You don't really need too on this one. As far as I can tell, a lot of people on both sides aren't happy with her comments or what has come out about this film.
I understand. I detest mob mentality. Some of my favorite actors are those who’ve expressed very hateful things about my religion, general views, and even my ethnicity. That’s fine. I’m able to separate that and appreciate their work on its own merits.
I don’t think people outside of this site realize just how/what the reaction to the commentary of the lead actress has been received.
Yeah comments are definitely ugly. Not good for Disney
They know what they are getting when they hire the actor or actress.
Let’s just say that the people who were going to be triggered by the adjustments to the Snow White story will be much more upset as a result of the comments.
I’m on the side of “I’ll watch it first before judging it”, so I definitely fall outside whatever framework you’re referring to.
Why do you say that? The reaction within this site has been pretty extreme as it is.
What a unique stance!
Yes, I’m a pretty rare bird in these parts!
I just went and looked. It’s not just the usual right wing echo chamber type sites. Mainstream publications have picked up on it too. And, not in just a “conservatives pounce” way - many of them have been pretty measured to show how seemingly apolitical “Disney” fans (not just the guys-wearing-wraparound-shades-in-their-cars bridgade) have reacted poorly to her comments.
Indeed it is not. This is all over media, not just Twitter.
People will reach for any validation of their beliefs. I’ve been following these movie threads for some time now. With the exception of maybe one poster, they want Disney to fail (or they glory in its underperformance) because they don’t like its progressive policies and want to show that everyone else thinks like them.
It’s all petty and childish. And you’re right, it seems that some people believe that certain things somehow prove that most people not only share the same beliefs, but also care as much as they do, which likely couldn’t be further from the truth. It feels like that because we post on a message board where everyone has the same interests in the same topic. However, this is a bubble…a very small bubble, at that. It’s not like we’re discussing topics that generally a good amount of people are concerned about, like affordable groceries and being able to pay rent. We’re going back and forth about comments made about Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, a nearly 90-year-old movie, that people got mad about and offended by. LOL. It’s actually funny when you write it out.
I think that's a tad unfair. A bunch of us are hard on Disney not because we want to see it burn. We're critical because we want them to do better. I personally would much rather be talking about the next big ride, or expansion. Or how great or well their films are doing. I personally can't make excuses for them and their treatment of the parks and the quality of a lot of the films over the last few years. But just because of that, it doesn't mean I am wanting them to fail. Well maybe the live action remakes anyway
. I want them to be great, that's what brought me to places like these forums in the first place.
It’s hard for me to take the criticism of Disney’s films seriously when so many who criticize them simply refuse to see them because Disney is trying to make them more current.I think that's a tad unfair.
