唐·巴塞尔姆的《白雪公主》反映了60年代美国社会的精神状况,尤其是以白雪公主为代表的女性的状况。白雪不仅有一定的女性意识:她具有性的新观念、对自己身体的审视也打破了传统、她果敢地让自己身体代言,她还是一个有情趣、有追求、有思想的人。出于对自由的渴望和对现状的不满,她期盼着王子的到来,把她从索然无味的当代生活中拯救出来,结果发现这只是一种虚妄。因为当时的美国男人连自己都无法拯救,更不用说拯救白雪公主了。这表明女性要达到“自主的存在”的生存状态还有很远的路要走。 Don Basham’s “Snow White” reflects the mental state of American society in the 1960s, especially the situation of women represented by Snow White. Snow not only has a certain female consciousness: she possesses a new concept of sex, her own physical examination also breaks the tradition, and she boldly makes her own body endorsement. She is still a person who has fun, pursuit and thinking. Out of her desire for freedom and his dissatisfaction with the status quo, she was looking forward to the Prince’s arrival and to save her from her life which was uninteresting and found that it was only a hypocrisy. Because the then American men were unable to save themselves, let alone save Snow White. This shows that there is still a long way to go if women are to achieve the status quo of “autonomous existence.”
