Beauty and the Beast (2017) Full Movie
Somewhere in Rococo-era France,
an enchantress disguised as a beggar arrives at a debutante ball and
offers an enchanted rose to a prince in exchange for shelter from a
storm, but he refuses. For his arrogance, the enchantress transforms him
into a beast to match his inhumane character and the servants into
inanimate objects, and erases the castle from the villagers' memories.
She gives the Beast a magic mirror that shows faraway events. To break
the spell, the prince must learn to love another and earn her love in
return before the rose's last petal falls.
Years later during the 1780s, in the village of Villeneuve, a young
woman, Belle, lives with her father Maurice, an artist and tinkerer.
Gaston, a celebrated former soldier, seeks her hand in marriage, but she
is repulsed by his arrogance and narcissism. On a trip to the market to
sell music boxes, Maurice and his horse Philippe lose their way in the
forest and are attacked by wolves. They seek refuge at the castle, only
for Maurice to be imprisoned by the Beast as penance for taking a rose
from the garden. When she realizes her father is missing, Belle ventures
into the forest in search for him, and finds him in the castle. The
Beast confronts her and accepts her offer to take her father's place.
Belle meets and befriends the servants in the castle. She eventually
wanders into the forbidden west wing and finds the rose. The Beast,
enraged, frightens Belle into fleeing into the woods. He rescues her
from a pack of wolves but is injured during the fight. Belle assists him
to the castle and nurses him back to health. A friendship develops, and
the servants tell her she may be the one who can break the curse. The
Beast develops feelings for Belle and allows her access to his library.
However, Belle remains uncertain of her feelings due to her
imprisonment. The Beast shows Belle a gift the enchantress gave him, a
book that could take people wherever they wanted. Belle takes both to a
small house in Paris,
where she used to live with her parents as an infant. They see it is
abandoned and old, and the Beast discovers that Belle's mother died of a plague after finding a plague doctor mask.
Meanwhile, Maurice returns to Villeneuve but is unable to convince
the others to rescue Belle. Gaston agrees to help Maurice rescue Belle,
but when he reveals his true intention to marry Belle, Maurice refuses.
In response, Gaston leaves him in the forest to die. Maurice is rescued
by a hermit, Agathe, and openly accuses Gaston of his crime, but Gaston convinces the townsfolk to send Maurice to the local asylum.
After sharing a romantic dance with the Beast, Belle discovers her
father's predicament using the magic mirror. The Beast allows her to
leave to save Maurice, giving her the mirror to look back on him with.
At Villeneuve, Belle proves Maurice's sanity by revealing the Beast in
the mirror. Realizing that Belle loves the Beast, Gaston has her thrown
into the asylum with her father and rallies the villagers to follow him
to the castle to slay the Beast. Maurice and Belle escape from
confinement and Belle follows.
During the ensuing fight, Gaston abandons his companion LeFou, who
sides with the servants to fend off the villagers. Gaston attacks the
Beast in his tower, who is initially too depressed to fight back, but
regains his will upon seeing Belle return. He corners Gaston but spares
his life before reuniting with Belle. However, Gaston fatally shoots the
Beast in the back before falling off the tower to his death. The Beast
dies as the last rose petal falls and Belle professes her love to him.
Agathe reveals herself as the enchantress and undoes the curse,
restoring the Beast's life and human form. The servants' forms and the
villagers' memories are also restored, with few of the villagers
recognizing some of the servants as their loved ones. The prince and
Belle host a ball for the kingdom, where they dance happily.
