Frozen movie review and an extension to Life

I literally just saw the Walt Disney blockbuster of the holiday season Frozen and trying to articulate how I feel about it before those emotions are blown away...spoiler alert though (sorry, I have to put things into context)

I saw the trailer and Kristen Bell's interview about it and has been anticipating it ever since...not just because I'm a sucker for Disney movies but also because of the unconventional storyboard of a girl fearing about her "monstrous" powers, concealing it and alienating herself, even and especially from the little sister she loves dearly, which tormented the both of them.

Another turmoiling moment for me was when Elsa was emancipated from the city and was able to feel her true self, knowing she can't go back...back to her home...to being with her people...that she will have to be alone for the sake of everyone...yet in a way it set her free...

Anna is another intriguing character who first spontaneously fell in love and then courageously ran after her sister, with full faith she won't harm her and taking full responsibility of the city's fate. 

There's also the disguise of love, the definition of love, realizing your abilities as well as trusting other people's abilities, and above all having your siblings back. A true gem I recommend to people of all ages, because either your children will love the two princesses and all the catchy songs that you will also fall in love with, or you will burst your tears from laughing at good old Olaf!


This movie also made me reflect on my own life (as of most movies do) and made me question myself: have I lost my ability to write and love or is it just fear? and how am I gonna really emancipate myself from those fears? I already have a great support system of family and friends, what more could I ask for?

But on this eve of Christmas, I just wish to thank the Lord for everything and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!!!=)
