Love the reaction. Please do ARCANE for more emotional rollercoaster. I'm 💯 sure this show is worth your time, considering (I definitely know) you appreciate GREAT STORYTELLING. PS: it has another great performance from Hailee Steinfeld.
The miracles were to protect them from the outside danger. Like those men on the horses. So super hearing makes sense. But since nothing dangerous happened they have to adapt and started helping the village.
Hey Jess. Great video. You gotta watch and react to the new Moon Knight trailer. It’s freaking amazing 🤩
Детерминизм это Свобода 🤙 🤙
I cred in dos odcita
There is one single shot that shook me more than any other in the entire movie... during the final retelling of the grandmother's story, the look of absolute and utter loss and grief on her face when Pedro was killed. That was the most absolute depiction of despair I have ever seen in any animated media.
yeah it was heartbreaking
especially cause at the beginning of the movie, she wasn't crying that hard
Have you seen Wandavision? It kind of reminds me of that moment
@@mrpatmichele yeah, you can definitely see the difference, at the beginning the death wasn't so detailed because Mirabel was too young, and it makes the retelling more heartbreaking
That grieving moment speaks volumes for colombian identity, and i can´t believe they actually addressed it on an animated movie located in Colombia, on a subtle yet honest and respectful way. More than the music and the food and the expressions, the history through loss and grief but the courage to endure is a great defining trait of colombian people.
In surface pressure Luisa constantly protects Mirabel and straightens her glasses it so cute!
I noticed that and it makes me cry more, as much as I personally relate to Luisa (and multiple other characters) she reminds me of my oldest sister. My oldest sister is more like a mom to me, and sometimes I feel guilty for that. She’s only five years older than me. And when I was 8 we went from 4 kids to 8, her being the oldest. She took care of so much. And she still feels like she can’t open up about it. And now she’s still being a caretaker. She’s housing my aunt who has cancer who has guardianship of our 7 year old cousin. She’s literally a parent right now to this little girl because she has to be. She’s coparenting with my cousin who’s a little older than my sister but they’ve grown up together and live together and it’s her mom that’s staying with them. And this 7 year old girl is troubled. She’s great, I would adopt her in a heartbeat. But she’s vulgar. She knows more than she should and doesn’t understand. She needs a lot of help. She’s inappropriate. But also sweet. We all love her so much. But my sister is always taking on these burdens. She’s always a mom when she never had kids! I think this movie is great at introducing the absolute complexity of having a large family and being one of the oldest. I wish I could help her more.
Yes, I noticed that too. It's good to see they're close. I like after the song when Mirabel hugs Luisa because their height difference makes it cute
Luisa is a wonderful character, plus I've seen a lot of people really happy to see more variety in the design and voice of female characters, hers being lower and her build being very muscular and strong, so not only is she just a great character but for people looking for representation she's great also.
@@SunBeeSmoked mann that's alot
@@lightofeyezz lol yeah sorry, this movie makes me think of some heavy issues.
"I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service" Is the saddest and most relatable line in the movie for me. It's what every breadwinner feels specially for families who literally expect you to carry their burden. Especially for Asian families, who thinks of their child as some sort of a retirement plan...
I find that Mirabel and her sisters represent well the role that each child has in their family : the eldest must set an example, the youngest is the one that parents often overprotect, and the one in the middle looks for a way to stand out from the two others
I’m fully in the “Mirabel will take Abuela’s place as head of the family” camp. At the beginning when the house first came to life it waved at Abuela. When they fixed it, it waved at Mirabel.
I agree, but with one caveat: Mirabel at the start of the film is ALREADY the focus/carrier of the family's magic, she just doesn't realize it until the very end. Throughout the film, the cracks and damage to the house and the fluctuating powers always reflect Mirabel's troubled moods and emotions, not Abuela's. It's her devastation at Abuela's rejection that fully breaks the spell, and the open love and acceptance of her family at the final door opening that finally heals it.
frozen 2
SAME
@@plucas1 another evidence of this is that Mirabel is the only other person that the house obeys, and Alma (the grandmother) doesn’t have any powers either
@@plucas1 also look at antonios door vs all the other doors. in the pictures they are all kids standing in front of the doors, but the doors are their adult idealized silhouette full of expectation of what they will become, but antionio gets his door from Mirabel, and its just him as he is, no expectations.
We don’t talk about Bruno was a bop and love it how during the song Dolores was the only one not to talk shit on him and even went on to defend him on how hard it is to have his gift
OMG Same I know right Dolores is a Total Queen.❤️💖😁✌️👌.
Probably bcus she knew he didn't actually leave
Also, when Dolores is singing, in the background you can see Bruno walking around on the second story, and vibing to the music. I don't know if it's confirmed that that was Bruno, or just Camilo as Bruno, but I personally like to think that it is him.
@@sobexz7769 that’s also why she whispered her song, because for her he’s very close
@@cameronbrown7535 i’ve heard it’s confirmed to Bruno and yes I think he’s in the back jamming because it’s the only good part of the song that’s about him lol
Also to explain why Mirabel still wears glasses despite her mom’s power is because her mom didn’t see her eyes as a problem or something that needed to be healed she just went it’s apart of who she is which is why her husband still wears glasses
That's a sweet theory but actually Julietta can only cure injuries and things caused by the environment, not naturally occurring things like bad vision or old age
@@Drowningindisappointment actually Jared Bush confirmed it himself that she can heal anything but chooses not to heal her husband and daughter’s eyes
@Mynameisirrelevant Jared Bush confirmed it himself she can heal anything she chooses not to fix their eyesight I said it on another comment
I just like to think that eyes problems are incurable. Like, we progressed a lot with technology in real life and still... some problems aren't solvable. myopia, hyperopia etc, they're just part of you
@Mynameisirrelevant I think he confirmed it on Twitter in reply to someone’s question, I tried to send the link but it’s not showing up, sorry!
