Thanks for pointing out that the 1946 by Cocteau is in a different category as the author was a poet and a genius. The general public these days does not always seem to tell great art from well crafted entertainnent.
@@RuggeroBelloni I love the Cocteau version
Christianity has been a blight on the human race
the message how movies can affect everyone differently is really great, even though in general i think hello dolly deserves much more love it is one of my favorite movies because it gives you such a happy feeling the story is great in its own right, because dolly also has to let go of her passed husband, and the young man want to Go out and finally live as well as the women it is a movie about breaking out of the system even if just for one moment and therefore it is much more than "just" a story about love it is a movie that inspires you to enjoy life and that is also a great Connection to wall-e because earth seems to be hopeless but not only the plant, also hello dolly inspires wall-e and later the captain to think about the old happiness that once might have been there and it gives hope and the wish to make earth such a place again
19:33 My favorite movie. :)
U compared yourself to woody alen...think about that. Also u are not even close to Jeremy Johns
@@hylianbatman3153 if that’s how you interpreted what I was trying to say than so be it. And no I don’t care about Jeremy johns.

I know this old but think the French Version is more Adult Theme!!!, they could made the love scenes hotter.
Love the older musicals, but did love Xanadu.
Good video!

Jean Harlow was the inspiration for Monroe NOT Mae West.
Al Jolson gets flak for blackface, but it was a norm back then. Jolson himself supported people of colour. Saturday Night Fever REVIVED Disco with *purpose written* Bee Gees songs.

wonderful video
Subscribing for this one. You are distractingly attractive. Gracias!
The French version is the best.
Russian revolution that overthrown Tzar was made in February of 1917 by various classes to build typical European government with many parties. Communism leaders like Lenin were not even in Russian empire at that time. Later in October communists started a successful coup, that was officially called as a COUP until 1927. Im not even going to speak about civil war and red terror that completely destroyed old educated class. PLEASE! DO NOT SPREAD MISINFORMATION\AGENDA. BTW, Ivan The Terrible is know for his terror against people, massacres and cruelty and not "old glory days", also known as part of meme "Tsar is good, boyars (elite) is bad" that was popularized by movie. This movie was made 6 years after Great Purge (when red terror turned on everybody and government itself, killing 680 000+ people officially) and was sending a message to people "i'm maybe cruel murderer, but all for state and i actually only good one here" and figure of Ivan The Terrible was chosen because in first place because Stalin saw himself in Ivan as man in same position, cruelty and sadism. Eisenstein maybe talented man and was one the first people to path way for cinema as we know it, but as person he deserves no forgiveness for working for Stalin and making all this propaganda.
Belle's costumes in the French film make the one's in the Disney remake look like dime store rejects.
In the original fairytale, the Beast is transformed after an evil fairy falls in love with the young prince and he refuses her advances. The same fairy also curses Belle to fall in love with a monster because, spoilers, Belle is actually a princess that was switched as a baby.
GREAT comparative analysis of two of my most favorite movies of all times!!
Thanks
It is a dull film. A great film should be interesting and engaging.
Regardless I’m still interested for all it’s history
the 2014 french movie isn't a remake, it is a pure adaptation of the original story
The Witch doesnt take place during medeival times.
Could you imagine if the 1976 King Kong fought the 1980s-1990s Godzilla? Those incarnations of both of them were more intimidating looking and their designs are more detailed. That, and they're darker in tone.
Yeah it would have been something
Thank you I just watched Star Wars for 1st time recently. The video answered my question!
What questions you had?
5:55 I know this video is made a decade ago, but I don't think the animation has said anything about Marjan's family's religion.
