"Let It Go"

I love this song so much. My kids love it too of course and indeed they will not let me say it is our song. It can only be their song, and only they are allowed to sing it.
Of course their are incredible things about this song  that really only an adult can understand, but most of the adults who I know have to hear this song all the time because of their kids seem to not notice the other meanings. For me these womanhood coming of age and into one's sexual power is what makes me love this song probably even more than my kids do.

Grace told me some guy wrote an article about how the movie promotes Lesbianism and Beastiality, the lesbianism being in Elsa because Elsa doesn't have a man. That makes no sense though because the womanly love is between biological sisters. It might be saying that sort of love, Sibling love, is really true love. (The same concept as the Chinese saying "wives are like clothing but brothers are like limbs" But that doesn't mean Guan Gung, Zhang Fei, and Liu Bei were gay) The beastiality thing I can see but it's just the trolls teasing Cristoph implying that he might be partners with Svens. It's a joke.

But Let it Go is about Elsa coming into her sexual power. But because she is not a normal person, but has the powers of a Snow Godess (she is the Snow Queen) her sexuality is manifested through her power. So if it is promoting an alternate sexuality, it is the tradition of mysticism where one kind find God through a marriage with God or the elements or the "Wind and Sky"

But Elsa is not finding God so much as her freedom and power.

Let's go through the whole sequence.

Anna, in an argument pulls off Elsa's glove, an item of clothing that conceals her power, or her alternate version of womanhood. Young girls have to control and conceal their womanhood once they begin to show signs of it (their menstrual cycle). Elsa is not a normal girl and was with born with special powers from a young age. When they became dangerous they decided she had to conceal them.

But her naked hand as an adult unleashes her power uncontrollably when she becomes emotional.

So she runs away to the mountain unknowingly causing disaster.

Here she sings and casts off her other glove and begins to experiment with her power, her special type of woman hood. She splashes snow flakes and creates a snowman with a twirl of her finger, just starting to toy with the idea of creating things. (Olaf is not alive in the song. But obviously later he does come to life. So at this point she is just toying with the idea of creating life (sex) but has not necessarily consummated this process yet.

She first casts of her inner moral structure because it has failed her. No right no wrong no rules for me.

Then she creates a stair case and sprints up, flying up the mountain over a deep chasm (a yonic symbol perhaps?)  binding in ecstasy with her power's potential and what she can be part of in nature ("I'm one with the wind and sky.")

She then creates her Castle, and the screen cuts back to see a very Phallic ice palace rising as an alternative to and out of the natural phallic symbol she is on (a mountain peak). Now comes the first few parts that I ever noticed about the song to be sexual and are the most obvious.
She casts of her crown and

Let's down her hair. These seems like nothing but it is significant in Western Culture, movies, and expressions for a woman becoming less uptight, prude, and perhaps losing her Virginity. Though still not yet so obvious.

She then changes her clothes right before our eyes and gains an obvious twitch to her hips as she struts across the floor in a power pose proclaiming "that perfect girl is gone."

I actually witnessed this in real life once (I was not the selected partner of this girl becoming a woman) and I am sure that countless people have seen particularly uptight and beautiful young women undergo this transformation. Probably most likely on Prom Night or something of that sort. Probably the reason why men have chased virginity for thousands of years was because they thought that somehow being present and part of this seemingly magical transformation, that some of the power would be transformed to them. There is some Taoist thing about having 999 virgins without releasing semen will gain you immortality... but I digress.


Elsa proclaims her power, "Here I stand in the Light of Day!" She is no longer a girl with special powers but a Goddess living on a mountain top whose heart isn't bothered by the cold (and though not addressed so much in the version of the movie that stayed.. with questionable morals.)


So this is all Sex though with her power, And there is disaster when it is uncontrollable because of fear.
And of course the way the living God finally comes back to us humans and fixes all of the problems is? Through Love. Through Anna's act of love.

"Anna what power do you have to stop me?" asks Elsa. Anna is completely normal. Except that she has a very powerful capacity to Love and in that way she is also special and has special powers. Her power is powerful enough to control Elsa's power. (So is Han's evil powers of trickery greed and power lust.) But Anna's love saves us all from Hans. Anna's True Love.

Anyway, Elsa is different and so her sexual power is different and her love is between her and her sister. But Love is different than Sex, powers and all that. These messages are all great and deal with complicated issues and the story and the song puts all of these things you need to tell your young daughters into a nice little movie. It's amazing. Anyway, I love the song, love the movie obviously I wrote about that in a past post.

Addition:


I saw this video on You tube of Marines (young men) watching this song and I was glad to see that they saw the significance of her letting her hair down too. Just watch their enthusiasm during that part of the song.
