Snow White and the Huntsman(2012)



“Lips red as blood, hair black as night. Bring me your heart my dear, dear Snow white.”






Queen/Ravenna/ Charlize Theron has undoubtedly taken the limelight by having an extraordinary presence in each scene of hers. If you want to see a true villain, have a look at her!  She did justice to her character by highlighting vain, hatred and sadistic self.

The Extent to which she can go to save her beauty  is shown by eating the birds heart and by sucking youth from young girls.  Therefore, when the magic mirror reveals that the only way to become Immortal is having snow white’s heart, she will do anything to get to her.

Snow white is played by Kristen Stewart. She looks beautiful and it feels nice to see her experimenting with her acting capabilities after twilight series. Her dialogues are less or maybe she just fails to show enough expressions to make people remember what she said in the movie :p.  However, People will leave the cinema appreciating Charlize Theron more, which is alright considering her Experience and acting skills. I like the fact that her characters evilness is explained and is associated with incidents related to her childhood.

The Movie production is mostly done in United Kingdom and also there are some astounding scenes shot at a place in Pembrokeshire (south of Wales). Each scene is so aesthetically captured complemented with some Hollywood style effects.

Snow white and the Huntsman (2012) is not the typical sweet, happy-go-lucky kind of movie you expect it to be. It is inspired by the fairy tale but there are a lot of twists and turns. Director (Rupert Sanders) has shown shades of darkness, violence which keeps the audience guessing.

When Queen chooses Huntsman( Chris Hemsworth) to find snow white (who has already escaped from the castle and is wandering in the dark forest where no one has come out alive other than Huntsman himself) he fails to kill her and ultimately becomes her mentor to defeat the Queen. Chris Hemsworth looks good after his THOR presence in avengers.

The scenes during their journey through dark forest are beautiful and full of action. He manages to get more attention from the audience compared to the prince (Sam Chaplin). Amazingly, the prince is seen doing nothing at all and it annoyed hell out of me. I would prefer Queens Side kick (Sam Spruell) over him any day.

I like the fact that the Director gave the movie a twist especially when snow white falls into a deep sleep and is kissed by * someone* and not by the prince! – Watch the movie to find out-

Not forgetting the amazing intense action scenes where snow white actually leads an army against the queen and shows that a woman is not only about beauty but she has brains too.  But why couldn’t they make the final confrontation with the queen more intense??! : (

It’s a pleasure to watch when the dwarfs turn up, however its gets a little dragged. My favorite scene in the movie is when the queen dips in a liquid( Milk)…. Charlize therone is love!
On a second thought I believe that the director should have tried playing with the ending of the movie in order, to give the movie a feel of completion and provide the audience with a sense of contentment.

I watched this movie with my girlfriends and it was a huge fun! I don’t know about boys, because I believe they will find it sissy and not very entertaining but come on guys you don’t want to miss this movie. This Movie will manage to win some awards, hopefully.
