Snow White and the Huntsman



"Lips red as blood. Hair black as night. Bring me your heart, my dear, dear Snow White."

Snow White & the Huntsman is an action fantasy film based on the Snow White fairytale. It stars Kristen Stewart as Snow White herself, with Chris Hemsworth as the Huntsman, and Charlize Theron as the Queen (named Ravenna).

In a land ruled by tyranny, the Vain Sorceress and selfish Queen Ravenna learns that her stepdaughter, Snow White, is destined to surpass her not only as the "Fairest One of All" but also as the kingdom's future ruler. But then the Queen learns from her Magic Mirror that the only way to remain in power is to consume Snow White's heart and achieve immortality. Snow White escapes into the Dark Forest and Ravenna recruits the Huntsman Eric to find and kill Snow White. Eric, however, takes pity on the young princess and teaches Snow White the art of war. Now, with the aid of eight dwarves and the duke's son William (Sam Claflin), Snow White begins a rebellion to bring down her stepmother once and for all.

Snow White & the Huntsman exhibits the following tropes:
"Huntsman: You're very fetching in mail."
 * Action Dress Rip: The Huntsman rips Snow White's dress so she can move through the forest easily.
 * Action Girl: Snow White.
 * Adaptational Badass: Snow White. Also the Huntsman, and William, who is closest in the movie to the traditional prince role.
 * Adaptation Expansion
 * After-Action Patchup: The Huntsman gets a gash below his collarbone after fighting the troll. A woman from the village he and Snow White stay the night at patches him up and we get a shot of Chris Hemsworth's abs.
 * The Ageless: Ravenna has apparently "lived twenty lives", but still appears to be relatively young-looking.
 * The Alcoholic: The Huntsman is introduced as one, but he stops drinking soon after meeting Snow White.
 * All Trolls Are Different
 * Arc Symbol: The three drops of blood.
 * An Axe to Grind: A large axe is the Huntsman's weapon of choice. The dwarves fight with much smaller pickaxes.
 * The Archer: William.
 * Arrow Catch: William does this trick, and then fires it back along with one of his own to demonstrate his archery skill.
 * Arrows on Fire: Snow White awakens to one landing in near her head, and quickly realizes that Finn and his soldiers have tracked her down, and are setting fire to the village buildings. William also uses these at one point.
 * Ascended Extra: The Huntsman's role is much larger and more important than in the original fairy tale.
 * Attempted Rape: Finn tries to do this to Snow White in prison while she's lying on her bed. However, she strikes his face with a nail.
 * Awesome Moment of Crowning:
 * Back From the Dead
 * Back-to-Back Badasses: William and the Huntsman against an evil, magical flock of ravens.

 * Badass Damsel / Badass Princess: Snow White.
 * Badass in Distress: The Huntsman during his battle with the troll.
 * Bambification: Averted with the White Hart, who looks more regal and majestic than cutesy.
 * Beauty Equals Goodness: Played straight with Snow White, but inverted with Queen Ravenna, who was the Fairest of Them All and evil.
 * Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Deliberately averted by the village of women.  Snow White herself spends a good portion of the movie covered in dirt and grime, but it isn't treated as if it detracted from her beauty.
 * Even though he's covered in grunge, the Huntsman is still an insanely attractive fellow throughout the film.
 * Big Bad: Queen Ravenna.
 * Big Fancy Castle
 * Big No: Used twice. Once by Snow White when the troll is about to kill the Huntsman,
 * Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Ravenna first appears to the King as a fragile yet beautiful prisoner of war, and once she later gets engaged to the King, she is cordial to the young Snow White. However, the night of their wedding Ravenna coldly murders the King, imprisons Snow White, and usurps the kingdom.
 * Black Widow: Ravenna marries the king and kills him on their wedding night.
 * Blind Seer: Muir, the lead dwarf.
 * Blondes Are Evil/Blond Guys Are Evil: Queen Ravenna and her brother Finn. Ravenna deliberately plays up Hair of Gold when first introduced, though.

