What's Going On With Snow White? An Interview With Ben Shapiro

I once heard Kurt Russell (IMO one of the great actors) talk about his "opinions" in an interview. He said that he believes that he should keep his personal opinions on things to himself. He said that he's an entertainer, and the moment he offers a personal position on real things, he is no longer entertaining the audience, and therefore no longer doing his job. I like that.

My girlfriend pointed out that Disney is discriminatory towards dwarf actors by not choosing to hire them in the first place, traditionally dwarf actors have a tough time in Hollywood since very few applicable roles ever come up and they’re usually for comedic reasons. Snow White is a rare case where it offers an underserved group the potential to make money doing something they love, acting. Disney’s current mantra seems to be selective inclusivity

[@xotube2206]

[@admirallily]

In Dinklage’s defense his hope seemed to be that those shouldn’t be the only roles for small people. Fair enough. But he messed up when he implied removing those roles all together as though that would force Hollywood into employing these actors in other standard roles regardless of height. He should’ve just kept pushing for casting in other roles while not removing these roles all together. But he seems to see no value in roles that only small people could fill. Which is kinda like telling McD’s to offer $20/hour and instead of them just giving everyone raises they give a few raises and replace the rest with machines. But in this case Hollywood does away with the problem all together using CGI on taller folks to fill the roles or using 100 cgi all together. And the unintended consequences is people have less jobs rather than more. It’s the same with harvesting good stories from history. Rather than finding good stories from all over the world to bring to light and give opportunity, they give people sloppy seconds which is as insulting as anything.

One of the reasons why Ben's very conservative family had annual passes to DisneyLand was because, once upon a time, Disney was very specific that they were wholesome and safe and cared about creating that sense of wonder and magic. Even for adults, Disney meant nostalgia and coziness.

[@redacted2275]

Walt Disney was a Democrat turned Republican... things started to change at Disney after Walt died. Nothing can change my mind that this was on purpose with the approval of the Disney family.

[@tubetorpedo]

@@redacted2275 That is how things usually change. Look at Tolkien estate. Tolkien's son was very careful to respect his fathers stories and legacy, he grew beside it, after he died the grandkids seem to have quite different view about the whole thing. Which seems to be quite often the case with generational things, one generation creates things and later generations then do not respect the legacy that much because they were never part of actually creating it, they just get it handed over.

​@@TheWraith7It's not supposed to be the solution to Disney's woke leftwing nonsense. It's to give the people who love and appreciate classic Disney films a chance to see a movie that stays true to the original story and Walt Disney's value set. The only solution to save Disney from wokeness is to fire every single far left, insanity peddler in charge. Until that happens, Disney will have to continue self imploding from their own bad decisions until the entire empire falls. Hopefully, there's enough left afterwards to rebuild while adhering to the values that Walt Disney insisted on from the beginning and that made Disney into the giant it became.

[@osmanyousif7849]

I think because they mostly tried to focus on theme instead of story. Most movies seem to forget that if you want to tell a story about faith, establish how a character goes through that, while showing the struggle to get there. As most movies usually have these issues resolved quite quickly, instead of giving the time to process a character’s ability to believe.

[@coconutcore]

@@uploadinstuff Oh no...I'm sorry, but you're showing exactly what I'm saying. I'm not expecting to convince you here, but I want to make this clear: Drinker doesn't like Shapiro. He doesn't approve of many things Shapiro has said in the past. He doesn't agree with Shapiro. He agrees on this movie as long as it's not pushing Shapiro's political views. If Drinker was gay, trans, black, a woman, all of the above, the same should still apply in the context. Even if the subject was politics, the person who speaks from reason like an adult in stead of being annoying, purposefully provocative (like Shapiro often acts, yes), or angry, should be the one who comes out looking trustworthy in their opinions, because that's how it really does work. The people who speak from reason rather than emotion or malice, the people who can face the fact that others disagree with them without an outburst of hatred, and the person who don't need to impose their views by being loud is usually the one who's basing their opinions on reality in stead of their own tunnel-visioned wants. That doesn't even mean that everyone who's thinking healthily on a subject agrees on the subject, it means everyone who's thinking healthily on a subject understands that even thinking the exact opposite can often come from the same want to better the world, just based on different experiences. In this case it's different though, what the original commenter is saying is that Drinker doesn't like all of Shapiro's political views, but they've both maturely agreed to keep the politics out of it. Read the description if you thought he agrees with Shapiro on everything outside of this movie. He doesn't. That's just not what this interview is about.

