an actual line from "be our guest":
Life is so unnerving
For a servant who's not serving
He's not whole without a soul to wait upon
Ah, those good old days when we were useful...
hopefully the above is just a metaphor for wanting to be human again...
the 2002 version i'm watching actually has an added scene called "human again", perhaps in an attempt to remedy my particular observation about "be our guest"?
also: beast has a ton of servants if you go by the "most every inanimate object in this castle is enchanted" rule as evidenced by "be our guest".
belle's got major balls: she gives up her life to save her father's, she's a woman AND SHE READS in a provincial town, she has the servants throw her a personal, incredibly extravagant smorgasbord after the beast has strictly forbidden her eating without him, she wanders into the west wing after said meal, blatantly ignoring beast's other dire interdiction to stay the fuck out of there, AND ALMOST (PROBABLY) KILLING HIM BY MESSING WITH THE (ENCHANTED) ROSE. she also somehow escapes the castle briefly after an unsurprisingly violent confrontation, proceeds to get almost mauled by wolves, then starts beating them away with a stick. yup. also, she teaches a beast how to eat porridge delicately with a spoon.
q w/ a q; did you really watch beauty and the beast? did you really read a full blog post about beauty and the beast?
