“Little Belle was my idol!” The British actress explains that she is sincerely happy to have been chosen to embody the female protagonist in this new version (with live actors). For the unforgettable interpreter of Hermione from the Harry Potter saga, it’s obviously not a role among others. Emma, 27, has a strong emotional bond with the following character: “I’ve watched the cartoon thousands of times. It’s a special movie for me. It turns out that I was born in France (the story takes place in our country in the 17th century, editor’s note) and returned to England. When I was 5 years old, I took this movie with me as if it were my link to your country”, told us. The actress, who has been a goodwill ambassador for UN Women since 2014, admits that she formed her feminist beliefs in part thanks to Belle, a free and fearless young woman she “modeled”. In contrast, Emma brought a lot of herself to the screen: “I tried to make it as authentic as possible. It represents the best, compassion and generosity.” The star also inhaled a lot of modernity. Belle does not yield to the Beast’s will, but saves him. “Belle is an adventurer”, according to Miss Watson. Suffice it to say that he did not expect the help of a charming prince…
a modern hero
Books are his best allies. A nice cultural eulogy in the subtext. “Belle teaches a young girl to read: I’m glad I fought for this role, just for this”, Explains the star, who campaigns for the literacy of young girls and regularly shares photos of her leaving a book on the subway on social networks to share her literary feelings. But Beauty does not turn her back on the great love she will discover in the arms of the Beast (played by Dan Stevens from the TV series Downton Abbey), where she will see only her inner beauty. : “The music is so romantic, it takes you away!”, he gets excited.
Musical notes have a special place in this version of Bill Condon, to whom we owe it. dream girls (2007), a film adaptation of a famous Broadway show. The musical comedy spirit, which glorifies the hits that greatly contributed to the success of the 1991 film, fuels its realization. It is a music composed by Alan Menken, who was hailed with two Oscars at the time. The maestro, who was always in the adventure, composed three new works. Opportunity to see Emma Watson also has a beautiful voice.
If we faithfully find the scenes of the cartoon, then unpublished ones are not excluded. Specifically, it’s an electrifying, openly gay sequence in which Gaston’s butler Lefou confesses his love to his master in the song. In short, a fidelity to the spirit of the tale, which advocates the acceptance of difference. Action, humor, emotion, magical environments: the series is in the limelight. Be the guarantor of a great movie night: it’s simple, dear Watson!