[@uploadinstuff]

​@@coconutcore But my point is its easy to be logically detached when Shapiro is not attacking you every day. Eg if Shapiro went on his show every day and shat on the Critical Drinker every single day for multiple years, and had the actual power to influence society to not allow Critical Drinker to get married, to be in movies, to work in an office without being harassed, to not be able to buy food if the person selling him food didnt like his videos etc Do you think Drinker would be like laughing and smiling and promoting Shapiros new movie (that hasnt even come out yet... come on, maybe id buy he didnt support Shapiro if he waited to see it before promoting it)? Also this movie is a political statement. Drinkers statements that its all about respecting the material is nonsense when Brett Cooper has said in the past she doesnt like disney princesses and wasnt allowed to watch cartoons as a child.

They went on to essentially say everyone needs to accept trans and other sexual (and ADULT) issues or else they will be FORCED to. I want to have children someday and hearing this conversation at the table next to me by the owners of a business I frequented and imagined bringing my future kids into TERRIFIED me. The insane level of hatred and intolerance was nuts. I am so tired of everything being politicized into propaganda and force fed to CHILDREN. I loved and treasured my childhood and am so thankful it was like 90% free of premature exposure to explicit adult topics, themes, language, etc! And that is what I want my future kids to experience, a carefree childhood as much as within my power!

I do not always agree with Ben.

I'd argue not changing stories and instead telling them in their original form is inherently conservative.

[@JustTooDamnHonest]

@@frankspeakmore7104 Hollywood also protected them from very vile things that they committed behind closed doors(Harvey Weinstein, Jeffery Epstein and many more) and when the veil came up that is when we say a lot of rot there.

Great interview! And I'm so excited to see how well Brett does as Snow White! Ben's take on the 'movie star' is spot on, and the example he gave of Tom Cruise is so accurate. Along those lines, Christopher Lloyd is the ideal movie star. He's talented, he can play a variety of roles, and he apparently vanishes like Zorro until he's needed to do his job again. And the best part is that he gets to keep his private life private and we can admire the hell out of him for his mad skills. Same with Val Kilmer who really is an amazing actor too who is barely heard from until he is in another project. Or he has bad health news come out.

[@toycamera6112]

As a filmmaker, it really disappoints me to see what Disney is doing with Snow White, especially since the story is so symbolically loaded. I would actually consider the story of Snow White one of my foundational creative models. Snow White's mother drops blood on snow and soon after dies in order to give birth. So from the opening image, purity, life, and death are all inextricably connected by the relationship between blood and snow. Even an innocent girl can't avoid the blood of life (menstruation) or the blood of death. I'm definitely tickled by the appropriation of Christian symbolism and the Jesus paradigm. Though death and rebirth we now know is a fairly universal human paradigm. Fairy tales are pure abstractions. Snow is born of an archetypical holy mother and persecuted by a shadow mother. In Jungian terms, the evil queen would be the future shadow aspect of Snow White, unless Snow White experiences the proper journey. Plus the queen is augmented by a shadow version of the all seeing eye (like Sauron) in the form of a magic mirror. Snow White descends into chaos/nature as symbolized by the forbidden forest. In archetypical terms you could say she descends into a pure feminine sphere and needs the wisdom of the Wise Old Man archetype (split into a Biblical seven) to offer her proper guidance. She has to become a sort of mother to the dwarves before she can become a mother to her nation. The humility she gains from taking care of them helps buoy her against becoming the shadow of her future archetype. Once the evil queen discovers Snow is alive, she disguises herself as a hag, which also brings forth interesting archetypical layers. The shadow of the mother clings to the vitality of the maiden and in the process accelerates her evolution into the shadow of the crone. She hunts Snow down and fells her three times: once with a magic comb, once with a sash, and once with a poison apple. In essence she fells Snow with the feminine sins of vanity and lust/forbidden knowledge. Snow White is then placed inside a glass coffin, an anatomically suggestive bed, which furthers the story's sexual symbolism. Finally a prince arrives and seals Snow White’s lust inside a marital kiss. The animus balances the anima and lifts it out of the feminine chaos of death. With the archetypical balancing complete, the two ride off into eternity.

