Blancanieves (2013)

How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This deserves no more than 5 minutes to understand what it's worth. What the film wants from you.Btw, this is no silent, neither sound, this is no film at all actually. Just a poor trailer-like film of a director who doesn't know that an actor may act and not just be a poor fashion model in a "beautiful" frame. Just see the three repeated (or more?) shots on the two women (mother and daughter in the arena) : poor playing, giggling. Now, the use of black and white ??? I let you guess the motivations of the director. And why no dialogs ??? Guess too... This guy is just reluctant to reality which is the blood of cinema. Yes, even a fairytale should be real, and dreams and nightmares are full of (The night of the hunter, for ex.) but there's too overblown intentions here to make any real things appear. Just plain propaganda of feelings. Just photographs following one another. If this director'd have been honest (or just a director), he'd renounce to movement too (in fact he did in the worst way possible) and would have just proposed a slide show.The story telling suffers the same hammering (the fall of the hat with a slow motion is so heavy that we can't afterward care for the twist of fate, the fact that it was not for his death but for hers... ) Anyway, actors having not been able to play this correctly, I decided enough was enough and quit my seat. (My God, has this guy seen more than 5 silent films in his life ??? Is Spain and its cinema in such a profund crisis ?)

This is my first ...I simply can not stay silent after seeing the score of this shame..... abusing animals in the name of what?????The Superior Court of Justice of Madrid ordered the "Madrid" to start an expedient sanctioning those responsible for the film "Snow White" for the death of nine bulls during the filming of the film in the bullring of Aranjuez.The complaint in this case came from the "Asociación animalistic Strategy - Platform No Es La Tortura Culture" in July 2011. The Association recorded images which show that during the shooting of the film, were attacked and killed nine animals (cattle breed of deal) at bullring of Aranjuez, in clear violation of the law. In October of the same year, the lawsuit was filed after a resolution of the Deputy Director General of Land Resource of Madrid, strengthened by resolution of the General Director of Environment. However, the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid now forced Madrid to start an expedient sanctioning those responsible for the film, due to the death of nine bulls during filming in the bullring of Aranjuez, without the proper authorization to perform a show public, ie a tauromachian event. The judgment of October 31, quash the decision of the Community of Madrid in filing the complaint.Fonte(source): www.eldiario.es/caballodenietzscheSHAMEFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw this movie as a sneak preview and had an open mind as to what to expect. I was disappointed!Blancanieves is compared in some reviews to "the Artist". Beware, it's nothing like it. It's humorless, grim (or is it Grimm in this case) and black (and white, but only in it's colors). Some say it's artistic. My criticism is that it's pretended. It's not that the movie never touches you, but it's hard to stay focused on this movie. The way one scene melts into another was condemned in movies like Highlander and is arty now, because it's silent and black and white? The only part that really was good, was the end.When you want to come out of the movie theater depressed, this is the movie for you.

This movie is quite disappointing. Most of the comments make you think it's going to be awesome and then it lets you down.There are way more differences than similarities with White Snow. It reaches a point that the name leads you to expect something totally different from reality and I personally think that it should have received different title. Of course, with another title it wouldn't have gotten so many viewers.Anyway, although the authors wanted to give it some kind of credibility, they failed to do so. I'm really surprised of its scores and every single comment I've heard in person from people I know are completely different from those good comments you hear in the media, qualifying it as an awful movie.
