Disney's Snow White 2025

“That's why we fight in your father's name, your parents were brave.”

“Because a hand needs a hand”

.”It might have everything to do with you “

“"I remember, do you?”

“"Where The good things grow.”
-Disney's Snow White 2025

     I don't want to mince words here. Disney's live-action reimagining of their 1937 animated classic is extraordinary. Snow White has never been more enchanting as she is in this film. From its painterly use of CGI to its meaningful parental thematic core I don't think it's hyperbolic to say that this is the best movie I've seen so far this year.
This film is a storybook come to life. In short it is the embodiment of the Disney ethos with no self-important pride or saccharine overindulgence. It is classic Disney magic through and through. Its visuals enchant and its songs embed themselves in your ears with joyful wonder and meaningful thematic residence.
As you can probably tell Disney's live-action Snow White has rocketed past my expectations, reminding me to never judge a book by its news tainted cover. It seems to me that so much care and love has gone into the production of this film, that it would be a disservice to all involved to not be granted its well-deserved accolades. Director Marc Webb and his team have granted us a charm filled wonder of a film. One that is built on the love of a father for his daughter. With his desire to show her that true beauty is found within, "Where the good things grow."

Rated PG for violence, some peril, thematic elements and brief rude humor

I found Disney's live-action reimagining of Snow White to be endlessly charming, visually enthralling. and deeply meaningful. I hope in some way you do too.

Disney's live-action Snow White is currently in theaters.

Who Made Man's Mouth: Recontextualizing Disability as an Ordinary, Every Day, Purpose Driven Life

Michelangelo's Moses c.1513-1515 Who Made Man's Mouth:   Recontextualizing Disability as an Ordinary, Every Day, Purpose Driven Life     "I want to live in a world where we value genuine achievement for disabled people, and I want to live in a world where a kid in year 11 at a Melbourne high school is not one bit surprised that his new teacher is a wheelchair user. Disability does not make you exceptional, but questioning what you think you know about it does." -Stella Young, TEDxSidney 2014      When you realize that perhaps you've been misunderstanding a core tenant of  yourself for a better part of your life, you begin to deconstruct the factors that brought you to that realization. Now, before we start this journey I want to say that I am not a theologian nor am I trying to be one. This endeavor is as much a journey of discovery for me as it is for you. It is a recontextualization of ...

My Top 5 Films of 2024

5.  Twisters 2024 “Nature's masterpiece.” If you feel it, chase it” “You don't face your fears you ride them” All right, I'll just say it, Twisters is an exhilarating experience. It is one of the most well orchestrated summer blockbusters that I have seen in years. Yet, it is also a film that never forgets the vehicles of utter power and destruction that it illustrates on-screen. Perhaps that is the film's strength: it is able, in a real tangible way, to convey these acts of God with respect and reverence for their awesome power. It does this, without losing, for one second the thrill and wonder of the chase. Twisters is a roller coaster ride in the best sense of the phrase. It has heart, meaning and poignancy in every inch of its special effects filled plunge, into the thrills and difficulties of storm chasing. On that note it is a movie that uses all of the available filmic and auditory tools to the greatest effect. At least to my ears Twisters is an exh...

Me Before You: A Monk, A King and A Disabled Metaphor Fallacy

  Me Before You: A Monk, A King and A Disabled Metaphor Fallacy “I know this can be a good life, but it's not my life, it's not even close. you never saw me before, I loved my life. I really loved it. I can't be the kind of man that just accepts this.” “You're not giving it a chance. You're not giving me a chance.” “I don't want you to miss all the things someone else can give you.” -Me Before You, 2016 There is a deeply warranted sentiment in the disability community to not give Me Before You anywhere near the time of day. I couldn't agree more. This film, and the novel it's based on, severely misrepresent disability in all its varied forms. Crafting a story housed in the belief that life is only worth our physical prowess and selfish desires. Me Before You is ableism at Its most tyrannical and suffocating. It seems as if our world wants disability to vanish into oblivion, and Me Before You prolongs that horrific stereotype, with no care for its end....
