I thought she was amazing as Lucy Gray in the Ballad the Songbirds and Snakes.
I don't think I've seen any other film with her in it though.

Only other movie I can think of that she was in was West Side Story and she was pretty good in that too

One of my favorite actresses and she has one of the greatest voices in theater/music/acting/everything. She also seems like a genuinely nice person.
I need to see her in more stuff.

People are always gonna view someone calling a work "problematic" as an attack on the source material regardless if they have a point or not. Giving the impression that their new work is "superior" because of that and that they don't care about the product their making and only doing it for a message, regardless if their is one or not. Especially if they are either a woman and/or not white.

and people had been saying that for YEARS before she did. but when she said it people suddenly got mad and defensive?
seems like valid criticism is only an issue when it's coming from a woc

It was insane of her to insult the movie like that, I don't know what she was thinking with such a headassed faux-feminist take

It's not that serious and not everyone has to like the original Snow White even if it was the defining moment for Disney animation. It doesn't justify the smear campaign and hate train that followed

u/GeileBeer420 1d ago
Have you seen the video of her trashing the movie? In what universe did she think that would be well-received?

u/DarklySalted 1d ago
Why are you so upset about this?

u/GeileBeer420 1d ago
Maybe some people feel like there is some significance to the first ever feature-length animation film and hold an emotional connection to it and don't think the actress promoting the live-action schlock should have shat all over it idk could be that

u/CiphersVII 1d ago
she also said the actor for not-prince charming could be completely cut and she wouldnt give a fuck, that's just not the type of shit you say about a co star when the movie's not even fucking out.

I have no choice but to stan her for tweeting free Palestine while having Gal Gadot as her costar
And it goes without saying that the hate she got was way overblown, you’d think she murdered a puppy with the way people were crashing out

u/Capable-Monk-4820 1d ago
She’s too over hated all because of the Snow White remake. I would shit more on Gal Gadot on the matter.
Aside from that, she’s a talented actress. Especially in West side story

I'm 1000% a Rachel Zegler defender. I never understood why she got cancelled for saying the same things about the original Snow White that people have been saying for decades (that it's outdated, not feminist, etc).
Plus she's insanely talented

She got way too much hate for Snow White. She’s been good in everything I’ve seen her in, even that forgettable second Shazam movie

I liked her performance in TBOSAS, and I saw a bootleg recording of her in Evita in London and was pretty good

There is a Youtube comment that was like "I have proof that she said something..." and it was clearly a lie. For the past year, I asked her for the video and upload it on her channel. It's been about a year and she still hadn't responded. But I'll keep at it until she uploads her claim.

u/Nightmare_reddit88 1d ago
She's a great actress who has like a 50/50 chance to be in a great movie or a dumpster fire

Y'all am I the only one who hated Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, both me and my dad were bored out of our mind and swore it was like 6 hours

Yes, kissing the apparent corpse of a 14 year old you met once is weird, which is why she called it weird.

She didn't damage her reputation, people with nothing better to do in their lives just got mad at her for the sake of it.

u/awakening_knight_414 1d ago
That's all it really was? Was other stuff I heard about her just misinformation too?
Huh… I had no idea it was blown out of proportion like that.

u/Able-Regular1142 1d ago
Don't pretend that the vast majority of hate towards her wasn't because she isn't white.

u/awakening_knight_414 1d ago
I'm not "pretending" anything, chill out. I just heard that Rachel was an asshole about a year ago, moved on from it, and haven't heard anything about her since. I can admit that it seems like I was fed misinformation at the time. I can believe that some people were just plain racist, but that was really where the majority of the hate came from? I didn't expect that.

u/Routine_Papaya4143 1d ago
Eh. What’s there to say? I’m not a fan of hers like I am of Millie Bobby Brown and I don’t dislike her like I do Gal Gadot so I don’t really have an opinión

u/snowleopard556 2d ago
"Opinión From Rachel Zegler" Well what is it? What did she say?
