I've only seen her in 2 things: R+J and WSS. I loved her in WSS, but thought she out of her league in this.

Based on that, she isn't a "name" that would either KEEP me from seeing a show nor have me rush TO see it."



Perhaps.

But sometimes people bring things on themselves unnecessarily. Regardless of their age. And IMO that's what she did.

Disney cast her as Snow White. Great. Good on her.

Next thing we know she's calling it old-fashioned, calling out the prince as a stalker and a creep. Or some similar nonsense. Trying to impose some feminist critique to the movie she's calling outdated. All this over a movie based on a well-establihed animated feature.

I saw another video posted where she's at a Disney park pointing at a Snow White ride and yelling, that's me, I'm going to be Snow White.

To the latter, that's fine. Whatever.

But to make some silly social commentary on an animated feature. If it's that offensive to you, turn the role down and go create your own animated features where the "princesses" all kick ass. And don't need a man.

Trying to make something deep or thought-provoking out of nothing is inevitably going to get you called out by some.

I didn't see WSS because the original is enough for me. I didn't need a remake on a classic.

I had to look her up to see what all the discussions were about.

The Rachel Zegler hate is so forced and tired at this point. The world is hard on ambitious girls.

You REALLY should see the remake. I think it is one of the absolute greatest movie musicals ever, and I enjoyed it so much more than the original. I am not saying that it is better (I do think it is), but that it is a great re-interpretation of the work, and is not just a redo. The Rita Moreno role / performance alone enriches it so much and the Officer Krupke number is just so clever. One Hand / One Heart is perfect. All were very different from the original.

David Alvarez was IMO far superior to Chakiris, and Faust was at least as good as Russ Tamblyn.
I thought that Zegler was terrific and I really do t understand the hate…maybe the haters feel she had it too easy. She is a young woman who has talent and great potential to grow.
