Ending Explained
In the conclusion of "Snow White and the Huntsman," directed by Rupert Sanders, Snow White, played by Kristen Stewart, finally confronts and defeats the evil Queen Ravenna, portrayed by Charlize Theron. After a prolonged struggle throughout the film, where Snow White escapes from the queen's captivity and gathers allies, she is ultimately revived from a death-like state by a kiss from her childhood friend William, contradicting the expectation that the Huntsman's kiss would save her. This twist emphasizes her independence and the non-romantic nature of her relationship with the Huntsman. Snow White, now stronger and determined, leads a final assault against Ravenna's castle. In the climactic battle, Snow White faces Ravenna in a dramatic one-on-one confrontation. Using a move that the Huntsman taught her, she manages to stab Ravenna, exploiting the queen's overconfidence and her reliance on the magic mirror's prophecy, which misleadingly suggested her invulnerability. With Ravenna's death, her dark influence over the land ends, and Snow White is crowned queen. The film concludes with Snow White taking the throne, hinting at a reign of peace and justice, restoring the kingdom to its former glory and harmony.