“Who else cried their way through” I WAS SOBBING, ACTUAL GASPING FOR AIR THE *FUCKING DOORKNOB*
THE DOORKNOB MAN THAT H U R T
@@song-feather1623 AHHHHHHHHHH
I was embarrassed by how many tears I shed behind this movie. Seriously. I’m currently looking for a therapist. Damn you and thank you Disney
*w e n e e d a d o o r k n o b*
I laughed so hard when you said the fucking door knob
I have NOT stopped listening to We Dont Talk About Bruno or any of the songs. I’m obsessed with this movie. Also, Dolores and Camillo are my fav
I am obsessed with the Bruno song
OMG Same me and my brother literally know all of the lyrics to we don't talk about Bruno such a great movie 10 Star's.❤️💖😁✌️👌.
Someone: what are you thinking about My mind: 🎶wE dON’t TAlk aBOut BRUNOOOOO🎶
Dolores is my favorite too, I was kinda bummed out that she doesn't have her own Funko pop.
Who knew Alex Wilder could sing?
Dolores absolutely knew Bruno was still there. She said as much during 'We Don't Talk About Bruno'. "I can always hear him sort of muttering and mumbling."
Plus “I associate him with the sound of falling sand *tiss* *tiss* *tiss*” is most likely from him throwing salt over his shoulders
She references him twice in the song. "He told me that the man of my dreams would be just out of reach, betrothed to another. I can hear him now." "Him" could either be Mariano or Bruno, but I like to think it's a nod to Bruno.
@@halaflora it's most likely Mariano bc Dolores does mention that he "talks loud" and she listens to him and in the end of the movie she says "I hear you"
I think she heard something but wasn't sure and was doubting herself. That's why she never said anything.
@@halaflora I mean she says it twice, who says it can't be both
As a fellow Hispanic, this film hits on so many cultural experiences that brought me to tears. Specifically, the confrontation that Mirabel has with Abuela at the end of the second act, and the heart-shattering realization that nothing she can do will ever be enough. Also, the quickness with which families disown and discard members that are portrayed as pariahs for not abiding some false narrative the family perpetuates. So much potent generational trauma, and this movie navigates it expertly. Hence why I love Mirabel and Bruno so darn much. This movie means the world to me.
Also the fact how the senior generation of immigrants and marginalized groups sacrificed so much of their life and self to give their family a good life making them stern and stony esecially hits close to him for us here. I have a grandmother who is mean, scary and hard to deal with but she is also a 70 year old woman with a heart disease who STILL does physical freaking farmwork just to provide for our family.
@@keithredacted8154 Agreed, I love the nuance of seeing both the strengths and flaws of a character like Abuela. And how it eschews having a typical villain by making one of the chief antagonists the unspoken, untreated familial trauma.
They live in a house that's crumbling down, filled with rats and animals, holding three generations of the same family under the same roof, all of the family members have anxiety and at least one member of the family was killed during sociopolitical turmoil. It's as latinoamerican as you can get (I know it because i live here too xD)
They actually considered Mirabel’s voice actress, Stephanie Beatriz, for Luisa because of her role as Rosa on Brooklyn Nine Nine, but changed their minds when they found out that she’s much more chipper in real life. Speaking of Luisa, one of the character designers tweeted that they really had to fight for her to be as muscular as she is in the movie
She could've voiced both characters and it would've still worked as her Rosa voice is so different from her real voice. Stephanie Beatriz is awesome, I love her and she's such a versatile actress. But I thought Jessica Darrow was great, Luisa sounded so unique and I love her as Luisa.
I'm literally so shook that Mirabel is Rosa. What???
@@BigScottyMcCreeryFan Yes, Beatriz' natural voice has a higher pitch than her Rosa voice; you can hear it in very early episodes of B99 like the Pilot, in interviews and in "In the Heights"
@@najhoant wait she was in "in the heights" too? Who'd she play?
@@BigScottyMcCreeryFan Carla, the one who sings "I always say I'm from Queens"
A few thoughts: I'm on board with the head-canon that the house is Abuelo reincarnated. Bruno's exile was self-imposed, but how long after he was gone did people start talking about him like he was the boogieman and a disgrace that "we don't talk about him"? No wonder he never came back.
It started before he left. Maybe not so blatant but it definitely had him as an outcast and the one that you avoided
Yeah there's a lesson there about how the things you say about people when they're not around matter.
I think people just associated bad news with him because the future that he saw was always bad news, so since he was gone they are like let's just not talk about him
@@sethwandji9543 Ah but that's the irony of the song. He's the guy you're not supposed to talk about but he's the one guy EVERYONE talks about... all the damn time, but like Camillo, it's also rumor and bad news, like his gift was actually a curse and it turned him into a monster
He never left. He was never more than few feet from them.
