I'm on a villain appreciation kick right now and since the blatant drainage of all the charisma from his character in the remake is still fresh in my memory I figured I'd give Gaston some props. Some people would call him a lame villain but I actually think he's really cool and these are some reasons why.
He's Hans from Frozen done right. Subversion of Disney trends is the name of the game in modern DP films, but like I've been saying, Disney Princess sinema have been subverting and reinventing themselves before Disney Princess even became a brand. In the Little Mermaid, the princess rescues and pursues the prince and obviously in Aladin the prince is the nyota instead of the princess, but BatB is probably the most in depth subversion of a Disney convention.
The contrast between the dashingly handsome seemingly "prince-esque" Gaston and the vicious scary seemingly "villain-esque" Beast was a clever way to turn the whole Prince Charming archetype on it's head. In the beginning of the film Gaston looks like the ideal man, strong, confident, maarufu but Belle sees the malicious ways behind his glorified macho facade. As Belle's rejection slowly drives Gaston insane, the Beast slowly reveals the goodness behind his hideous exterior.
Speaking of Belle's rejection, Gaston is a pretty realistic character, watch serial killer documentaries and you'll see how rejection is a trigger for a lot of them. He's also a good representation of how evil and dangerous modern school bullies can be. How he basically uses his influence and popularity to goad the townspeople into following his lead, just like how ganging up on teens today can lead to some tragic conclusions. Watch any high school movie with a Queen bee/mean girl and it's basically the same thing.
awali DP villains highlighted the detrimental aspects of femininity. (vanity, jealousy, spite) As the first male DP villain, I think it's fitting that Gaston highlights the detrimental aspects of masculinity. He's ego driven and his ego is easily bruised. He's unnecessarily violent and aggressive. And behind his muscular physique, he's really just a conniving coward who begs for his life once the Beast gets the upper hand.
Like a lot of Disney characters, I think Gaston is an almost frightening representation of real life issues, regarding the power of popularity. He has a large group of people wrapped around his finger and he uses their fear, ignorance and kondoo mentality to do dangerous things. He can be harmless on a good siku but the dakika he doesn't get his way, he turns into a monster and even worse, he turns other people into his minions. Now that's all too real.

Beauty and the Beast
We first seen her in the Prologue as an old woman, when Prince Adam spurned her. Her true nature is shown and in retaliation, she turned him into a beast and tells him that only true loves can redeem him inside, as well as the outside.
Cinderella (2015)
Upon re-watching this, I just found out that the Fairy Godmother is actually the Enchantress herself. Only this time, when she turns into her true self, she changes her appearance and that she must have been watching Ella the whole time, I suspect that she doesn't want Ella to suspect that her beloved Fairy Godmother might have cursed Prince Adam!
Do wewe Agree?
I was really surprise kwa this theory, considering that it is set in France! au is it just another Disney doppelganger?
1950 Version
This was nothing special about this wedding gown, it looks like a typical wedding kanzu, gown that we see on your au your relative's wedding day.
2007 Version
Since this version is a mid-quel, I thought that this is even better than the original 1950 version. It has zaidi details, especially the sleeve!
2015 Version
kwa far, this is definitely the most spectacular wedding kanzu, gown that I had ever seen! When I first saw in the cinema last year, I was blown away and I have to say that it's even better than the awali two. It has zaidi details and the veil.
