What an obvious Kremlin shill! Why do we allow Russian influencing our movies? Just because there is a gay character and USSR can't be progressive, doesn't mean we will stand to have our country hacked, bribed, and gutted by Putin.

Depends on the society near you

In some places they're just aggressive

>>90793462
They haven't.

The way adults, all over the world, behave today, is atrocious. Horrible, greedy, cowardly, spoiled things, encouraging each other to have kids and play house just to validate their empty, tragic existence.

Not to say having a family is bad. Just that no one is doing it correctly, have any real values or have any actual concern for the near future and just want to leave a mark on the world in some way, even if they have to pollute it.

Nah, senpai, that's what every generation says and does. You're just an adult now, so you're being introduced to adults as they treat each other and not pose for children.

The human race is a big fugazi, a big play. Some people rebelling childishly against the idea of adulthood and some people thinking childishly that to be adult is to be self-serious, pompous and anal about rule and order. Human condition. Personally finding meditation helps with that.

Not most people. There is a hell of a lot of collateral damage in this dept.

>>90793794
It sounds counter-intuitive, but I find that when you give people the opportunity to be better, they will be. Cynicism is understandable as a perspective, looking at the world and general human history, but I think that it's self-perpetuating. Humans acting horribly because they assume everyone else will.

I try not to think too much about other people either good or ill. Comparison with others, whether you think them superior or inferior to yourself, whether you base that judgement on ethics or how hard they work or sexuality or whatever, ends up getting you caught in emotional traps.

I can sympathise with 'fucking off to the wild', to be honest, anon; I do think that we're getting increasingly out of touch with nature, and that's for the worse.

But they aren't being challenged. They are the ones who are going to live on and pass on their ways. Because their way works, while everyone else is being driven like chattel into the wild or into serfdom.

I know this isn't /co/ related but this is why people have a knee-jerk response of "edgy" because they're so used to endless horse shit and don't want to be reminded of their neutered state of being.

>>90793338
ide go see a disney made live action alladin.

>>90793731
That's not true

>>90793983
I actually agree on that front, anon. I won't say 'their way works' because that suggests that those with power are working in the best interests of everyone, but it does work for them.

And their methods do need to be challenged or at least not played into.

People don't like being reminded that they lack power. I think that people have a response of edgy to that, yes, but I do think tact is important as well if you want people to listen.

>>90794161
Give it a look, it's a bit dense/esoteric at first but it deals with a lot of the concepts of power relations and how those with power are able to keep those without complacent. It's an interesting read, I think you'd enjoy it (based on 3 or 4 anonymous messages sent on an imageboard lel),

What does keep people caring about the Oscars.

I'm a film fan, I care about film. But why is so much energy expended by news media covering what amounts to a self-congratulatory award ceremony for the ultra-rich? What's achieved there? There's very little artistry involved. Yes, it's ostensibly celebrating artists, but the Academy could do that without so much overblown pomp. What's all the spectacle for?

>trying to sell French stories in the official year of the muslim

>>90793297
Fuck critics. This movie is going to be a success. Disney doesn't make bad movies.

>>90794267
>What's all the spectacle for?

At this point the award ceremony should be private, just for the people who want to show up to the afterparty and eat swan meat and do tons of cocaine or whatever they do.

Maybe if they advertised the gay character more it would havd gotten some special tumble brownie points

Nigga, nobody but WBfags care. They repeat it like a mantra and everybody just laughs at them for being so retarded.

Also, how was Strange cucked? The only Oscar it was seriously up for wasn't even in the same category that SS won. Do you know what 'cucked' actually means?

Mulan may flop. These days the idea of Ra Ra Girl Power is a dangerous risk. This isn't the 90s anymore. A lot of people, especially men, are tired of this Gynocentric shit. Wonder Woman's film is going to determine whether or not Girl Power still sells. If WW flops? Then Mulan is in serious shit.

>>90795601
It's a bad acting choice.

The audience knows that "Tom, Dick or Harry" is the traditional phrase, and therefore "Stanley" written in to complete the rhyme is a joke to the audience--but LeFou in 18th century France wouldn't know that, which is why it should be played/sung straight.

