[the Beast Catches The Merchant Taking a Rose]
The Beast: My gifts were not enough for you? Do you also have to steal what I treasure most?
The Merchant: I won't be treated as a thief or a coward. I am a just and honorable man!
The Beast: Who did you pick this rose for?
The Merchant: My youngest daughter. She is worth more than anything in the world, to me.
The Beast: Then I will give you one day to say goodbye to your loved ones. You only need to whisper the words: "More than anything in the world," to your horse, and he will bring you here.

User Reviews

Enjoyed to the core

The castle, the flowers, the garden, the forest, the places, the settings and the great Vincent Cassel acting. I loved them all, and finally the Closing credits was the biggest highlight which I watched over and over again and never get tired.

Story we heard them in childhood, first I thought why French production team is repeating the same story which we have heard 100 times in our childhood time.

I didn't plan to watch this movie.

But somehow I ended up watch a trailer of this movie, in few seconds I was hooked into the movie.

I always knew and heard, French people are perfectionist, what ever take, like Painting,Music,Cuisine even their kiss is famous all over the world.

Director Christophe Gans is no exception in this matter.

This movie will relax you from the fast forward life for 112 min. :- )
