This is my first ...I simply can not stay silent after seeing the score of this shame..... abusing animals in the name of what?????The Superior Court of Justice of Madrid ordered the "Madrid" to start an expedient sanctioning those responsible for the film "Snow White" for the death of nine bulls during the filming of the film in the bullring of Aranjuez.The complaint in this case came from the "Asociación animalistic Strategy - Platform No Es La Tortura Culture" in July 2011. The Association recorded images which show that during the shooting of the film, were attacked and killed nine animals (cattle breed of deal) at bullring of Aranjuez, in clear violation of the law. In October of the same year, the lawsuit was filed after a resolution of the Deputy Director General of Land Resource of Madrid, strengthened by resolution of the General Director of Environment. However, the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid now forced Madrid to start an expedient sanctioning those responsible for the film, due to the death of nine bulls during filming in the bullring of Aranjuez, without the proper authorization to perform a show public, ie a tauromachian event. The judgment of October 31, quash the decision of the Community of Madrid in filing the complaint.Fonte(source): www.eldiario.es/caballodenietzscheSHAMEFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obviously as you can see, the movie itself has drawn far better votes than mine in general. And I guess people really dug the style the movie used to tell an "older" story. At least one story that is very well known. And it is not that I'm fed up with watching another Snow White movie (after the one with Julia Roberts and the one with Charlize Theron), it's just that this one did not hit a note with me.And I'm pretty sure there were others at the festival we watched this who felt the same way. We're in the minority of that special group keep that in mind, but even trying to be as objective as possible, you (in this case me) can only be subjective at the end. And this black and white (silent) movie, might look good and have some nice comedic moments, but isn't a revelation whatsoever

The best film I've seen in a long while. A modern silent film, it's a true visual masterpiece. Words definitely would have just gotten in the way. Based on the Snow White fairy tale (though it's at its best when it's not following that story closely), the film follows a young girl, Carmen, after her mother dies in childbirth and her father (Daniel Gimenez Cacho) is made a paraplegic in a bullfight. As a child (played by the lovely Sofia Oria), she lives with her grandmother. When she dies, though, Carmen goes to live with her father and his new wife (Maribel Verdu, one of the most photogenic people on Earth). Of course, her stepmother is wicked. Her wheelchair-bound father is restricted to his bedroom. She's forbidden to see her father, but eventually she sneaks up to his room, where he teachers her the art of bullfighting. When Carmen grows up (now played by Macarena Garcia), her stepmother tries to dispatch her. She's saved by six bullfighting dwarfs, who, teaming up with the girl in their shows, bill themselves as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (the tale is known to them). This film isn't much about the story, although it is actually quite involving. The images are astounding. It's the kind of film where you could take any frame and hang it on your wall. The three main actresses are stunning. Verdu in particular - man, can that woman wear some clothes! The actresses playing Carmen both have these amazing eyes. I was swept along and absolutely amazed.

Blancanieve (Snow White) is in every sense one of the best films of 2012. Coming directly in the footsteps of Oscar winner The Artist, this is another film that proves that Silent Film is not a derogatory term but rather leaves us to bring more not less of ourselves to what is a stunning film.Where Blacanieve triumphs is in its storytelling, its acting, and yes, its melodrama, which here works and makes us feel like we are really watching a Spanish film from the birth of Spanish cinema - the casting of the extras, and the attention to detail just adds to this sensation - and it really is a good watch from beginning to end.I used to watch films all the time, now I find most are so generic, uninspiring, and just plain dull, that I have almost lost the desire - but then you see a film like this and it restores your faith - a simply excellent film about love, passion, jealousy, and sadness.
