Everyone must be so familiar with the movie that creates the trend of singing “Let it go”, “Do you want to build a snowman” and “For the first time in forever” all day long. With funny scenes and deep meaning, this is a really-should-see-or-rewatch cartoon. Ladies and gentlemen, beholddddd
To keep the curiosity for those who have never watched “Frozen”, I won’t tell you the whole detailed plot. In short, Elsa, who has the power of freezing and creating ice, has accidentally brought her kingdom a permanent winter and she ran away. The movie is about Anna’s, her sister, journey to find her and how they both solve the problem. It is hard to define who is the protagonist of the movie: Anna or Elsa? Well, I think both. Each character reflects a different side of human. We will come to the frosty girl first. |
We all know the feeling when hurting someone we love. So does Elsa. Her obsession about shooting Anna with an ice beam heavily affects her acts through the whole movie. She locks herself in a room and refuses every urges of Anna to play, which easily causes bore, autism and depression (No one in this world wants to do that, aren’t they?). Imagine how hard it is to say “No” although we know it will hurt ourselves and the others. Later on, while persuading Anna to keep distance from her, Elsa loses her control and shoots her sister again. The history repeats and this time, Elsa was so frustrated that she takes no notice of her life. |
You might wonder: “Is Elsa good or bad?”. She’s bad because she freezes everything and run away without trying to fix it. She is good because she withdraws to protect the others. But if you dig deeper, you’ll see she is COMPLICATED! Elsa chooses the safety of others instead of her happiness and follow it for years. However, when she releases the magic that she has tried to hide, she releases her depression, fear and desire of freedom, too. Eventually, she just “let it go”. She doesn’t care anymore and she realizes running away can bring her both things. When our queen is walking on the mountain, she uses her power as if she has been hungry for this moment for a long time (in fact she is). The only problem is that she desperately longs to be with Anna. So it is very hard to say if she is really happy now.
About Anna, if I were her, I would feel super upset when my sister suddenly disappears (figuratively) and keeps rejecting me. Being a princess and living in a huge castle makes no sense to me if I were alone. This loneliness explains why Anna sings and dances like a child when they open the gate, and why she is eager to marry Hans on the first day they meet and her will to find Elsa in the snowstorm. Also, at first, the way she talks to Elsa in the feast room has been somehow reserved until both sisters say in unison “Chocolate”. At that moment, they somewhat lived in their childhood again. The frozen wall between them starts melting.
After discovering Elsa’s secret, although Elsa tries to shut her out again, she is still persistent and declares she’s not afraid and “I will be right here”. Most of the time, they are distant. But her love and beautiful memories about the sister is so strong that it washes away all her sadness and disappointment that Elsa reluctantly brings her.
Let’s talk about Olaf. His role is not only to make us laugh but also a part of the movie spirit. He stands for the childhood of Elsa and Anna. Even when Elsa chooses to give up everything, she builds Olaf in subconscious. His weird love for summer makes me laugh at first, but then it reminds me of a kid’s childishness: always curious and like to discover the strange (even dangerous) things. He is like a slender but strong string that connects the sisters. |
I won’t spoil the ending to keep a good relationship with those who haven’t watched. I just say that it is very unexpected. At the very moment that you think you know how it happens, it turns 180 degrees. And “Frozen” has completely change the definition of “true love” that we have always seen in Disney movies.
Now, I guess we don’t need to talk about the hilarious parts. It’s better for you to rewatch it than to read my boring words. How many times did you laugh? Well, for me, I couldn't count.

Again, I strongly recommend that you should watch or rewatch it, especially when you are depressed and sad. It will bring you the happiest moments you can ever imagine. And don’t forget to take a glance at “Let it go” parody versions.
