It seems that the attraction of the cinema becomes a thousand times stronger when the good old (and also beloved) story unfolds on the big screen and returns in a new, promising scale and magnificence format. Therefore, at the first opportunity, it pulls you to sit comfortably in an armchair, where, after relaxing, you may be able to feel the very emotions that excited and occupied your soul in childhood. Of course, one does not enter the same water twice; everyone knows this. But the hope that the anticipated cinematic action in a beautiful way suddenly turns out to be no worse (or even several times better) of the animated original, so beautifully shots from the trailer and big names in the credits so powerfully.

But in reality, everything is much more prosaic. Literally a few frames following the traditional Disney screensaver will soon descend from heaven to earth – and you suddenly realize: the new format with its technologically advanced decorations and grandiose attractions does not promise the reincarnation of the soul of a cartoon fairy tale classic. Yes, the same plot with the necessary splashes and additions for the big screen, the same heroes, the same story, but already played on the stage, thoroughly saturated with current trends. So, black princesses skillfully dancing at the prince’s ball no, no, yes, and they will remind you of the ubiquitous tolerance, which is sometimes not obligatory at all, but it breaks all the same. And the taste is not the same. Not fabulous. It seems that the look of Belle herself, whose scruffy and obsessive panties looking under the dress evokes a sense of dissonance, does not in any way adore the extraordinary work of the costumers, this smack is about to make it a little bit more delicate. Fortunately, soon all the unnecessary, annoying nuances that break out of the general picture dissolve, and the fairy tale itself comes to the fore. And here everything is win-win, everything is in the hands of small viewers: effects, surroundings, the characters themselves and their background, music, easy humor. Therefore, it is somewhat puzzling that vilely imperceptibly rolling feeling that behind all the golden sparkling zilch that strikes right in the eyes, behind all the perfectly calibrated magic of the castle, mesmerizing with its appearance and all the charm of the main characters, there will not be a truly valuable and significant core. Instead, it is presented in impeccable and sustained in the best traditions of Disney to the impossibility, to annoying corrosivity sweet, almost sugary, all-encompassing triumph of kindness and happiness (exclusively in white, with a blue sky and green grass in the background, and with flowers in the hair). But is it really a misfortune when it comes to a fairy tale? .. That is why, perhaps, it doesnÂ’t make anyone particularly meticulously meet and thoroughly dissect the film Beauty and the Beast. The framework of the genre itself does not just condescendingly justify any flaws, but only makes excessive criticism pointless. The picture is unlikely to occupy an exceptional place among those called classics or aerobatics, but it can undoubtedly deliver a certain portion of pleasure (especially aesthetic) (even if only once), especially to children (so imagine how ridiculous, how inappropriate, how comical in this case, the rating looks +16!).

Satisfied with two-hour magic and the magic of love, casting aside emotions and lying down to pacify expectations, it remains to note for the viewer who is determined to watch: the film “Beauty and the Beast of the sample of 2017 is not the surest way to give free rein to nostalgia, if you are among adults, but a great opportunity to plunge into a fairy-tale world, admire the riot of colors and feelings, not especially diving deep into history itself, which guarantees a carefree pastime in front of a large screen if you are young creatures (the presence of youth exclusively spiritual is also nice).