 * Blue Eyes: Chris Hemsworth, who play the Huntsman.
 * Book Ends: Snow White escapes from her prison by striking Finn in the face with a nail when he molests her.
 * Boring Return Journey: Justified in that when Snow White was leaving the castle, she was alone or with a small number of companions and she came back with an army, making it much easier to go where she wanted in safety.
 * Braids of Action: Snow White puts her long hair in a braid when she leads the Resistance against the Queen's kingdom.
 * Breast Plate: Averted. Snow White is shown wearing regular plate armor.
 * Good-Looking Privates: The Huntsman comments on how nice she looks in mail.

 * Chewing the Scenery: Charlize Theron really gets all the ham out of her system when Queen Ravenna demands that Snow White be brought to her after her initial escape.

 * Costume Porn: Queen Ravenna's many outfits.
 * Covered in Mud: The Huntsman when we are first introduced to him.
 * Creepy Step-Uncle: Finn likes to watch Snow when she's trapped in the castle.
 * Cry for the Devil: Ravenna, who was taken from her mother by her homeland's king. Not to mention that after, she starts crying.
 * Crystal Dragon Jesus: Played with. There is a lot of overt and undisguised Christian imagery in the movie, but in the end, the bishop that does it not in the name of God (as it would have been in a real-world medieval setting), but "in the name of everything good in the land".
 * Curb Stomp Battle:
 * Darker and Edgier/Grimmification: Exaggerated. The film is even darker than most of non-bowdlerized Grimm fairy tales.
 * Deadpan Snarker: The Huntsman definitely has his moments.
 * A couple of the dwarves are also pretty snarky too.
 * Death Glare: The Queen does this frequently.
 * Deceased Parents Are the Best: Snow White's parents both die a few minutes into the film.

"Ravenna: One of my prisoners has escaped there. Huntsman: Well then he's dead. Ravenna: She. Huntsman: She is certainly dead."
 * Don't Go in The Woods: The dark forest will kill you. It's just a matter of when. Even Ravenna won't go in there.

"Snow White: I'm everything you're not!"
 * The Drag Along: The Huntsman. A several stages of the story, he wants no part.
 * The Dragon: Finn.
 * Does double duty as the Mook Lieutenant early on.
 * Elite Mooks: Humanoid monsters made from fragments of broken glass.
 * Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Ravenna and Finn genuinely care about each other.
 * Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": The Huntsman. Even the credits don't list his real name (it's "Eric", apparently).
 * Every Thing Is Better With Princesses: It's still a fairy tale after all.
 * Evil Is Stylish: Ravenna, who was the movie's sole contributor to Costume Porn.
 * Evil Laugh: The Queen in many of the promos. One that's very bitter.
 * Evil Matriarch: The Queen is technically Snow's stepmother after all.
 * Evil Sorceress: The Queen.
 * Faceless Goons: The queen's warriors, whether they're magically conjured glass monsters or normal humans with dark helmets covering their faces.

 * Freudian Excuse: Ravenna's behavior is explained through a childhood flashback and the way a previous king treated her.
 * Friend to All Living Things/The Messiah: Snow White. As a child Snow White nursed a baby magpie back to health from a broken wing. When confronted by a hostile giant troll, Snow White screams at and stares at it sympathetically to diffuse the situation. The Sanctuary's deity, And even towards Queen Ravenna Snow White feels sorrow rather than hatred and rage towards her for her actions.
 * From Nobody to Nightmare:
 * Gender Bender:
 * Girl In the Iron Prison/GirlInTheTower: Once Ravenna usurps the kingdom, she locks Snow White away in a prison for several years instead of killing her immediately.
 * God Save Us From the Queen: Queen Ravenna seems to be a near-classic evil queen.
 * The Good King: Snow White's father is said to have been this.

