Animated Oscar winner Frozen was a phenomenon, and in this channel’s opinion, deservedly so. For not only does it have great music, amazing characters, and a wonderfully subversive story, but its message is quite powerful. We all know Let It Go and its embrace-your-true-self statement, but the film as a whole goes much deeper than that. For Frozen is actually pretty radical, going against decades of storytelling to deliver a new message, one that contradicts almost everything said by Disney films of old.

Movies Under The Surface is a series of video essays that explores what makes great films great. The videos are about understanding movies at a deeper level, beneath plot and story, at their heart.

At its heart, Pulp Fiction is a film about redemption. And yet, despite being considered one of the greatest movies ever made, Pulp Fiction isn't about its heart in the same way other great films are. So what exactly is this film doing differently? And why does it - and Tarantino - get away with it?

Infinity War is not just a superhero movie, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe is no longer just a comic book franchise on film. For the ideas this film explores, tackling fate and free will, what it means to be human and live in our universe, are fundamental in storytelling. They are so fundamental that they’ve been explored from our beginnings all the way to the modern era; they’ve been and continue to be explored in religion, philosophy, mythology, and now also in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Best Picture winner The Hurt Locker is a polarizing film, with soldiers criticizing its accuracy and authenticity while film folks laud its cinematic achievements. But it is actually these achievements, specifically the meaning of the film, what it is saying and what it is about, that not only allow the film to stretch reality, but often require it to. The Hurt Locker isn’t meant to be an accurate depiction of Iraq because it is about something else entirely: it is about what was behind the Iraq War, why it happened, and why it turned out the way it did.
