Live-Action ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’

[LittleBuford]

As far as I can tell, she apologized for making her comments public, and not that she was wrong for the way she feels. I’m sure she didn’t flip on a dime about how she feels regarding those that don’t think like her.

"Hi everyone, I would like to sincerely apologize for the election post I shared on Instagram last week. I let me emotions get the best of me. Hatred and anger have caused us to move further and further away from peace and understanding, and I am sorry I contributed to the negative discourse. This week has been emotion for so many of us, but I firmly believe that everyone has the right to their opinion, even when it differs from my own. I am committed to contributing positively towards a better tomorrow."

I'm not sure we can police people's feelings. She acknowledged she was wrong, which I thought is what her critics wanted her to do. My sense is that no apology would have been acceptable to those intent on disliking her.

Also remember that her education is lacking sufficient depth to place the original fable Sneewittchen into an appropriate historical context , specifically the 1550's where the average lifespan was only 30 years due to high infant mortality and the ever popular plagues. There was little social mobility outside of hypergamy. It was the bad old days after the fall of the Roman Empire.

It's a myth that people died significantly younger in the past. The average was brought down by the very high rates of infant mortality, but once you made it past childhood, you had a good chance of living to a ripe old rage.

Did Ancient People Die Young?

Many of us believe our ancestors lived much shorter lives than we do. Cutting-edge archaeology shows otherwise.

And, I’ve got some oceanfront property in Arizona for sale.
But, yes, from what I know of her at this point, I do not like her.

Good catch on taking out the hating her part…

I dislike hyperbole and intemperate language and corrected my phrasing accordingly. We all make mistakes; the best any of us can do is try to address them. I’m not sure what you think you’re achieving by sharing that screenshot, especially when you yourself have deleted multiple of your own posts in the past few days.

Ok.

Side note, there is the other video where she calls the prince a stalker and another promo where she said she could only watch the original once. Again, a trend. So yeah, it made some people upset.

With all due respect to OG Snow White, the prince didn’t have enough screen time to qualify as a stalker. There is no way you can make a present-day movie without giving him something to say and do.

Didn’t she say she watched it when she was young and was afraid? It’s not as though she said the OG film was exceedingly slow-paced and not all that interesting except for the music.

Exactly.
That’s why I deleted most of my posts over the last few days. We all make mistakes.
I don’t think I’m mistaken about how I feel, but it doesn’t need to be (and, theoretically, isn’t allowed here…although the last many days has been confusing in regard to such) expressed here.
I was just trying to make a point to you.
I’ll edit accordingly.

You hater!

Seriously, though, you need to rewatch it with a more appreciative eye. It’s a fantastic movie!

The prince had something over 2 minutes of screen time, appearing briefly at the beginning to sing an overly-long song (yes, I know) and then at the end for a kiss.

That is not what I call a love interest.

I’m talking about your general characterisation of the film. Try rewatching it knowing that it’s slow-paced and you may find other aspects to enjoy. It really is a masterpiece.

I’m sure it is. I’ll watch it again after seeing the new one.

Yes, but the effect on society was greater as the population actually decreased during and after the fall and did not begin to recover until the late 1700's. Individuals lived average lifespan, but the number of them was lower.

Here's a fun snippet of Rachel's apology video from this week. It's all over Twitter, er... X.

"Insufferable" is only one word to describe this.

SPOILER ALERT: In this version of the recent events of her own making, Rachel is the victim. Not only is she the victim, but she is also a gift unto the world that people will line up to be witness to forever more. Snow White!



Miss Zegler may have genuine talent as an actress, but she has a lot of growing up to do. In the meantime, Disney or whatever other media company that invests hundreds of millions of dollars on her work needs to reign in the leash on her and manage her very tightly and closely. Because left to her own devices, she's borderline disastrous to media investments.

And people say I was dramatic! Maybe making this Snow White remake a flop might not be a bad idea.

Trailer leaked:

Welp, it looks like my previous post on page 183 (that was totally intended as a joke) turned out to be at least half accurate as the trailer shows a battle scene, Snow White as an action heroine and a subplot about the political landscape of the kingdom and common people feel.

This really needs to be stressed. The anger towards her was as intense then as it is now, and all because of her comments about the 1937 film.

I agree, on a Disney fan site I don’t think anyone should be surprised many of us didn’t appreciate her smug and condescending comments towards a film that became the foundation the Disney Company was built on, also a film many of us adore.

I don’t hate Zegler, I just think she’s an idiot who needs to learn what is and isn’t appropriate to say since a large part of her job is convincing fans to pay to see movies she’s in, as I’ve said before there’s actors I love who’s movies I’ll intentionally see and actors I don’t like who’s movies I’ll avoid, prior to her being cast as Snow White I’d never even heard her name before, in just a few clumsy interviews she has solidly placed herself in my not see list.

I am among those who adore the film, as all the merchandise related to it in my home (some of it dating back to the 1930s) attests. I honestly don't have a problem with Zegler's comments. They're exactly the kind of thing I can imagine any teenager or young person in their early 20s saying, and to get that annoyed with her for speaking as many of her contempories would strikes me as more than a little excessive.

I don’t find her answers to the interviewer’s questions the least bit condescending as far as the film is concerned.

She was talking about the modern edge that was written into the film. As far as the prince comment, there is no motivation given in the 2 1/2 minutes of screen time - that’s likely what she meant. He just turns up, sings a song and the shows up at the end.

That may have been sufficient in 1937 when telling a simple fairytale. But she was contrasting the new film in answer to questions.

In another interview, she described the prince as a "guy who literally stalks her". That also really annoyed people.

I don't consider myself that old, but I just shrug off much of what she says as rather typical for her age group (I know that I certainly spoke in less measured and more simplistic terms when I was that young). The only thing I would truly fault her for are her apparent swipes at Gadot. Perhaps they're the result of careless posting/liking practices rather than something she intends, but either way, it casts her in a poor light.

I suppose you’re right. But none of her words give me any indication that she was “hating on” the OG Snow White. In any event, I hope the new film gives the prince or love interest more than 2 to 3 minutes of screen time. And an actual role to play.

They basically took it from Once Upon a Time. Seems like the Queen also takes after Regina rather than the original character.

 

[LittleBuford]

Oh, I agree. She was presenting the original film as a product of its time that had various elements that didn’t resonate with her. That seems an entirely unexceptionable stance to me, even if she was a bit simplistic in her articulation of it.
