    Gaston having traditional values is certainly commendable, but you can’t blame Belle for being repulsed by his narcissism. Besides, there’s plenty of other women in the village who would’ve happily said yes to him. Why pursue a woman who keeps saying no?

      Even though Gaston is depicted as extrovertly narcissistic, what about bell ? Her narcissism is imbedded and much more pernicious. Her father was the enabler sheltering her from any responsibility or duty. She developed an aversion to being subservient to something greater than herself. She’s an avid reader yet there’s no indication that she’s reading any works of substance, instead focusing on harlequin type novels to feed her narcissistic delusions.

    Disagree on the Beauty and the Beast analysis. Gaston was a jerk, probably borderline sexual assaulter, and creep. Belle did know the Beast was human because of the painting of him and the conversations with the talking furniture. And Gaston didn't go to save Belle out of love, it was jealousy, ego, and the accolade of killing the creature.

      Gaston in the animated movie is one of the best portrayals of a vain, egocentric person put on film. Compassion for others is foreign to him. Manipulation and self love are his life. Emptiness is his soul.
      Beast was nearly all of these things too. Both had many chances to change for the better. One took that chance and the other did not. What Gaston was, Beast used to be. Another defining part is that while Beast was threatening and tempted to kill, he ultimately chose not to cross that line. Gaston, on the other hand, became murderous.

    Scar actually wasn't his real name. It was a nickname he picked. His real name was Taka, which translates to "trash," while Mufasa translates to "king." It's arguably worse to name one kid trash and another king. No wonder Scar hated Mufasa so bad.

    Gaston isn't hideous because he's muscular, it's because he's self-absorbed and absolutely incapable of loving anyone but himself. For the prince Beast is a reflection of his inner self when he is cursed Belle is disgusted by the beast when she first sees it. And when the beast turns into a prince, he is not some abnormally ugly man, on the contrary, he is quite masculine

      Also, Gaston didn't love Belle. He loved what Belle could give him. Namely, the most beautiful wife, self centered boys like himself, a servant who did everything he wanted. Belle wasn't someone to love and cherish, but one more trophy to hang on his wall.

      ​@@charlessapp1835I tend to agree with you. We can see a sort of narcissistic behaviour from Gaston, only caring about how he looks and not whether Belle loves him back. What if Belle did marry Gaston after he would have killed the Beast? Would Gaston have been faithful to her? They really emphasize the weird relationship between Belle and Gaston in the live-action version of this movie. They make it as though Gaston has some kind of obsession with marrying Belle. It's sad really that he has this narcissistic behaviour because he is otherwise kinda attractive. Funny how there are a lot of things I didn't notice when I was watching this as a little girl. That's how good Disney was at seamlessly pushing their woke agenda, even back in the 90's.

There were essentially two options for Belle: a partner that was ugly on the inside but attractive, and a partner that was attractive on the inside but ugly. Does appearance matter for love? If so, how much? It's the equivalent of the Hunchbank of Notre Dame line "What makes a monster and what makes a man?". It's not "woke", it's a classic movie TROPE that COUNTLESS books, non-animated and animated films(not by disney like Shrek) play into.