The actor decided it was necessary to break character and comment on the line, which oversells its humor and kills it. And the director, being a hack, allowed this.

>>90795721
People won't watch the Mulan remake for girl power shit, they'll watch it to hear "I'll Make a Man Out of You" on a big screen again, and it will be boycotted it if it doesn't have a 100% non white cast.

>>90795721

No, Asians are also privileged so people will be asking "where are the black people" despite it being an Asian movie.

>>90795957
Can you tell us what did it have better over the original?

I personally liked new Jungle Book over old Jungle Book because it told a more coherent story, but everything I see about new B&B just makes it look like a 1:1 remake.

>>90795721
by any chance how much have you interacted with other men outside of 4chan?

>>90795721
>a lot of [trumpkins and socially out of touch men on 4chan] are tired of this [perceived] gynocentric [media]

In any case, Mulan transcends "girl power" movies, it's about a mythic national military hero who was also a woman. Also, Chinese market.

it is a 1:1 remake, however some of the flaws of the original stemmed from the fact that it was a product of it's time and made for kids. With the remake being more modern and meant for everyone it feels more down to earth and well, human. other than that you're right though, it's literally just beauty and the beast. it's not a dramatic take or someone else vision, just beauty and the beast updated for modern audiences. and that update gives it the minor edge for me.

BFG, Alice 2, and Pete's Dragon were three of last year's biggest flops.

>>90796152
>So the exact same thing?
not literally a 1:1 remake. I meant it figuratively as in there's not enough change to the core story, characters, dialogue, etc to be considered a new take on beauty and the beast. it's just beauty and the beast updated for the modern audience.

>What the fuck does that even mean?
The changes they did make were to fix the problems of the movie being a product of it's time. Things like Gaston being an actual sociopath rather than just MANLY AND EVIL, LeFou actually being gay instead of Smee (him paying the people to sing "gaston" instead of gaston just being THAT liked is one of those little improvements over the original.), the beast and belles relationship not coming off as Stockholm syndromey, etc. These little changes give it an edge but all in all it's the same movie. if you liked the original you'll like this one.

>>90796205
It's literally just a reference to the last few lines in a song in the film (around like 2:10). Or at least the original film. I haven't seen this remake so I have no idea if they canned it or not.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwZEcdBMLLU

>>90796205
I guess it's a reference to how its publicity is focusing so much on how progressive it is for having a gay character and a few minorities in unimportant roles but in the end it's the same old story of the girl that falls in love with the rich monster that captures her.

>>90796360
I haven't seen it yet, but I do like the idea of Beast being more civilized rather than not even knowing how to read or eat in a table despite being a fucking prince.

>>90796435
The beast is way more developed than before and there's more of a reason for belle to fall in love with him besides "he's kind (even though I was his prisoner a while ago)". still doesn't get a name though.

I'm laughing so hard at Emma Watson picking this shitty Disney remake over La La Land. It's even better when you compare how good Emma Stone was in that to how dire Watson is here, it just shows the difference in charisma.

>>90796830
Yeah, I can't imagine at all why a female would ever jump at the chance to actually become a disney princess.

>>90796634
Even if they spent 0 on marketing it would still be a flop because they only get half the money.

>>90796891
>actresses get to be Disney princesses
>actors get to be superheroes
What a time to be alive!

>>90796830
Honestly, Watson made the right choice dropping La La Land for this. That musical was boring as fuck and completely undeserving of all the hype. It was pretentious without the substance that warrants it, artsy without being artistic, and the sets drifted from ironically cliched art film to cheap high school play. Watson knew that any disney movie will make a fuck ton of money so she went with it over a dumb movie that wouldn't sell well. She probably just turned on acting auto-pilot like Natalie Portman in the star wars prequels and she will cry over the poor reviews all the way to the bank.

They should have made Beauty and the Beast a superhero movie about Beast using his superhuman powers to help people. Gaston gets jealous and Belle falls in love with him, but Beast has to spurn her love since if his curse is lifted he can't protect the city from EVIL WOLVES AND WITCHES anymore. "I'll make sure no one else has to suffer the way I did!"

