Fun Fact: The Beast was an allegory for Aids.

So why'd he get better?

Because it's a Disney movie. I never said it was a good allegory. But the isolation and people treating him like he's a monster seem about right.

Or maybe that allegory can be that AIDs is not nearly as dangerous (contagious) as people [used to] think.

Though I do have to say these days the whole freak-out over AIDs is pretty-much over. People now know how to avoid it, and there is plenty of treatment to slow it down, even if it can't be cured.

People are aware that Disney didn't invent the tale? That literally everything about cursed-beast-man-is-cured comes from a story written a hundred years ago?

Though Disney is also well-known for using old tales to convey more than just the original moral they might have had.

I would say The Little Mermaid has lost most - if not all - of the self-sacrificing moral tale the original story had in favour of having the romance (and the whole story) have a happy end.

The same can be said for Frozen, since the story it was very loosely based on was about a pair of pre-teen friends, and the girl going on an epic journey to rescue the boy with the eponymous Snow Queen kidnapped him.

If someone in Disney wanted to think of Beauty and the Beast as an allegory for AIDs, that's up to them. I do however agree that it wasn't the best allegory for an incurable disease.

"Fact"?

Also, how does that work when his storyline was "must learn to be a decent person who is worthy of love so I can get rid of this curse that I got for being an insufferable brat"?

nayrt. LOL, I think this fun fact was actually 'I didn't think that allegory through...'

(Anonymous) 2014-07-01 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
It wasn't something I made up. It was something one of the makers of the movie commented on.
