Faithful to the original is also destroyed in the details

This is a new fairy tale movie work related to "Snow White". It's quite innovative. It has made innocuous and ingenious changes to the too unrealistic parts of the original work, and sincerely presents the effect that a fairy tale adaptation can achieve to the extent of being faithful to the original work. Charlize Theron (Queen Ravenna) has an aura full of acting skills. The disadvantage is that I don't know whether this work is too ambitious, has too much to say but limited time, or whether it is a problem finally presented by the screenwriter and director, so that it is completely in-depth in character creation, character relationship and detail characterization, and it seems to be left and right.
Bai Xue's emotional sustenance, the hunter's emotional context, the heroic past of the dwarves, the difficult past of the evil queen and her younger brother... These are the plots that often whet the audience's appetite the most! Bai Xue's childhood sweetheart, William, has become a chicken rib to create a turning point. In order to show Bai Xue's true love, isn't this little noble? What is that kiss in the snowfield?
Until the end, there was no explanation as to which of the Hunter and William was Bai Xue's emotional destination. Did the screenwriter leave an open ending for the audience to guess, so as not to express Bai Xue's marriage partner and upset the audience who supported the other party? This kind of flattering behavior is actually confusing and resentful, in short, unpleasant.
In addition to the advantages of visual experience, the echoes and some small thoughts in the whole play are actually quite commendable, such as the apple that symbolizes the pure feelings of Bai Xue and William, and the fear of death, and has a certain self-reliance and self-improvement. The image of Snow White rescued by knights and men, the overall logically reasonable battle for kingship, the women's village that foiled the tyranny of the queen and disfigured herself... However, the uprising of the princess and the former dynasty's elders in the later period gave people reckless and careless feelings. Impulsive impression, very disillusioned.
It can be said that this is a work that is good in big logic, but is destroyed by detailed logic and lack of in-depth characterization.
In view of the fact that I prefer the film and television theme of fairy tales and novels, I will give it 3-4 stars selfishly.
