La Belle et La Bête (3/9)

[missmegacrazyy]

truly a beautiful movie

[ssimmons0602]

The faces in the mantel scared the willies out of the the first time I saw this.

[ayseal]

superb!



[71crm]

I like how even though the Beast is a beast, he is by no means an ugly beast. In fact he's kind of attractive (for an animal that is!) In fact over the course of the film, you begin to wonder why Beauty refuses to marry him in the first place!

[MsFloopdedoop]

Ahah Ludovic..."SLAP HER"

...

OMG YOU SLAPPED HER! How dare you

[dragon202920]

the beasts voice not at all what I expected.

[dezboss]

This film is an exceptionally fine piece of work.

[valeriachavezpardo]

Am I the only one that finds the "ENCORE!" at 2:58 hilarious?!?

Amazing movie:)

[CashemereLoco]

Ludovic told Avenant to him to slap her.

Ludovic? If you didn't want your sister to get slapped you shouldn't of said anything.

Dope. Then again, she did deserve it.

[sssalsera]

Thanks am0123 for uploading this. I saw it many years ago and always wanted to see it again!

[lauren10487]

Did they light the horse's tail on fire when she is riding on it? it looks like it is smoking.

[alarasnowfeather]

I think that Avenant looks a little like Neil Patrick Harris.

[iut032]

le film est tres bon!!!!

[MrArmadillo85]

My french class saw this and all of us thought the beast was gonna be super scary and when he came out we bursted out laughing and my friend yelled, "GAY!" But great movie.

[monkofshades]

Is it just me, or is the music sometimes overdramatic for the situation?

[MsKrishtina]

This castle, while welcoming, is a little creepy. I love how almost disturbing it is. There are arms coming from the walls! And apparently they don't have to hold up the candelabras! The candelabras just float ... so ... why are there arms? :P

[stevette3]

merci

[berrybellcosplay]

Belle is so gorgeous!

[MysticLove101]

slap that bitch up lol:D



[RacbecSkywalker]

Jean Marais played Avenant, the Beast and Prince Arden all at once!

[WayToSaveTheWorld]

I think that' 30 seconds when Belle's running in slow motion through the castle might just be one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

[NalaSiki]

belle's slow mow scene is so... belle?

[wrybreadspread]

5:55 Ludovic tells Avenant to slap his sister 6:05 Ludovic gets on Avenant's case for...slapping his sister. ??? I'll never understand the French. Myself, I'd toss the annoying little dog 6:15 outdoors

[TaylorGermanotta]

Did you know the guy who played the beast had a homosexual relationship with the director? And they had the same name? Thanks Wikipedia...?

[pfliegerz]

5:49 ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha­haahhaahahahah

[wrybreadspread]

@pfliegerz Yeah. "I *flip* my hair."

[wrybreadspread]

@pfliegerz Yeah. "I *flip* my hair."

[KatMays379]

does anyone know where some of these scenes were shot?

[balrog13571]

@KatMays379

It was shot with a variety of tricks. One of the best one's they did was where the candle's seem to light themselves. It was actually shot backwards blowing them out one at a time, then they replayed the scene backwards giving it the illusion of moving forward. This makes it looks like the candles light themselves when in fact they were really going out. Francis Ford Coppola used that method in Dracula when the vampire Lucy is returning to her crypt. It's a remarkable camera trick.

[blkchk]

@balrog13571 I noticed they used that backward trick several times in this movie.

[ilovemanitees]

love this movie! so good- i love how everything is alive in the enchanted castle- kind of creepy but cool

[ashleykhart]

i would have fled the country,the beast is gangsta...

[suzannesadiiqa]

Funny how the horse suddenly has a side saddle but then it is a fairytale..

[TheWishfulDreamer]

8:20-8:45 has to be one of the most magical moments in film history.

[Prancer1231]

@TheWishfulDreamer yes also where she's going down the corridor with the billowing curtains great music too

[LukeSkywalkerInMe]

Ah the times when movies were made in an all theatre fashion. Fabulous!

[kasumimoon1961]

fun fact about the slow walking scene with belle in the end: turns out she was actually riding on a little cart--the director wanted to create a sorta dreamlike motion and make it seem like she was floating across the room. It came out beautiful right?

