we just talk about this scene? Because no, this isn\u2019t the first Disney film about family, that\u2019s true. But this movie, it deals explicitly with the notion of true love\u2019s kiss.\u00a0<br \/>&ldquo;An act of true love can thaw a frozen heart&rdquo; and they just assume &ldquo;true love\u2019s kiss.&rdquo; And the entire audience, we just went along with it. I mean, sure, we probably guessed that it was Kristoff and not Hans, but true love\u2019s kiss, sounds legit.<\/p>\n<p>But you know what, a stupid kiss isn\u2019t an act of true love by itself. An act of true love is an act of self-sacrifice, and although a kiss can be loving, it\u2019s not really on the self-sacrificial level.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If an act of true love being performed towards her was going to save her, she would have been saved the second Kristoff dropped her at the castle. Getting her to the castle and letting her go was an act of true love. But that didn\u2019t save her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Why? Because other people can\u2019t change you. Other people can\u2019t fix you. They can help you see what needs to be done, but they can\u2019t do it for you. It\u2019s not really so much about not needing a man to save you, whatever. Anna\u2019s gender doesn\u2019t even matter to this scene. What matters is that if your heart is frozen, and it was long before Elsa shot ice into it &#8211; her requests of her sister were to play and for company, never questions of whether her sister needed anything. If your heart is frozen, only you can thaw it. You have to fix yourself. And the only way you can save yourself is by sacrificing yourself, putting yourself last, truly loving someone.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This movie tackles the idea that a true love\u2019s kiss can save you head-on and says, \u201cNo. You save you. Kisses will follow. But the kiss isn\u2019t the true love. There\u2019s so much more to love than a kiss.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I love this movie.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>catholicamputee: Can we just talk about this scene?
