Visually and Audibly Stunning with Endearing Characters
I've wanted to see this movie ever since I heard the song "U" in 2021. 4 years later, and it absolutely lived up to the hype I built up for it. Belle is visually and audibly stunning. An interesting modern take on "Beauty and the Beast," it reimagines the story in creative ways that kept me on the edge of my seat, trying to unravel the new mysteries. I don't think they were too deeply hidden, but I also don't think it necessarily spelled it out for the viewer either. I loved all the characters and found them easy to latch onto. My only real gripe I have with the movie is that the first two acts feel a little rushed at points. I wish it took a little more time to linger. I loved the points where the characters got each other into slightly awkward situations, and the camera just let the characters and audience sit in the awkwardness. It worked really well, and I wish the whole film felt like that. It wasn't a terrible issue for me, as the rest of the story was endearing, and I just fell in love with it.
