brief summary of the plot
1. “Beauty and the Beast” was directed by Jean Cocteau. It is based on the fairy tale by Madame Le Prince de Beaumont and it stars Jean Marais as the Beast and Josette Day as Beauty.
2. Beauty is one of three daughters of a French merchant. His sisters, Felicie and Adelaide, are mean and treat Beauty as a servant. (1) __ Beauty’s father gets lost in the forest, but finds a strange castle, (2) __ he enters, looking for help. The owner of the castle is a repulsive monster, half-man, half-beast, (3) __ threatens the merchant – either one of his daughters replaces him as a prisoner in the castle or he will die. Beauty offers to replace her father and goes to live in the castle. (4) __ , she discovers the Beast is not as hideous and inhuman as he seems, but a handsome prince.
3. The film deals with the theme of appearances in very interesting and clever ways. In one memorable scene, Beauty looks in the mirror and her face is transformed into the Beast’s. For its time (1946), the film uses some clever special effects, (5) __ when Beauty is striding up and down waiting for the Beast to visit her room – behind her, a statue’s head follows her movements (6) __, the whispering furniture is as frightening as anything in modern films. The film does, (7) __, have its weak points. The Beast’s voice is rather squeaky, and the lovers flying at the end is a bit corny! (8) __, though, it must be one of the most beautiful films ever made. (9) __ it is black and white, the striking use of light makes it seem at times like a moving painting. The music is also magnificent.
4. Beauty and the Beast is a fairy tale with an obvious message – you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. (10) __, it has neither the cute characters nor the Hollywood songs of the Disney version; it speaks to people of all ages. I recommend it for all the family.
B. Complete the gaps in the text with these words:

The best film that I have seen recently is (1) __ the blockbuster Gladiator (2) __ the war film Pearl Harbor, which I didn’t enjoy. It is Chocolat, directed by Lasse Halstrom. It is set in a small French town in the middle of the 20th century. (3) __, a young woman (Juliette Binoche) and her daughter arrive in the town. (4) __ that, they rent a shop from an old lady (Judi Dench) and sell delicious things made of chocolate. (5) __, it is during Lent, a time when people are not meant to enjoy eating things and the mayor of the town (Alfred Molina) starts a campaign against the shop. However, (6) __ all the difficulties, Juliette Binoche’s character survives with the help of the old lady and a traveling Irishman (Johnny Depp). (7) __, the shop is successful and even the mayor comes to enjoy the chocolate. (8) __ it is possibly too ‘politically correct’, the film successfully deals with the themes of intolerance and prejudice. The acting is excellent, (9) __ that of Juliette Binoche. (10) __ Judi Dench and Alfred Molina are also excellent. There are some dramatic moments, (11) __ as the fire on the Irishman’s boat. (12) __, I would really recommend you to go and see this film.
