Frozen II
Yo ! watched it ♡ ♡ 🎵
I really liked it. it was good in a lot of different ways, especially ways I didn’t expect. I feel like this movie really harped on ethnic and cultural things for Scandinavia, that made this movie very unique, especially with their use of the Sami. I also love this because forever ago I read a post (around the time the movie came out) about how Frozen could have shown the Sami and what a crime it was that it didn’t, so I feel like this is a good answer to that 😛 .
The music was great, I don’t know though I do feel like it doesn’t quite match up to the original film. Which isn’t to say this film isn’t great, but the original Frozen had such a stellar soundtrack I feel like no matter what it did it would always fall in its shadow. I am glad Kristoff finally got a song, but while I loved the weird 80′s musical aesthetic, I truly wish that the filmmakers/composers had taken it a bit more seriously.
On Anna, I love her song towards the end. I’m not sure, I feel like her story was really pushed aside in Elsa’s favor, and I’m really more on Anna’s side at the end of the day. But I did find her very relatable nonetheless, so that’s a plus.
Elsa’s was strange for me. I feel like a lot of her story kind of disregards the first film. Some of the things she says are true, but a lot of that truth comes from things revealed in this film. The thread between what Elsa learned in Frozen and what she learned in Frozen II work together, but at the same time they contradict each other and I’m pretty unsure about it currently. Its the sort of thing that I”m going to have to mull on, but currently I’m pretty iffy on it, especially given that the spirits that she interacts with remain mysterious throughout the film.
On a happy note I love Olaf in this. And that song that Queen Iduna sings? BRILLIANT. also the costumes were bomb. And can I give a shoutout to that Canoe? And I love when Agenner was like, I’m reading the newest novel by a famous Danish Author 😆 Lol I Can’t
Overall really like it, and it was pretty enjoyable despite my qualms. I hope to go over it more in depth. A good continuation and I liked how it touched and extrapolated points in the first film. Definetly a good way to add to this world, despite my issues that I kind of possessed with some things overall
Ciao!!
