Talk:Beauty and the Beast (2017 film)/@comment-1672596-20140807173331/@comment-1672596-20141020234050

I think you misinterpreted what I was saying. I never said that it actually took place during the French Revolution. Actually, considering Beast is still a prince (principality prince, certainly), it had to take place before it (hence my estimate of 1770-1789). What I was saying however, that there were a lot of implications that Belle might become a Jacobin by the time of the French Revolution, possibly unintentional implications, but implications nonetheless.

Now, if Glen Keane and the other producers had the film occurring at, I don't know, 17th Century France, then I wouldn't have to worry as much regarding Belle potentially becoming a Jacobin or even being given the Marie Antoinette treatment, since at least by the time of the Revolution, she and Adam would be long dead anyways. Certainly my distrust of Belle wouldn't be as severe, since after all, it's before the Enlightenment and I won't have to worry too much about the implications of her actions and what she would potentially try to do against Christianity.
