THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF RETELLINGS: “BEAUTY AND THE BEAST” ACROSS THE FEMINIST WAVES Trabajo de Fin de Máster realizado por Virginia Domínguez Arquillué. Supervisado por la tutora Cristina Garrigós González. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First of all, I would like to thank my supervisor, Cristina Garrigós González, for her kind words and her wonderful comments and recommendations on this dissertation. Her guidance has been incredibly helpful not only for this work, but during my two years in this Master. I would also like to thank Maite Escudero and Mónica Calvo, whose words, even in the distance, make me continue on the Academic path with hope and happiness. I owe to them my interest in Literature and the desire to achieve a career in this field, because they continue to inspire me with their passion and feminist ideas. Further, I would like to express my gratitude to the friends that have been there to support me during these difficult months. Nadia, my partner in crime, whose daily conversations have kept me afloat. The Common Room gals, for their recommendations on books to analyse, and for the immense reading list they have created for my summer with all other types of books. The Loafing Lounge, for keeping me smiling all days, even the hard ones; thank you Lucy for considering me for being part of this group. And finally, I am thankful for the two most important people in my life: my mother, who has contributed to this thesis not only sending me the books I needed, but with her words of love and encouragement; and lastly, my love, Enar, thank you for your jokes, your meals, your cuddles, and everything else that cannot be described with words.

  • Movie Review: ‘Beauty and the Beast’
    Movie Review: ‘Beauty and the Beast’ By Joseph McAleer Catholic News Service NEW YORK – Disney’s live-action adaptation of its beloved 1991 animated film “Beauty and the Beast” arrives in theaters amid a swirl of controversy over the updating of one of its characters into an openly gay man. The decision of the studio, director Bill Condon (“Dreamgirls”), and screenwriters Stephen Chbosky and Evan Spiliotopoulos to reimagine LeFou (Josh Gad), sidekick of the villainous Gaston (Luke Evans), as Disney’s so-called “first gay character” is a regrettable one. A cherished family film has, in essence, been appropriated for an underlying agenda that is firmly at odds with Christian values. Parents will have a hard time explaining to their kids – as most know the cartoon by heart – why LeFou has jumped on the homosexual bandwagon. His amorous advances to Gaston, proud display of a bite mark from Gaston on his stomach (due to “wrestling”), and ultimate dance in the arms of another man will raise eyebrows, to say the least. Admittedly, many grown moviegoers will take LeFou’s transformation in stride. “Beauty and the Beast,” however, is a must-see film intended for children. Given the clear intent to make a statement with the character in question, the restrictive classification assigned below is a caution for viewers of faith, especially parents. The pall cast over “Beauty and the Beast” is unfortunate, as the film is largely an imaginative and engaging work with an arresting visual style. An old-fashioned Hollywood musical at heart, it brims with familiar songs by Alan Menken and whirling dance sequences worthy of Busby Berkeley.

Il solitario Clancy, che ha smesso di praticare e si è appartato dal mondo dopo la morte di sua figlia e la successiva fine del suo matrimonio, non vuole avere niente a che fare con il caso, ne usare le sue capacità. Ma, quando ha delle visioni molte violente della giovane collega di Joe, l'agente speciale dell'FBI Katherine Cowles (Abbie Cornish), cambia idea, pensando che queste possano essere anche una sorta di messaggio personale.

I look forward to sharing these movies with you. I thought I might share some thoughts of famous Hollywood celebrities. “I don't want to achieve immortality through my work; I want to achieve immortality through not dying. I don't want to live on in the hearts of my countrymen; I want to live on in my apartment.” Woody Allen, The Illustrated Woody Allen Reader The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing.

Christina Aguilera If you are leaping a ravine, the moment of takeoff is a bad time to be considering alternative strategies. John Cleese Some weird facts. Around the World in 80 Days, Armageddon and Apollo 13 are some of the movies NASA keeps aboard the International Space Station. The Power of Love was the very first 3D movie to be released in 1922. The first colour movie was made back in 1901. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King won all 11 Academy Awards it was nominated for. Peter Ostrum, Charlie from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, never acted in another movie after that and is now a veterinarian.
