dangermousieI finally saw Snow White and the Huntsman (going to the movies is tricky when one has a toddler) and I loved it!
It was dark and epic and inventive and made me feel all the intensity fairy tales made me feel when I was a child. Also, the older I get, the more I like women-centric heroic narratives and this was that rare beast - a mythic adventure tale with a heroine and a villainess at the center. So good.
You know me, I am the ultimate shipper. Yet I shocked myself by being happy Snow (btw, I love KS in this - Twilight is forgiven) ended up with neither William nor the Huntsman - she needs to experience the world and normal life and not just jail and hair-raising survival adventure before she embarks on a relationship. The Huntsman (mmmm, Chris Hemsworth makes me weak at the knees) is still mourning his wife and seeing her in Snow, and William (whom I shocked myself by adoring) hasn't had the chance to get to know her yet - his feelings are childhood attachment and guilt. Sp yes, breathing space for everyone.
Please tell me there will be a sequel? And a director's cut?
And now I crave a movie about Joan of Arc.
