Summary
The movie starts off with a book opening with some text on it giving us some back story for why the Evil Queen want's Snow White dead. The actual movie starts off with the Queen asking the magic mirror, "mirror mirror on the wall who is the fairest of them all?" The mirror tells the Queen that it's Snow White and once she is told this she decides that it's time to get rid of Snow White. At this point you see Snow White meeting and falling in love with Prince Charming. The Queen orders the Huntsman to go and kill Snow White but he questions her because she is from the royal family unlike the Queen who just married into the family. In the forest Snow White is picking flowers with the Huntsman watching over her about to kill her but as soon as Snow White screams he stops and tells Snow White to run away as far as she can and not to come back. After a chase like scene she ends up crying in an opening in the forest and a bunch of forest animal came to cheer she up. The animals end up taking her the cottage of The Seven Dwarfs. Seeing that it's very dirty she decides to clean it up in hopes that they would let her stay. The Dwarfs are digging in a mine for diamonds and once the clock rings they pack up and leave. Just in front of the house the notice the lights in the house are one and once they went inside they saw it was clean and that's where they met Snow White. Around the same time the Queen go's to the mirror and ask, "who is now the fairest of them all," the mirror replied that Snow White is alive. Once she's inform of this the Queen decides to deal with it her self so she makes a potion to make her look old and a poison apple that will make her sleep forever unless kissed by her one true love. The next morning when the Dwarfs have left to go to the mines Snow White is baking in the house she is met by an old women (who is actually the Queen) and is given the poisonous apple. Once she takes the first bite she collapses at the same time the forest animals go to get the Dwarfs in an attempt to save Snow White but they are too late as in the Queen is just about to leave and they go and chase her driving her too a cliff. The cliff breaks at the tip and the Queen falls too her death. Thinking that Snow White is dead and not having the heart to burry her the Dwarfs build her a glass coffin. With all the Dwarfs gathered around her the mourn for her but at that moment Prince Charming shows up and sees Snow White in the coffin of glass. At the side of the coffin which in now open he gives her a kiss and she wakes up, Snow White and Prince Charming go and live happily ever after.
Stereotypes
Snow White: They make her out to be someone who can only cook and clean and only lives to do work for men so just the stereotypical women
|
Prince Charming: He’s made out to be “perfect guy” with showing up on a white horse to save the princess, plus the facts that he only really did was sing a song with Snow White and save her with a kiss.
|
Evil Queen: When she turns herself into the witch they made her look old and wrinkly and just over all ugly. Even with her voice is all scratchy.
|
Seven Dwarfs: Will always be there for you, to help you feel better, will sacrifice anything for you.

Favourite character and why
My favourite character would be the Evil Queen all because the fact is that she went through just so that no one would be prettier than her so that she can be “Fairest in the land.” As well as she’s so determined to be better than Snow White. The Queen is just pure evil to the core and who doesn’t love a good old fashion villain.
Favourite scene and why
My favourite scene would be right when the Evil Queen is making the poison apple and you can see when she dips it into the green potion that when the potion drops of that it forms the shape of a skull on the apple. I like it because it is a really good form of symbolism saying that the apple is going to kill her and that the Queen is going to get what she wants.
Change up the story
Fixing up the story giving Prince charming a bigger role and the Evil Queen getting justice for what she done
It would be the same as the original story but I’d give the Prince a bigger part in the film. As in he would realize that Snow White is missing and is going around the kingdom looking for her, asking people if they know what happened to Snow White. But as soon as she find out that the Prince is looking for her she go’s and tell the kingdom that Snow White is dead. Prince Charming would not accept the fact that she is dead until he sees the body. Then we go to the Queen asking the mirror “who is the fairest of them all,” after being told that Snow White is alive she kidnaps and torture the Huntsman for not killing Snow White like he was told. As soon as Snow White takes the first bite of the apple the Witch reveals that she’s actually the Evil Queen just to mock Snow White. Instead of falling to her death she doesn’t die at all not until the end where at a party Snow White along with Prince Charming and the Seven Dwarfs reveals that she is actually alive and that the Queen poisoned her in an attempt to kill her. It all ends with the Queen being given a potion that will turn her beauty into ugliness as well that she’s now in a prison that anyone can see her and how ugly she truly is. And now Snow White and Prince Charming get married and live happily ever after.
