Or the movie "snow white" hurt the movie "snow white" at the box office
post
More like the movie sucked and her genocidal views didn't help the matter. Get your head out of your ass.
Or...or, it sucked and she's actually a terrible actress.
I don't think she's a terrible actress. More like middling. She really struggles with bad directors and poor scripts. She doesn't have that geniality to inject original interpretation into her characters. I mean, I've seen analysis by body language acting specialists that say that all actors in snow white shared the same bad body language mistakes, and that's a direction error. They were told to act that way, and they did. As is half of their job. The other half is saying "great, that was fun. But would you give me two or more takes to try something different?"
Nah, she’s terrible. I’ve yet to see a scene in any movie that is better because she’s in it. Even Mark Walhberg can act better than her and he can’t act.
She doesn't have that geniality to inject original interpretation into her characters.
That's like the definition of a bad actor.

What, why?
Snow White failed because it’s a bad movie.
And any celebrity not volunteering their disgust at Israel over the Gazan genocide should be boycotted.
I heard she is an ex IDF soldier. If true she can fuck off. Movie sucked because of CGI dwarves that could of been played by little people. Also fact we didn't need a live action Snow White.
Isn't serving in the military mandatory in Israel?
She did a lot more than the mandatory minimum, she cheerled them and praises them every chance she gets.
You get sent to prison if you dodge the draft. Fuck every single Israeli who chooses participating in genocide over a prison sentence
there more I live the more I respect the friends I met who preferred jail to the army.
lost contact with them, but I hold more respect for them the longer I live.
But, they are only following orders.
And how did that go for the last group of fascists that used that as an excuse?
Bad for the plebs that had to die for it.
The industrials, rich, politicians, etc, who got them to do it got immediately rehabilitated and stayed in power everywhere.
With exception from the handful symbolically sacrificed at the Nuremberg media trials
We'll see what happens when Trump is out of office.
Most of them are very proud of being part of the occupation force . Many even film themselves mocking Gazans or committing war crimes
Doesn't matter fuck her she a shit actress.
I don't have an issue with that opinion. It's the condemning her for serving in the military when it seems like she had no choice that I have a problem with.
Not that I know her opinion on the current state of Isreal.
There are Israelis who chose prison time over serving in their colonial occupation army.
She did more than serve the mandatory amount, she chose to promote them and publicly supports them.
Which is important to note, but that's not what the comment above said. It said serving alone is grounds for hate. Israel fucking sucks, but I'm fine working with people who served in the IDF if they're against Israel's actions. We all should be, or our list of allies will be incredibly small, as what nation or group hasn't contributed to horrific actions?
Hard disagree.
“I may have helped an army commit war crimes and I may have shot at people myself but I’m against the war” sounds like an insane excuse. “I was just following orders” has been conclusively debunked. I feel some pity for genuine objectors (the head of the Taylor swift fan club spent a few months in jail rather than serve) but they aren’t in the group you describe.
She almost certainly didn't do either of those. Most soldiers in an army will never fire a weapon. The majority are on the back line or at home.
This isn't to excuse her. She supported Israel in other ways whole they did horrible things. However, most people are reluctant to leave their homes and their families, and most won't do anything particularly objectionable (actively) while in the IDF.
It sounds like you’re still making excuses. Not every Russian soldier is on the front lines committing war crimes in Ukraine either but they’re supporting the cause. They’re “reluctant to leave their homes and their families“ too, but that doesn’t justify anything.
She had a choice though, some Israelis choose prison instead of participating in occupation and genocide. Had she done that she'd be worthy of respect. She chose to serve.
That's not much of a choice.
I know right? Why would you choose to have that blood on your hands?
This is a real naive take. It would be nice if we could all stand for our morals, consequences be damned, but the vast majority won't and I don't consider people to be bad because of a choice between two shitty options.
I really wonder what you would actually choose to do in such a situation. It's easy to armchair. Not as easy when you actually have to make the choice. And I'm saying this from experience with choices far less consequential.

I will certainly judge someone who chooses the option that means murdering starving children.