I love how Antonio tells Mirabel "I wish you got a door" not a gift but a door because he loves her just the way she is
So like, are we going to talk about when any of the Madrigals feel certain emotions it effects their powers, but when Mirabel is upset it effects Casita?? The cracks are connected to HER because THEYRE A MANIFESTATION OF HER PAIN
Good theory, I feel like Mirabel is supposed to be the successor to Grandma and will Hold the candle when she passes away. She doesn't have any powers either btw.
@@AlbertoMartinez765 Yeah that too!
@@AlbertoMartinez765 Yeah, my theory is that her door disappearing is a sign that the entire house is her magic room.
I feel like the cracks are more about the family splitting apart, and this manifests most obviously with Mirabel since she's the most openly "othered" by certain members of her family (esp abuela)
@@AlbertoMartinez765 Abuela don't have power ? I was thinking she can "show the past" to other, like in the begining. She shows to young Mirabel who she get the candle but, you know, like a story, with some changes. And in the end, she shows her the real story, that's why Mirabel is here when Abuelo get killed, and see the despair on her grandma's face. Well, this is what I was thinking. Don't know if it's correct. Abuela got a room, and I think Casita is all Mirabel's room. But I kinda feel she's a "family reunion bringer", her power is to protect family no matter what. And yeah, possibly the heir of this candle.
Bruno resembles his father. He's selfless, loves his family enough to separate himself from them and 'sacrifice' himself if that means that his family would be happy. Just like his father did. He was ready to take the blame of the house falling apart, so Mirabel wouldn't turn into him
As a Colombian 21 year old I've ugly-cried every time I get to the song in Spanish where you see the conflict take the Grampa but the more I watched the movie, the more other parts made me cry, like Luisa's song or Isabella's struggle, or the fact that Bruno has been living in the walls with rats, so I am now a mess hahaha
23 year old Colombian and same, but I ven cried with the cultural references, I cried seeing the kids playing with chispitas mariposa, even if they are illegal now and for a good reason, but the nostalgia was making me cry, and the forced displacement, luckily as far as I am concerned no one in my direct family has gone through it, but I have heard many stories about it, and my dad worked as a doctor for the military on field, going from dangerous region to dangerous region, and just like the madrigals I never got to meet any of my grandfathers and grew up in a very matriarcal family, where I saw my grandfathers as pictures on walls, who I know made sacrifices and helped build the family I have today, it's not something exclusively Colombian but something I related to.
dos oruguitas is very amazing
Btw, I feel like Dolores tried to say that she heard Bruno on the walls but they never really believed it or something like that. But she did tried to say it to Mirabel because in we don't talk about Bruno she was talking in the present "I can always hear him..."
I also feel like she wasn't always sure it was him, since he left when she was still just a little girl. I think at this point is when she realized for sure that it was Bruno that she had been hearing. Edit: by "at this point" I meant at the very end when Dolores says "I knew he never left, I heard him every day".
@@cameronbrown7535 yeah, he's been gone ten years ago she would have been around 11 or 12
She sings I can always hear him kind of muttering and mumbling. She's also mentions the rats. Which we know he is in the walls talking with. And even more than not believing her I doubt they'd let her get that far. I'm sure the minute she said Bruno, someone tells her we don't talk about Bruno. And eventually she just stops trying to tell them
@@cameronbrown7535 yeah that makes total sense!
later in the song (when all the voices start to layer together) she literally says "It's like I hear him now....I can hear him now!"
Loki: Classic Loki faked his death and went into exile because he didn’t want to hurt people and spent years missing his brother Encanto: Bruno had a vision and went into hiding because he wanted to protect people and spent years missing his family
Mirabel doesn't get her own room. Each room is specifically designed around the person's gift and Casita doesn't have any power inside those rooms but Mirabel's gift is Casita itself. It breaks when she's breaking, it heals when she's healing. Just like Louisa's power wane based on her self-worth, Casita's state is based around Mirabel's. She can't have a room inside Casita because Casita is her room, it's also why her door vanished; it was the front door and you can't have the front door inside the house. That's why if you look at the front door when it appears at the end it has everyone on it but not all together. Mirabel is in front of everyone and her image is glowing. It's her door, the reason everyone is on it is because that's what her gift is based around. Louisa felt the need to be strong so she got strength, Antonio loved animals so he could communicate with them; Mirabel only ever wanted to support and be supported by her family so her gift is the Casita that does exactly that.
I have a theory, since the miracle dying is Abuela's fault, that Abuela is to blame for Mirabel not getting her gift. Abuela became too focused on the miracle itself and holding the family to expectations to "earn" their gifts and be of use. I think when Camillo got his gift of shape-shifting Abuela might have thought "how is this useful?" so a few months later when it was Mirabel's turn she was focused on hoping Mirabel gets a "good" gift that would be useful. That she would "make her family proud." Like you see in the flashback when she gets to Mirabel's door she says she "forgot who the miracle was for." Also why Antonio got his gift, I think, is A. Abuela was just hoping it would work and he would get a gift, and wasn't thinking about if it would be "useful" or not. and B. Mirabel was there. She was there for him, supporting him, and expecting nothing from him except a "gift as amazing as he is" and he would enjoy. She literally walks him to his door. So if the miracle is based on family connection, Mirabel being there was enough for Antonio to get his gift. Also if she is Abuela's successor she would've fulfilled that role of the ritual, without realizing it.
