but weird” and Gaston saying “she’s mine.”
I think this analysis stinks.
“There goes the baker, with his bread like always… the same old bread and rolls to selllll!” That’s ONE you could point at as a jab. The poor, poor boulanger!
I don’t think this is even a jab at the baker, she’s just commenting on the malaise she feels at her life being the same everyday. Relatable honestly.
I mean isn’t it standard in Disney princesses?
Anna in Frozen has a whole song about how castle will finally have “real people” when the party starts, while servants around her prepare for said party.
I always laugh at that scene! Like someone taught her how to socialize and read, and thought they were meaningfully impacting her life, but then Anna comes around singing, “I wish there were people, and not these lower life forms!”
Of course Elsa agreed. She considers them all, including Anna to be in lesser life forms.
Beast is more attractive as a beast than as a pretty boy human. That’s my unsolicited opinion, and you have to be nice to me because it’s pride month.
Wanting more than your current circumstance is not ‘looking down’ on your present circumstance in a negative way, it’s just aspiring to more than you have.
For small minded people, that definitely can be the case and seem snobbish.
Belle.
