I went home this weekend to get away from College Station for a while, and my family and I watched the movie Sydney White! I had no idea what this movie was about but it comes from the fairy tale Snow White. I know we are not talking in class about Snow White anymore, but I wanted to talk about some of the parallels in this movie.
Sydney goes off to college and joins a sorority where the bond of sisterhood is broken and Sydney gets kicked out. She then finds a little cottage at the end of the road where seven dorks live! They each have a different personality; each to go along with the seven dwarfs! There is a sleepy, grumpy, and sneezy! Her ex-sorority president then becomes the "evil witch" and she beats her in the HOT or NOT online game. This becomes the mirror for the "fairest one of all." Sydney then goes on to beat her in a Student Council debate, but not before her Prince Charming (Tyler) rescues her from a deep sleep in the library.. And, of course they live happily ever after with her sorority president stripped of her Kappa priviledges!

I was stunned at how cute this movie was and how clever the producer came up with ideas to parallel the fairy tale! I would definitly suggest this movie to watch to anyone...even kids!! It gives just one more perspective of how this relates to us in real life.
