"Snow White", New Edition


The new movie about the old Snow White tale sees a lot of changes indeed. The traditional Brothers Grimm's characters are all there, but portrayed differently. The wicked Queen, in particular, is still wicked, but with a fantastic sense of humor. I found it interesting that the story is told by the Queen's perspective, which brings back a recurring idea to my mind, i.e. how the same situation appears under another light, if observed from a different point of view. You may not agree, but... it is so. Therefore, when you keep believing that your opinion is "always" the correct one, remember that so does your counterpart.
This said, now... here is a joke: A little boy  accompanies his father to see a lawyer for a dispute he is having with a neighbor. The father tells his reasons and the lawyer says, "You're right". Then the neighbor tells his reasons, and the lawyer says, "You're right". The little boy jumps up, exclaiming, "How can they both be right?" And the lawyer says, "You, too, are right"!