@@fightingfaerie yes, this! and once Antonio gets his gift you can even hear Abuela say "I'm sure we'll find a way to put his gift to good use", already thinking of how it could benefit the community and totally disregarding the childish wonder with which Antonop accepts his gift. It's true that once a gift turns into a responsibility, it becomes a burden instead, especially if that responsibility has been forced upon you. One more thing i also noticed, when the house was cracking big time and everyone was fumbling to get to the candle, all the grandkids employed their powers to get to it faster (Camilo shapeshifting into a taller man and Isabela shooting out vines and ropes) but the only one who actually got to the candle in the nick of time was Mirabel, because she asked casita for help. Through the movie, she's the only one comfortable enough to ask for help and relying on her family (asking Luisa to tell her what she's nervous about, Dolores about what she heard, using Antonio's room to see Bruno's vision, trying to make amends with Isabela to hug etc) and in doing so she not only helps herself, but also those around her. That's why casita helped only her to save the miracle, sometimes in helping others we can finally see our own worth and by giving advice, we can make us see our own struggles clearer.❤
@@fightingfaerie Camilo's gift is not useless at all, exhibit A. a mom is tired and needs a break, Camilo shifts into that mom and takes care of the baby, if you analyze his character he carries a burden too. he constantly has to be someone else. in my opinion the most useless gift was Isabela's all she did was make things pretty, that's it. but I understand your theory nonetheless
I LOVE this movie, while I am not Colombian (born and grew up in Peru) I got some of the references from the culture here and there (I laughed at the "Miercoles" the dad says after is revealed Dolores heard everything). As the older sibling I was able to relate to Luisa's song and as an immigrant, I felt Abuela's struggle (sure, they were displaced due to the violence that still happens in places in Latin America). I cired...I truly cried with this movie. And the music is great.....EVERY SONG IS GREAT!
That Miercoles made me laugh so hard 😂
Encanto shows a lot of different Colombian regional cultures, and as a born and raised bogotana I felt this "Miércoles" represented me so clearly. My whole family laugh loudly in the theater.
@@johannagarzon9313 yup Bogotana too, and the Ajiaco dinner, it was weird they served it with wine though, at least on my family it is a weird combination.
@@patax144 ngl it is a weird combination, or like, having Ajiaco for dinner s not usual in my family, its only for lunch
@@patax144 Yep, super weird combination. Don't recommend 😂😂
It just hit me. The reason Dolores never told the family about Bruno living in the house is probably because she wasn’t sure what Abuela would do…so it was out of fear she kept it hidden
I'm Colombian, and this movie felt like a beautiful representation of the diversity or my country. Abuela's story was so touching to me because it's based on real violence a lot of families have experienced here.
I'm curious about one thing. Children really drink coffee in Columbia ? (I'm french)
@@a.g.demada5263 yes, children tend do drink coffee at an early age, but not black always with milk. They made it as a joke, because every person gets curious about the fact. I'm a grown up now, and still only drink my coffee with milk, black really does not taste well to me hehehe. (I am colombian btw)
@@JULITORODMA same, I still drink coffee with milk, can't stand tinto, but my cousin's wife who is from the pacific told me her grandma gave her black coffee as a kid, when we were discussing the movie, so I guess it depends on the region and generation.
I love how supportive the fathers are in the movie, despite not having powers they really love their parteners, special attention to Felix who loves his wife so much that even being married in a hurricane can't put a damper on how happy he wwas that day, and how just him being around can help calm Pepa's anxiety and mood.
I also love how Augustin ALWAYS supports and defends Mirabel, and all of his daughters. After the disastrous dinner, his biggest concern is Luisa running off crying. Later, when Abuela is telling off Mirabel, she says something like "this is my family" and he says "and that's MY daughter!" and it's just incredible to see him be so supportive and loving and even standing up to the matriarch of not only the family, but the whole town, who's also his mother-in-law, just to defend his daughter when she's being mistreated. I just love Augustin.
Abuelas backstory is sad but the scene that really got me was when the community came together to rebuild casita. The idea that ordinary people with no special powers can work together to improve the lives of others is so powerful.
Also, a house is only as strong as its foundations. They had to rebuild on healthier and stronger basis. And the community is giving back , helping a family who's been helping them for decades without ever asking anything in return. It's beautiful.
I loved that scene too, as the community showed gratitude and appreciation for all that the Madrigals had done for them over the years.
Ok but like the ENTIRE family is iconic, fun and amazing. Imo this is one of the best Disney movies!
'Dos Oruguitas' the part where Abuela tells her story, makes me cry every time and ive watched the movie like 5 times now 😂
As a Colombian, this movie captured it FLAWLESSLY. The accuracies of the culture, how quick people are to disown or disregard what they deem as irregular or uncomfortable. The need for change. But also just the feel of the musical numbers were beautiful.
As a Colombian this movie broke me, you can tell they did their research in some many things, like when Mirabel points with her mouth or when Agustín says miércoles, it made me cry so much! Don't get me started in the accurate representation on the Colombian civil war and how it still affects families today
Dear god, as a Colombian, this movie made me bawl my eyes out since the beginning (I even teared up watching the trailer lol), and I love the fact that this movie shows our culture and all the emotions so well, specially when we see Abuela's side of the story and her flashback. For 70 years, our communities have been displaced by violence and wars (and it still happens 'til this very day) and a lot of our ancestors were murdered, and despite all of that, we kept fighting to survive. A fun fact is that the place where Mirabel and Abuela bonded actually exists in Colombia, it's called Caño Cristales, it's a river that has seven colors in it, a lot of families and communities were there while running for their lives. There's a million other references like this in the movie, and it just made me proud of my roots and my country, so i'm so happy you reacted to it!