    Fun fact about Beauty And The Beast. The story has been rewritten many times, but the original story was in the late 1700's.The original story was a LOT more complex...also Beast was just as much a victim as Bell (who's name was Beauty, not Bell) In the original, prince Adam was not cursed for being mean to an old lady, he was cursed for *spurning the unwelcome romantic **_advances_* of an old woman, who was also his former nanny....Chris Hanson? Where you at? I'll summarize bellow.
    In the original, before the events of the story there's a prologue. Two fairies, one old, even by fae standards is board and goes to the human world for a change of pace, getting a job caring for the then toddler age prince Adam. Meanwhile a king and queen from a nearby kingdom are killed by assassins and their infant daughter is about to be killed. Another, young and beautiful fairy spirits the baby away. Looking for somewhere safe for the girl, the good fairy finds a family that just had a baby, but their baby died in its sleep. The good fairy swaps the princess for the child that died.
    Much later, puberty hits prince Adam like a truck. He's grown into a handsome young man who is also kind, generous and noble. The old fairy, gets ideas...gross ideas. She approaches him and proposes marriage, fully expecting him to reciprocate her feelings and does NOT take rejection well. She curses him with her fairy magic.
    Now, in the world the author made, there are limitations on curses. Basically powerful curses have to have a 'way out' clause to function. There has to be a built in way to break them. That key to breaking them can be convoluted and *almost* impossible, but it does have to be possible.
    The curse turned him into a sort of lizard man (yeah, in the later version he was more like a lion man or something, in the original he was more dragon-esk) The fairy would lift the curse if he agrees to marry her and it will kill him after a certain amount of time.
    The way out clause had the following rules.
    1. To break the curse, he had to get a woman of royal birth to say she loved him and agree to marry him.
    2. While physically in her presence, he had to act like he was mentally challenged.
    3. He could tell her nothing about the curse
    After that all happened, the good fairy from the prologue approached him with a plan. She orchestrated Beauty's father stealing from the castle. He did do it on his own, but the fairy pretty much knew he would and trading his freedom for Beauty taking his place as a prisoner? His idea, the fairy lead him to it, but he still suggested it once lead to the idea. (dad of the year everybody).
    Now a fun fact. In the original, it wasn't Beast who needed to learn a lesson, it was Beauty. She was kind, generous and a good person, but she was also vain and judgmental. She needed to learn to not judge a book by its cover basically.
    Every evening, Beast would invite her to dine with him. He would make small talk, pretending to be dumb, then at the end of the meal, he would ask her to marry him. She would disgustedly refuse and he would storm away crying. Then she would head back to her room and go to bed. Now, the good fairy had found a loophole in the rules for the curse. The second rule, where it mentioned being *physically* in her presence. She used her magic to allow him to enter her dreams as his true self. He still couldn't tell her who he really was or anything about the curse, but he could talk to her without pretending to be stupid.
    Beauty was _immediately_ smitten with him. They would talk through the night then when morning was near, he would ask her to marry him using the same phrasing that he had the evening before. She would agree, then wake up.
    That continued for a while until she started to realize that Beast was not a monster and she eventually figured out that he and the prince from her dreams were one and the same person. One night when he asked her to marry him, she said yes, and told him she loved him, breaking the curse.

    Gaston is a narcissistic jerk. Never gave a damn about what Belle wanted. When Belles father told him about the beast and Belle’s imprisonment, Gaston laughed at him, called him crazy and threw him out. He then had Belle’s father thrown in an asylum and tried to force Belle to marry him. After he learned Belle had feelings for the beast, he went into a fit of homicidal jealousy and rallied a mob to kill the beast. After beast beat him and showed mercy, Gaston slipped and fell to his death after LITERALLY stabbing him in the back.

    I am the exact same age as Matt, and I personally love Bambi. It is exquisitely beautiful and poetic. The characters are charming, and the death scene is heartbreaking. (Admittedly, I was an odd child with unusual preferences) My father complained about Bambi stating it portrayed hunters inaccurately, shooting indiscriminately without looking and repeatedly setting the forest afire. He said no hunter would kill a doe with a fawn next to her. Hunters are typically conservationists because they want to ensure there is a forest full of animals to hunt for generations. Killing anything that moves and burning it all down endangers the forest, animals, and the hunters themselves.
    The novel itself is believed to be an allegory of the persecution of Jews. The author was Jewish and suffered through growing antisemitism in Europe between the world wars. The lonely existence of a hunted animal.

Gaston is the closest thing they have to a prince (it's in one of the scores they call him a prince which isn't really common or possible he's just wealthy) so what made him wealthy? He's most likely the huntsman of the village. He's not just the huntsman but he's taking more than his fair share. He eats 2 dozen eggs etc. And everyone wants to be like him because they are starving and he's hoarding the food. Just keep that in mind.

