Thoughts on the Frozen 2 ending
Ok you know what? I wouldnât be as upset as I am with Elsa living in the forest if they actually showed her forming a connection with it. Like, Elsa talking to the Northuldra people and actually having meaningful conversations, being interested in their culture, feelingâŚsomething more deep toward this magical place.Â
Or maybe in the initial flashback when Agnarr is talking about the forest, Elsa saying: âmaybe thatâs where I should live because I have magic tooâ and Anna of course replying âNOOO you will live here with me forever!!!â or something like that.
Oh and actually showing what the hell she has to do there. Iâm sorry but âshe has to balance the elementsâ isnât enough for me, because if Arendelle now is united with the forest and magic, why does Elsa has to stay there to balance everything? âShe feels she belongs thereâ ok but where was this showed??? Again, just telling me things doesenât work! She just says âWow this forest is so prettyâ and this is supposed to be enough for me to believe that she would decide to live there? Show me that she really feels connected to that place, that itâs completely her choice to go there and itâs not just because it fits her new role more.
But most of all, actually showing that Anna is ok with Elsa living elsewhere. I really feel that Anna had just to accept everything so fast. Coupled with the fact that sheâs now queen, if I was her I would be overwhelmed. From what they showed us in the movie, I didnât really feel her full acceptance towards this new situation.
I would have liked to see Anna slowly understanding throughout the movie that Elsa really feels connected to this forest, but at the beginning she doesenât want to admit it to herself because to her, this place is just another door, another thing that could take Elsa away from her forever. Maybe actually using her line âIf I lost her, I think I would loose myselfâ.
But at the end, after having actually lost Elsa, she understands that her sister has to go to live away, that sheâs not losing her, and most of all itâs fine because Elsaâs happy, and so is she.
Anna looking at Elsa with pride and sadness in her eyes; Elsa noticing this and going to hug her tight, asking her if sheâs really ok with this, with them not living together anymore. Telling her that she could stil live in the castle. And Anna replying that no, it wouldnât be fair to Elsa and that yes, she is fine with this, because itâs not like those horrible 13 years, itâs not a real separation, itâs just change, but itâs not something bad. It will not be easy to get used to it, but itâs fine because âsome things never changeâ âand Iâm holding on tight to youâ.
The thing that makes me so damn angry and disappointed is that it was all so rushed that it didnât give me the time to accept these changes, they were just thrown to me! Itâs not what theyâve done that itâs wrong, itâs how they did it.Â
Conclusion: this movie should have been a series, or at least 2h long. Oh and they definitely should have cut at least two songs, they are fine but they took away precious time from the plot.
I agree. I felt the same way too. I just can't believe Anna is okay with Elsa living elsewhere. And yeah.. too much song about Kristoff I guess. I mean, frozen 2 is good. I love it but I'm not really amazed with the ending. I just feel like Elsa is still the queen. I dont know. Anyway i agree
