Snow White and the Huntsman
By fairest blood it is done, by fairest blood it is undone

Snow white and the huntsman is the battle between beauty and innocence for fairest blood. This is a four star dark twist to the traditional fairy tale of the orphaned princess, Snow White (Kristen Stewart), and her escape from her step mother and evil Queen Ravenna (Charlize Theron).

From the producers of Alice and the Wonderland, An Evil Queen, Ravenna, tricks, seduces, and kills the king; she takes the kingdom and rules with intimidation and magic. She draws her life force and youth from magic which is fuelled by the draining of other beautiful young hearts and souls.
Her life is to be the fairest in all of the land yet another has come of age to surpass even the strongest magic.
“She is life itself”
Snow White, the late king’s daughter, was kept alive for many years in a tower in the castle since she was a little girl. Now she is what stands between Ravenna and immortality. “Be warned, her innocence and purity is all that can destroy you but she is also your salvation”. In a flurry of lust and luck, as well as her connection with Mother Nature, she escapes into the dark forest. The adventure begins as the Queen hires the Huntsman who knows the dangerous dark forest, to bring the princess back to her.
The pursuit of Snow White, on an evil Queen’s quest for immortality – the princesses snow white heart.

The pursuit of the princesses’ heart starts… and ends with the flawless acting of Oscar winner Charlize Theron.
The South African born Theron, known for her blonde hair and revengeful roles in Monster (Alieen Wuornos), and The Italian Job (Stella Bridger), graces the screen in a five star performance. She shows her versatility as a lead actress in her not revengeful but narcissistic character of Ravenna.
This is portrayed in the second Mirror scene. Ravenna asks the Mirror “Mirror Mirror on the wall, who is fairest of them all?” The mirror tells her” My queen, you have defied nature and

    Snow White has the purest soul and the kindest personality, which makes her so perfect that not being capable to be a movie character, because perfect means boring for a protagonist. Besides boring, Snow White is obviously the weakest and most brainless character, that she didn’t show any spirit of revolt or independence, making friends and great relationships with animals and dwarfs, chasing by a hunter in the forest, waiting for the prince’s kiss after having the poisoned apple from the queen. Snow White has taken a negative and a passive position since the start of the movie. Even the song (Someday My Prince will come) opened up her mind with blind optimism and useless waiting attitude. But citizens enjoyed watching such story, that Snow White was made for her era, that the dejected Americans needed such a fairytale to bring their confidences back to life after the great depression ended in…

    Her father was happy that she was so amazing and so like his wife in grace, but less than thrilled with all of the men who wanted for her. Her stepmother was, blatantly, unhappy about the girl. She would ask her magic mirror – as all women get as wedding presents from their witch mothers – who the fairest woman was in all the land. Usually, it would say, “You of course.” This was before Snow White turned thirteen and starting bleeding with the moon. Snow White’s stepmother asked the mirror who was the fairest woman in all the land and it answered, “You queen are very fair but Snow White is the fairest in the land.” The queen was enraged. She threw a tantrum that any toddler would marvel at. She decided that the girl had to be killed. She hired a burly huntsman to kill her. The huntsman wrapped Snow White in a potato sack, threw her over his horse, and rode into the compulsory, mysterious, fairytale…
