How sad is this?

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

first, for the atmosphere. then, for the performances. not the last, for the reinvent of a classic fairy tale in pure Spanish clothes. a seductive film about family, values, courage and survive. about love and friendship and legacy. great for the references to history and for the wise use of mute film tools. for the great cinematography. and, sure, for the chain of states, mix of Dickens and legendary "toreadores". a film real special. tender, bitter, nice, touching, unique. a challenge. a precious one.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like recent Hollywood films "Mirror Mirror"(2012) and "Snow White and the Huntsman"(2012), the movie tells us a variation of Snow White tale, and it is more refreshing and creative compared to other two films, which were not so terrible but flawed despite their respective good aspects. While retaining several elements in the original story such as that infamous poisoned apple, the movie incorporates new elements including bullfighting(no kidding) and other interesting things into its story, and it is entertaining to watch how it decorates the story with its own flavor while staying true to the light and darkness of its inspiration.At the beginning, we are introduced to Antonio Villalta(Daniel Giménez Cacho), a bullfighter at the top of his profession – or the king of his profession, shall we say. We see him confidently handling five wild bulls one by one while his lovely pregnant wife Carmen(Inma Cuesta) and other audiences in the arena are grasped by the suspense and thrill on the field, and now he is going to confront the last and toughest one, which will be the grand finale for this event.Unfortunately, to everyone's horror, it goes terribly wrong for Antonio. While he barely survives, his body becomes permanently paralyzed by his severe injury, and, to make the matter worse, his shocked wife dies as giving an early birth to their daughter Carmen shortly after her husband's accident. Devastated by this news, Antonio becomes morose and isolated while not caring much about his infant daughter, who is eventually taken care of by her grandmother.And that is where nefarious Encarna(Maribel Verdú) comes into the picture as, well, the wicked stepmother. She initially comes to Antonio as one of the nurses at the hospital, and, as soon as she learns that he is rich and alone, she quickly works on him, and it does not take much time for her to become his personal nurse – and then his second wife. Not so surprisingly, she puts her husband into more misery while doing whatever she wants at his vast mansion, and the movie tickles us with the humorously perverted moments associated with Encarna's sadomasochistic side.Young Carmen, played by amiably innocent Sofía Oria, has been away from her stepmother's evil influence while growing up under her grandmother's care, but, after the grandmother suddenly dies, she has no choice but to be sent to his father's mansion. Encarna certainly does not welcome her stepdaughter right from their first encounter; she greets Carmen with the hostile and sinister manner not that different from that of Mrs. Danvers in Alfred Hitchcock's "Rebecca"(1940), and then she immediately sends Carmen down to a dirty basement room. That is just the beginning of her many vicious treatments of Carmen, and Maribel Verdú clearly relishes her juicy villainous role in the film – especially during that deliciously horrible moment involved with Pepe, Carmen's feisty pet rooster.In spite of all the hardship and cruelty inflicted upon her, Carmen never loses her bright, lively personality while having a brief but touching moment of reconnecting with her withered father, who saw the potential inside her and taught her some valuable things about bullfighting. Not long after he dies, Encarna tries to kill Carmen, who now becomes a young lady after several years, but her bumbling servant/driver/sex slave Genaro(Pere Ponce) fails to kill Carmen, and she is saved by a traveling troupe of dwarfs(they are six, not seven, by the way). Although she lost her memory when she was almost killed by Genaro, she soon shows her bullfighting skill to impress the dwarfs and others, and her popularity as "Blancanieves"(it means "Snow White" in Spanish) quickly rises while our bitchy stepmother is infuriated to learn that the girl is still alive.The story itself is an engaging fairy tale with humor and heart, and the director/writer Pablo Berger effectively presents it through the painstaking recreation of the ambiance of the silent films during the 1920s. Compared to Oscar-winning silent film "The Artist"(2011), which cheerfully danced on the thin line between loving tribute and playful parody, the movie is a little more serious in its approach; its performances and technical aspects are mostly feel authentic, and only sound we hear on the soundtrack is the terrific score by Alfonso de Vilallonga, which fluidly flows around grand orchestral gestures and exciting dance music while coloring the black and white screen of 1.33:1 Academy ratio with various moods and feelings.Some people may think silent films are merely artifacts to be studied by film scholars, but good silent films can transcend time and languages to reach to the contemporary audiences, and "Blancanieves" reminds us of their timeless power through its sincere homage. The movie also remains true to the dark, twisted spirit of the Brothers Grim tales, and the ending after its grand fateful finale is a rare moment which simultaneously feels sad, romantic, perverted, and, above all, poignant. After all, didn't someone say that perverts are sometimes much more romantic than us?