>>90796953
they should have had a polygamous relationship with Beast ending up with both Gaston and Belle.

>>90796953
There was a tv series like that where he lived in the sewers or something I believe. The 90's/00's were a hell of a drug.

>>90796988
Isn't there a very recent one where the "Beast" is just a handsome guy with a scar on his face?

>>90796988
Whoa that's awesome! Know the name of it? He should have teamed up with the Hunchback. Hunchback v. Beast would make a great movie/TV special.

>>90797782
Regardless they tear Emma Watson apart

>>90793297
Why didn't the Emma Watson just "Adieu" herself out of the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises? Seriously each remake following the girl wonder and her pals the Castle Furniture as they fight frightened villagers has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Disney approved the idea to live-action the series; they made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for their "vaults". The Beauty and the Beast series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-Harry Potter series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the original was good though

"No!" The characters are dreadful; the songs are terrible. As I watched, I noticed that every time a character underwent an emotional change, the movie instead had the character "sing a song."

I began marking on the back of a box of crab legs every time that trope was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the box several dozen times. I was incredulous. Disney's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that they have no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Beauty and the Beast by the same Alan Menkin. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are watching Beauty and the Beast at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to watch Sausage Party." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you watch "Beauty and the Beast" you are, in fact, trained to watch Sausage Party.

>>90797806

That's what is supposed to happen in the musical; songs are supposed to divulge important character development or advance the plot. That is part of the reason I disliked La La Land because only one song actually did this. At least in Beauty and the Beast the songs were memorable.
But yes, this movie is for kids. That's what nearly all disney movies are for. This film isn't supposed to be some stellar work of cinema. Did you think Great Mouse Detective was marketed towards adults? No.

This is the kind of logic that lowers the bar every generation. Keep shoveling lack-luster shit on kids, and that will be their standard. Then they'll use the same logic to shovel out another lazy production for their kids, and repeat.

Is it making money? Turns out people do want to watch it.

>>90798189

You can just choose not to watch something. Your impulsive desire to consume whatever media is readily available to you has little to no weight on its quality.

>>90798915
Because it was sexist.

Y'know when tumblr of all places called her out on it then you know that was a stupid ass reason.

>>90799340
Honestly, I did. I don't really recall the last time I went to a theater, though I do recall it was because I actually wanted to see a specific film, not just to go to the movies. I stopped watching TV some time ago as well, and just choose specifically what I want to watch online.

So if someone chooses not to watch things they don't want to watch, they're a fedora-tipping trench coat mafia boss? That seems to conflict the previous argument of being an impulsive consumer. You either do one thing and are wrong, or do the other thing and are wrong?

If those are the options, I'd at least opt for the one that saves me my time and money.

What? There's been a constant push in the media (both news and entertainment) basically saying that kids are a horrible burden that shackle you and that you can't afford and that living the child free life should be the millennial ideal.

If anything, combined with other things there's a marked effort to de-emphasize the concept of the family in modern society.

I don't think he's actually gay. What probably happened was that the organised preliminary screenings got a really lukewarm reception and they decided to put a "gay button" in to up the critical factor because they know critics/reviewers are more interested in being politically and socially relevant than giving a review/opinion on the technical aspects of a movie like acting, set design or story or whatever.

"So is the acting good?"
>"Socially relevant and courageous"
"Yes, yes, but was the acting GOOD? Convincing?"

Also how much the theatre lost their shit when one of the goons seemed to enjoy being forcible dressed up like a woman by Madame de Garderobe, and when LeFou danced with another man.

That's when adaptations of animated movies fail at this.

You can easily have any kind of person in animated movies without worrying having to show the actual person. Only thing to worry, is the voice and how it sounds.

In adaptations, you have to worry about this, because you need to follow closely the original source and it's context. And that depends on how much talent for a specific race. And guess what? It's limited. See Ghost in Shell's "whitewashing", because they couldn't find a suitable asian actor to cast for it. And as the result, it doesn't follow the context properly and failed horribly.

Come on mate, this is a common critique.