The songs in this film are such a bop but also filled with emotion, it’s crazy.
I love to see that you reacted to this!!! I'm not Colombian but I'm from Brasil and any latin representation makes me so happy and proud, Lin is the best! The songs are just so good!! And yes, cried like 5 times in this movie 😅
The scene in Abuela's retelling where you really see the true impact of her grief and the miracle bursts out of her honestly gives me serious WandaVision vibes.
You're one of the few actually pointing out the little reunion between Bruno, Pepa and Julieta. It's nice that he returns to the family in general, but seeing these siblings, these TRIPLETS, finally reunite after 10 years apart is so heart-warming. I especially love their faces as he walks in.
Remember, until Mirabel found it, no one knew what was in Bruno's vision. Literally all they knew is abuela asked him to help, he went upstairs and then disappeared. It is understandable that they thought he betrayed them in some way, and that is why, though they probably missed him, they were all so angry at him and that is how they dealt with their grief by refusing to talk about him except in the odd angry outburst. The minute you see Aunt Peppa and the look on her face when she sees Bruno again, you know she really wasn't all that mad at him ever because she is the first to run to and embrace him. It was probably all out of grief.
I feel like the reason Dolores kept Bruno’s secret about living in the walls yet told Mirabels secret at dinner was because she ALSO knew Isabelas secret that she DIDNT wanna get married so she said something to “ruin” the engagement
Great point
Your empathy for the characters was very sweet.
I love how the glass picture of Bruno's vision of Mirabel shows the house perfect and whole from one angle and cracked and broken from the other. Perfect representation of the family, but in the center of both is Mirabel, she is the heart of the house and the magic.
i saw it three days ago and i’ve already watched it twice, We Don’t Talk About Bruno is stuck in my head constantly
This movie is everything to me I've seen it three times and I've told all of my friends to watch it
11:28 fun fact: in the song We Don't Talk About Bruno, Dolores saying "I associate him with the sound of falling sand" refers to Bruno throwing salt everywhere 😂
During Dolores's part in We Don't Talk about Bruno, Bruno was just vibin in the background
Where ????
@@a.g.demada5263 Right when Dolores sayS "Do you understand?" You can faintly see Bruno on the second floor bobbing head his head in the background.
@@a.g.demada5263 1:01-1:07 and 1:13-1:15 on this video. Look at the second floor, the green glow. The second set, while shorter, are far clearer and show Bruno rockin' out to the song. kzhead.info/sun/ldqQgrF5jGiMYJs/bejne.html
@@DeepSchist are you sure it wasn't juste Camilo on Bruno's form ?
Dolores (hearing girl) actually did say that she hears Bruno, the time when she says that the rats are talking in the walls and in We Don’t Talk About Bruno she says “I CAN always hear him sort of muttering and mumbling” she says that in present tense, so I feel like she can’t keep it a secret but she really wants to so she tells people in very subtle ways so that she can tell these secrets without anybody knowing.
during "we don't talk about Bruno" you can see Bruno sneaking around in Dolores's solo and even he thinks it's a bop
Maybe because she's not directly slandering him
"She's gonna be the glue that holds the family together". I think you nailed it. That was her gift from the beginning.
You know what I just realized? You could technically say that Casita’s destruction could’ve been a manifestation of the Madrigals breaking it’s heart.
I feel this movie on so many levels and can I honestly relate to different parts of a lot of the characters I also love how they didn’t make a villain in the story the grandma was really just so traumatized by her past that she was hyper focused on ensuring that her family would never go through it again taking for granted all the pressure she was putting on them because of those expectations
The reason why the hero didn’t get any powers is because she she is the next protector of the candle after her grandma and you remember in the last scene of the movie the magic came back from her putting the knob in its place that may be mean that she became the source of magic instead of the candle that could confirm my theory that she the next guardian of the candle after her grandma and because she make them realize that they were using magic in the wrong way but she fixed it in the end despite her Abuela.
I cried my way through as well you’re not alone 😂😭
I find Abuela Alma's flashback the hardest moment of the movie, and in the same way the cheerful songs help to build the story, the message in Dos Oruguitas (The flashback song) is also meaningful, but this one goes unnoticed because it is in spanish (even so, you can feel the whole vibe). I invite you all to look for the lyrics an repeat that scene... more tears are in the way.
Great reactions! And yeah, as a 57 year old man, I cried my way through this this one. Yes, it is SUCH a good movie. And a great commentary on the expectations we put on ourselves and those around us. Burn out is real, and needs to be addressed. THANK YOU for noticing Cassita told Luisa to put her feet up! I've seen several reactions and no one has mentioned it, but I think it's the payoff shot for so much of the story! Keep up the good work! Love it!
Dolores definitely could actually hear Bruno. In We Don’t Talk About Bruno, she’s like “it’s like I hear him now, it’s like I hear him now, I CAN HEAR HIM NOW” Edit: I cried several times lol. Loved the reaction!
OH. OH. You wanna get messed up? Watch Dolores' section of the song again and pay attention to the background. Bruno literally walks by upstairs while she is singing. He even stops to dance along to the song before Camillo takes over.
You can see him in the shadows of some scenes too.
