Disney's live-action remake of Snow White grapples with the difficulty of transforming a classic tale into a contemporary context. The film faces backlash due to its handling of themes like representation and the loss of classic elements, such as the original song 'Someday My Prince Will Come.' With a reimagined plot that portrays Snow White as a more complex character without a clear ambition, the film illustrates the tension between tradition and modern interpretations, stemming from real-world issues like the conflict in Gaza and the 'woke' discourse surrounding the production.
"It's a tricky thing reworking a fable that's been around two centuries, and that's doubly true when leaping from the two-dimensional fantasy realm of animation to the more complicated land of flesh and bone."
"The problem with Snow White is that you never stop thinking about these much-strategized and sometimes superficial efforts to recontextualize the original movie."