 * At the end of the movie between Snow White and the Huntsman, who also do this a couple of other times throughout the movie.
 * Ravenna and Snow White, after Snow White stabs her.
 * Helmets Are Hardly Heroic: Snow White rides into battle in full armour, but no helmet. In a battle where they are storming a castle and getting a lot of things dropped, poured and thrown on them. Actually that might qualify as Fridge Logic, Snow White is the leader and symbol of the rebellion, so she has to be recognizable to give hope to her fellow rebels and the oppressed population. Helmeted fighters tend to be Faceless Goons, and Snow White is a princess. But maybe they could have gotten a gold plated helmet for her that sort of looked like a crown.
 * Heroes Prefer Swords: Snow White is just about the only notable character who uses a sword. Everyone else uses axes, bows, daggers, a cane, and so forth. The only exception is her father, the King.
 * Heroic Sacrifice:
 * High Collar of Doom: Ravenna has a particularly impressive cape featuring a feathered high collar.
 * The High Queen: Snow White's mother.
 * Hollywood Tactics: Using cavalry in deep woods or during high tide? Storming a castle without siege engines or at least a battering ram? Don't worry, you'll get by thanks to Rule of Cool.
 * Hot Chick with a Sword: Snow White in the final act.
 * Hot Witch: Ravenna.
 * Hunk: Chris Hemsworth as the Huntsman.
 * Hurting Hero: The Huntsman, a war hero and a widower, turns to alcohol to ease his pain.
 * I Will Protect Her:
 * Ice Queen: Queen Ravenna. As the Big Bad, she never gets defrosted.
 * Impaled with Extreme Prejudice:
 * Incest Subtext: Queen Ravenna's relationship with her brother Finn flirts with incest several times. Especially when Ravenna bathes in front of him and, later, he gives her a not-so-brotherly kiss on the shoulder. She repeatedly reminds him that he vowed to protect her.
 * Just in Time: The Huntsman, William and the Dwarves arrive just in time to stop Ravenna from cutting out Snow White's heart.
 * Karmic Death:
 * Keystone Army: Seemingly played straight with the Dark Army in the opening who shatter like glass upon any heavy impact.
 * Kneel Before Frodo: The people at the Duke's castle kneel in awe before Snow White.
 * Kneel Before Zod: The Queen's guards force the Huntsman to kneel before Ravenna.
 * Lady of War: Snow White becomes one to take back her kingdom.
 * La Résistance: The Duke leads a fairly ineffective one until Snow White shows up and galvanizes them.
 * Large Ham: The Queen.
 * Life Drinker: The Queen is shown draining the Life Energy of an unfortunate woman to rejuvenate herself.
 * Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: Snow White and Ravenna.
 * Like Brother and Sister: William and Snow White. They used to play with each other as kids and were constantly bickering.
 * Literally Shattered Lives: The soldiers in the Queen's army are seemingly made of obsidian, and shatter when attacked. This is how they are killed in the first battle by the King's army. However, in the end battle, the soldiers are shown to be able to Pull Themselves Together when shattered by William and the Huntsman.
 * The Lost Woods: The dark forest and the Sanctuary. One is an evil forest and one is full of fairies, but they're both undoubtedly ancient forests filled with strange creatures.
 * Love Interests:
 * Love Triangle:
 * Magic Mirror: Here, it is an outright Mirror Monster which at one point looks like a shout-out to this sculpture.
 * Make Up Is Evil: Ravenna wears Excessive Evil Eyeshadow. Snow White's red lips do not qualify as they were supposedly natural.
 * Mama Bear:
 * Manipulative Bastard: This is how Ravenna usurped Snow White's kingdom in the first place.
 * Manly Tears: The Huntsman cries Tears of Remorse
 * Meaningful Name: Snow White, naturally. Also, the the Queen's name, Ravenna, is clearly a reference to her Ravens and Crows theme.
 * Medieval European Fantasy: Christianity exists among natural deities, fairies, dwarves, and dark magic.
 * Medieval Stasis: Assuming Ravenna's boast about how long she's lived is accurate and not simply hyperbole (which could be debatable based on her less-than-stable state of mind), than in the past 800 to 1400 years humans have not progressed at all past the plate armor knights on horseback phase (seen in her childhood flashback).
 * More Deadly Than the Male: Ravenna.
 * Mordor: Ravenna's Fisher King influence has turned the land into this.
 * Mr. Fanservice: Chris Hemsworth (the Huntsman) and Sam Claflin (William).
 * Ms. Fanservice: Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron both.
 * Mushroom Samba: The Dark Forest is filled with hallucinogenic spores.
 * My Greatest Failure: The Huntsman letting his beloved wife out of his sight only for her to be captured, raped and eventually killed.
 * Natural Spotlight: On Snow White in the scene with her lying comatose in a white gown.
 * Never Trust a Trailer: The quote at the top of the page is never said by Ravenna, and the Magic Mirror never shatters like it does in one of the trailers.
 * No Immortal Inertia:
 * Not So Different: Said almost verbatim by Ravenna to Snow White during the climax.
 * Not So Different: Said almost verbatim by Ravenna to Snow White during the climax.
 * Not So Different: Said almost verbatim by Ravenna to Snow White during the climax.


