Rachel Zegler 'Finally Speaks Out' on The Failure of 'Snow White'. Surprise Reveal: It's Your Fault

Once upon a time Hollywood made movies that they hoped enough people wanted to see so that the film would turn a profit. To help insure the movie's success the release would be accompanied by a large marketing push. There would be previews shown on TV, fast-food restaurants would have promotional tie-ins, a big name band would write a song for the soundtrack and the stars would go on press junkets talking up the wonderful experience the audience would have.

Somewhere along the line, they switched tactics and started making movies for themselves complete with self-inserts and important messages of representation. Beloved franchises were repurposed for 'lifting marginalized voices' and the marketing became outright antagonistic. It's as if you were being dared to dislike their product at the risk of being labeled phobic, something-ist or, at the very worst, a Boomer.

Which brings us to the Hiroshima of the woke movie era: 'Snow White'. It had every reason to rightfully bomb: hostility towards the source material, clumsy swapping of a romantic love theme for female empowerment, intentionally provocative race swapping and, sigh, Rachel Zegler.

We're not sure if the poor girl was prepped to have an antagonistic attitude or if she's just naturally that way, but it gasoline on the dumpster fire. Among her greatest hits, she dissed the original 1937 movie, ranted at Trump voters and spewed 'Free Palestine' likely as a veiled shot at her Israeli co-star, Gal Gadot.

The final, pitiful phase in this saga is, of course, the inevitable revisionism by the Hollywood press.

Nope, it wasn't Disney, nor or the marketing, it was just the 'racialized right wing backlash'. Sorry, Hollywood, this disaster is one hundred percent of your own making and quite intentionally, we might add.

Now, let's get to Zegler herself.

To put it succinctly ...

... and straight to the point.

Hush, we're creating a narrative here.

This is one sure-fire way to guarantee you'll learn nothing.

True story.

Ever the optimists, we do hope that Disney and Hollywood have learned valuable lessons. But if not, at least we have years of great content head of us.
