Frozen Is A Good Example For Young Ladies

"Elsa did not "lock herself away for years", she was separated from her sister and any contact with the outside world because her parents didn't want her to hurt anybody around her.""Do you want to build a snowman?" Anna: Elsa? (Knocking: Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock) Do you wanna build a snowman? Come on lets go and play I never see you anymore Come out the door It's like you've gone away- We used to be best buddies And now we're not I wish you would tell me why!- Do you wanna build a snowman? It doesn't have to be a snowman. Elsa: Go away, Anna from: http://www.metrolyrics.com...This is from the film. It's obvious that it's Elsa's choice to isolate herself from her sister. She would be allowed to play with Anna, but she doesn't because of her false guilt and resulting depression. Note that Anna doesn't say "Mommy and Daddy don't want us to play! Let's sneak out and build a snowman!" The parents have nothing to do with Elsa's choice. She even closes the door on Anna.May I remind you that after the death of their parents, Elsa STILL rejects Elsa, even though her younger sister begs her for support? So, if it had been the parents' wish, Elsa clearly would have rekindled her relationship with Anna after their death."The parents were trying to help her get control of her powers before allowing her to have more contact with people."How? Do they get a teacher for her? No. All they do is give her gloves that don't help and basically tell Elsa to get a hold of herself when they leave.And they were NEVER supportive of her when she was small: NOBODY knows of Elsa's powers. That means that her parents kept those a secret from the very first moment she exhibited this extraordinary talent. Again, her lack of control PROVES that Elsa didn't get enough (or any) love in her early childhood, because LOVE is the KEY to controlling the power. Elsa has no control, so she has not experienced love."Anna's memories were "removed". But you obviously didn't pay attention to the part where the Grandfather Troll said, "Don't worry, I leave the fun." Therefore, he is implying that he simply changed the memories that had magic. He left the good times."Taking memories away without consent is a form of rape. Who has the right to decide which memories are "good" or "bad"? We learn from memories, so taking away bad memories means robbing you of important experiences. In this particular case, Anna somehow really thought that her sister Elsa would never harm her, so she was careless when she tried to convince Elsa to come back with her, which resulted in Elsa mortally wounding her, as the trolls had warned so many years ago. Had Anna known of her first injury, she would have been more careful and would not have been hurt. So, the memory of Elsa hurting her would obviously have saved her, making it a beneficial, hence "good" memory.If, as you say, the troll had the power to CHANGE her memory, he should have changed it to: Elsa hit her over the head with an icicle accidentally. That would have given her a proper warning. But instead, she was robbed of a vital piece of information.Also, this lack of information drove the sisters apart and weakened the love Elsa would have needed to control her powers: had Anna known of the incident, she could have FORGIVEN Elsa, or at least understood why Elsa was withdrawing from her. But with the memory gone, she was left in doubt and insecurity for years.Which, by the way, means that Anna was PERMANENTLY abused from early childhood: lied to, left in the dark, plagued with the vague guilt that she had somehow wronged her sister. That's emotional abuse at its worst."Elsa was driven from her home, but because she was scared."While the Duke was the first to cry out, all people were clearly afraid of her. After all the years in which her parents kept her powers secret (including the time BEFORE she hurt Anna), she had any reason to be scared: scared of being killed - which is exactly what the bad guys are trying to achieve several times in the film. Nobody comes to her support. Clearly, the people are prejudiced Nobody cheers: "Wow, our Queen is a superhero!" They all turn away in horror. That drives her away."The chandelier in her ice castle collapsed and while she was running away, a piece of it knocked her out."And why did it fall? It was hit by an assassin's crossbow bolt and aimed for her. This is called "indirect perpetration". With the intent to kill her, this comes down to attempted murder. Blaming it on the chandelier is totally misleading. She is beaten unconscious by a piece of ice due to a killer shooting a deadly bolt at her. Sounds pretty abusive." In the song, "Let It Go," Elsa said "That perfect girl is gone." The entire song is about a young lady trying to find herself. She is finally accepting that she isn't like other people and she never will be."I do not deny the words. You misinterpret the song, though.Elsa SAYS she's no longer the perfect girl. And how does she achieve this? By donning fashionable clothes and putting on heavy make-up, turning into a fashion model, exactly the "perfect girl" she allegedly isn't. And what "perfect girl" was she before? She was a depressive, crying, scared nervous wreck. Certainly no "perfect girl".So, the song is about her letting go, but she lets go of her true self, isolating herself from every other living being, locking herself away in exactly the same isolation which she spent the last years in. Where's the change? How is she "free"? She's just locked herself away further away in a bigger room, and is now wearing fancy dresses.This song is the nervous breakdown of a depressive young woman losing it.What exactly are your ad-hominem remarks supposed to achieve? "I'm sure that sometime in the past, you were insecure and that you made some bad choices. But you got over it and accepted yourself in time."You don't know me and I have nothing in common with a depressive child/teenager. And even if I did, we are not discussing my life, this is about the film."When the King and Queen locked the gates, it was their choice."So you concede to the abuse."Neglect Neglect is any action — or inaction — on the part of a caregiver that causes a child physical or emotional harm. For example, withholding food, warmth in cold weather, or proper housing is considered neglectful. Basically, anything that interferes with a child's growth and development constitutes neglect. This also includes: failing to provide medical care when a child is injured or sick locking a child in a closet or room placing a child in a dangerous situation that could lead to physical injury or death Abandonment is a type of neglect. This occurs when a child is left alone for extended periods of time or suffers serious harm because no one was looking after him or her. Emotional Abuse Emotional abuse or psychological abuse is a pattern of behavior that has negative effects on a child's emotional development and sense of self-worth. Ignoring a child or withholding love, support, or guidance is considered emotional abuse. So is threatening, terrorizing, belittling, or constantly criticizing a child." from: http://kidshealth.org...# I have already proved that the parents were withholding love, and you admit she was locked away. So you admit the child abuse and there's no use further denying it. Other than that, how does the ill choice of Fiona's father justify the ill choice of Elsa's parents in "Frozen"? There can be no doubt about it: "Frozen"depicts family as abusive, and you defending them is a good example of how damaging this film is to the image of a wholesome and healthy family life. You mistake evident abuse for love after seeing this film. That's sad, and I would advise you to watch better movies and keep away from this distortive depiction of a loving, caring family.
