　 　 1905 movie network news The 4th Beijing International Film Festival opened in Beijing on April 16th. As the opening film of the festival, French films first met the audience in China. The film was written and directed by christophe gans, the French director who directed the thriller and suspense movie Ghost Angel. The dark colors and severe scenes show a strong dark style. The role of "Belle Bella" is played by the leading French actress Léa Seydoux, whose cool temperament and extremely gorgeous modeling are impressive.

New interpretation adds fatalism, exquisite picture, dark style

　 　 The first published version of Beauty and the Beast appeared in the works of the French writer Madame Villeneuve in 1740. In this original version, the prince was orphaned by an evil fairy when he was young. When the prince came of age, the fairy lured him into failure and turned him into a beast. Later versions cut down the reason why the prince turned into a beast. The popular version of children’s fairy tales was basically expressed as "being turned into a beast because he didn’t know how to love". The 1946 black-and-white movie and the animated version produced by Disney in 1991 both used the children’s fairy tale version.
　 　
　 　 Christopher, the director and screenwriter, made a new interpretation of the reason why the prince turned into a beast. The prince turned into a beast no longer because he was harmed by others, but because he was to blame himself. The meeting between Bella and the beast was no longer just caused by Bella’s father’s accidental intrusion, which added a strong sense of destiny. This fateful plot indirectly explained the reason why the heroine Bella fell in love with the beast.

　 　 However, not everyone accepts this interpretation. Because the film strengthens the influence of fate on their love, some people think that Bella’s love with the beast is somewhat inexplicable, while others think that this arrangement downplays the theme of "love redemption" in fairy tales.

　 　 The film continues the director’s dark fantasy style, and the story is told in parallel and finally naturally meets. The most impressive thing about the whole film is the gorgeous modeling of the characters and the film picture with oil painting texture. The overall tone is gloomy and gloomy, especially in the performance of large-scale scenes, which creates a strange atmosphere. In the performance of rural scenery, many frames are like European oil paintings that can be hung on the wall. Different from the background of the picture, the costumes of the protagonists are gorgeous and compelling, and the sharp contrast also strengthens the sense of drama conflict.

The picture of the film is exquisite, and the heroine is charming.

Léa Seydoux turned into a "painting man", and the French prince was elegant and charming.

　 　 Léa Seydoux, whose Life of Adele is famous all over the world, was once described by the magazine as "a person who escaped from the paintings of the Renaissance". As a model, she has a cold face, a loose and desolate expression, and a distinctive facial contour shows a tough temperament. Leia once said in an interview that this film will be very "modern". From the perspective of clothing, it really looks like Leia’s personal fashion show.

　 　 In the film, the dress of the heroine Bella is divided into three stages: as the youngest daughter in the family, Bella’s dress is the least complicated but the most exquisite among the daughters; After the family came down, Bella took it easy and put on the clothes of a peasant woman; After staying at the Beast Castle, Bella put on many sets of gorgeous clothes provided by the Beast. At first, the pure white showed Bella’s confusion, and then a set of blue dresses revealed Bella’s growing inner strength. Finally, the red Chinese clothes made Bella the most dazzling, and the picture of her going into danger alone was even more moving.

　 　 The plasticity of Leiya’s personal temperament is also surprising. In "Adele’s Life", the handsome blue hair style still stays in the audience’s impression, and she can freely switch between sweetness and royal sister in the film.

　 　 Interestingly, the prince played by Vincent Cassel in the film surprised some viewers. His rough appearance is different from the traditional handsome prince in China, and some viewers think that he is a real French prince who is elegant and mature. In fact, this famous French actor, who has appeared in other classic films, mostly appears as a beast in the film. However, when he appears as a prince, he still exudes French aristocratic temperament.
