Why Do Audiences Love 'Beauty and the Beast'? Because it's Sincere

BelleOn Fairy-Stories Despite netting over $170 million at the opening weekend box office, Disney’s new live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast, starring Emma Watson and Dan Stevens, received somewhat mixed reviews. Many elite publications’ reviewers thumbed their noses at the film—what do these critics fail to see that audiences do? “There’s nothing particularly...

“Beauty and the Beast”

It’s weird, they seemed to have cast their version of Gaston based on Robbie Rotten (pictured above), and a La Fou based on Jack Black. But couldn’t afford the original actors. All things considered, those 2 personas were fitting choices for the live action adaptation. And speaking of La Fou, all the hype about him being gay made my expectations of this film very low, but it really wasn’t...

What Pop Culture Can Teach Us about The Benedict Option

Movies Some time ago, the blogger Rod Dreher released a book called The Benedict Option which quickly enthralled Christian readers. For those of you still wondering what The Benedict Option is actually about, the term was first coined by a philosopher named Alasdair MacIntyre. MacIntyre predicted there would come a day when Christians could no longer participate in mainstream society, and should...

Beauty and the Beast and Our Obsession with Remakes

Movies In a segment on NPR last Wednesday, Bob Mondello documented the bizarre entertainment phenomenon known as “movie twins.” Hollywood has long puzzled the public by releasing films with nearly identical premises and plots within months or even weeks of one another. “Mission to Mars” and “Red Planet,” “Armageddon” and “Deep Impact,”...

Can Nostalgia Be Used for God's Glory?

Movies One thing has certainly become clear with the release of Beauty & the Beast, sooner or later, every Disney classic will be remade. For most fans this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Who wouldn’t love to see their favorite Disney character step off the screen into a live-action adventure? Still, others have accused Disney of using nostalgia as their latest cash cow. Why make...

Why Christians Can Calm Down about Beauty and the Beast

Movies On March 1st my newsfeed exploded with angry moms. Our beloved Beauty and the Beast is GAY. Well, not exactly. And perhaps that’s where we should start. Is this a “Gay” movie? Or is this just another worldly movie made by worldly people with worldly agendas? Believe me, I'm upset, too. But there is an important difference here worthy of a second look. Al Mohler,...

Hello Dolly!Movies The other day I stumbled across a forgotten treasure, the 1969 musical Hello, Dolly! starring Barbra Streisand. If you’ve never seen this movie you’re really missing out. Hello, Dolly! is a wonderful story about an eccentric matchmaker who brings new life and energy to everyone she meets. It’s a film which offers sage advice on life, love, happiness, and, if...

‘Beauty And The Beast’ Is A Lovely Remake Of The Original

When I was a toddler, I was addicted to “Beauty and the Beast.” I would run across the living room, arms flung behind me, and stand in front of the television as Belle sang, “I want adventure in the great wide somewhere, I want it more than I can tell…” I’ve watched it more times than I can remember. I’ve got the whole soundtrack memorized.
So on Thursday...