I love this movie
😊 even though I grew up with the Disney version of beauty and the beast I'm going to say I don't really like the remake all that much the cast members were so much more fun and entertaining to watch than the two main leaves which shouldn't be a problem and the dress was just disappointing this other one I liked it so much more because they tried something new it feels like a fantasy world her dresses are gorgeous I do wish there was a bit more with the love story but I like it a bit better than the Disney live action
😅 I feel like when Bella learned about how her mother died could have worked so much better if the beast sympathized with her I mentioned how he lost his mother and connects with her on that because they both have lost someone they truly loved but instead the beast is just like sorry I locked your dad in jail really and then the scene doesn't go anywhere it doesn't it just cuts off randomly and just is immediately to the next scene which doesn't work so much better if they used it better but they didn't 😅
Great review! Worst pronunciation of the word "häxan" that I ever heard though lol,
Thanks
Note An American Tail takes place in 1885 - smack dab in the middle of the Gilded Age in the US. While the economy exploded, it benefited only the super rich and their politician cronies. Income inequality and political corruption was out of control. Life in the US for poor immigrant families like Fievel's was only marginally better than the Russian Empire.
Thank you for your review, I found The Pawnbroker haunting, Rod Steiger`s portrayal feels so real, he deserved the Oscar for this. I agree the photography, editing, soundtrack, and ensemble cast all help to convey the teeming energy, and underlying violence, of an unsleeping city. It stinks of New York. Great movie.
Whilst I don't doubt the SINCERITY of the reviewer's review in the very least the analysis and the premise is so deeply flawed as to be almost laughable and he only gets away with saying what he's saying because of the times in which we live now. The magic of the Classic musicals was that they did transport people to a joyous world of elegance, grace and fun that always remained grounded by the common touch, however, sublime the music and dance sequences actually were. Audiences understood all of this at that time in a way that the reviewer clearly doesn't. The abundance and plenty on screen was a joy to behold that didn't condescend to the audience because this was a "shared" cinema going community experience! The reviewer overplays his hand when he reviews such Classic musicals from a taken-for-granted proto leftist/socialist/Marxist analysis that was not part of the popular culture at that time and which didn't truly take over until after the financial disaster of Hello Dolly in 1969. The reviewer, however, is on much surer ground imho when he describes the occasional musical films made after that. There is no question at all in my mind that the "long march" of the left through educational institutions and various other organisations and arms of government certainly started to gain more traction and influence on the young by the mid to late 1950's and which has continued up until this day did succeed in changing the popular culture from what it used to be to what we have now. The only exception in the last few decades to the culturally leftist influenced type of musical production I would say is "The Producers" by Mel Brooks which came out in the early 2000's. The Producers is to me not even of the right being more a wild, comic romp that is highly "spiritually" reminiscent of the musicals of the 1940's!

The Beast from the 2014 French version had a lot of potential, it's a shame the movie spent more time on his backstory than his actual development. He starts off as predatory (which nicely ties with his obsession with hunting that got him cursed in the first place), so I would've loved to see him evolve and mellow down next to Belle. Especially because Belle has such a profound love and respect for nature that contrasts with his demeanor. The fact that he eventually settles down in her dream cottage house and seems content with his new lifestyle doesn't feel earned. We needed to see him learn something.
Lea is way more beautiful than bland Emma. Lea portrays a strong character and feminine without trying.
True. I’m more attracted to Lea.
Your statements were WRONG and TOTALLY MISLEADING, as well as full of misinformation. Both Lea Seydoux and Emma Watson portrays a feminine, strong-willed, and determined character without trying. Both of them are equally beautiful in their uniqueness. And another thing, Emma Watson IS NOT bland, you stupid fool.
@@classicmodernfilms7602 That statements of his within the comment section are misleading; and frankly, the truth is that both Lea Seydoux and Emma Watson are equally attractive, but in their own unique qualities of their own.
In the French version you have to think deeper. How the hell Belle fell in love with the Beast is a short period of time. Well, you have to consider the Nymph that haunts Belle's dream. Through the dreams she shows what the real man inside the Beast she really loves. It is the Nymphs undying love that she will do all she can to save the Beast for his eternal curse, I believe this is how Belle come around. They could have explored it more in the movie. But they rely a lot on symbolism connections with the Roses (Belle's favorite, not growing on the cottage, the reason of the demise, the castle full of roses, the tree that will destroy and at the end, roses start growing around Belle's cottage) and the phrase "More than Life itself" was spoken more than three times connects back to the Rose for the Beast. Regardless, I had been continually watching this after I was disappointed with Disney's remake.
