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.

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.
She did more than serve the mandatory amount, she chose to promote them and publicly supports them.
There are Israelis who chose prison time over serving in their colonial occupation army.
Yes
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.

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.
I've seen analysis by body language acting specialists
What, why?
Or the movie "snow white" hurt the movie "snow white" at the box office
It always has to be some outside factor with these idiots. Good forbid they look inward and ask some tough questions to themselves, i.e. "why do all MY movies bomb so bad?"
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.
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.
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.

Zionists are excellent at not taking responsibility. She’s a wooden actor that makes bad films.
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.
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.
Gal is a stupid cunt. No one should care.
I had no idea they even made a new Snow White. Guess I've been doing a good job at ignoring ads.
The film was mediocre, but all the live action remakes have been.
Projections like always, it's her side who pressure antioccupation, threaten them and call them antisemitic
