right, so on the day of Halloween, a time for Hocus Pocus, Nightmare before Christmas, Coraline and the like, my mother decides that the film that should be played is Beauty and the Beasts Enchanted friggin Christmas....ever had to try to turn yourself into a zombie with elle singing 'as long as theres Christmas' in the backround??
Anyway, this got me thinkin about Beauty and the Beast, in the film the Beast is a proper bastard, dont care for nothin or no-one and has always been this way, however he became the Beast cos some manky old lady offered him a rose for shelter an he said no...this is not the act of bastardness in my eyes, think about it, your indoors on a horrible night, you hear a hammering on your door, you open it to find a haggard nasty grizzled old gypsy hag on your doorstep sayin 'lemme in an i'll give you a flower' who in there right minds would accept that offer...yeah yeah yeah, that might sound harsh, but would you?
I think not, i mean sure, i'd prolly give her directions to the nearest bed and breakfast, but lettin a absolute stranger into my house jus cos it was rainin? hell no, especially if all they offered in return was a bloody flower...and theres another thing, why would you offer a dude a flower, yeah sure there are some guys who would gladly welcome the gift of a rose, but you wouldn't offer it to any random guy! so.....in conclusion, the Beast was just some regular guy, who was prolly just having a bad day (as we all do once in a while) who didnt let some scabby old hag into his house, and cos she was a absolute bitch, she fucked him right up.
Who does things like that, does she just go from house to house expecting people to let her in? if she's that desperate for lodgings she should go to a motel, she's a bloody enchantress, she could magic up her own one!
so second conclusion, she's a bitch, the Beast was just a normal guy drove to depression!