I'd be following the lead of the others resisting compulsory service. It's not as difficult as you make it out to be, when you actually have principles.
Service is mandatory
She didn't have the obligation to express her proudness of doing the "service " though
The comment above needs to say that then. They had issue with her serving at all.
Everybody should have an issue with people serving in an occupation force
These people are just turning 18 and probably reluctant to leave their home and family/friends and probably don't want to be in jail either. They've spent their entire life with propoganda shoved down their throats and with tons of pressure to just get it done. No, I won't hold that against them.
I'll hold it against them if they choose to take other actions, but not that. They didn't choose where they were born.
Wherever you are living, you've done far less than it would take for these people to avoid serving. You're comfortably sitting at home with relatively few worries.
Just replace israelis with russians and you should see how dumb is your comment is. The least she could do is just to shut her mouth and don't be proud about serving in that genocidal terrorist army
The last part, yes.
I don't have any issue with Russian people either. It sucks what they're being forced to do, and should be killed because they're being used to invade another nation. That doesn't mean I'll hold it against them if they decide to work with us against the Russian elite that are causing the issues.
Don't make potential allies into enemies because of their past. Gal is not a potential ally. She's an Israel sympathizer. That's the thing that's bad about her, not that she served in the IDF.
She is an occupation and a genocide supporter because she was proud of joining the occupation and genocidal force.
That's what I said! I don't know why you're arguing with me. It's bad because she was proud of it. It isn't bad just because she had to.
Don't hold it against people who are against it just because they served. That doesn't define them. Their choices do. If they serve in the IDF and then work against it, they're allies. If they don't serve and work with them, they're still enemies even though they didn't serve. To say it a different way, the service isn't the issue; their choices are.
I heard she is an ex IDF soldier
And proud of it. She's more than earned her nickname Genocide Barbie.
If true she can fuck off

Movie sucked because of CGI dwarves that could of been played by little people. Also fact we didn't need a live action Snow White.
Absolutely true as well
All Israeli citizens of sound body and mind need to serve. They're almost all ex soldiers.
Disney making live action remakes (cheaper than animation) so they don't lose ownership of the IP is the worst reason a human being has ever made a movie for.
Anything produced for that goal will be shit
Counterpoint: I've read that this is the primary reason that Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse was produced - so that Sony could keep control over the Spider-man IP - and that was a fantastic movie.
Sure, but Sony actually gave artists free reign to have fun and take risks with it. With the explicit intention of rejuvenating the IP. Unlike Disney which demand total risk aversion, formulaic and nostalgia based production, and no new creative thought whatsoever.
This is true. Sony’s Spiderman contract is one of the last ones left from when Marvel was part of a hostile takeover in the 80s. There have been other examples of this behavior over the years for the same reason.
Snow White failed because it was as just a bad idea…
I watched the movie. The CGI dwarfs didn't bother me as much as I expected, but everything else was executed very poorly. Gadot was fucking terrible in the movie, and the "modernization" efforts just left the story garbled. It was a bad movie, and even my kids thought so.
and the "modernization" efforts just left the story garbled
Yeah.. just like King Kong and Tarzan it is a story that belongs to a bygone era.
Exactly. Snow White is a fairy tale about a jealous tyrant consumed by vanity and fear of her own mortality. But we already got The Substance exploring those topics. And it's a cautionary tale about accepting help and food from strangers showing up at your door, because you never know their motivations. But we got Sinners exploring that topic. And it's a story about how industriousness does not replace cleanliness and organization at home. But that's boring, and we have K-Pop Demon Hunters.
Really, modernizing the movie could have worked. Make a good film and a lot of other problems go away. The real issue is that it was a bad movie. Bad writing and bad acting. That one song was catchy, but the rest of the entire movie was forgettable.
This is complete bullshit. Zegler's one or two pro-Palestine comments made barely any difference to how the movie was received. And Gadot saying this smacks of of deflection and Israel persecution complex. By far the bigger factors were: nobody wanted to see it (and it was clearly a shallow money-grab by Disney), the whole dwarf portrayal fiasco, and Zegler being generally mouthy and unlikeable.
