    4:22 The character wants to be free to express herself, chooses her own path for herself by stepping away from the kingdom she was raised to rule and the way she was raised to act, and does whatever she wants for the first time in her life. It's really simple storytelling, Wallace. It's literally written to be so simple that a three year old could understand it. She's letting go of the societal expectations that she has been burdened with and allowing her true self to shine through (represented by the ice she's repressed.) She's not "giving into her curse," as you put it, she's choosing to embrace her gifts that she was told to hide away inside of herself for the benefit of the kingdom and the royal family.

    @@user-jy4vt4gn1l i think the argument is more along the lines of positions of work. pLayC lost me with his argument lmfao but this whole argument that women are oppressed is simply untrue. They say men have privileges they don’t. True! And women have privileges men don’t. There is some disparity in life, but there is nothing limiting women from success today. Women are more likely to go to further education and have a higher graduation rate. They’re worked into every line of employment these days (minus dirty jobs, which are almost entirely populated by men). Where you work and what level you work determines your income. In the workforce, men are “paid more” because there are more men than women in higher earning brackets. This has continued to change with time though. People fail to recognize that and it creates an argument about the man and how it isn’t my fault I’m unsuccessful, it’s the system! It’s not. And that’s a great thing to hear. It’s all up to you! Gotta make your time worth it.

    I think people commonly misunderstand what let it go is truly about, So let me explain it. She’s talking about letting go of what makes her unique and special, and really embracing who she is, and being her true self. It’s not a curse, it’s a blessing. And I don’t feel like she’s “locking herself in a ice castle” she’s thinking if nobody is going to expect me for me, then I’ll run into the mountains and be alone and free. The loneliness is the price she’s willing to pay to be free. Also idina is the absolute purest soul ever!!!

    He doesn't get it because he's probably never had to deal with the judgmental press of opinions that women have to deal with constantly. How we dress, how we act, makeup, no makeup, shave your legs or don't, everyone from family to total strangers is always willing to pass judgment on us and many of us think locking ourselves into an ice castle would be way better than walking down a street in public being shamed by random passersby.

This inspired one of my students to ask me to teach them the song. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? A child asks to be taught something! I'm not sure why little girls had to watch the movie 50 times, but in my class it only gets played in January - saved my sanity. 🤣

    Wallace...locking herself in an ice castle is good for her, because there she is free and she wont hurt anyone. It may not work for everyone but in her case she is afraid. This fear was put into her by the Troll and her parents that separated her from her only sister and tried to make her control her gift instead of loving her for who she is, cause her parents were afraid too. Isolation was "her" solution after years of suppression. However I do get what you are saying, I too found that (although the movie is good) both were isolated from each other and the world around them.... Like why wasnt Anna allowed to have friends and play outside the castle? That part never made sense to me tbh, so I find it interesting that you question why is her being isolated in a castle good, but not question why were they both isolated from the world when only one had powers.

    To me it's about 4 things you pass through in life as you grow psychologically: open up/engage, experience, accept and letting go. I think Elsa as a kid opened up to her sister, had a hard experience. At some point she had enough, was stuck, then she accepted her situation and let it go. If you get stuck at any of the four phases you stop growing. By realising things, having the courage, the anger to break through barriers you can go through to the next phase and let it go and be open for a new experience and the cycle continues. Yes, this goes sometimes with some fireworks, some people around you may get hurt, but it's for each a normal process.

When reading the entire lyrics I understand "let it go" and as a more positive approach to getting on with one's life and keeping one's humanity than the other options noted in the song that are locking others out and not caring; both of which are negative approaches. Sorry I haven't seen the film but it may add more context.

    I love all media. Music, movies, video games, news, books, and even cartoons.
