Snow White and the Huntsman

As already disclosed here and here after having spent the morning at the IH Coimbra, we headed to the mall to have lunch and then a flick, but this time students didn't even know what I had in store for them - it was a complete surprise, first for them who reacted with some protest and even disdain when I told them we were going to recall our childhood stories (?) with Snow White, and then also for me once it proved better than expected.
"Snow White and the Huntsman" is a modern day fairy tale: among other examples, it still includes the proverbial "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?" but "in a twist to the fairy tale, the Huntsman ordered to take Snow White into the woods to be killed winds up becoming her protector and mentor in a quest to vanquish the Evil Queen." Check for yourself this good movie: great visual effects, good acting (though a much "fairer" evil Queen than Snow White), awesome landscapes, not like the Disney films we are used to.
I'm not going to tell you much more about it but just for you to have an idea, check this stunning "Breath of Life" music video from the soundtrack of the movie:
