Now see, I loved it. I still loved it. But I heard it as a young woman who has spent her entire life trying to be what others wanted her to be, and do what others wanted her to do, realizing for the first time that she has a say in this too.

Even from the first scene. She gets out of bed because Anna wants her too, and Anna doesn't care that Elsa wants to go back to sleep (realistic for a small child, I'm not saying Anna's evil or anything.) And then she ends up hurting Anna while Anna's demanding "Catch me!" "Again!" and Elsa's pleading with Anna to stop. She very obviously doesn't want to, but she does because Anna wants her to.

She doesn't want her parents to go. They go. And then you skip to a young woman who is profoundly unhappy and still going along with what everyone else needs her to do. And every time she does try to assert herself in the slightest, others throw a fit about it.

And so she leaves. And for the first time, alone, she realizes there's no one she has to listen to but herself. And it's a glorious moment. She's a PERSON. She has opinions. She matters.

And you can kind of hope, even when people come barging back in and bringing back all the demands of 'you need to live for others', that the moment of freedom sticks with her and she learns to be more assertive. To measure what she needs against what others want, and her wants against others' wants, instead of constantly concealing and not feeling anything but what everyone else wants from her.

Huh. Well thanks for that perspective.
