I have a feeling that everyone who watches Frozen is responsible for a writeup, and I watched it over two months ago, so my post is way past due - since, as usual, I left it for later, again and again. This is ironic, since procrastination allowed me to connect to the movie in the first place.
When I watched Frozen the first time through, I did not find the older sister, Elsa, to be a likable character. After all, she literally ran away from her responsibilities as Queen, deserting the people she was supposed to lead, and scorned her younger sister's help. Then, I realized what her actions reminded me of: my own procrastination.
Often, when I receive an unwanted task (study for the exam! fix the program! write a Frozen review!), I would avoid even thinking about it - I would turn on the computer, and furiously refresh Twitter to get away from the burden at hand. But no matter how much I refreshed, the guilt from the unfinished task would still burn on my mind - leading me to try to distract myself harder, creating a rather vicious cycle.
I found I can sympathize with her: I know a little bit of how it feels when one tries to avoid dealing with a situation, and, hey, it took her less time to return to the kingdom and face what she had done than for me to break out of my own cycle and write this post up, so I can't judge :)
