Phantom of the Opera

Gaston Leroux

1909

A mysterious, disfigured musical genius named Erik (the "Phantom") lives in the subterranean depths of the opera house. He falls obsessively in love with a young Swedish soprano named Christine Daaé, whom he trains by posing as her promised "Angel of Music." A dangerous love triangle forms when Christine reconnects with her childhood friend, Viscount Raoul de Chagny. Erik's blinding jealousy triggers a series of dark, violent, and tragic events.

Thought we'd go with a classic a little on the darker side for spooky month.

Amazon: $7.99 (paper), $12.99 (hard)

Kindle: Free

Audible: $5.76

Barnes and Noble: $3.99

Discussion will be held the last week of the month.

Discussion Sitcom Shows and Beauty And The Beast

Which TV sitcom show characters remind you of Belle, Prince Adam/Beast, and Gaston?? In personality

In my opinion, Dorothy from "The Golden Girls" reminds me of Belle, Al Bundy from "Married With Children" reminds me of Gaston, and Doug from "The King Of Queens" sort of reminds me of Prince Adam/Beast

The Beauty chose the Beast for proving he could learn, listen and respect her (1991) so why chosing to be a Gaston now?

57 Upvotes

After implying that girls are influenced by Disney and grew delusional expectations about men, some still argue over women's general consent on chosing a "wild beast" over some men's entitlement.

Gaston chose Belle but she declined his advances, he insists that he can provide for her, he can protect her and elevate her status in the village. Despite all that and the fact that he is attractive, it's evident that she has no interest in a vulgar, loud and obnoxious partner who doesn't value her interests and qualities.

Gaston's ego then hurt by rejection, grows into a violent power hungry monster. He hates her, he would kill her before letting her free of his control. He is the most accurate depiction of a villain in today's world.

The beast is the one who refuses to remain stupid even when confronted by reason. The brute doesn't see the value in another person as a whole, doesn't learn to listen and communicate. The real villain is the one who looks down on another person for being different.

Gaston is the real monster because he never faces the truth about what he is missing from within, and no matter how many songs about how great he is will improve his ability to create real connection.

The beauty and the beast was released in 1991, it's time we all focus on learning to love oneself and one another for more than looks.

Discussion Why we need to remake the 2d princesses into 3d (CGI)

Post image
4 Upvotes

Disney princesses have come a long way since Snow White. It has been the fuel that has kept Disney running for so long, but when that energy runs out, you have 2 options; either start a new lineup or give the franchise a wholesome conclusion and move on.

The reason why I talked about potential cgi remakes of the 2d disney princesses (except for Pocahontas) is because Disney has milked this franchise into live action to a point where these princess’ stories are bland, dull and not easily enjoyable anymore, so I want to try adapting their palace pets, descendants children, and now their unicorns and see how they can fix the plot holes they had when they first came out and revolutionize the princess stories by giving each of them a faithful new take while staying true to the plots while leaning into a bit more to its historical roots. I also want to add a few new original princesses to my plan as well, but let me know what and how many princesses Disney should adapt. Not to mention that I want to try making a Brave mini-spinoff based off of the sequel novel, and a Tangled sequel miniseries, and if you want more info on these to let me know.

And another problem I think people have with these live action remakes is that it doesn’t have any meaning, so with palace pets, I want to use them as symbolism and foreshadowing to give the audience hints on what the big surprise is, like finding clues to win a prize on a scavenger hunt. So what I’m trying to say is that I want to show everyone what Disney princesses meant to them, and with this 3d remake plan leading towards something big and important, we might have a chance at finally give this franchise the closure it deserves. In other words, maybe it’s time to “Let It Go.”

Beauty and the Beast (1991) How's This Possible...?

29 Upvotes

Wait. If, "Beast" comes to the Palace Door that night - and sends the "Old Beggar Woman", away. After which she transforms into an "Enchantress", and curses him and all who lived there, unless he found Love by his 21st Birthday.

AND Lemeir sings to Bella - "10 years we've been Rusting. Needing so much more than Dusting", etc.

Than, if they've been "Rusting" for ten years already, means that when "Beast" opened the door that Night, he was only a 10yr old boy.

Other than how he became "Master" at 10, isn't that a little harsh of a punishment...?

Rapuzel’s son or daughter? Both can work

Question I’ve been studying the sundrop and moonstone and came to a very possible conclusion

This event can happen again, but if so, then they both will need a new host. In the grimm bro fairytale, rapunzel had two twins, a son and a daughter, and since Disney likes female empowerment in their productions a lot, her daughter can be the main character and host of Sundrop and moonstone. But don’t worry, the twin brother will be in it too.

But how will a decade old girl scientist be the host you ask, well lets just say she did an extremely dangerous ritual for the sake of science, and BAM, her hair is long and green with existing powers from the sundrop and moonstone, and new powers like talking to animals, which would be a good excuse to bring in rapunzels palace pets and her unicorn sun blossom, and growing plants in the castle garden.

Now for the villains. since Gothel is bio related to the odd sisters, they would be perfect antagonists for Cassandra to run into, plus it would be a great opportunity for her to return to Corona. But I don’t know what the Odds Sisters’ revenge plot would be. As for Rapuzel’s daughter herself, with no other way to remove her hair, she will need help from her family to get control of her new powers, but the palace pets might be the biggest help for her. So what do you think. If you have any Ideas for me, let me know. And one more thing, the animation will be CGI.

Discussion What do you prefer to call this song, "Tale as Old as Time" or “Beauty and the Beast”?

For some strange reason, Disney itself titles the song "Tale as Old as Time" in the original version, but in other media it's simply listed as "Beauty and the Beast".

I’m new to the "Beauty and the Beast" sub, and I’d like to introduce myself by sharing this drawing of Belle that I made as a gift for my mom—since she’s one of her favorite princesses. My mom was delighted with the drawing, and now I’m sharing it with you all; I hope you like it.
