求snow white and the huntsman英文影评

Snow White and the Huntsman's romance appears to have been modeled after the Luke/Han/Leia love triangle, with Snow torn between the mercenary Huntsman (whose reasons for helping her change from monetary to personal over the course of the film) and the heroic, good-hearted (and boring) William. It becomes obvious who the "winner" is when we see whose kiss awakens her from the poison apple's spell. The love story is kept in the background and is not used as a hook to attract would-be female viewers.

Expectations for Snow White and the Huntsman might determine its reception. The movie, with its ominous subjects and dark, stylish execution may prove to be unpalatable to those who crave lighter fare. Then again, Chris Nolan's Batman movies have not been hampered by a bleak tone. As far as live-action reimaginings of fairy tales are concerned, this is one of the more inventive ones and is unquestionably better than 2011's Red Riding Hood misfire. And for those who think Snow White and the Huntsman is too scary for young kids, they're right. But they're not called the Brothers Grimm for nothing.