 * Of Corsets Sexy: The dress which we first see Snow White in has one.
 * Offing the Offspring: Ravenna wants to take Snow White's heart because this will give her Immortality.
 * One for Sorrow, Two For Joy: Magpies are all over this film. One appears right before Snow White is to be led to the Queen and murdered, two appear later to lead her to her horse. Basically, any time something happens, either one or two magpies will appear to portend it, whichever is appropriate. Not that anybody comments on this.
 * One-Scene Wonder: Early on, one of the resistance fighters and his son are captured and brought before the Queen. The father stays silent and ignores the Queens taunting, but the son
 * Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: The Huntsman has a Scottish accent, which clashes with Chris Hemsworth's lovely Australian accent every so often, but for the most part it holds up well.
 * Our Dwarves Are All the Same: Yep. They're no different here than they are in any other fantasy setting.
 * Perma-Stubble: Both the Huntsman and William have short facial hair which is longer than usual stubble but still not quite a beard.
 * Pimped-Out Dress: Ravenna wears many elaborate dresses throughout the course of the movie.
 * The Power of Love:
 * Pretty in Mink: One of Ravenna's many elaborate outfits.
 * Princely Young Man: William is advertised as "The Prince" in the movie posters, but he is actually a Duke's son, not a real prince.
 * Rain of Arrows: As Snow White and her followers are riding towards the castle. The Queen's archers send a barrage of arrows through the air, taking down a number of Snow White's army.
 * Rated "M" for Manly: Snow White might be the Xenified heroine, but between the axe-wielding Huntsman who has gone into the dark forest and survived twice and the arrow shooting William who attacked the queen's men on a regular basis, there's loads of testosterone to go around.
 * Ravens and Crows: The queen's theme, including her name.
 * Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: Snow White.
 * Real Men Love Jesus: The adult Snow White, and future action heroine, are The Lord's Prayer.
 * Really 700 Years Old:
 * Rebel Leader: Snow White becomes this when she reaches the Duke's castle.
 * La Résistance: Those who oppose the Queen flock to the Duke's castle.
 * Reverse Mole:
 * Rightful King Returns/In Its Hour of Need: The climactic battle.
 * Romantic False Lead: An interesting example. Viewers who are familiar with the fairy tale may assume that William (the Prince Charming figure) will be Snow White's love interest..
 * Rousing Speech: Snow White gives one to the Resistance to inspire them to take back Ravenna's kingdom rather than continue hiding.
 * Royal Blood: Snow White's royal ancestry is part of why she is The Chosen One.
 * Royals Who Actually Do Something: You could say this about both Snow and Ravenna, though what they're fighting for is obviously on completely opposite ends of the spectrum. King Magnus also leads his knights into battle in the prologue, and William and his father go with Snow White's army to assault Ravenna's castle.
 * Rule of Symbolism: The film makes heavy use of symbolism and foreshadowing.
 * Rule of Three: Three drops of blood, spilled three times.
 * Scenery Porn: The film has lots of incredibly beautiful nature shots. And no fewer shots of desolate and burnt-down landscapes.
 * Sequel Hook: It is likely that if a sequel is made, it will Clean Up Romantic Loose Ends left at the end of the first movie in regards to the Love Triangle between Snow White/William/
 * Apparently, the second film's script is being written and there are plans for a franchise.
 * Sexy Back: Played straight when Ravenna is at full power, subverted when we see her again when her power is diminished, aged and haggard.
 * She Cleans Up Nicely: Snow White looks quite angelic in her white gown.
 * Played with when the only time the Huntsman comments on Snow White's beauty is when he tells her that she looks fetching in mail, not a dress.
 * Ship Tease: Mostly between the Huntsman and Snow White, because the only real moments she gets with William he
 * Shout-Out: The sleeves of Snow White's first dress are reminiscent of those on the dress worn by Disney Snow White.
 * The part where Snow White enters the Dark Forest while fleeing capture. The manner in which she mourns her horse's loss as it gets stuck in the bog is reminiscent of how Atreyu mournfully watching Artax die in the Swamp of Sadness.
 * The part where Snow White gets lost in the Dark Forest and gets into a Troubled Fetal Position is reminiscent of when an utterly dejected Bella Swan gets into that same position in the forest after Edward Cullen leaves her in the New Moon film.
 * When the eight dwarfs appear, their blind leader Muir is seen wearing a beaked mask like the ones worn by plague doctors during the Middle Ages. In effect, he's Doc. Could also be a mythology gag.
 * in the Sanctuary is a clear Shout-Out to.
 * One of the dwarves starts singing the Disney film's "Heigh-ho" song
 * Halfway through her shapeshifting spell, the Evil Queen looks exactly like Lord Voldemort.
 * The coat-of-arms of Snow White's kingdom looks suspiciously like the The White Tree of Gondor.
 * Shut UP, Hannibal:
 * Early in the film, the Evil Queen walks up to a random prisoner and starts tormenting him with her usual Does Not Like Men spiel. Instead of politely listening to her ranting, in mid-speech the guy grabs an unsecured dagger from the guard holding him and straight up stabs her in the chest (which gives him more smarts and initiative than 99% of Fantasy genre characters). Sadly, she's enchanted and can only be killed by The Chosen One, and kills the poor guy for his defiance.
 * Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Trailer: Sam Claflin (William) appears for about a second in the trailer, and even then you have a hard time telling that it's him.
 * Smug Snake: Queen Ravenna
 * Snow Means Death:
 * Something About a Rose: Snow White's mother is inspired by a rose blooming in winter, and hopes that her child will have the strength and courage of the flower.
 * Spikes of Villainy: Ravenna's crown sports tall and menacing "spires".
 * Spirited Young Lady: Snow White.
 * Stalker with a Crush: It is mentioned that Finn watches Snow White quite often while she's in prison, but doesn't come in because his sister won't let him.
 * Storming the Castle: Snow White and her army attack Ravenna's castle in the climax.
 * Stupid Evil: When the Huntsman is about to deliver Snow White to Finn, Finn gloats that Ravenna will not keep her bargain and resurrect the Huntsman's wife. If he had kept his mouth shut, the bad guy's would have won.
 * Symbolic Blood:
 * When the king dies, he knocks over a chalice full of red wine.
 * Taking the Bullet:
 * Tall, Dark and Bishoujo: While she is a blonde, the darkly-dressed, statuesque, beautiful, and ruthless Queen Ravenna fits this trope very well.
 * This Is Reality: Invoked. One of the trailers states that "this is not a Fairy Tale".
 * Through the Eyes of Madness:
 * Tonight Someone Kisses: The trailer left people thinking that William's kiss would wake Snow White.
 * Too Dumb to Live: Sure Finn, keep taunting the Huntsman about . It's not like he won't get pissed at you.
 * Toplessness From the Back: Ravenna on several occasions, although not always in a good way.

