FROZEN – True
Love Rules
-A review
This animated movie which is a
result of best hands put together in creativity is worth for a reflection- a
reflection that can change our lives. You can learn so many things from this
movie although it’s quite far away from the reality when it comes to the
animation effects that are portrayed. The whole story format points out to the
reality of life and it also significantly arouses our conscience and touches
our hearts. The base for the whole story of Frozen is created on an important
positive value- LOVE. On the other hand there is this negative value of fear
that dominates a major part of the film. St. Paul in one of his letters says,
“Where there is fear, there is no love.” In the same way, where love prevails,
there is no place for fear. In the film, we see how fear controls the life of
the princess Elsa and we also see how that fear originated. That same fear made
her suffer from loneliness, pain, misunderstanding and forced her to struggle
badly through life. Fear made her repeat the mistakes again and the reason for
that is she could not dare to face the reality. She was running away from the
reality and it affected her, ruining her life. It is same in the context of our
lives. We may not possess those supernatural powers but we do make mistakes in
our power of being human. We may also possess some powers which are
authoritative or dominative. When we make mistakes we too can end up suffering
like the princes Elsa. The princess’ sister Anna plays a key role in describing
to us the worth of true love. Although her sister (Princess Elsa) ignores her,
she is always behind her sister expressing love with her beautiful voice. Her
encounter with the prince Hans and spending of some romantic moments with him
makes her feel that she has reached the gate of true love as it is in many of
our lives. But it’s only when she meets that handsome ice- cutter Kristoff who
helps her and also willingly sacrificed himself for her that she opens her eyes
to the reality, the love that is authentic. Finally when Prince Hans betrays
her on the point of life or death she realizes and remembers the true love that
she experienced spending risk-taking moments and challenges on the way
searching for her sister( Princess Elsa). The climax of true love is caught by
our eyes not when the Kristoff kisses Anna, but only when knowing the sacrifice
of life that her sister made, Elsa cries hugging her sister. And as the story
ends, we see how true love dominates the whole surrounding converting winter
into summer, bringing joy on so many faces. Fear fades away as love rules and
we see this amazing and interesting story come to an end bringing smile on our
faces. That’s something only love can do…..True love. I mean it!!!