I believe she kept moving Meribel so she wouldn't see Bruno
Being Colombian and seeing that people speak wonders about this film makes me proud of what we are as a society, helping each other in the most difficult moments, and all the references of my country in this film were perfect. And yeah, I also cried when Mirabel reconciled with her Abuela, besides that song is wonderful too, actually all the songs are. Greetings from Colombia parcera 😃🇨🇴
Theres one thing I didn’t even realize until now, Isabelas color scheme doesn’t match her family’s until the end of the movie when she turns her dress blue. Like Pepa’s side wears yellow, Bruno wears green, Abuela is this magenta burgundy color and Julieta’s side is teal and blue but Isabela was this bright purple pink until the end. In addition to this Mirabels skirt is her main family’s color but she covers her clothes in everyone elses color with embroidery. Mirabel is trying so hard to fit in and Isabela is trying so hard to stand out and been seen as perfect until the end. Also Dolores has a lot of red in her outfit a color associated with love. There is SO much detail in this movie.
For Bruno I feel like his “visions” weren’t him looking into the future but making obvious predictions like the guy grew a guy because he eats a lot and the guy lost his hair because his hair was falling out in his teens
@THE ALMIGHTY C H E E S E 😂
Encanto is such a special movie to me. My step-family is Colombian so it holds a special place just for that. But also because I relate to Mirabel on a personal level. Her treatment as falling into an awkward spot in her family that leads her to getting overlooked or dismissed or forgotten about is similar in some ways to how I fall in my family: too American for the German side, too American for the Colombian side, and a 6th wheel when I visit my dad and stepmom and their family (separated parents deal). I love them, and I know they love me, but sometimes it can feel like you just don’t belong and working through that to grow closer to your family is an ever changing and ever lasting task but can be so rewarding in the end. Also Encanto is the only movie that made me laugh, then cry, then laugh, then cry back to back like that within the first 10-15 minutes when I first saw it. That definitely means something at least.
I see what you mean. Me, I'm the eldest but I have ASD suspicion and my sisters don't really accept this
I love that Mirabel's door probably disappeared back when she was a child because her fate was to be the keeper of Casita, so her door is actually the front door. Her gift is basically being the soul of the family, and she's so connected with the house. More so than Abuela ever was. And speaking of Abuela. I understand that she felt pressure, etc. But I'm not ready to forgive her for her behaviour. She literally ostracised Mirabel for not being "special". To the point where she's not in any of the family pictures. No wonder the house decided to fall apart. The magic was a gift for her family, but she took it for granted and put way too much pressure on everyone to deserve it. Just think how, if any of them had been allowed to be vulnerable, they would have a proper grip on it. The parallels between Elsa trying to suppress her ice magic and Pepa doing the same with her "clear skies". This movie is amazing! And while I can sympathise with her trauma, Abuela does not deserve to be let off the hook. Emotionally abusing your family because you're afraid to lose control of your sense of perfection is not okay
HOLY CRAP The Front Door never occurred to me brilliant!
We don't forgive the other person because they "deserve" it. We forgive because it's the only way to heal our relationship with them. And for mirabel, her relationship with grandma is worth healing. The whole point is no one ever deserve forgiveness. It's a gift.
@@vickylikesthis THIS 🙌🏾
I still very much hate Abuela
When Mirabel saw the butterfly she understood what her mission was: getting Abuela Alma to step into the river where part of her soul died 50 years ago. Telling her she was the reason the house and the family were breaking was good, telling her she was also the reason the family and the town were saved was also good. Calling the bad behavior but also the accomplishments made Alma a better person. Remember, she is still the Matriarch, and the family isn't ready to be without her. Alma went to the river for the first time since her husband died and accepted that it was time to let her pain and anxiety go away and to see how much her children and grandchildren loved her and that they were going to be alright, without powers. Maybe you're not ready to forgive the people who hurt you (I haven't either) but nothing is black or white. ps: she's not in the family picture because Mirabel didn't want it, not because of Abuela. The milagro was created by Abuela, she's the keeper and the next one is Mirabel. Abuela never pressured her family to deserve it, she pressured them to be perfect and do whatever it takes for the family and town. This happens a lot in immigrant families.
The fact you were able to figure out the whole plot of the movie in the first few minutes is just spot on.
Colombian here and yeah... sobbing mess by the end. The way this film is about generational trauma and how many Colombians (or Latines in general) can relate to that. Oh that we all be brave enough to dismantle that trauma and Talk About Stuff the way Mirabel is ♥
I have watched SOOO many reaction videos to this movie. And I’m not gonna lie, ur the only one I’ve seen who I feel like really understood the movie. Understood the everyone has problems. M ost ppl look at it like the Abuela is the bad guy or something. But like, she’s had to raise this whole family on her own, build and nurture a whole town. She’s had a lot on her plate. And yeah she was rude at times but it wasn’t intentional, she was just preoccupied with her own worries just like everyone else.
I love the fact that she didn't get a "gift" at the end of the movie, it reinforces the idea of she's perfect just the way she is, the character doesn't need to "change" externally (get a gift) to get what they want but internally (realize that she doesn't need a gift to be special) that she had the most important "gift" of all this whole time
20:10 Not gonna lie, as a Mexican with many Latino friends, I’ll tell you… We have many flaws, too many. And our countries are constantly broken by poor management and lack of empathy and education. BUT, if there’s something I always see in our communities. Being chilenos, venezolanos, puertorriqueños, mexicanos or colombianos… When shit gets bad, and the community hits rock bottom, we always come together to at least fix it enough to keep going. I’ve seen it happen many times, and, it shows me that, we’re just waiting for the spark… but The fire is always burning inside of us. I’m glad they’ve captured that aspect perfectly in these movies that focus entirely on Latinos. I really loved Encanto y me encantó tu reacción ^~^
Grácias hermano Hispano... tu comentario es genial. Los latinos sentimos una hermandad que nos impulsa a darnos la mano. Mi casa es tu casa 🇨🇴 un abrazo para todos mis hermanos desde nuestra Colombia querida.