^_^

[orlandobabe]

All those kids are horrible! I pity the father and Belle.

[Animeangel722]

How is it that Avenant is so cruel to Ludovic and family but suddenly they're friends again 5 minutes later?

[ChasingGlory]

the dead deer was pretty graphic. I know it is not blood, guts, and gore, but I was surprised.

[LunaLongbottom2448]

I love the hair flip at 5:50!

[MmeBlatte]

@LunaLongbottom2448

Omg, it's so funny !!

[SpringOverdose]

the slow motion with belle- just wow. so beautiful and fluid dream-like. that had to be what they wanted to evoke right? like how one feels when they try to run in a dream?

[blkchk]

I saw this on TV when I was a little girl. That was when there was no cable and you got foreign movies, etc. I'm 58 now and I still remember the details. Such an enchanting film.

[solarlolax]

lol those shoulder pads are powerful xD

[MrsPritchard72]

j'ai vu ce film quand j'avais 4 ans... depuis j'ai peur de la bête -.-

[louppas]

C'est trop marrent quand Avenant gifle Félicie !!!!

[WordTrashCritic]

Hee hee... the Beast looks stupid. I laughed so hard when he came out... and then he spoke!

Takes a while to get used to him i guess...

[cyparris3]

The garden with all the dogs really exists. It is Anet. It was built by a king of France for his mistress whose name was Diana (name of the goddess of hunting) hence the hound and the deers sculptures in the park

[kenyadigthemusic]

this is one of the most groundbreaking films, look how they use slow motion to add drama and those magical lantern hands are amazing, when I first saw this I pointed out how Phantom of the Opera stole that hand lanterns!

[dolphantom]

@kenyadigthemusic I said the same thing about Phantom of the Opera! Ideas like that are never original anymore.

[Tij9er8loesem]

@kenyadigthemusic

Accualy Joel Schumager didn't stole the idea of those moving arms holding candleholders. He once said in an interview it was a tribute to this movie.

a tribute to Jean Cocteau's 'Beauty and the Beast,' filmed in 1946.

[ROYALWAND]

@kenyadigthemusic

candleabra, dear boy, candleabra. yes, it is all very beautiful. superb.

[titansky1001]

@kenyadigthemusic oh my gosh! I noticed that too, that Phantom movie totally stole the hands! I think this whole enchanted castle looks amazing.

[71crm]

@kenyadigthemusic It's not stealing if the thing you got it from was good! :)

[sunvana]

one of the most magical scenes in all of film

[Megandicks]

Gosh I love the end when she's running into the castle it's so beautiful!

[breznev64]

@Megandicks Oh yes, that brief run in the hall with all the candles is one of my favourite moments in any movie I've ever seen

[envanje]

Some 47 ys. ago when I was the age of 6, the appearance of the beast at 2.10 scared me more than all the horror movies made afterwards together were not able to.

Great movie of Jean Cocteau and Jean Marais. The best French movie I know.

[nowhereibelongvip]

merci un million de fois pour avoir posté ces vidéos !!!

[xzellos]

LOL..ROFL..HAHAHA..OMG!! The beast is just too..priceless..oh lord i'm crying from laughters..

[adonis699]

HAHA avenant is a bitch

[monkofshades]

@adonis699

No his sisters are the bitches.

[hamstergeisha76]

What an awesome movie! The beast here looks almost like Vincent from the TV show version.

[serotine9]

Moi aussi j'adore ce film! :)

[klickenpod]

Man... even the score is dripping with beauty.

ALO, CHER MONSIEUR! Hahaha, I love it.

[prettynpink528]

I think you should add the Disney version's theme song to this video just like you added it to the episode of Farie Tale Theatre.

[FilmTraum9]

Impresionante las figuras en las paredes, las manos , los candelabros !

[Armenterosma]

J'adore ce film. Je l'ai vu 37 fois...Tom (lyceen - Marseille, France)

[Kysentha]

He comically makes me think of the lion from the Wizard of Oz.

[calicarman]

The rose really means alot to Belle now she has to be with the Beast.

[peymaania]

Those have got to be the largest Stone Hounds in the History of Film. They are simply Gianormous...just like my Girl Friends Derrier!

[Ihatesev]

Yeah I did wonder the purpose of them. Perhaps the palace pooches?
