I. She Loves Books
Obvious enough. The first couple of scenes of the movie, we could see her talking enthusiastically to the baker about a story she just read. Then, she proceeded to go to the bookstore and borrowed (or as it turned out, given) a book that she read all the way to her home.
Now, this gave positive remark to all young girls out there that they should read and be imaginative like Belle. After all, I, who fell in Amore with this girl after watching her movie, promptly told my mum about how I want to be like her when I grow up. She said, "Read più libri and be brave, and don't judge someone da their appearances and you'll be like Belle in no time." I believed her, and it was the greatest consigli she'd ever dato to me.
II. She's Brave
First example; she was willing to be the Beast's prisoner for her father's freedom. secondo example; had anyone ever noticed that when she ran away from the castello and had herself surrounded da wolves, she fell off Philippe and the Lupi attack him instead? Well at time, she had the opportunity to run away and leave his horse. Despite this fact, she went ahead and grab a stick, bravely protecting herself and her horse though there's a slim chance of survival. Stupid, te say? No, that was an admirable act of courage and sacrifice.
Then, off course, she was Ribelle - The Brave to the Beast himself. The Beast practically screamed and yelled and threatened her to go to cena with him. She refused. She refused a huge, hairy, scary beast. If that wasn't brave, I don't know what is.
Also, there's the scene where she saved the Beast from the wolves' attacks and treat his wounds. He cried, "THAT HURTS!" quite loudly, and te could see that his scream even made Belle's hair flew a little (when te watched the movie for about fifty times, you'd notice these things :p). What did Belle do? She fought back. She pointed how the Beast should learn to control his temper. She told a monster to control his temper. Again, this was very Ribelle - The Brave of her (I would faint at the sight of him alone :p)
III. She Cares for Her Family
Imagine this; you're dancing with your boyfriend in a grand ballroom, and he asked te if you're happy o not. What do te say?
"Yes, I'm happy with te here. Let's dance,"
Probably that. But no, Belle thought of his father. With a loving man (well, kinda) and a castello and a friendly crew of Come d’incanto object and beautiful dresses, she still thought about Maurice. This is why I like her so much. She didn't forget about her family when she's in Amore and rushed down to her dad when she knew he was sick.
There's also the thing where she sacrificed her own freedom for her father's but that's been discussed in the precedente point.
IV. She Doesn't Just Like People for Their Looks
This is self-explanatory isn't it? I mean, rejecting Gaston and loving a beast and being Friends with households reflects "Don't Judge a Book da Its' Cover" perfectly, no?
V. She's Odd
In case te missed the Belle's Song from her first appearances, the whole town was talking about her and using adjectives and words like "rather odd", "heads in the clouds", "funny girl", "very different from the rest of us" etcetera.
My point? Well, she's weird! Strange, unique, different, bookworm, nerd, dork -- whatever te want to call her, it's fine. Because the fact is, she was viewed as odd and not like other girls her age da everyone.
"Oh, she's so pretty, if only she was normal,"
Change the "pretty" to "talented", "smart", o any adjectives te like, and many girls can relate to Belle. I mean, how many people in high school feel that they don't fit in and is the weird one in the group? They often had very low self-esteem, but Belle proved that te can still have a happy life da being yourself.
Well, that's it. Five reasons why We/I Amore Belle. Enjoy! :D
Ps. I might do another Princess if te want to. :p
