Who the hell cries during the entire movie when watching "Frozen?"


Seriously, this creature is fucked up.

She cried during the whole thing?

People were very emotional about Frozen for some reason. I never understood the appeal at all and I am so relieved that those Frozen movies were basically forgotten until you just brought it up. Let Frozen die already.

"Let it Go!"

I don't mind "Frozen," and the sequel was okay, but had a weak plotline. But I never felt like crying while watching it. I mean, I felt emotions while watching, don't get me wrong, most people do when watching a film of any kind. I mean, I felt happiness, sadness, amusement, and even awe. But it didn't move me enough to cry for any reason. I've watched movies that either nearly brought me to tears, or I truly did cry for real, but not with this specific one.

reply

Well I kind of figured out all that about you from your original post. You didn't have to repeat yourself. Just saying.

reply

Actually, I can't think of any Disney movies that have made me cry, even the ones with really emotional scenes in them. In fact, the movies that made me cry or come close to it were live-action ones not made by Disney.

reply

There's at least 3 Disney animated movies that made me cry. I didn't cry throughout like the woman you were talking about. There were just a few scenes.

Which live action movies make you cry?

reply

I came close to crying at the start of the 2009 "Star Trek" film, when Kirk's dad sacrificed himself, and he was born at the same time while his mom and much of the crew were fleeing Nero's attack in shuttles. I felt like crying because that kid was going to grow up never knowing the heroic dad he had just lost.

"The Notebook" literally made me cry at the end, and I couldn't bring myself ever to watch it again. "Somewhere In Time" does that to me as well.

There's always been a hidden man hating element to Frozen and if you're crying you must be too dumb to realize a majority of Disney movies have always been made for girls. You are not oppressed.

reply

Leslye Headland read into the story as accepting gay people. She is a gay woman who grew up in the 80s and 90s, two decades where it was extremely uncool to be gay, and she was overwhelmed with the "hidden message" she thought the movie had about her sexuality. Ironically, I don't think most gay people actually cried when watching this, and after hearing that she was the former assistant to a monster like Harvey Weinstein (including no doubt procuring desperate, aspiring actresses for him to screw over), the crying thing lends credence to her malignant mental instability.

reply

Yeah I've remembered the hoopla around Frozen as they thought it was secretly gay. Not enough to cry over.

reply

You don't have to be gay to have a serious personal trait that's humiliating and/or could get you in serious trouble with society. Just look at Christians over in China or the Middle-East.

Plus, not all the men in the movie were bad. Kristoff was nice, as were most of the men in Arendelle. It's just that most people think of Hans or that asshole with the mustache who called Elsa a monster.

Recently saw an episode of Family Feud where the survey question was "Name a Disney movie with a scene that made you cry".

Frozen was one of the answers. Little Mermaid, Toy Story & Lion King were up there. I don't really get those, either. I think people were just naming the 1st movie that came to mind.

Old Yeller, Bambi & Dumbo were answers that made sense to me.

reply

I've always thought the ending of Beauty and the Beast can make you teary eyed.

reply

It made me happy in a way that lasts for a few hours afterwards :D That kind of, satisfactory joy you feel when everything turned out great for the characters, and the story was good enough you want to watch it again later.

reply

It actually ended like a true fairytale and it was worthy of its Best Picture nomination. I don't think any animated movie has been nominated for BP since.

reply

I totally agree on that point :)

I think it was cruel fate that "Silence of the Lambs" got the Best Picture Oscar over "Beauty and the Beast." If we'd had the "Best Animated Feature" Oscar available at the time, it wouldn't have been a contest at all. It's one of the few things I would thank Mike Myers for.

reply

I think I could get "Lion King," considering the scene where poor Simba was trying to get his dad to "wake up," when in fact his dad was dead, and he witnessed the tragedy as such a young age.

The others don't bring tears to most people's eyes. Not unless you're talking about "Toy Story 3." I heard fans of the first two films teared up at the ending the third one had.

reply

I guess I can see that. But I always saw that scene as more about Scar being menacing than the loss of Mufasa.

reply

That was another part that makes the scene hit so hard. I mean, a little lion cub just lost his dad in a tragic murder, his uncle tricks him into thinking it was all his fault, and then the uncle tries to murder that same cub, all in cold blood. It first breaks your heart and then makes you want to kill Scar as much as Simba did when he finally realized what his uncle had done years later.
