Summary of "영어 대화 듣기 - NEW 백설 공주 영화 이야기"
In this engaging discussion, the hosts delve into the controversy surrounding the upcoming live-action adaptation of Disney's "Snow White." Despite the film not being released yet, it has generated significant backlash primarily due to its casting choices and the portrayal of classic characters.
The main point of contention arises from the casting of a Latina actress as Snow White, which has upset some fans who feel that the character should have "skin as white as snow," as described in the original tale. This issue echoes similar criticisms faced by the recent adaptation of "The Little Mermaid." The hosts note that Disney's decision to use CGI for the Seven Dwarfs instead of hiring real actors with dwarfism has further fueled the controversy, as it raises questions about inclusivity and representation in Hollywood.
Additionally, the actress's comments in interviews have stirred the pot. She has positioned the new film as focusing on Snow White's personal journey rather than the traditional romantic narrative, even suggesting that the prince in the original story was a "stalker" and that the tale itself was "creepy." This perspective, while potentially refreshing, has been perceived as condescending and disrespectful to the original material, leading to a PR nightmare for Disney before the film has even premiered.
The conversation highlights the complexities of adapting beloved stories for modern audiences and the challenges of balancing creative liberty with respect for the source material.
