Snow White: Un-Disney Project

The film “Snow White and the Huntsman” depicts the journey between the two main characters Snow White and Ravenna the evil Queen. Snow White, who is played by Kristen Stewart for majority of the film, has been locked in her slain father's castle for years. The character is imprisoned by her father’s evil second wife played by Charlize Theron, whose now queen. The Queen also lives in fear of losing of her young appearance and uses the blood of virgins to restore it. She tests the success of this with the well-known mirror on the wall. When the magic mirror reveals that Snow White is the source of her immortality, the queen seeks to kill Snow White. In “Snow White and the Huntsman” many patterns are used like the camera shots of the film, lighting and color. The pattern of camera shots is seen throughout the movie using close ups shots and wide range shots. For example, when Snow White fled from the castle and is chased by the Queen’s horsemen into the Dark Forest, there are close up shots of medieval like armor enforcing the idea that the film is not in modern day and the action of the film will be done with weapons like swords and axes. Close up shots of Snow White and Ravenna dictates who is in power and who is not. The shots show Snow White wearing peasant’s clothing, whereas the Queen wears jewelry, expensive clothes and a crown. Wide range shots are shown in film with vast plains, castles and battles’ giving a sense of realism to the setting. Lighting is another pattern

In, “Snow, Glass, Apples” Snow White takes over the role of villain in this story. At the beginning of the story she is described as being “only a child: no more than five years” with “eyes as black as coals”, and “lips redder than blood” (125, 126). At face value she seems like an odd child. However she is treated like and “other”’ and evokes fear from everyone despite just being a little girl. This is shown when the queen states that “she had always been scared of the little princess” and the townspeople called her a “thing of terror” (126, 129). The princess’s physical appearance does not adhere to how princesses are “supposed” to look like: beautiful, amicable, and unthreatening. The reason that Snow White is feared is revealed when the queen momentarily warms up to her, and strokes her cheek. The princess then sinks her “sharp yellow teeth” into the queen’s hand, drawing blood and feeding from her (126). She is a vampire and this is also confirmed later in the text when the queen states that “that they took her in the day, while she slept, and was at her weakest” (128). This princess strikes such fear into the heart of the queen that she bars her chambers with iron bars on the windows and barring her door. The text also alludes to the fact that Snow White fed on her father’s body until he shriveled to nothing and died. This is shown when the queen finds “a multitude of ancient scars” that have mysteriously

Beauty will get you far; a message strongly carried throughout this story. The "...King took another wife, a beautiful woman, but proud and overbearing" (1), the father marries to have an alluring Queen not a caring mother for Snow White. The Queen receives her crown due to her looks despite her awful personality. Essentially, as long as the woman is attractive her, society will disregard her intelligence and character; her beauty is the preponderance of her value. Being known across the land for her beauty it is obvious to see why the Queen has such a high obsession over her looks, it is society's fixation on the worth of physical appearances. The conflict between Snow White and the Queen is on the subject of beauty; instead of living peacefully as a family it turns to jealousy and competition. Snow White without her charming face

Why did the filmmakers of today change the “original” grimm’s brothers fairy tales to the typical “happily ever after” style? Maybe because the stories were to dark and disturbing for younger audiences. Like in the snow white where the queen ask for the lungs and liver to eat the next night…

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, released in 1937 has made an incredible impact on film of all types. This movie was the first full length animated movie to be released with color and sound.("Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)." Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937). N.p., n.d. Web. 12 May 2015.) With out Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs success, Disney would not have been able to afford to make anymore movies. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs became the animated film against which all later Disney films were judged. ("Legacy of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." Disney Wiki. N.p., n.d. Web. 11 May 2015.) This movie has also been the influence for other very famous films. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs has strongly impacted film.

Lastly is the worst aspect of her mirroring self to the queen. Her transformed self is different and even in the night of her wedding, the night where she is supposed to have complete happiness she lets her cruelty get the best of her, “when the wicked queen entered she was recognized right away by Snow White and iron slippers had already been heated up over a fire of coals” (Brothers Grimm, “Snow White”89). Even though the queen tried killing Snow White in various occasions, a compassionate and pure being as was Snow White at the beginning of the story would not kill someone; her new self has rancor in her heart and allows the killing of the queen by dancing until she dropped dead.

