The Bad Are Not
Always Beautiful
by Alex Andy Phuong
The Bad and the
Beautiful remains a landmark in
cinematic history. Do not judge this movie
just by its title, though, because "the bad"
and "the beautiful" do not always go
hand-in-hand. For example, Disney villains
during the early stages of Walt Disney's career
looked obviously atrocious because of dark
clothing and maniacal laughter. Then in the
twenty-first century, villains from the past have
been re-imagined as anti-heroes, such as Elphaba
from the Broadway musical Wicked.
Sometimes the bad really could look beautiful,
though, which is why appearances could be very
deceiving. Many people hate Edward Cullen,
though, and some would argue that Robert
Pattinson and Taylor Lautner are overrated while
Bella Swan is one of the worst heroines ever
conceived. Remember, do not always judge
books by the covers because a cover is not always
the book!
Or you will pay the price!