You are an ignorant boy with your Trump views. Educate yourself, boy.
thank you for the video!
Always a pleasure
I admire his work and how their can be beauty in darkness and the weird. Would love to see Tim Burton do an adaptation of The Nutcracker. Characters in that classic Christmas have the familiar for a Tim Burton film.
Yes . I at this point I enjoy better his older work
Well in 2023 we are seing Monopolies like disney and lucas film in movies and the wwe n ufc in wrestling
True
I loveeee this movie
Me I preferred the Bradley cooper and lady gaga version of the star is born movie.
I'm 5 years late, but as someone who's now seen both movies, the French remake had already gone far above the disney one, but it would've thrown it out of the water if the movie was longer. For the main plotline, the bad tensions between Belle and the Beast at the start really set in many flaws for both the characters. Beast sentenced Belle to be his prisoner in the abandoned castle for life, but didn't even want Belle to look at his monstrous form despite the mission to make her fall for him due to insecurity. Belle who was determined for the beast to not see her fear him for the eternal stay, she downright had already berated the beast for his form and personality. Being the cause of her father's near death and her imprisonment, she had no reason to see him through. These two had a great many problems to work through at the beginning, the only problem is that there isn't any time in the movie for them to do so.
Wow it’s been five years since I posted this video. But yeah even though the French version is better it’s not perfect. That’s why the original French version and the original Disney version are better than there own remakes.
Also, I'm an inspiring writer, so now I need to dump all my excess ideas down in terms of the French remake. -The beast was originally the King of the abandoned castle who was turned after accidentally killing his wife, the nymph of the forest in her deer form, with her father the forest's God, condemning him to that fate. In our introduction to the King and his Queen, all she wanted was for more time with him due to him being busy trying to slay an unidentified beast of another sort. The king promised her that he shall no longer look for the beast, as long as she gives him an heir. What if... the King in his failing relationship with his wife went through in finding and killing the beast? Before the reveal that his wife was of a greater being than he imagined, we could already see her discomfort in whatever kill he and his men brought back from hunting. The continued catches of the forest animals would soon turn into endless frustration for the Queen, and the beast whom he promised to not turn back to would also die and literally be brought to her as a literal trophy her cruel husband would present to her. The heir she was carrying all this time would be born a furry brown inhuman entity, as one final testament to her disappointing husband. "This right here, is your child. Isn't he lovely?" The king would immediately go for the monster's life, only for the woman he had known as his wife would grab his wrist in unexplainable strength. "You...vile...vile man." Unable to cope with the King any longer, she used her powers to kill him and all the humans in the radius, leaving the castle absolutely lifeless besides her, the animals, and the child she gave birth to. Suddenly, an even greater power comes from the sky. The god of the forest, her father who had warned her not to indulge in human relationships, and to never take their lives. The nymph of the forest had gotten demoted to becoming a mere human, while her child, due to his mother no longer having the power, remained an ugly, horrifying, grotesque Beast who would outlive her soon enough. With only his mother's presence that ended too soon, and the animals he couldn't communicate with, the only hope the Beast cold rely on to give him happiness was the prophecy the God of the forest, his grandfather left him. "Only by true love, shall you be freed." Thanks to his mothers unfortunate marriage, not only was the Beast was conditioned to believe no human could ever, ever cherish their beloved truly, but who could love a vile creature like him?
Probably would’ve been a better film if the Nazis didn’t throw their most talented actors, directors and producers in concentration camps.
His name is Brano not Brandon .
French remake of the Jean Cocteau version by Christophe Gans and with Léa Seydoux as La Belle and Vincent Cassel as La Bête.