Snow White did get kicked out of the castle by her evil Stepmother; and she was ordered to be killed. Although, Snow White did not die and she went to live on with the dwarves; her stepmother disguised herself as an old woman and brought a poisoned apple. This apple contained a sleeping potion that only “True Love’s Kiss” could break the spell. Many years passed as snow white laid in the coffin before a prince came around. The Prince kissed Snow White and she awoke; the dwarves jumped for joy when she awoke. The Prince and Snow White went on to live in a “Happily Ever After” with one another.

In the Snow White and the Huntsman, the queen wants to live eternally and always be the fairest of them all by continuing to suck the youth from the young. She has to do this every once in a while to stay the “fairest”. One day she asks the mirror on the wall who the fairest of them all is and it replies saying that actually there is another girl that is more fair then her. The mirror tells her if she also takes the girl’s youth then she will never have to take the youth of the young again. Snow white

Casandra, which made them think the worst. She had a magic mirror that always told the truth. Queen Casandra asked who was the fairest of them all and it was ALWAYS her. Until one day Snow White appeared in the mirror and NOT Queen Casandra.

“Snow White…was as beautiful as the light of day, even more beautiful than the queen herself. Snow White’s beauty is a recurring theme in both the Disney animated movie Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and in the original Grimm’s fairy tale, “Little Snow White.” Snow White’s beauty is what makes her life change. As a child, her beauty is what causes her to be in danger, when the huntsman is ordered to kill Snow white, it is what saves her life, and finally, after Snow White’s death, it is her beauty that causes the prince to want her.

Though her motives may be selfish, her flaws give a sense of character that is far more realistic and relatable to most women. She is filled with sadness, envy, and desire, which are emotions that reflect most women in society. Obsessed with her fading looks, she strives to be the most beautiful woman living and would do anything to get there. Her fears are similar to any aging woman and though she may have gone too far with the poison apple, her motives are not unnatural. Aside from her deviant goals, her intelligence and perceptiveness is a force that grants her power. Snow White’s mindlessness and naivety operate in advantage to the Evil Queen. This is evident when the Evil Queen successfully poisons Snow White, which was possible through her ability to use dark magic in order to transform into an old woman and deceive Snow White into thinking she had good intentions. Even though her motives are extremely shallow and her ways are cunning, she relies upon her own intelligence to pursue her long-desired goal of attaining beauty. As a result, she obtained a great power, stayed focused on her goals and exhibited powerful traits Snow White did not have throughout the film—agency towards ambitions.

Snow white is a lovely child born to a queen. Her hair was white like snow and her lips were as red as blood just like her mother wanted. Unfortunately, it was not long before the queen died and the king remarried. The new queen was selfish and very self centered as she liked the praise of being the fairest of them all as per a magical mirror. All hell broke loose when the mirror declared snow white as the fairest of them all. The queen tries to have her killed severally but she was always being revived by seven dwarfs. She finally managed to put her in a very deep sleep that the dwarfs though she was dead and put her into a glass casket only to be revived by a charming prince and ends up living happily ever after without the influences of the wicked queen as dies because of

The fascinating plot captured the audience since the beginning. An evil queen, who aspired to be the most beautiful woman in her kingdom, had a magic mirror to which she asked if there was someone more beautiful than her. When the mirror responded that the young Princess Snow White was infinitely more beautiful, the queen was enraged, and ordered a hunter to take the girl to the forest and kill her. The hunter, taking pity on Snow White, left her and gave her instructions to run as fast as she could. As the wicked queen demanded that the girl's heart be brought to him, to show that he indeed fulfilled the order, the hunter killed a deer and teared out the heart, and presented it to the queen as if it were Snow White's.

“Yet another kingdom falls to your glory. Is there no end to your power and beauty.” -Mirror (Snow White And The Huntsman) Can beauty conquer all? Snow White And The Huntsman is a movie directed by Rupert Sanders unlike your ordinary Little Snow White by The Brothers Grimm, in Snow White where little Snow is tricked each time by her stepmother's bad doings Snow White The Huntsman has a twist in love and in the wicked witch. The witch/queen is obligated to stay beautiful and young because of a curse that was put on her at young age by her mother, the witch in Little Snow White just wanted to be beautiful because she wanted to be fairest of all.
