Snow White

This past Friday I went and saw Snow White and the Huntsman.  It was a pretty good movie and I think it tied in well with what we talked about on Wednesday in class, about beauty and how much value people put on it.  Everyone knows the story of Snow White and how the evil queen is so obsessed with being the most beautiful person in the land.  In the movie even when the queen is the fairest in all the land she is never happy.  She still continually worries that someone will take away her beauty.  On the other hand in the film Snow White's mother stresses to her before she dies that it is Snow White's heart that makes her beautiful, even more than her looks.  Outward beauty is subjective and fleeting but true beauty is deeper, and the movie did a decent job of making that point.
