I just saw Belle on Sunday night. I have no words to describe how much I now love this movie. I want it to get every award there is. The animation was so gorgeous. I'm not a anime fan but this is trying very hard to change it. I think Disney has been put in they're place. Oh, and the music! I danced and I sobbed. Warning: This film may cause uncontrollable sobbing.
Belle is about 17 year old Suzu. Since her mother's death, she has become shy and standoffish. She no longer embraces music as that is a tie she had with her mother. Suzu's best friend (who never takes no for an answer), sends her the link to a VR game called U. There Suzu finds the courage to sing with the anonymity her Avatar, Belle, provides. While on U, she encounters a mysterious player known as The Beast.
I can't tell you what happens next because I have a tendency to over share and will probably tell you what happens in the end. But what I will say is that it's unexpected and so very good. Below are some pictures of the movie, a mashup of the music and the Trailer.
If that doesn't make you want to watch the movie, I don't know what will. If you've seen it and loved it, feel totally free to comment below. I'm trying to avoid another Hamilton incident. How was I to know that I was surrounded by undeserving music snobs? I'm not going to share this with the sibs as they tend to be a wee bit snobbish. I want to talk to people who appreciate the artistry of this film. Also, feel free to comment if you didn't see it. I won't judge.