Didn't Snow White wake up because the dwarces dropped the coffin though? At least in the Grimm Version she doesn't wake up from the kiss but because the piece of apple lodged in her throat tumbled out when she got dropped because the dwarves argued with the prince that demanded "their" Snow White's body, the coffin slipping during the argument. But I do love how you explained all the motives! I never noticed some of the symbolisms and how they tie into christian symbolism/beliefs. Does the huntsman that spares her life and deceives the evil queen with a boars heart and liver also represent a special trope or symbolism too? Or am I overthinking it?

[@toycamera6112]

@@iraramirez9029 I'd say it's representative. I mean the queen wants to eat Snow White's heart; she essentially wants to devour the essence of the maiden who is 'fairest in the land'. On the coffin thing, it's tough to kind of lock the story down to 'A' single canon version because by nature as a fairy tale its been spread around so much. For example in the Grimm version I have, it's the prince's servants who jostle the coffin. But because the kiss element features in so many adaptations and versions, it's part of the myth 'enough' that I feel comfortable talking about it as part of the symbol web. And I praise it as a symbolic element for how it connects with the context of the apple. ^^

Crazy! It's like I was 8 to 12 years old...Oh yeah! I was at the time...and then I...matured into an adult. Some crap must have got in the water about 15 years back and stopped brain development passed that point, cuz there aint no damn excuse for these modern midwits in their 30's and 40's with supposedly professional writing jobs acting like GATdayum children who soiled themselves and need nappy naps cuz they are poopy, sleepy and cranky. LMAO They can't logically refute criticism and argue their position intelligently so they just cry "WAAAAYYYYCISSSST WAAAAAYYYYYYCISSSSST..." Come here 40 year old NY Times writer, time for your bah-bah and butt-wiping. No shame. The leader of the modern free world you voted for has it done on the daily too, cuz you are a big boi, just wike the prezi-prezidents!!! LOL

Totally agree with Ben. I grew up as a Disney fan. My family lived in Orlando. I decorated my dorm room in Disney princesses. Now I refuse to buy anything Disney themed and won’t subscribe to Disney +. It hurts my heart to see how they have taken the magic out of our childhoods. Disney is no longer magical in their desperate attempt to depict their idea of realism. I don’t want my kids exposed to their nonsense. They get no money from my family any more, but Daily Wire will!

Interestingly these two personalities mesh nicely. Both knowledgeable, smart, opinionated and respectful, but from different worlds and backgrounds. Makes for an interesting conversation. Drinker and Ben should really consider doing their own movie review podcast. Shapiro and Drinker

[@bobroberts2581]

I signed up for a year of DW+ to show support for them making an Alternative instead of just whinging about it, especially after hearing Bret sing in the trailer. Getting a new Arthurian story out of it ti make up for Snow White/Evil Queen being potentially pushed back seemed like a win. I’d love to see DW (truly, any company) take a chunk out of Disney’s box office take.

[@donfisherjr.2404]

Great interview! I loved hearing the Drinker and Ben Shapiro chat about movies. I hope this format of one-on-one interviews becomes a regular feature on this channel.

