There should be pressure to speak against genocide
Nah it's bc she can't act
por que no los dos?
Honestly it probably is.
Nationalistic / Jingoistic pride. Comes from a state that has compulsory service. No doubt it affects your view on a country if you serve in its military.
I'm sure it did have an effect on the first screenings, actually. She's probably right.
The movie still would have tanked, though, because of the dogshit writing and Gal's complete lack of acting ability.
The whatever kind of drama afterwards didn't help as well. Not everything is misogynistic just because a woman leads a clusterfuck. Maybe it tanked because it was a clusterfuck, not because all men bad.
Star Wars had the same problem.
Undoubtedly there was some mysogyny behind some of the criticism, but ultimately they just weren't good movies.
Kal El no
"We did 20 takes, and THAT was the best one"
Sure, had nothing to do with the dogshit acting and poor story
Snow White failed where other Disney remakes didn't because the original Snow White is not currently a nostalgic touchstone the way the Disney Renaissance films are.
It's not about the bad writing. Every single Disney remake has had bad writing.
It's not about bad effects. Every single Disney remake has had bad effects.
It's not about the culture war outrage. Every single Disney remake has had culture war outrage.
The difference lies purely in the age and cultural relevance of the Snow White IP. The other live action remakes have all been driven by Millennial parents taking their kids to see them, but Millennial parents just don't give a shit about Snow White. It was ancient when they were kids, expecting them to want to see it is like expecting them to want to see a reboot of Betty Boop or Felix the Cat.
Snow White is a film so irrelevant that 99% of people can't name the villain. You might have just said "Maleficent" at your screen but you're wrong - she's the villain in Sleeping Beauty, the villain in Snow White is "Queen Grimhilde". Could you even articulate the difference in plot between those two films? I would wager that must people can't.
Gonna be honest, I thought her name was Evil Queen
expecting them to want to see a reboot of Betty Boop or Felix the Cat.
I would totally wanna see Felix the cat.
Her acting in general unironically looks like AI.
It's like she doesn't actually understand human emotion. I mean she publicly supports genocide and then wonders why everyone hates her so that's probably true.
She’s actually a very average Israeli. Most walk around terrified since childhood and develop sociopathic tendencies. I mean, if the entire ethos of your country is, “the whole world wants to murder you from birth so murder them first” it kind of messes with your long term brain chemistry.
She's Israeli, ofc she supports genocidal mass murder of civilians
There are Israelis going to prison for refusing to join the IDF.
As a wise purple cat once said, "I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are."
Gadot is in favor of the genocide because she's a terrible person. She wasn't doomed from the start by her country of origin; her opinions are within her control.
You misinterpret the reason they’re refusing service. But I agree. They are all accountable for their genocidal hate.
@sabreW4K3 Or maybe no one wants to watch a pro genocider Zionist on screen and boycott that movie for good.
so hollywood made people everywhere else not go to your movie?
Those Hollywood people? Hamas.
Nah, it's because we saw the trailer.
I'm sure that was a factor, but let's not kid ourselves. It wasn't the main reason. The movie was just boring.
I thought it was due to snow white not being white? That is all news and articles said.
Noooo I’m a great actress, one of the best!
Not that I give a shit about Gal Gadot, but when it comes to all the comments about supporting genocide, I sincerely hope you all hold yourselves and your countries to the same standard.
The atrocities that are perpetrated on this god-forsaken planet on a daily basis is sickening and focusing on fucking celebrities, as if they have any say in global politics, is by far one of the least helpful things you can do.
