** To make matters worse, the despairing Beast is what the villagers are shown when Belle uses the mirror to prove he's real (as the mirror shows exactly what's happening at the moment its magic is invoked). All they see is a ranting monster, and despite her best efforts, Gaston plays on their fear to convince them to kill him.

* Also, [[spoiler:the pullback through the stained glass window at the very end]]. There's a reason this was nominated for Best Picture!

* When the Beast lets Belle go to find her father, it's painfully clear he doesn't expect her to come back, doesn't think she would ever want to come back. So, just his expression later, even though he's dying, when he says, "You came back..." *bawl*
