Gal Gadot was certain the live-action remake of "Snow White" was "going to be a huge success," she told a group of interviewers in Israel in a wide-ranging interview published this week. But then the events of October 7, 2023, took place, and "there's a lot of pressure on celebrities to bring up things against Israel," she added.
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.