This was one of the best surprises of 2021, I never expected this movie to be so emotional and have an absolutely amazing message with it. Plus the songs by Lin Manuel Miranda are top notch, loved everything about this movie
This movie is brilliant in every way. The message of healing a broken family hit me very hard due to my own family cracking in the past few years. Definitely is a very special movie to me❤️
So Dolores's song mentions she hears him, twice. "Hey, grew to live in fear of Bruno stuttering or stumbling I can always hear him sort of muttering and mumbling I associate him with the sound of falling sand, ch ch ch" She hears him muttering and mumbling, and "I can hear him now." near the end of the song.
This would be so cool if Encanto has a tv series for Disney Plus! I saw this movie twice in theaters and Isabela and Mirabel have my heart 🥺
As a Colombian I'm very proud of the all messages and representation that this movie brings! So glad so many people are enjoying it and understanding its meaning 🤗🇨🇴🎉✨🌈👏🏻 Beautiful reaction!
Girl, I've watched this movie 3 times and watched 15 other reactions to it. I still sobbed the whole way through your reaction. This movie is SO impactful. Dolores and Camilo have the best singing voices to me. I'm actually in love with Dolores and her voice. I like that she sang "Do you understand?" like she was trying to get Mirabel to understand Bruno wasn't a bad guy. This movie has so many layers to it and every reactor sees or understands something else that I never thought of and you certainly did so I'm always happy to watch these. I kind of always thought that Mirabel is the next Abuela. She will be the head of the family. Abuela has an affinity with the house and no other magical powers. She opened the door the first time. That was her door. And now, as we see Mirabel turned the doorknob and the front door lit up. The front door is her door, that's why the room door disappeared. Her room is the whole house. Maybe that's just me. But I'm just thinking of when Mirabel was 5 or 6 and standing at the door that disappeared and no one understood yet the meaning behind it...I'm thinking of the aftermath which we didn't get to see. How heartbroken she must have been, how scared and alone she felt, how hard she must have cried, how embarrassed she must have felt...man, Mirabel is a goddamn miracle for being so positive and so sweet to little Antonio and trying to help out her family all the time.
I like that the Abuella had good motives. I feel like had this movie been made even just a couple of decades ago the Abuella would have been motivated by trying to preserve the family's power, status or wealth. But here she acknowledges that she received a miracle and talks about serving her community and working to be worthy of that miracle. It shows that even with the best of intentions, it can be important to acknowledge when you need to rest (Luisa), know what it is that you want to do and what you don't want to do and find a way to do good while not ignoring your own desires (Isabella) and that you can admire those around you and appreciate their strengths without having to put them on a pedestal and while still being able to empathize with them and recognize that there are times when even someone you admire will need your help and they may not even realize it themselves (Mirabela).
this movie has me sobbing every time
At first, I thought Mirabel’s gift would be the power of flight due to the sheer number and amount of butterflies on her dress
my absolute favourite line in this movie is when abuela says “i asked my pedro for help, and he sent me you” like this just so heartwarming and makes me cry every single time
I could have done with 40 more minutes of this film. It goes by so quickly. I NEED an Encanto 2 to explore the other rooms, like, what the heck will Dolores and Pepa’s rooms be like
One of my favorite details is that when Abuela described Abuelo’s death at the beginning, she didn’t show her being that that upset on the outside but at the end she is in so much visible pain. Abuela also felt the need to repress her emotions as well and that’s what’s heartbreaking because being vulnerable is what kept the miracle alive. I didn’t think we really saw Julieta or Camilo being vulnerable/repressing their emotions and I wish we got to see that just to understand them better but I still love this movie so much despite that. Another Easter egg is that in we don’t talk about Bruno when they’re all singing at once, the volume people are singing at is due to whether they’re telling the truth. Like the hurricane was probably exaggerated so it was louder. But like Delores is hard to hear the whole time except for when saying betrothed to another (because it wasn’t permanently betrothed) and when she and Isabella say “I’m fine” over and over because they really aren’t
This movie has layers on layers. I loved how they did the moms food heals, because we all have that comfort food from childhood that we go to when we are sick or hurting. If you listen to the Abuela at the beginning of the movie they all got powers to help the family, so Mirabel didn't need a power to do just that. If you Pay attention you see it was only Abuela and Mirabel that talked to the house the whole movie. That's why she didn't need a room (though the house should have given her a room) the whole house was her room. You should go back and watch the story of Abuela was telling Mirabel with the song on subtitles the words are just beautiful.
can i just say i absolutely admire how fast you were able to pick up on certain plot points??? gaaaah! loved your reaction!
Mirabel is the candle. It was the candle that brought magic and miracle to the house the first time with Abuela .. And in absence of the candle, Mirabel, the human candle fixes it.The whole house is her room. And The reason Mirabel didn't get a gift is because she is the gift.
I prefer the theory that the Casita itself is both Alma's and Mirabel's gift, since they are the only ones who show any modicum of control over it and it works with their respective roles holding the family together.