 * True Beauty Is on the Inside: Whilst the film recognises Snow White as the Fairest of Them All, what defines her from Ravenna and what is ultimately more important is her inner beauty.
 * True Love's Kiss: Made obvious by the Climactic Music that plays after
 * Unexplained Recovery: It's surprising how little anyone bats an eyelid when Snow White casually walks out, perfectly alive, of the castle wherein she was laid out while dead. Apparently, in this universes, True Love's Kiss can just do that.

 * Will They or Won't They?: Snow White and William/.
 * Wolverine Claws: Ravenna wears some intimidating-looking silver claws on her hands as a part of her elaborate outfits.
 * Woman in Black: Ravenna, in most of the movie. Part of being a foil to a girl named Snow White and all.
 * Woman in White: Snow White.
 * Ravenna also has a moment where she submerges herself in a white liquid and emerges white from head to toe.
 * Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds:
 * World's Most Beautiful Woman: Snow White. Played with in that the movie emphasizes that this a combination of both her inner and outer beauty.

 * The Queen can turn herself into a huge flock of ravens.
 * The soldiers in the Dark Army at the beginning as well as the monsters at the end are both made up of some kind of magical glass or other substance.

 * Xenafication: In this version, Snow White goes Joan of Arc on her enemies.
 * X Meets Y: Snow White meets Lord of the Rings.

 * You Killed My Father: Invoked during the climax, by Ravenna rather than Snow.
 * 0% Approval Rating: Everyone hates Ravenna. They're also completely terrified of her. While talking with Snow White in the forest, she even admits this.
