We have seen many adaptations here at Spoiler Filled. Mostly of books, sometimes of plays, even a few videogames here and there but, this may be the first time we’ve watched a film adaptation of an 18th century painting. Well sort of anyways. Belle, from 2013, is a period drama based on the life of an illegitimate black child of a British naval officer being brought up in upper-class, predominantly white British society and some of the difficulties she would have experienced.
