Upon the announcement, the internet instantly went into a frenzy mode, mainly questioning the casting choice of a Latin-descent playing the beloved princess. The 21-year-old actress who had her breakthrough as Maria in Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story, Rachel Zegler, will proudly take the lead role of Snow White. Thanks to the 30-second first-look teaser previewed last September during the 2022 D23 Expo presentation, the key essences of the narrative, such as the cottage in the woods, the magic mirror, and of course, the poisoned apple, have been confirmed to make appearances in the flick. Yet rest assured, not all is altered otherwise, it wouldn’t be a Snow White story. No, this version, as the cast female lead said, is about “a young woman who has a function beyond Some Day My Prince Will Come,” the song's meaning of which promotes the outdated convention on women. So in a similar spirit, Snow White will no longer present the overtly submissive “Fairest One of All” having to suffer the wrath of her wicked, vain stepmother resignedly.

Go deeper each day.But one thing to be made clear: albeit sans plot at present, this live-action adaptation will employ a more contemporary approach. There is no way around growing and functioning in your identity apart from God. Delve deeper into the word and watch you meet you because a mirror reflects you. It seeks to reveal you to who you are-who your maker says you and not what Aunt Lala or John says you are.īehold the word of God each day, let it transform you as it reveals you to who you are without frustrating you. The holy book is the only mirror that reflects your true self back at you. It reflects our true self to us as we behold our maker. Our validation should come from the holy book as we flip each page. The need to be validated by people, social media, academic papers, marriage, etc can be frustrating and leaves one with a void. We attach identity to them yet they are perishable and when they don`t fill that emptiness, we feel lost and empty. Mirrors are just a representation of people, achievements, careers, marriages, education, sense of style, etc that validate us. Many of us like the evil queen are constantly probing and seeking validation from mirrors in our lives. On one occasion, the mirror told her another is fairer than her, the evil queen decided in her heart to kill snow white. The queen was cursed to be this way-vanity just like the book of Ecclesiastes says. The mirror always said, “ you, my queen are the fairest of them all ” queen is obsessed with her beauty that she believed no one should be fairer than her as if that is even possible, with the tagline that the beautiful ones are not yet born, hehehe. The evil queen has a mirror and constantly asks the mirror just one question. The current remake of Snow White and the 7 dwarfs is “ Snow White and the Huntsman.” Forget the fact that the huntsman is Chris Hemsworth the movie is quite thrilling and had me hooked and here is why…. What sort of beauty was this that made her top the queen`s list of most wanted people? I wonder who Elle or Marie Claire magazine would compare Snow white too among the Hollywood celebrities or even our own Ugandan celebrities? I know many girls today would kill to be on the evil queen`s list with a tagline, ``wanted for being more beautiful than the queen.'*loool* I loved the classic snow white and the 7 dwarfs story and my young mind could not comprehend her beauty. As I watched snow white and the huntsman, the evil queen`s mirror sparked off this piece. The mirror is major job is to reflect images and that has never changed. Girls are constantly reminded that a mirror is a must-have in your bag, room, restrooms, and everywhere else.
