The lyrics to Let It Go work well as code for coming out of the closet.

And her meltdown is caused by the idea of a forced marriage.

IMO, that is reading way too much into the movie. - groiny Dec 6, 09:21 13
- That's how subtext works though. It's ambiguous to a lot of people, but speaks very clearly to others. -- nm - Roger More Dec 6, 09:34

  - yeah, well you are talking to someone who completely missed that in First Class as well. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 6, 09:26 9

        even then, it didn't really start until X2 and was subtle there. X3 is when it really came out - zork Dec 6, 09:38 2