Even if you didn't like Belle cause you thought she was looking down on everyone how could you think Gaston was good when he literally 3 times mentiones that Belle's father is crazy, that he wants to have a Belle as his wife only beacuse he deserves the best girl in town (not because he likes her, not a single thing about her character makes him have a crush on her expect that he DESERVES a pretty girl), when he goes to her house he literally barges in and you can clearly see she feels uncomfortable, he once again puts mud on her book (mind you, he came to propose but he literally put his dirty shoes on her dining table?), then he says he wants to have kids but he only wants boys (as if it was sth you could choose but also he wants a lot of kids but only boys, why not even one girl? Shows you how little he cares) and at the end he literally pins her to the door and she is desperately looking for a handle. It all happend before Belle even decided to leave the village and you tell me he was good? At what point did you feel he was okay 🤨? Gen asking cause when I was little the only two things I felt about Gaston was that I felt uncomfortable with his actions and I was angry how disrecpectful he was towards her dad. I also had a problem with Beast, I don't think he is perfect and you can argue that Beast wasn't nice to her father also but you have to remember a Beast thought her dad was an intruder or wanted to steal sth so....and even when Belle came to rescue her father the Beast didn't care if she was a girl or a boy, he wanted to punish a person so he did. So in the end Beast and Gaston are really different and Beast was a lot better person and a choice for Belle.

      IK this is Matt being satirical, but Belle actually did figure it out. Before, she explores the forbidden West Wing, she's having a conversation with both Lumiere and Cogsworth about a possible evil spell that has transformed everyone (including the Beast) in the castle. Before, the Beast catches her in the forbidden West Wing, she sees a clawed out photo of him and only sees his eyes. Which is why the shot at Human Beast eyes was reiterated, again, to show Belle had freed the Beast and everyone else in the castle from their spell. She tried to reform the clawed photo but then Beast interrupted her doing so. Had Belle been able to put the full picture together, literally, she would've recognized Human Beast, as soon as he transformed. Which is why the hone in on the eyes was an important shot to be included 'cause that's all Belle gathered upon her investigation.

    Gaston's ambitions to become a husband and father are actually good but are not why he is the villain of the story. He is the villain of the story because of his narcissism and lack of genuine concern for others. Belle isn't actually much better since we mainly only see her concerned about herself as well at the start of the film but my point is that there is more than just Belle's feminism going on to make Gaston undesirable. He's utterly unconcerned with Belle's needs and desires, which is not how a good provider should be. He also doesn't take the time to properly court Belle, jumping straight into a marriage proposal without even meeting her father. Most significantly, look at how Gaston treats LeFou. He'd obviously treat anyone around him that way including his wife and any children he might have and Belle doesn't want to be on the receiving end of that. So to be a good husband, being manly is good but it isn't enough by itself.
    On the other hand, I don't think Gaston was irredeemable. He just needed to learn some humility and to prefer others over himself. Then with his obvious strengths and talents, he could be a great man.

    The whole "scar" naming thing is actually worse, because according to the book "A Tale of Two Brothers," Scar gave himself the name. His birth name was "Taka" which means "waste" in Swahili. This is compared to his brother, Mufasa, which means "king."

    In regards to Gaston:
    1. He said to Belle, "It's not right for a woman to read because then she'll start getting ideas and thinking."
    Considering that Belle loved to read and Gaston saw women as less than, that doesn't sound like it would have led to a happily ever after for Belle if she had hooked up with him. Plus, any guy who doesn't value a woman's right to think for herself isn't a very nice guy.
    2. He proposed to Belle, with the wedding already planned and ready to go that day, even though he had never even dated her or asked her if she was even interested in him. Does that not strike you as odd?! This is comparable to your criticism of Snow White eating the poisonous apple. Of course, Belle would feel uncomfortable and opened the door to let him out. She didn't push him out, btw, he did that himself when he leaned in for a kiss that she moved out of the way for.
    3. Gaston didn't believe Belle's father when he told him that Belle was locked up in a dungeon by a horrible beast. In fact, he had convinced a shrink to help him blackmail Belle to marry him. Gaston, the shrink, and the asylum staff showed up at Belle's house to take away Belle's father and lock him up in an asylum. When Belle protested (the beast let her go), Gaston told her that he might be able to clear up that little misunderstanding if she married him.
    Do you really think that behavior represents traditional values?! Did you forget this part or what? I find your analysis on this one confusing and way off. Maybe you should re-watch it.
    4. Gaston didn't storm over to the castle to rescue Belle from the beast. Gaston locked her locked up with her father in a cellar, so they couldn't warn the beast that Gaston and the villagers were on their way to kill him. Belle even told Gaston that the beast was nice and kind, but he didn't care and wanted to kill him anyway. So, Gaston told the villagers a bunch of lies about the beast to get them to join him in his mission to kill the beast.
    Again, those are not traditional values, and Gaston was no saint. Plus, you misrepresented why Gaston stormed the castle with the intention to kill the beast.

