Were you bothered that they changed it up with the 'poisoned apple' bit?


Instead of Snow White eating the poisoned apple, it's the Queen/Hag. For me, I respect them for doing that but also hate that they did that. I wanted to see Snow White in a glass coffin and get awoken by the Prince, but I like that they did something that wasn't too predictable.

There is nothing wrong with the original story that we are all familiar with, but they obviously wanted to do something quite different and for me it worked. I enjoyed the "alternate" story, it was refreshing to see a different take on the story.

Did she actually eat it?

That scene made the whole movie for me! Snow is not longer the sumise, helpless little girl she was at the beginning of her journey; she is the hero of her own story and doesn't need to be saved. I think the twist, acknowledging her growth, was brilliant.

And we don't actually get to see the Queen eating the apple. I think the exchange was there just to show her accepting Snow's victory.

I hated the apple scene in both Mirror Mirror and SWATH. In Mirror Mirror it came off as fake and a pathetic attempt to be cool and pit a twist on the story, but it didn't work for me.

I thought the apple twist was one of the few things worthwhile about the film.

I thought it was a GREAT twist.

I guess one of the reasons they did that is because the movie was over? I mean it felt like if they added the glass coffin it would have been too much? I Didn't like the twist but I felt that the movie was pretty much over so there was no need to have Snow white fainting. You couldn't have 2 happy endings that would be too much.

I'll look down, and whisper no

It was also good that she broke the curse on the Prince with a kiss and not the other way around. It's her tale after all. :)

I thought it was cute. I went "aww how cute" nice twist however, if they figured that adding that twist in order to have another dealing with the King... well that wasn't very smart because that twist with the king was just silly. I would have preferred the original thing with Snow White being kissed and all of that instead of back to back twists.