You should definitely check out the Netflix show "Arcane". It's AWESOME. 10/10 for everything: soundtrack, characters and their development, the voice acting, the animation and the storyline 😍😅😂
Everytime I go to sleep I hear "We don't talk about Bruno" playing in the back of my head 😅 the music in this movie is insanely good
it's so good!!! this whole movie is amazing :')
Same. I'm lying there like "okay, please stop. where's the pause button, I need to sleep."
11:45 My baby brother keeps on laughing whenever he hears that character say "He told me I'd grow a gut"
The songs and characters in this movie are absolutely iconic!! I have Surface Pressure and We Don’t Talk About Bruno constantly stuck in my head!
this movie is probably my favorite newer disney movie. I remember when there was first a teaser for it because my friend, who is Columbian, was really hyped about it. And we're both art nerds and the animation was just so beautiful like disney never lacks in that category. I especially loved the imagery during mirabel's song, it reminded me a lot of into the unknown from frozen 2. Also Lin Manuel Miranda is a god. Tbh i wasn't a total fan of his other works w/ disney for Moana but he really blew this one out of the park with the songs. And then he directed tick tick boom, like just straight up god
The first time I watched it, I think I teared up and/or cried at least 8 times. It’s so good! They need to make a show to explore more members of the family, the community, and explain the magic.
Honestly, when was the last time we were given songs, or even a story with that much depth from Disney? It hits on every level. Thanks for the reaction vid, lots of fun.
It's was so nice to watch your reaction! As a colombian I know there're a lot of little details that represented the diverse regional cultural roots of my country. Of course not all of them came through, but most of them did and that's one of the reasons I love this movie. One of them has to do with the tones of the clothing in the Madrigal sisters, their partners, and children: if you look carefully, the Pepa's part of the family is dressed in warm tones, and the Julieta's part in colder ones. That represents the culture of the Atlantic and Pacific coasts (Pepa's family) in one hand, and the culture of the highlands and mountains in the other (Julieta's part of the family). That's why Bruno was so important: he's the future, and is dressed in green: the combination of both cultures. PS: I also cried my eyes out watching the movie, you're not alone.
I am really impressed how incredibly insightful you are, discerning all the messages in what you are watching in real time. Oh and yes, I was in a puddle. Actually, even before watching the movie, I listened to the soundtrack, and Lin-Manuel had me choked up, in tears, yet again.
13:35 they nailed the Capybara! was just visiting them at the animal reserve and they are so chill it's like they are just the most chill stoner animal, like the koala, but one of those social stoners who just makes everyone and everything around them a fun chill time? koalas are like those stoners who just exist on a couch by themselves 24/7 LOL I love your reaction, i loved how you picked up on so many details that other people just seemed to have missed. You seem like a very emotionally intelligent person and Im subscribing for more of your reactions!
If you freeze frame during the Bruno song, you can catch Bruno in the background bopping along to the song 😂
I just caught COVID recently and am stuck at home in quarantine. This was all I wanted, an Encanto video from you. Thank you
I have a theory about that where I feel like the reason why she didn't get a gift at that time is not because he was an awesome person but I feel like her gift was essentially bringing to family together and then in a sense becoming candle / miracle itself and that the miracle now lives through her.
Loved how you kinda guessed the plot from the beginning. The 2 oruguitas scene really hit me in the guts with that reference to the 'disappeared' people of the many dictatorships we had here in Latino América. It's a fate worse than death cause their families doesn't have a body to cry on or even know if they're dead at all.
Thanks for pointing out how the real threat to everything going right is a stressed out Tia Pepa. That's totally true and I didn't realize it. Though my favorite bop sonically is We Don't Talk About Bruno, Surface Pressure's the one that REALLY struck my soul.
Girl, you are like a queen, I wasn't expecting this reaction from you. I watched this movie the other day with family and they loved it. Of course is relatable for me living in South America, at least my abuelita was an angel!
This movie is my new obsession since titcame out on Disney +. So happy to see your reaction, hence thanks to everyone suggesting it. So many great songs but personal favourite is Surface pressure.
I’m so excited and shocked that she reacted to this. Thank you so much for watching this movie for us.
As a colombian I LOVED this movie and also your reaction
I love that you reacted to this!! The first time I watched, I kept thinking, "Look at all this effective communication!! Jess would love this!"
I LOVE how they show the generational trauma from both sides! Love it with a passion! So important to see both sides of it. And of course it works because the abuela *and* the rest of the family see each other and lets go of the trauma (or at least they begin to do so). As a person who's grandfather was killed in a concentration camp during WWII for his political convictions, I know how trauma trickles down... and how important it has been for me to see that, to begin my own healing. And how in some cases healing my own trauma heals the family trauma too... but it's easier to do so, if the family is willing to acknowledge the trauma too 😉❤🌟
There’s a dark theory that Abuelo was actually beheaded instead of stab because the man was ready to kill him on the horse and the only way you can kill someone like that is by beheading them
You could probably stab him in the neck or in the mouth
@@jacobb4795 true but it would be probably easier /common to behead him while on the horse instead of aiming for a unreasonable spot
@@scarletsage6267 that’s true
@@jacobb4795 If you see the knife he is using it's a machete, those typically don't stab and are used to cut/slash which probably means he was beheaded
Finally watched it, and I watched it a second time just after the credits ended. Encanto is now one of my favorite Disney movies. It is so beautiful and meaningful. So often I feel worthless and am reminded that I need to tell me more often that I am enough. It's so beautiful I love all of them. I have still wet eyes. ❤
