Beauty

I've been watching Disney movies and listening to the soundtracks for the past three weeks. My new favorite movie is now officially Beauty and the Beast. My mom told me this was my favorite movie when I was younger, but I guess it got shadowed by the new movies and pixar flicks that started coming out, or I just forgot. I really liked Hercules for a while though. Beauty and the Beast has such a beautiful concept and storyline. I cried wholeheartedly after watching it again (typical). This is one of the Disney movies that really look upon someone's heart and not his or her outter appearance.
I had no idea that the prince's name was Adam? He doesn't seem to look like one and the name doesn't sound as smooth to me as it should. I kept thinking the beast was like 30 years old, He turned 21 at the end of the movie.
My favorite scene is when Beast was pulled up by Belle and put on the ground of the balcony. He was just stabbed by Gaston and even though he's in complete pain, his face lights up and says "You- .. you came back" Someone as beautiful as Belle could go past someone with such hideous features and really love him, even Beast is surprised. And even though my initial reaction was what a beautiful blossoming relationship between man and woman, I definitely could sense God in this movie too.
I think you should rewatch this movie too :D This blog sounds like I'm doing a review of a movie, sorry haha. I just wanted to share my thoughts and I had no other better topic.
Now that I've done my share with watching movies, I'm going to start or finish off the books that I've wanted to read all summer.
