If all you have to do is “throw love” someone’s way to “bring out their best”, isn’t it hypocritical to say that Hans can never be redeemed? If Anna just loves him enough, would he get fixed? According to this song, yes. I think Hans is a tragic figure because he’s a consequence of being raised without love.
Hans is an irredeemable character, who doesn’t deserve love!! Nevermind the fact that he never had love in the first place. How many Frozen fans belt out against Hanna (or Helsa) shippers. Unfortunately, there is an underlying problem with this message and here it is:
A lot of people relate this verse back to Elsa, and I personally like that. What’s more, bringing it back and deliberately saying it can be platonic “Father! Sister! Brother! We need each other …” was a nice touch. But throw a little love their way and you’ll bring out their best.” It relates back to the theme of the movie, and this is always good. Next, Bulda sings of the abstract theme of the song, “People make bad choices when they’re mad or scared or stressed. Instead of what could have been a subtle and natural romance plot that culminates in the (Anna and the audience’s) stunning realization that “Kristoff loves me?” We get to roll our eyes at how far behind Anna is. So this scene was jarring in that respect. They fall in love over the course of the film. The point was it wasn’t love at first sight between them, it was very natural. It would have made the end seem more smooth without the obligatory love duet, since we’re already witnessing the natural progression of their relationship throughout the film. Starting simple, the purpose of Fixer Upper is to further reinforce the fact that Anna and Kristoff belong together ( further further reinforced in the following scene where Hans acts as Elsa’s hero, instead of Anna’s). While Fixer Upper is cute and catchy and has been stuck in my head for the past two weeks, there’s a lot wrong with how it fits within the narrative framework of Frozen.įixer Upper has some messages to get across, don’t get me wrong. I mean THIS is the scene that’s meant to be the big love duet for Kristoff and Anna? Fixer Upper is what stops Frozen from being completely perfect. I have a fairly large bone to pick with the Fixer Upper scene.
