David Hand the son of the original ‘Snow White’ director slams the movie remake and call it ‘Insulting’.
David calls the remaking idea as a completing “woke Pathetic” following how Rachel Zegler once criticized his father’s film as “extremely dated” which was made in 1937.
At first, the casting of Latina star Rachel Zegler (West Side Story) raised a conservative critics issues. Her character is as it is described as having “skin as white as snow” in the original Brothers Grimm story, and the production also decided to have a magical creatures of varying genders and sizes instead of formerly titular seven dwarfs which is iconic in itself.
Rachel Zegler who just 22 years old caused a move when she out on a flurry of comments from last year resurfaced and from her comments back then suggested that she didn’t like the original idea of the movie and think that the new ‘Snow White’ might take a different approach when it comes to the iconic characters of it.
In September, last year Zegler told Variety and Vanity Fair, “She will not be dreaming about the true love and rather she will dream about becoming the leader she knows she can as her late father told her if she was brave, fair, true and fearless she can be the leader herself.”
“There are people who are making jokes regarding us being PC Snow White, where it’s like, yes, it is like that because it was needed. She told this to Vanity Fair previously. “The 1937’s original ‘Snow White’ cartoon was extremely dated especially when it comes to women in a roles of having power and how she can be fit for the world,” She told this to EW. “The original 1937 cartoon which came out, was very evidently so. The whole focus of the movie is on the guy who is literally stalking her and on her love story. Weird. So that’s what we didn’t do that this time.” She told this to Extra TV.
David Hand, who has worked for Disney as a designer in 1990s and his father (who was also named as David Hand) was the director of the original Snow White film. David Hand was recently interviewed with The Telegraph, where he directly didn’t criticize Zegler, but slams the movie and unloads heavily on the film, which has not yet seen by anyone outside the studio, even in the form of its trailer.
Even though the idea of remaking the movie is receiving some backlashes there are also many young critics who are pointing it out and criticizing the idea of remake, said David Hand. A Tiktoker racked nearly 10 million views reportedly on arguing, “It is not feminist to critics the Disney princesses. Now every women out there wants to be a leader. Not every woman craves or wants the power and that’s absolutely OK. It is now at all anti-feminist to want to get married, to want to fall in love or to want to stay at home, none of these things makes anyone or you a less valuable person.”
Rachel Zegler didn’t commented or responded to the criticism she is receiving, which is resurfaced by her comments, but she tweeted last week, “ I hope that the world becomes more kinder,”” and have asked her followers to treat each other with empathy and patience.
