Could you imagine your mother dying, and then your father marries a wicked woman who murders him?
When Snow White’s mother dies, her father, the king, marries a beautiful prisoner of war. Snow White finds the new queen beautiful, but, after the wedding, it’s revealed that the new queen is actually a wicked, vampire-like evil creature who gains her youth from sucking the life from others. After killing the king, the queen imprisons Snow White in a tower. Most think that the king’s daughter is dead, and Snow White is locked away for years, coming of age, far removed from the rest of the population.
Meanwhile, the queen sucks the life out of everything. Nature, plants, etc. die because of the queen’s evil powers. The people are miserable, unable to stop the queen and her evil power over the land.
When Snow White escapes from her cell, the queen hires a drunk, grieving huntsman to find Snow White in the evil forest. She’s determined to find Snow White because her magic mirror reveals that Snow White is now the fairest of all the land.
I enjoyed this movie. It was kind of strange watching a movie about Snow White that was geared toward adults. This was NOTHING like the Walt Disney version! While Snow White is in the woods, now being protected by the original huntsman, she encounters all sorts of things, including a wicked troll, dwarfs, an enchanted forest, and fairies.
The special effects were amazing! I also thought that this movie is an example of good over-coming evil. I also thought it was interesting that Snow White, each day while imprisoned, speaks the Lord’s prayer. You get the impression that Snow White is chosen to save her people, and she has God by her side while she combats the throes of evil.
Overall, a pretty good movie.
