I ~LOVE~ the new snow white movie

[kaylee]

HAVE YOU GUISE SEEN THIS?!?! IT IS A WORK OF ART

idk where the overwhelming amount of negative reviews are coming from -- bloggers, influencers, theater goers -- but what about disney themselves!?? THEY like it!! thats why they spent half a billion dollars making it and advertising it. the 'empty theaters' are clearly propaganda

what i like to see in filmmaking is some low contrast shots that are poorly graded, with bad art direction, costume design, etc. i like a script that would be borderline unreadable on the page, one that has been brought to the big screen with some surprisingly terrible acting, insane casting, and a healthy dose of girlboss wokeness.

and i HATE the old fashioned boomer 'rotoscoping' from 'beautiful footage' that looks 'naturalistic' -- so lame!!! who came up with that!?!??

i dont want any kind of visual unity in sfx, vfx, whatever -- i LOVE uncanny valley stuff. it speaks to my generations post modern malaise in a way that old ppl just cant understand

~ i mean this sucks (below).

i especially hate how friendly and cool the animals seem despite being kinda anthropomorphic in the face and theyre not EVEN REAL!!! the ppl who made this were morons w no tech. if only theyd had more dr

THIS, on the other hand, looks GREAT to me. it needs a few more stops of dr but it is highly naturalistic

i thought these were all real ppl until...... someone told me that IT WAS CGI!! i also though these characters were deformed dwarves (and possible aliens) until i was told that they are 'magical creatures' !!! fooled again by those hollywood geniuses!

most of all, i like that turquoise color of her dress. what a great design! classic

what do you all think of this contemporary masterpiece? im sure it will recover its $500 million within minutes and go on to be a timeless masterpiece that we show to our children, and our childrens children

You've got to hand it to these corporate suits, they know how to make art.

It's the one thing they spend all their time at Harvard and Yale dreaming about.

And the creativity you need to complete an MBA... Mindblowing.

I dare say these folk are born into art, consumed by it at an early age thanks to their investment banking parents.

And it takes BALLS, big brave BALLS to make a movie like this, standing up to Twitter and focus groups and telling them NO. IT WILL HAVE SMALL MAGIC PEOPLE IN IT.

They don't call it creative accounting for nothing

The only way they could have improved upon this would have been having the artist formerly known as Ridley Scott, at the helm.

I'll be honest, when I saw your topic title, I was legitimately hopeful that it was actually good, because as much as I dislike Disney, I am all for any movie being enjoyable. Now I'm sad.

However, I read the comments on the trailer, and they got me smiling again, so there's that.

Since every type of movie has pretty much been done and dusted already, i guess the only thing left to do is make another remake but make it more life like, if thats the correct term. I presume the original would have been made for under ten year olds. This looks like it would appeal to 12- 13 year olds so just another grab for some dollars...

I haven't been around the forum for long, however do i detect a note of satire in your text ? 

The hoodie looks a bit tattered to me, personally i'd go with, he's under dressed and she's overdressed. Which mirrors life anyway lol.

Here are two things that recently happened in very quick succession: my oldest son opened his laptop and said: “Daddy! There’s a new Snow White trailer!” And then, less than two minutes after that, he shrieked: “Daddy! These dwarves are TERRIFYING!”

Reader, it brings me no happiness to inform you that Disney has done it again. Several decades after shaping the animation industry as we know it with exquisite, characterful, cutting-edge feature-length fairytales that are still rightly regarded as classics, it has decided to squeeze out a hot fat turd. As the years of counselling my son now requires will tell you, there is a trailer for Disney’s new live-action Snow White movie. And it is beyond horrible.

What’s so horrible about it, you may ask? Well, there’s the fact that, after the 1937 Snow White movie and the 1961 Snow White movie and the 1969 sex comedy The New Adventures of Snow White and the 1987 Snow White and 1997’s Snow White: A Tale of Terror and 2005’s The Brothers Grimm and 2012’s Mirror Mirror and 2012’s Snow White and the Huntsman and 2016’s The Huntsman: Winter’s War – plus all the assorted books, plays, operas, TV shows and video games based on Snow White – there isn’t really all that much meat left on the bone.

More pressingly, though, there is the fact that this new Snow White is arguably the ugliest thing ever committed to screen. It treats the animals that Snow White finds in the woods with the same photorealistic CGI that was used in the most recent Lion King remake, which has the effect of transforming helpful woodland creatures into literal vermin. And then there are the dwarves. My God, the dwarves.
