the queen, not the princess

As a mother of two daughters, I'm so welcome in this day and age when girls' "Idols" aren't Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, or Snow White. In those typical fairy tales, in the first half of a girl's life, there is always a father who has no sense of existence and an evil woman, and the fate of the second half of her life must be attached to a prince who does not know the details and only loves beauty, and finally faces a Pale happy ending. Every time I tell my daughter a fairy tale like this, I go to great lengths to adapt and explain it, so as not to instill wrong values ​​in them.

And Elsa and Anna are queens, not princesses, who have their own missions and can shoulder heavy responsibilities. They don't need the prince's "save", they have the ability to protect themselves, they just need to follow their hearts and support each other. No matter how difficult the road to freedom is, it is still up to you.

One of my favorite lines from the second installment was the old goblin saying, "We've been worried that Elsa's magic is too powerful for this world. Now, we want it to be strong enough."

I thought that in the real world, women's rights are often faced with such dilemmas. There are often voices "fearing that they are too powerful". In fact, our "magic" is far from enough, and we don't know how to help a person in marriage or marriage. Women who experience domestic violence in their relationships or how to deal with total injustice in the workplace and society.

I want my daughter to see not just the "beautiful" of Elsa and Anna, but their resilience and the love and support from their sisters.

Also, I love the beautiful fall and "animistic" setting in the second part. Open the senses, feel the nature, you will really find a lot of "magic".

    The more the trailer says nothing, the more bad the positive film proves one of the laws. Due to the weak main storyline and the simple spiritual core, the theme song is far from the Let It Go of the year. I managed to sleep over 15 minutes of climax.

    Why does Elsa have to be Lara without a male partner? I feel that love is something that doesn't fit Queen Elsa's temperament.
