I actually thought that all of that was because of the confidence that she has after being free. She's declaring her freedom in a fashionable way...
I hate how a lot of people treat literary characters as role models who are supposed to teach their children lessons. They don't treat them like fictional characters. I saw the movie, I noticed the walk, and the "too much" leg showing, but I just brushed it off. She's just a character, she can act whatever way she wants. If I had a daughter who walked like that, I would obviously tell her to stop walking like that, but I wouldn't blame the movie.. It's my responsibility as a parent to make sure that my child learns the right messages from movies. How would they learn if something is bad if we don't tell them? Does a movie have to be to tell them?
When I was a kid, my parents would let us watch The Little Mermaid, but they made damn sure that we understood that it was wrong for Ariel to go around swimming in a Bra. They didn't blame disney for it.
Second, Why does Elsa have to be feminist? So what if she has ice powers, she's still a fragile girl. Oh, I'm gonna start complaining now because Elsa was running away the entire movie instead of attacking other people. Jeez...
She's a girl, let her act like a girl for crying out loud!
).
I mean, I'm no genius, but at the beginning of the song, Elsa is still under the pressure of trying to "be the good girl she always has to be." Her clothes are restricting and she doesn't let her personality show. By the end of the song, she's wearing a dress that she made and shows off parts of her personality she's had buried for years. It's about learning to love yourself and not holding back. That's pretty feminist, in my opinion.
Hilariously bad opinion piece is hilariously bad. Well, not bad, just HIGHLY misinformed,