[@TheKitty1952]

Best wishes on the launch of your classic "Snow White" production. The Disney Corporation has turned into a tribe of iconoclasts, pulling down any hero's or ideals once worshiped and constructing any idiotic piece of nonsense to take its place. You cannot easily dispose of Myths and Legends that have formed the backbone of our culture without expecting a slap on the fanny.

[@Beachgirl6790]

Great interview! Lots of very strong points made about how movie goers are looking for something Hollywood isn’t making. We will go where good movies are being made!

[@Simon-xc5oy]

What a guy! What a really nice sensible bloke!!! So here he is, talking to a fantastic you tuber and answering the questions that everyone wants answered! And supporting the original story! And listening to what people want and then going and making that very thing and giving us a proper Snow White in live action! And not slagging it off! Which means that I will see his film! I am not a huge fan of Snow White, but it is a classic. And anyone who supports that , and listens to people and engages like this, gets my support. And I bet it will be a better film than anything Disney have done in the last ten years as well.....

"Shout out to my business partners Caleb Robinson and Jeremy Boring, who are really the guys doing the hard work, I just get to come out and talk about it." Imagine that, a company lead that doesn't try to take all the credit for themselves. Kinda funny when I think back to all them Apple conventions.

[@vdoggydogg3922]

He told a story where he and Jeremy Boring thought Jeremy was going to be the face of the company and then Ben did his interview with Piers Morgan that blew up. They right away decided that Ben is the face and Jeremy would be the business guy.

So is Ben going to reveal the world that he is the main actress in Snow White? Finally we can explain why we have never seen Shapiro and Brett Cooper in the same room together

I've always assumed Drinker was UK-based and given the framing of the camera I did catch myself wondering a couple of times early on if the set was digital.

[@MrX-zz2vk]

Maybe Drinker can interview Brett Cooper in the not too distant future. Maybe around the time the film releases or even offers Jeremy Boreing some feedback & consulting or something. That would be better.

[@rickguillen2016]

As a Daily Wire subscriber, huge Ben Shapiro fan, this interview is such a welcome suprise!

[@misugita]

Kevin Feige wishes he could get an interview with Drinker. The bottom line for me is the movie needs to be good. It doesn't need to be the most astounding masterpiece in cinematic history, but it has to be good. If it is, I'll watch it. If it is not good, then even if I appreciate the effort to make an apolitical version of a popular fairy tale, I won't reward a failed effort with my money. I'm excited for CD to do a candid review of the film where he pulls no punches. Regardless, I wish the filmmakers the best of luck.

[@justaregulargamer1860]

It's encouraging to see a studio go back and enforce the wholesome nature of the original character. The Disney movies of old encouraged and imo helped parents to instill positive values in their children and created a safe environment for them to be entertained whilst maintaining a high quality. This is new version from The Daily Wire is looking most welcome.

[@SliderFury1]

They could be switching it up with Wish. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they depict this "empowered female" character granting everyone's wishes as being disastrous. I think a lot of people still don't realize that they did this with Frozen. Elsa abandons her kingdom to go do what she wants and be a "strong independent woman" and it seems like they're presenting that as a positive message at first. But then her sister points out that her entire kingdom is literally about to be wiped out due to her (Elsa's) selfishness, so she comes back, takes up her crown, and reengages with her responsibilities, even though it's not exactly what she wants. I could see them doing this with Wish.

[@mimah1015]

Uhh I don't know what Frozen movie you saw there buddy but she did not "come back". Infact she never planned to and she literally threw her sister out of her castle after accidentally hurting her. She was dragged back unconscious and only stayed because she was no longer afraid of herself. But even that didn't last because in the sequel she got to be free like she originally wanted, leaving her sister behind to rule the kingdom as she frolicked around with magical creatures forever. I'm happy that she did and I love her character. Don't say what isn't true.
