Rachel Zegler: Future Bright Despite "Snow White" Flop

Alright, let's talk about Disney's "poison apple," the live-action "Snow White." Whether you've seen it or not, you've probably heard something about the reviews. This time, the reception really hasn't been great. On IMDb and rating sites like Peliplat, the scores are very, very low. You could say it's faced a significant challenge; audiences and critics don't seem too impressed. I went to see the movie myself, and honestly, the viewing experience wasn't exactly enjoyable. It felt like the film

Icemoon: I think Zegler's an actress with talent. However, she did say a lot of things on social media that created disappointment and distrust with many Disney fans and casual viewers alike. I love to see a genuine heroine in action, whether is an animated movie like Brave or brainless action flick like Ballerina. A heroine can have both hard physical strength and soft powers like kindness, gentleness, compassion and empathy. I would appreciate if either side is portrayed on screen.What have put off many viewers, including myself, is the fact that Zegler talked about Snow White as if being feminine is a bad thing, as if it is only acceptable that girls nowadays need to be "strong" and "independent" like "a man" (who said men are completely independent from women and/or society anyways??)We need to clearly see through logical fallacies, and recognize that our limited social circle and worldview may not necessarily represent the different/varied environments functioning around the world right now. It's not a zero sum game. One does not have to be independent from being able to rely on others in order to be viewed as sovereign. It's this illogical defiance of common sense that comes across as immature, and that's probably why many people chose to not watch Snow White after what she openly said about the film and her role.
