Snow White

The video for "Sonne" by Rammstein was obviously completely different than the original Snow White. The plot was the same, but there are some parts that were more sexualized and inappropriate. You can tell right away that this music video isn't an accurate depiction of the Brothers Grimm or Disney version because of the dwarfs and Snow White's appearance. In the video, there are only six dwarfs (since there are only six members in Rammstein). Snow White is much bigger than the dwarfs in the video and they dislike her, but they also idolize her. She can be seen as unpleasant, as she gives the dwarfs spankings and punches one of them in the face. The fact that Snow White acts as a boss is very important because in the original tale, she had to do domestic chores around the house, not the other way around. Also, when one of the dwarfs is polishing the apples, he stares at her boobs in admiration and it is seen that him and the other dwarfs are sexualizing her. She also snorts gold like cocaine, which isn't child friendly at all. This is like a modern version of Snow White because she dies from an overdose from a needle. Even though this version is more vulgar, the plot is still the same in both versions, Snow White comes to stay with the dwarfs, she dies, and then the dwarfs set her glass casket on a mountain. My favorite version is the Rammstein version because it shows a different version of Snow White. She's more of an evil tyrant and it shows another side of her. Also, it's more modern and relatable to times today, which is more likable.
