Snow White and "Sonne"
While
all three works of art—“Sonne” by Rammstein, Basile’s “The Young Slave,” and
the Grimm Brothers’ “Snow White”—include the figure that is Snow White, they
all wildly differ from one another. For example, “Sonne” the music video was in
a completely different language than Basile or the Grimm Brothers’ tales, but
that’s just a basic level. This video also included the seven dwarfs featured
in the Grimm Brothers’ tales but took a dark twist where Snow White was the
dwarf’s masters. In short, in Basile’s “The Young Slave,” a girl named Lilla
and her friends were all jumping over a rose. Lilla jumped all the way over the
rose and after, one leaf fell. Afterwards, Lilla finds herself pregnant and falls
into a deep grief, where it brings her to her grave. While the Grimm Brothers’
tale is the fairy tale we think of when we think Disney: the three drops of
blood falling, the seven dwarfs, the awakening of Snow White by a prince. Overall,
I liked the Grimm Brother’s tale the most since it was the least strange and didn’t
involve Snow White slapping the butts of the dwarfs.
