Also, everyone's reaction to immediately capture Elsa, chain her up when she clearly was not trying to hurt anyone (if she was, she would have stayed in the town , not ran away and up on top of a mountain away from people) and not even try to talk to her or help her figure anything out seemed a bit baseless/mindless to me. I think any logically thinking human being would sit down with Elsa and try to calm her down and figure what was going on, try to get on her good side and make some sort of attempt rather than all the political heads just capturing her and running around mindlessly.
Mostly I'm just bothered by the Duke screaming "monster!"
It's not that I think that they couldn't be scared, it's just how mindless their reactions are. Of course, Lord of the Flies does exist...
Since Elsa is shown to use magic right in front of people, and does so in a rather incriminating way (she looks guilty about something, she turns a fountain into a clawed formation of ice, and seems to attack the Duke), people would be afraid.
And in every crowd, there's always that ONE rabble-rouser who has to incite panic or alarm. I thought the Duke's reaction was realistic for his character, and the crowd's reaction to his words and Elsa's behavior (confusion, moved to fear by Elsa's erratic behavior along with his cries of "MONSTER! SORCERY!") is very believable.
The annoying thing about the end of the movie, among other annoying things--- is the thing that Audreyfreak pointed out. How could such a superstitious group of inhabitants in Arendelle suddenly flip a switch and welcome Elsa back so warmly? That boggled my mind, and not in a good way. It made the ending even more what the bleep??? for me.
And agree with Audrey...That ending...Like it's not even the point of being realistic, but consistent.
But I think people would have accepted Elsa's powers if she made a speech and demonstrated she can control and make beautiful things with her power as well. Superstitious people do not necessarily only think magic can be a bad thing, folk tales (in which people actually used to believe) had fairies that did good. Her powers could have been seems as blessing as well.
I've heard that this movie probably takes place in the 18th century, but it almost seems as if this is pre-Christianized Scandinavia considering the King turned to a folklore book instead of say the bible or a priest first. They may have considered her a 'natural born' witch first before anything else, and I'm guessing they would've burned her at the stake.
Also, considering he just insulted the queen I think she could've had his head for this. There's a lot of unanswered questions to this movie because so little is explained and it bugs me.