I don't think it makes it more generic and appealing though, it's live action, the genre isn't inherently generic unless you think that way.
Not that I'm a fan of these live action remakes at all, animation is the way for me but from what I've heard these aren't that bad at all and they've put work into trying to make these something good. I've seen Jungle Book, it was decent but none of the others. I watched a bit of Cinderella once but something about the way the actor smiled threw me off and I stopped.

Is there anyone here who's a big fan of the originals and quite enjoys the remakes we've been seeing? A lot of them are just the same story with little differences, just not animated this time.

>>90804926
My problem with all these live action adaptations is how lazy and unoriginal they are. They only tweak little things and play them off as revolutionary (gay Lefou).

Moreover, they think they're creating something better than the source material, by making it either more "diverse" or more feminist. I recall a comment from one of the actors saying that this new version of Belle is "not just another princess" which made me think "why is being a Disney Princess suddenly a bad thing?"

>>90803033

They totally had a suitable asian actress for it. It's just that ScarJo would bring in more money and the eastern market (China and Japan) don't really give a shit about whitewashing.

The movie looks awful anyways, with whitewashing and without.

>>90805403
Gaston is more of an asshole in the movie. He even ties up crazy old Maurice to a tree so he can get eaten by wolves.

>>90805458
not until it is internationally known as "Suicide Bridge" the sign is mostly there to try and stop people from killing themselves because it's bad press for Japan.

>>90793297
Cinemasnob said it was okay, but doesn't know why they even bothered making it other than $$$. He said it's like they added another 20min to the original animated version to give some characters development but that's it. If you're going in expecting something totally different you'll be disappointed.

>>90805598
The hope is that the signs, additonal patrols and other security will reduce the suicide rate in the forest by a fifth by seven years after they were posted. No idea if they've worked.

It's funny because all they really needed apparently was a nice old man that would talk to the people and offer them some tea.

They finally approved it but there's been 2 delays so far. Supposedly construction starts this year and it will take 3 years.

>The bridge district’s barrier plan calls for a net extending 20 feet below and 20 feet from the side of the span, although it will have to be modified in certain areas because of surrounding terrain. It would take about three years to build.

>While people could still jump into the net, such occurrences might be rare because the net would act as a deterrent. A similar net was placed more than a decade ago on the Munster Terrace cathedral in Bern, Switzerland, and since then no suicide attempts have been reported.

Just came back from a showing of it. It was of course not as good as the original but it was pretty good. Emma was actually maybe the worst part of it whenever belle is supposed to feel enchanted or enraptured by the magic of the castle I just felt she wasn't selling it enough, but there is one stand out moment where Emma is singing Madame Gaston where she just really sells being upset really well.
The opening was the worst part I guess because the actors hammed it up in a really boring way for the townie song.
Generally the musical direction was less appealing to me then the original as well on Be Our Guest they lost the sorta slight off set on the choral parts during the rising part towards the end as well as the singers singing a lower harmony on it and that bugged the hell out of me.
It was still a lot of fun and I can see a young child going to see this in the theaters and growing up loving it so I think it did its job just fine.

They should've got Emma Rossum, they really fucked up that cor Belle

How come suicide is only so predominate in first world countries?

My assumption is the lack fo unity within family. When people do have families now they honestly have no idea what they are doing or wwhy its so valuable to themselves and society as a whole and neglect it.

People lean more and more to individualism as a result of being betrayed be their families ect ect. A very depressing environment. people having smaller and smaller families also meant the elderly had to rely on the government more and more as it became more difficult for the family to micro manage as it became smaller on average.

>>90807317
I think it is a sense of meaninglessness to life brought about by industrialization coupled with the resources or education to establish this meaninglessness.

>>90807235
She's 30, just 4 years older than Watson

>>90807403
Well, family can bring a very strong meaning to life, especially when you have a wife and children.

But a lot of people i knew grew up with a single parent or broken/breaking family on average. You then turn to worth in materialism when that emotional fulfillment is lacking, but then the materialism is also bleak and purposeless.

For me, the family is the country on the molecular level. Every class and age is accounted for. The elderly, men women, children. Its very important to make sure families are catered to the most in that sense because of this.

>Emma Watson turned down La La Land for this

Wonder what she's thinking

>>90807482
I don't care about owning anything and I'm never gonna have a spouse or children. And I think many others are the same way? What are they to do? What about the people like them in countries where most of the stuff you say is already the norm? Countries like Japan for instance.

