Rachel Zegler Teases Hunger Games Prequel and FANGIRLS Over Jennifer Lawrence (Exclusive) 

I think the statement in itself was very original and I can't see why some people are eating her alive. It's not her fault that your life sucks, your children hate you and your partner is cheating

She just another rich persons daughter. But they’ll tell you how she went through some struggle and somehow became a multimillionaire at the age of 14 because of her superior intelligence…

Agree!!

​@@HelloThere156shes not from a rich family though. She worked as a wedding & funeral singer before she was an actress

she's just the right kind of diverse....

I can only assume she's confused and misremembering the prince and the huntsman as the same character.

Where did she say wanting love was bad?

@@JTUntamed She's said they've ''modernized'' the story so Snow White no longer wants love or is motivated by that but to instead become a leader. The Prince wanting her is stalkerish etc.

@@darkwoods1954 that still doesn’t answer my question which was where did she say it was bad. It sounds to me like yall are putting words in her mouth

@@JTUntamed The way she says it, her inflection and facial expressions as she says it all indicate that she thinks being motivated by love would be a negative thing and it's far better it's ''modernized'' for her to instead only care about being a powerful leader. Can't you read body language when people talk? it comes across pretty obvious in the interviews where she mentions it.

She obviously never had an emotional connection to the character and diced to inflict her smug obnoxious self into a wonderful love story. Live the sword , die by the sword.

Weird. Weird.

Very evidently so . . .

She has no idea at all.

@@andsands3601get over it crybaby

She's stuck between what her publicist taught her to say and what social media taught her to say. None of it is her own thoughts and ideas.

exactly! It’s like she doesn’t even appreciate just the sheer impact the original movie had and she just dismisses it as “outdated and evidently so”

I think people, especially Boomers, are just terrible at interpreting Gen Z tones. I don't see anything of narcissism or lack of humility in her utterances, it's just a way of expressing that's different from the norm - appearing at first glance to be egocentric, it's more just an expression of confidence and being in vogue rather than an unwillingness to listen to others. Truth be told I think this manner of speaking only frustrates older generations with extremely sensitive egos that can't stand someone that is both young and what they see as overly confident marching into the scene and defying norms and traditions. Many of us are looking at it and thinking it's awesome to see the difference and something new.

@@VesperAegis I don’t age is a factor here. She is confident which is great but she comes off as condescending as if the original is an inferior product as opposed to saying that they want to expand upon a different aspect of the character. She is just not expressing that, her tone and confidence is coming off as arrogance and obnoxious. Which is a shame because I do think she’s a good actress

@@Arroyo2099I don't see it as "the original is inferior," but I do think it's a general truism that ideas and concepts and culture fade over time. Maybe Shakespeare doesn't go away, but there are themes and ideas that get old enough where we reasonably poke at them - not condescending to say that we adapt over time, and that even our current works will one day be outmoded completely.

@@VesperAegis Oh i totally agree unfortunately Rachel is not getting that point across. The impression she is giving is of arrogance and judgment regarding the source material. I think a great example of a film that is doing what she is trying to go for is the Cinderella remake "Ever After". I wish more of those fairy tale remakes were more like that. Although I could have done without the Leanardo Davinci part of that movie.

I think people will look for any excuse to hate. You're analysing her...tone. She's excited, she was just announced as a Disney princess like you people are so sad.

😂😂😂😂😂

You forgot Amber Heard.... Edit: And Phoebe Waller Bridge.....

@@osmanyousif7849 She does not work for Disney. But they way she treated Johnny Depp it sounds like she should.

Bro is making 2017 memes in 2023

Saying things are "sooo 2000---" is so 90s valley girl. Trends are human stupidity, internet is forever.

It's Hollywood baby 👍🏼

Yep. Milking every opportunity they can.

"Snow Woke and the 7 They/Them" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Perhaps the evil Emperor Woke from "The Last Jedi" will save them!

@@theultimatereductionist7592 🤣🤣🤣…don’t think anything can save them ! You live by the woke sword , you die by the woke sword ⚔️😉

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I think modern feminists want the same thing for both men and women too: enjoying life being single, without stress from relationship, and enjoying their own hard-earned money for themselves. The problem is extreme feminists but extreme movements are in every social movement and they represent a minority, a very LOUD minority but still a minority.