  • @adnanbey4871
    @adnanbey4871 Před 4 měsíci +2

    Gaston is misuderstood but you're definitely missing something here. "See what whacky old coot is Belle's father, and his sanity's only so-so. Now the wheels in my head have been turning since I looked at that loony old man. I promised myself I'd be married to Belle and right now I'm evolving a plan!"
    He fought to throw Maurice in an asylum to emotionally force Belle to marry him. It's like, the plot is right there in the film. He was not innocent, that level of emotional pressure is never okay. He plots with the evil asylum man to do it too, bribes him too. He only marches on the Beast when it turns out Belle had feelings for him.

    My best friend actually had a theory about the end of Snow White that the prince, when he sweeps her off her feet and rides off into the sunset, is actually taking her to heaven. This is supported by, in the direction they're riding off, the castle is seen in the clouds. This would actually make the prince more of an angel of death that escorts her up to the kingdom of heaven. When you think about it in that light, it actually makes the end of the story much, much sadder than it is.

    Gaston was portrayed as a sexiest jerk. That's why you're meant to hate him. Not cause of anything else. If you just remember, he couldn't take no for an answer and Belle had expressed before his proposal that she wasn't interested several times. Sure, the beast wasn't a nice guy at the start but the story is about his redemption. Gaston did think the beast was evil but Belle did try to explain and he never listened and locked her up in a wagon. He also tried to get Belle's father falsely convicted into the asylum. It's said that the enchantress was the true villain for cursing a young boy into a beast alongside all the castle staff in the first place for being a brat.

She manages to escape and then clearly shows she is suffering from Stockholm Syndrome. Gaston knows that both Belle and her father have been imprisoned by this monstrous roaring beast that Belle shows him via the mirror and makes the rather logical decision to go kill that mutant who has been imprisoning villagers. How is that villainous behavior? It isn't. You want a villain? How about the enchantress at the very beginning of the film who curses an eleven-year-old boy and everyone else in the castle because he won't let a stranger come into his home?

    In the beast’s defense, I believe a book mentions that I would be his 19th birthday when the last petal fell. Lumiere says that they have been cursed for 10 years in the song “Be Our Guest”. That means the enchantress showed up at the castle in the middle of a dark stormy night in the disguise of a haggard old woman, asked a 9 year old boy (why was he answering the door? Where were his parents? Where were the servants?) if she could spend the night, and cursed him when he followed the rules of stranger danger. The enchantress is the true villain of Beauty and the Beast, but for some reason she always gets a free pass and it’s sickening to me.

    I can’t tell if Matt is joking about Gaston or if he is serious 😂. Like the dude tried to force Belle into a relationship with him by threatening that if she didn’t he would have her father thrown into an insane asylum. He’s clearly a narcissist. Never would have actually treated Belle as a partner. The dude is basically the Andrew Tate of Disney villains. Also to top it all of if you watch the film Gaston at multiple points shows extreme lack of gun safety. Pointing his gun at others and at a certain point even has his own barrel pointing at his head as he RESTS on it. As a deer hunter this lack of safety and carelessness cannot stand!

    Gaston was literally the only person in the whole town who didn’t think Belle was a “funny girl” or a weirdo. He was the one person who tried to be her friend and marry her to give her a peaceful and traditional life, but instead she develops Stockholm syndrome for a rich man-child who doesn’t know manners or social skills. Plus his reasoning was entirely sound for gathering the men to attack the castle. He was shown actual witchcraft seeing a monster in a magic mirror, and Belle was acting irrational now that he knew her supposedly insane father was actually telling the truth and that she had indeed been locked in a dungeon by a monster. The only rational conclusion would be that Belle really had been bewitched and the Beast was a danger to the community.

