“Mirror Mirror” - Summary
Long after her
father The King has turned up missing, Snow White (Lily Collins) is constantly
mistreated by her vain and envious evil stepmother The Queen (Roberts). Shortly
following Snow White’s 18th birthday, The Queen orders her murdered by one of
her courtiers, Brighton (Nathan Lane). However, Brighton – loyal to Snow
White’s kindly father The King – cannot bring himself to do the deed, so he
merely takes her out into the woods and sets her free, urging her to
escape.
Lost and without shelter, Snow White is found by a bunch of
dwarves who make a living by robbing whoever is unfortunate enough to wander
into the woods when they are on the prowl. Teaching her the skills of
their trade, she soon sets out to help them rob travelers in the woods.
Running out of money, The Queen realizes that she needs to find a new source of
income since her poverty-stricken subjects are themselves low on funds and
cannot be taxed any longer. When she meets the handsome young Prince
Alcott (Armie Hammer), she cons him into drinking a love potion so he’ll marry
her – something that wouldn’t normally occur to him because the Prince has
already met the real object of his affections, Snow White.
After
kidnapping Prince Alcott at the wedding, Snow White and the dwarves bring him
back to their lair in the woods. Seeing that he is under some kind of
spell that has caused him to fall in love with The Queen, they set out to find
a way to break the spell so he’ll return to normal – realizing that only true
love will snap him out of it, Snow White gives him her first kiss and they
immediately fall in love. But when The Queen uses the magical powers of
her prized mirror’s reflection to try to kill Snow White, will she prevail or
can Snow White somehow find a way to survive and return to the palace?
