La belle et la bête (The Beauty and the Beast) French trailer

[obisgirl]

1720. After the wreck of his ships, a financially-ruined merchant exiles himself in the countryside with his six children. Among them is Beauty, his youngest daughter, a joyful girl full of grace. One day, during an arduous journey, the merchant stumbles across the magical domain of the Beast, who sentences him to death for stealing a rose.

Feeling responsible for the terrible fate which has befallen her family, Beauty decides to sacrifice herself and take her father’s place. At the Beast’s castle, it is not death that awaits Beauty, but a strange life in which fantastical moments mingle with gaiety and melancholy. Every night, at dinner, Beauty and the Beast sit down together.

They learn about each other, taming one another like two strangers who are total opposites. When she has to repulse his amorous advances, Beauty tries to pierce the mysteries of the Beast and his domain. And when night falls, the Beast’s past is revealed to her bit by bit in her dreams. It is a tragic story, which tells her that this solitary and fearsome being was once a majestic prince. Armed with her courage, ignoring every danger, and opening her heart, Beauty manages to release the Beast from his curse. And in doing so, she discovers true love.

I wish we saw more of the Beast. Looks pretty awesome though. Kind of reminds me of Pan’s Labyrinth.

I can stumble may way through it. I do dead languages that no one outside of academia care about 🙂

Let me guess Norse, Old English, and Old French

Uh…not that obscure. lol 🙂

Greek and Latin. My education focus in the Greco-Roman world and its relationship to the earliest forms of Christianity.

I was taught Chaucer in the original Middle English, and can muddle my way through Old Norse (like any good Norske man).

Small world, Rumple’s Girl! I know a bit of Latin and Greek myself, but in my case it’s strictly a hobby so I’m not very good at it. To be honest, my Latin is a bit rusty and I’ve only started learning Greek. Loving ancient Greek and Roman literature, I wanted to try to read them in the originals, instead of translations. That love of classical literature, along with fairy tales, is part of what attracted me to Once in the first place.

I always wanted to learn Norse, storyteller. Maybe someday I’ll get around to it and read the sagas in their original language!

Of course, I want to learn French too. Then I could really enjoy this movie!