      Not ANY better than the beast locking up her father and saying he can only leave if you stay with me, in reality there were two Gastons, the real Gaston and the beast, but she gives beast a chance but not Gaston. I think Belle was just into some kinky stuff. Or maybe Gaston didn't go far enough and should have locked up her father sooner and gave a similar demand. Either way I would sort of argue the women in the story are the true villains, both Belle and the Enchantress, Belle for getting Gaston killed and the enchantress for condemning beast (a child at the time) for turning her away, maybe the true moral of the story is women can't be trusted and they ruin men's lives 🤔

She very clearly explains that the Beast is kind, but he can't take the blow of her rejection and instead tries to play the role of hero that will save the town from the Beast. He doesn't go to rescue her at any point- when her father begs him to help he ignores his pleas and throws him out into the cold. There's nothing in him that could be misconstrued, he's a villain through and through.

      Not in the original he wasn't. And why should Gaston believe Belle?
      She could be saying the Beast was kind, under duress.
      Gaston was a far better man that the Beast ever was.
      Belle was a stuck up pretentious gold digging snob, who only became interested in the Beast once she saw he owned a LIBRARY.
      She taught the Beast to read, something she never offered to Gaston, even though he did show interest in the book she was reading.
      Gaston put Belle's father in an asylum because he truly thought Belle was in the clutches of a monster, where the Beasty actually kept Belle's father in a dungeon,
      and left him to die, for no reason whatsoever!
      Then he traded Belle for her father and threw her in the dungeon to die...wow...what a guy!!
      I don't know why so many women don't see that Gaston is a far better man than the Beast, who never did anything kind for anyone, even Belle.
      The Beast only started treating her better, when he was told she might be the one to break the spell.
      So he didn't change because he was good, he was just using Belle to be freed of a spell!

    Two out of five is a 40% grade.
    You nailed it with Bambi and Pocohontas. The other three, not so much.
    1. Scar:
    The sheer hypocrisy of praising the hunters who killed Bambi's mom, while villifying Mufasa for doing the same thing is unconscionable. Further, once Scar and the hyenas were in power, they over hunted the land, causing a localized extinction. The abundance of healthy game animals under Mufasa's rule means that he was managing the local wildlife populations VERY effectively. The antelope obviously had enough food to be healthy, which means he was preventing overpopulation; and the opening sequence alone shows that the herbivore populations were not threatened with extinction under Mufasa's rule.
    2. The witch queen of Snow White:
    While Snow White's naivity is substantial, I don't see naivity as evil in and of itself. Aladdin's Princess Jasmine shows the same naivety in the market when she's trying to run away from the Sultan's palace. Characterizing the dwarve's response to Snow White as "Stockholm Syndrome" is also making a diagnosis that I doubt you have the needed professional license to make. The witch-queen's willingness to use poison for no better reason that assuaging her vanity makes her a despciable villain despite you lame attempt to characterize her as favoring "personal property rights."
    3. Gaston
    While I'm about the farthest from being a feminist that one could possibly imagine without being a chauvinist, Gaston's womanizing and attempts to coerce Belle into an unwanted marriage (attempted r@pe???) clearly put him the despicable villain category. The Beast, while possessing human flaws, is not the villain you make him out to be either. For one thing, he didn't try to rape Belle, even when he could have, nor did he try to coerce her into a marriage that she didn't want. As for the bestiality thing, I think you should let he who is without sin cast the first stone. You're reaching with that one.

    Gaston was a narcissist and he refused to respect Belle. He bribed the head of the insane asylum to put Belle's father away as a way to force her to marry him. He set up a wedding before proposing. The beast could only be cured by learning how to love, and Belle helped him learn to be a better person. His personality before learning how to be a good personality was similar to Gaston. Gaston only went after the beast because he realized saw him as a rival. He only talked about protecting the town to get people scared so he could manipulate them. Gaston looks good on the outside, but he is a wolf in sheep's clothing. The most dangerous enemy wears the mask of a hero.
