A Beauti-ful(l) love story

Studying for my fashion exams, I’m trying to find some time for this blog!

It’s wednesday today, so there should be a particular post about movies. Well, this time the movie is The Beauty and the Beast. Yes, it’s only a cartoon, but I think it’s the best cartoon ever, and it was made in 1991, like me! However, I would like to tell you about the musical that’s permorming in Italy (Rome this year!), that I’ve seen last Sunday at Brancaccio’s Theatre. Gourgeous. It’s a breathtaking performance, and you would like to cry for all the two hours. Indeed I think it’s the most romantic drama ever, and actors did their best to let us dream, and also think, in this beauti-ful(l) rapresentation, rich in sweetness, special effects, but also values.

Maybe almost everybody know the history of Belle and her adventures in the magic castle of the Beast, but not everyone knows that this fairy tale, written many times in diffents countries, has its birth with the Apuleio’s Amore e Psiche (do you know, Canova’s best work…), a love story about metamorphosis, magic and beauty.

So, during the musical made of Alan Menken’ Oscar’s soundrack, you can dream with Belle, her pure love agains the Beast’s beastly love, that first is material (maybe sexual instinct), but then It will be tranformed in true love, and that’s the love that make Belle think that there’s something else over the awful face of the Beast. She taught him to love, he gave her his heart, his castle, his beauty and his love, too!

Oooh, love is in the air…