>>90807652
Honestly, i was like this but i fell in love with someone i met off vee and now my life has never been more dank.

I'd say devote yourself to a skill you enjoy and benefits the country, or try falling in love, if you feel directionless that is. Family isn't for everyone, but having no purpose will probably be more harm than good in the end. You just have to find something that works for you.

>>90807752
I have a purpose. I write and edit comics for all-ages audiences. So I guess there's that. I've tried falling in love but no one will have me. But this ain't a blog thread. This is about Beauty and the Beast. So I'll get back to that.

>>90807489

Not that much, but since murder rates are lower and violent deaths are rarer in the first world, suicides have a relatively bigger impact.

I'm saying there is no culture at all.

Also, culture does not equal race, maybe educate yourself a bit if you're going to attack an actual white supremacist in the near future.

>>90793462
Millennials are the first generation to grow up so coddled since perhaps Victorian England, and before that the Renaissance, and before that the early days of Imperial Rome.

In other words, abundance and prosperity are thus far the most culturally destructive phenomena imaginable. It castrate entire societies in just a few years.

Disney would NEVER be capable of making ANY kind of KH anything. Not even a 5 minute short where say Sora is fighting Lingering Will with no dialogue (so think something akin to some segments of Samurai Jack).

But why would Disney be incapable of doing this? For one thing KH is very action oriented. The second and most problematic aspect of KH? It's a story of a boy going on adventure. A white boy who combats evil antagonists and aims to defeat more.

Disney is for GIRLS. The concept of a competent white male is disgusting to that Estrogen leaking company. Hell if they made a KH anything? Bet you money that they'd make Sora even dumber than what Nomura has done and make him suck so horribly at fighting (like Eugene from Tangled) that Kairi is the true protagonist and she's a top untouchable infallible Mary Sue like Rey from DISNEY Star Wars.

Good God man, you don't ask the most Gynocentric corporation in the planet to make something that's male-friendly. To work at Disney you need to be a woman or a castrated emasculated beta male.

I wish it was that simple.

Sounds like Birth by Sleep to me.

>>90809484
Birth by Sleep was shit. So all the male characters are either retarded or get their asses handed to them by a twat who is unrealistically competent because Girl Power bullshit about a female character who is a Man with Tits even though women IRL are NOTHING like that? Fuck Nomura. And lately Nomura has been spamming Aqua in places where she doesn't belong like in KH1's ending. Fuck that mangina.

Honestly by now I expect KH3 to have Sora be so shitty at everything I expect Kairi to randomly surpass him in power and fighting skill because Nomura just loves shitting on the protagonist to make every other character look good.

>>90793473
Disney is known for its catastrophic flops as much as its successes.
They were in dire straits in the 70s and 80s until Little Mermaid saved them for a while. Then again in the 90s until Pixar kept them afloat.

>>90809067
>A white boy
I don't play it, but isn't it Japanese?

>>90809919
Sora isn't Japanese. He's obviously Caucasian (white). Come to think of it, in Dream Drop Distance Sora meets the cast of The World Ends With You who are factually Japanese. When he first hears Neku's name even he comments that it's an unusual name (because Sora has never been to Japan). Even Riku also comments that Beat's true Japanese name is complicated as well.

Princess Eilonwy isn't a Disney Princess because The Black Cauldron didn't do well.

Atlantis: The Lost Empire didn't meet expectations. It was supposed to be a big hit, and there was going to be a follow-up television series and underwater attraction at their park. Princess Kida never became a Disney Princess either.

At least they pretend to try and make the effort to be monogamous. If you're gonna go to Japan you might as well just hire a prostitute since most of the time they'll be about as loyal.

>>90807388
You're kinda doing it wrong if you use a town of 60,000 to a country of a hundred million. Also not factoring in how cases are reported. A lot of countries will hide suicide rates by simply filing cases as missing or unsolved homicide for years. The US has high infant mortality due to how we'll count a baby that lives five minutes outside the womb, Cuba in comparison only counts 2 to 5 year olds as infants.