@creepycrawler2140 you need glasses

@@alexdelaloire8739 no, there's nothing in the feminist handbook thay says it wants good things for men.

@@Yjn75 Then you don't know what feminism is

@@alexdelaloire8739 feminists don't know what feminism is then if that's what you're saying.

She's a real team player.

It’s there around 1:17 - I was looking for that too. Arguably the most offensive thing in this interview is implying that your costar’s role is so insignificant that they may cut all of his scenes. Imagine a young man saying that about a female costar…

YOU HATERS ARE WERID AF!

Not yet but… I KNOW in a few years it’s coming!! 🥰🥰

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

😅😂😂😂😂

Very good reasons to sneak in right. Not at all worrying, unless he was just a random guy and not a prince.

😂

So the interviewer can get an interview.

@@345mrse Tu Che😄.

you deaf?

​@@ND-OPSare you Disney had a song from The Cheetah girls saying the same thing she did. Where is the backlash for that song

@@loganlablanc1343tf is the cheetah girls

Funny to who? Just you ? You’re born after 2005, don’t talk

THE HATERS ARE DUMB!

WTF She's a brat

Is that you, Rachel? Go home and take that woke liberal elsewhere

I would like to know what “problematic aspects” you’re seeing in these old classics. Sure, they’re not perfect. But as these remakes are “attempting” to “correct” these weak points, they actually insert modern mainstream propaganda and turn a simple story with a message into an undermining mess instead of letting a story breathe and come alive. I don’t see anything of the original Snow White being problematic. She is a kind and beautiful princess who is envied by her step-mother. The “fairest” of the land isn’t because Snow White is the most beautiful. It’s literally because her beauty is found within. Her character, her kindness, her willingness to change and show compassion to others when they don't deserve it IS what makes her beautiful. She’s a young girl dreaming of true love and a prince. And her dream comes true. It’s a classic fairytale for crying out loud! It’s THE fairytale that began this stereotype of girls dreaming of a prince and true love. Snow White never wanted to be a leader. She didn’t dismiss or think the prince was “stalking” her. In the original, the Prince joins in song with her. She is frightened at first but realizes that he is her true love. This wasn't a one-sided relationship. It was two people discovering each other and celebrating it through song. So yes, I completely understand why people are upset because the actress of this modern take of Snow White does not understand the dignity and gravitas of the original classic 1937 tale and its impact not only in the film industry but storytelling in general. Zegler dismisses it as “outdated” and “weird”, when this movie’s themes and message could not be more relevant and relatable today. We need to be kind to those around us even those who hate us. That’s true beauty.

Well said!!

@@annabellesky Don’t get me wrong, this remake is probably going to be not very good, but at least it’s a story worth remaking by correcting the clumsiest aspects. Yes, Snow White the original movie has a great outline of a story, with very colourful animation which becomes frightening from times to times, and the songs are amazing (despite some of the lyrics). So I can understand why people are upset that she criticises their movie. But you can’t blame a 21th century woman not to be in love with a movie where the princess get married to a prince she met for 1 minute and a half. I don’t consider it to be very problematic but more of a standard of an old age not accurate anymore. But I don’t get why everyone is shocked by this when the remakes that blew up at the box office are the ones who took into account the critics of internet (“Belle isn’t progressive enough ? Okay so now we make her teach another girl to read, and we make her invent the washing machine !”)

No, I don't blame her. We all enjoy watching a romance story develop instead of a romance story that's 2 minutes long. However, the issue I have is the way Zegler handled the comparison of the old classic to the new modern take. She handles it with disrespect by calling it "outdated" which is "evidently so". She could have explained that the original had classic fairytale hallmarks in it, but this modern take takes a spin on the classic tale. Instead of dreaming of true love, Snow White wants to push the boundaries of what young girls are capable of doing vs what they "should be" doing. Her attitude toward the original movie is akin to that of bratty smug teenager looking at a pager from the early 90s and saying how its absolutely boring and outdating and not necessary since we don't live in that era anymore. I'm not asking for Zegler to worship the original and sing its praises but at least have some respect when talking about it for it IS the reason why you have this role. Without the precedented original story, she wouldn't never had this role in the first place. Heck, without that story, Disney would not have even existed. The whole "re-inventing Disney princesses with progressive ideals" is a different story in my opinion and I would personally rather have Disney invent new stories instead of rehashing these old ones but updating it for a modern audience.

The video literally answers your question