Gal Gadot is probably mostly talking about herself. She's Israeli and has been pro-Israel for a long time.
Was there not a backlash to Snow White being portrayed by a person of color? Prior to everyone knowing it was also a bad movie, I have to think that would have had an impact. Especially because a major part of Disney's market is appealing to families in flyover states.
Good point. That was another factor. There were a lot of scandals (some legit, some silly) the with that movie. But Disney supposedly pushing some sort of anti-Israel agenda was not one of them.
There's always a backlash when there's someone non-white (and often non-male) in a leading role in a movie these days. Often they really only get traction when the movie sucks, though.
I agree that typically that backlash is stupid and just racist, but even in the original folktale the entire reason she is called "Snow White" was because she was supposed to have "skin as white as snow". It is weird that they chose a non-white actress in this case.
Disney fans don’t give a fuck about Palestine, sometimes there is just such a thing as a bad movie. People are tired of dumb live action remakes, and in general Snow White as a story just did not age well and was never going to be a success in modern cinema.
The hero has a good voice, and movie had a couple of good songs. Usually a good Disney formula. That and a popular, somewhat good plot, fairy tale remake, is part of the formula.
That formula doesn’t work anymore. Doing the exact same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over again will eventually show diminishing returns, and the overt racism and sexism of snow white just simply doesn’t have staying power. People don’t want that anymore. Even the blind consumers of disney.
Ms gal gadot, nepo her way into hollywood and cant act . no the movie was terribly written, plus adding insult to injury you have to be the LEAD in it, which are not a very good actor in. angeline was a better Maleficient anyways.
This is the argument with my friend. Jolie is a good person, macklemoore is virtue signaling. She sacrificed a lot to change them little kids lives. Real change even if it's only 3-4 people. Mackle moore just sings about it.
apparently she was in the IDF, that makes alot of sense of her nepotism.
Yes, yes they are.
See? You're actual the biggest beta here defending someone that wouldn't even post on your fb page if you died. Secondly I DON'T have the ability to produce genuine change in the world, mac does. Instead he's going on submarine rides with millionaires. Think more critically. If you need mac to tell you about the Gaza genocide, that sounds like you need to do some soul searching.
Zionists are excellent at not taking responsibility. She’s a wooden actor that makes bad films.
the movie was pretty bad...
i described it to my friend like this, and had to double verify that i was not joking; this actually happened in the movie:
the movie didnt know what it wanted to be. it flipped back and forth between a mediocre comedy and an ultra-serious drama so quickly that when someone gets shot, goes into surgery and the tone changes to somber the audience is left to believe an important character just died............ "GuESs wHAt TiME iT iS?!" and happy breakout into song and dance.
i just couldnt after that and left.
I mean, my favourite TV show does that all the time! Scrubs can swap on a dime. Then again it's made by the masterful Bill Lawrence.
I would say it works in Scrubs because it breaks the rules of how you should handle it. They knew what they were doing well enough to make it work anyway. Most of the time it'll probably not work, but if you're a master then you can take the rules and break them to your advantage.
I had no idea they even made a new Snow White. Guess I've been doing a good job at ignoring ads.
Well, Zionists gonna zionist
Projections like always, it's her side who pressure antioccupation, threaten them and call them antisemitic
Genocide Barbie, whose job is to repeat lines that are given to her, repeats line that was given to her
She is a meh actor who looks good. Her support of istaels government makes her a shit person. Will never watch her movies again
Gal Gadot, had previous to Snow White casting or PR tour, openly blessed Israel's genocide. I doubt that her repeating zionazi views in promoting film would have improved box office. There was a zionazi campaign against the film because the "hero" was anti-genocide, even with Gadot, as villain, a key part of the film.
Publicity for this zionazi hasbara of blaming box office on lack of full zionazi dedication of the studio, is yet another example of absolute zionazi control over US politics and media through giving neutral toned attention to Gadot despite her objectively anti-human demonism.
