Much Better, But Not Best

Before watching the movie, I had already read the very popular feminist movie review, so I was also interested in Frozen.

The picture is really beautiful, the 3D effect is very good, especially the knife in the opening scene almost scared me to cry. The music is also beautiful. The whole movie still has a strong Disney style, which makes me a Disney lover very happy.

Maybe because I've seen that movie review before, my expectations are actually a little too high. I think it's because of the sisters that this movie is getting so much attention. The love model of Anna and Kristoff is actually similar to that of Rapunzel, and it can be regarded as a normal love story between men and women. But there is more Elsa in Frozen, and the relationship between sisters steals the spotlight.

But I don't control lily, and I don't see love between sisters. There is true love between Elsa and Anna, but this kind of love is love between relatives. It was Anna who was willing to sacrifice her act of true love for Elsa to save herself, and also inspired her sister to use her abilities to thaw the entire Kingdom, because Elsa loves her kingdom dearly.

Some people may think that Elsa's ability is actually a metaphor for homosexuality, but I prefer to see Elsa's ability as something unique to everyone, it may be your sexual orientation, it may be your dream, it may be your true character, just in In life, we must hide our true selves with such and such eyes. And the song Let It Go actually tells us to put aside our concerns about others.

I'm glad Disney has been improving. I remember when I was a kid, I started watching Disney cartoons, especially the princess series, from Snow White, to Beauty and the Beast, my favorite princess is Belle. When I grew up, I found that I liked Belle because she was really brave, willing to stay in the castle for her father, and because she was smart, independent, and assertive; she was able to keep her own judgment sober when everyone else insisted that the beast was a bad person force, believe in the beast. Likewise, I like Ariel because she uses it to pursue her own life. But now, starting from Enchanted, I understand that the love at first sight between a prince and a princess is not necessarily beautiful. When I arrived at Rapunzel, I found that what the princess pursued was not necessarily love, nor was it necessarily the prince (although I didn’t read that movie review). I never thought that Rapunzel's pursuit of his own identity can be understood as the pursuit of female identity), in Frozen, the prince is not necessarily a good person. I like to see this kind of development very much, and I am also very happy that today’s children, even us, can watch such movies, especially girls, and can understand that princes, love, marriage, and family are not our only and ultimate pursuits. Of course, everyone's goals are different, but what we want is that everyone's choice can be respected. You are willing to be a wife, mother, and dedicate your family, but I can also choose to fight my life in the workplace.

In general, Frozen and Tangled are quite similar, the biggest difference may be the description between Elsa and Anna (I still admit that this is family love). However, the first half of Frozen is very exciting, and it starts to feel unbearable afterward. Compared with some previous classic works, such as Beauty and the Beast, it is still slightly insufficient. (But this may also be my own subjective feeling, because Beauty and the Beast is too classic in my mind, whether it's plot, music, characters, etc. Even if Tangled and Frozen are highly regarded, I still feel that there is nothing )

I'm looking forward to Disney's next princess series. Maybe this is a complex that has been cultivated since childhood. If it wasn't for the princess series, I wouldn't find myself so fond of European architecture, castles and history there, as well as moving music and music. romantic story.

PS: I suddenly remembered that Kristoff was ignored because the sisters were too stealing the spotlight, but his feelings for Anna were also very touching. He sent her back to the palace, to Hans, and then left alone; he found that the palace was surrounded by a blizzard , and then go back desperately. Olaf also said that Kristoff loves Anna, but not enough to give her to Hans and leave forever (perhaps that explains why Kristoff's return to the palace doesn't save Anna)
