Part 3/9:
Central to this debate is Rachel Zegler, the actress portraying Snow White, whose public opinions and political stances have sparked backlash. Critics argue that the attention she has garnered for her viewpoints, including a controversial tweet regarding Palestine, has overshadowed the film itself. This has led to the perception that her political beliefs are to blame for the film’s underwhelming performance.
As the film faces an anticipated loss of over $150 million at the box office, accusations of racism have also been leveled against the criticism of Zegler. However, many argue that the issues run deeper than just race; they stem from dissatisfaction with what some perceive to be a disingenuous remake that strays too far from the original narrative.
