So a couple of weeks ago, I saw Disney's new flick "Frozen" with my friends Ashley and Austin. While my usual style would be to write a review (even though I haven't posted of any of those yet), I decided to analyze this movie in a different way: Through the eyes of a character.
Elsa, in fact. Throughout the film, I was able to relate quite a bit to Elsa's plight, especially during her big musical number, Let it Go.
For those of you who might be unfamiliar with the premise of Frozen, I'll fill you in a bit. Frozen is about a young princess named Anna, who goes on a quest to find her sister Elsa, who accidentally put the Nordic inspired kingdom of Arendelle into a deep freeze. With the help from realistic-and somewhat-grumpy ice seller Kristoff, his crazy reindeer Sven, and cheerful snowman Olaf, they journey to Elsa's ice palace to bring back summer...before everyone freezes.
(Except Olaf, naturally.)
But how much are Elsa and I really alike? Let's find out, shall we?
Maggie
VS.
Elsa
Now that we've met the contenders, LET THE GAMES BEGIN. So, uh, this may not be the easiest thing to read, but it was the easiest for me to format so you could read. Savvy?
MOVING ON.
Maggie:
-Cannot stand the cold
-Does not have ice powers (as far as she knows)
-Is not a princess (but let me have my delusions of grandeur, okay?)
-Has a little brother: Kevin
-Brown hair, brown eyes
-Current profession: College student
Elsa:
-"The cold never bothered me anyway..."
-Is able to manipulate snow and ice. A blessing and a curse
-Heir to the throne of Arendelle
-Has a little sister: Anna
-White hair, blue eyes
-Current profession: Queen
Similarities:
-Oldest sibling
-Likes the color blue
-Snowmen are fun
-We can both rock a braid.
-Bound by other's expectations
-Strive for perfection
-Bottled up our feelings inside
(to an unhealthy amount)
-We also don't fall in love easily
-But we love fiercely
-Awkward at parties
-Awkward in general
-Musical numbers
(Okay, trivia time. I have done musicals, and I can highlight that in another post, but the voice actress for Elsa, Idina Menzel, played the original Elphaba the Broadway musical Wicked, which happens to be one of my favorite musicals of all time! End trivia time.)
-A bit of a cold exterior towards new people
(I'm working on this one.)
-INTROVERT. INTROVERT. INTROVERT.
What do you think? Am I actually quite a bit different from Elsa? What Frozen character can you relate to? Keep in mind that I may add more to this list if I come up with anything else.
But the movie itself. SO, SO EXCELLENT AND WONDERFUL. Ahhhhhh, the feels.
I'll leave you with some stills of this treasure.
