Frozen

[Anna's sister, the queen, just turned the whole kingdom into an icy world. She has been helped to go find her sister who ran away after it happened by Kristoff.]

Finally, Disney understands the bad romance model they have shown people!  I am glad that Disney takes the time to explain the absurdity of falling in love, and getting married when you don't even know the person.  Kristoff's reaction is good when he learns about this woman who is doing something that seems so stupid.  First, love takes time to develop and grow, just like you don't see the plant when you first put it it the ground.  You have to wait to have it grow, and then you see if it took. The second aspect of this is that when we see people making poor decisions we have an obligation to point out the decision.  

Kristoff also asks, "Didn't your parents teach you not to trust strangers?"  Anna then slides away from Kristoff, no longer trusting him.  My question to Anna would be, do you really think that the man who reminds you of that rule is going to then not be trustworthy?  The very fact that Kristoff brings it up makes him more trustworthy because you know that you need to be wary of new relationships.  When we meet people we have to ask if the person is reasonable, or charming.  Hans is charming to Anna, which is how he is able to woo her so quickly, but Kristoff is reasonable, pointing out throughout the film inconsistencies in logic.  He is a man who takes what is in front of him and accepts it for what it is.  These are the types of friends that we need to find, ones that are reasonable, and those are the new people, "strangers," we need to trust. 

Lastly, Kristoff is humble by acknowledging that he himself does not possess love expertise, but he knows people who do.  This is how we ought to respond as Christians.  I am not  an expert, but I know Somebody who is.  We point to others, who are better than us in certain circumstances.  This does not mean that Kristoff thinks he is worthless, or being falsely modest, he is being true to what he knows:  "I have friends who know what love is, and they have shown me what it is to live."
