Description

:bulletblue: tumblr :bulletblue:

I did really like the layered aspect of Elsa’s power ballad, what with how she makes it seem like it’s about taking control of her life and following her heart, when what she's really doing is throwing away her responsibility, surrendering herself to her fears, and shutting out the people who can actually help her control them for a better purpose… I felt for her when she realized she couldn’t “be free”, because when we have problems it can seem like the easiest solution is to shed obligations and do what feels comfortable to us without caring what others think, but all we’re really doing is avoiding the issue because we’re afraid to face ourselves.

...I have really mixed feelings about this movie. I wanted badly to love it, and I really liked its themes and particularly what Elsa's character represented, and the snow effects and costumes were very pretty... but I wasn't a fan of some of the storytelling decisions and I walked out of the theater not wanting to rewatch it. Yet I find Elsa's character potentially very compelling and only wish she'd gotten more focus and development...
