The shot of the painted dinner plate is just heartbreaking. It really gets to me, the idea of Bruno, isolating himself from his family, desperately trying to stay close and part of them while not feeling worthy of joining them. Listening to each meal's conversation. It's so sad.
@@Kovugamez, wouldn’t say this was his first time he and another family member were both dumped by his own family in a movie? Remember Ice Age: Continental Drift?
Bruno and Mirabel are really similar to each other: They're the black sheep of the family, they were unfairly blamed, mistreated by everyone (Bruno because of his gift and Mirabel because she wasn't given a gift), and they both love their family and want to prove that they are worthy
I honestly felt emotional from this scene. Bruno and Mirabel made a connection emotionally. They both feel been blamed for no reason, treated unfairly, and accused they did not commit. I just can't believe Alma would do something harsh to them like that. All that mount of pressure drove Bruno away after he saw Mirabel's future, he doesn't want his niece to suffer the same fate as he did.
They represent the future and her unhealed trauma. Which Alma is very afraid of because of the trauma of not knowing the future when her husband sacrificed himself for the family like Bruno did and Mirabel’s been doing since not getting her gift. Theres an amazing video that explain it in detail.
I think it fit pretty well, given that the movie has a lot of allegories about immigrant families and various traumas and tribulations that go unspoken about for the perception of peace.
@@johnroush1099 I agree! It's usually don't talk about a heavy situation, but talk to each other in general just to make peace. Not much communication in terms of clearing the air, and apologies are RARE!!! It's not healthy...but it's normal.
@@cassandra2968 also his family never chased him out. He ran away. The families anger only came after he left when they were sad he disappeared and frustrated that he wouldn’t talk to them. Add on the guilt of what if their frustrations with his power (not himself) caused him to leave and you can see how things reached their current situation.
Can we appreciate for a moment everything Bruno sacrificed to protect Mirabel? He isolated himself from everyone for 10 years because he knew the pain of being shunned and misunderstood by those you love most and he never wanted a member of his own family whom he loved and cared about to go through the same pain he did. In my opinion, Bruno has to be one of the most selfless, wholesome and lovable characters in cinematic history🥰
That said, I believe that making that prophecy about Mirabel only was the last straw for Bruno. It is clear that people hated him and/or feared him, and it has been confirmed by Jared Bush that he kept to himself a lot even before he went into hiding. Yeah, it is true that what Bruno did for his little niece was impressive. But I feel that if he hadn't been very lonely and unhappy already before he "disappeared", he would have made other choices and not gone into hiding.
It's funny how at first, Mirabel's clearly just thinking, "What is WITH this weirdo???" but it doesn't take long for her to warm up to him once she realizes why he is the way he is. They probably spend 15-20 minutes together tops over the course of the movie, but they build such a powerful connection during that short time. The fact that Bruno was the black sheep of the family and gave up EVERYTHING to try and protect his niece from suffering in the same way is epic. And yet through it all, he still loved his family and longed to stay close to them.
Yeah, well said. Bruno is such an amazing and caring uncle and brother, I swear. I also care deeply about my family and love my nephews like they were my own children. I would do anything to protect them, even sacrifice myself and my own well-being for them.
Yes, but it makes me want to know exactly what the rats told Antonio. Because it's clear that whatever it was, he was even quicker to accept Bruno than Mirabel was.
Children can more easily accept certain things than adults. And Antonio saw how Mirabel was treated. I’m sure it wasn’t a stretch for him to see his uncle similarly to his cousin/ surrogate big sister.
The plate drawing is just so emotional he imagines that he's with them even though he's alone it's just too much and also the fact that his family says something like he's evil but he also just misses being with his family is just 'heart shattering'
@@bruhtnt4258 Yes, I am. Nobody in Julieta's side of the family ever said one negative word about Bruno. Abuela and Pepa were hurt because they thought that he had simply abandoned the family, but it's clear in the end that they still loved him. Dolores clearly was sympathetic to his struggles and Camillo was only fooling around out of ignorance. They were a dysfunctional family, but it wasn't quite as bad as some people think it was...
Everyone is pointing out the plate & forgetting that Bruno most likely heard the “we don’t talk about Bruno” song & all the things his family said about him. In my opinion it’s heartbreaking, having to sit there listening to your family describe you as this awful person who only makes bad things happen…again it’s just heartbreaking.
I think the only two that had nothing to bad to say about him was Isabela: who was foretold her bright future. And Deloris: who seems to understand the weight of having an ability that let you know everything. She even kept his secret.
He probably also chose the kitchen because that is also Julieta's domain. She's one of the only relatives that still loved him all these years and had no negative feelings towards Bruno and just simply wanted him ❤️ to come back to the family.
@@Furienna That's Mirabel playing the family political game. With Alma, Pepi, and the others with their nasty attitudes, she has to keep her ideas to herself. With him, she can be as kind as she wants.
@@celticandpenobscot8658 I think you have to remember that Pepa believed that Bruno had abandoned the family and was really hurt about that. It is clear that she missed her brother though as she's on the verge of crying and runs to him and is quicker to hug him than Julieta is when they finally get him back.
He isolated himself because his visions didn't help the family, but he loved his family so much he decided to fix the cracks in the house, but since he was so scared of them, he decided to create a new personality who wasn't afraid, just to help even a little. Poor man
People never see the distinction between causing a problem and foretelling it. It's like how the Pokemon Absol gets a bad rep. And I'm willing to bet most of his "Prophecies" were just him making simple observations and comments to people. The Lady's fish could've died for any number of reasons, like maybe Bruno noticed she hadn't taken care of it properly. The guy with a gut, Bruno was probably just advising him to cut back on the sweets. The Priest, well stress can cause hair loss right?
@@Kovugamez You would think though that even if they didn't know who Bruno really was as a person, they would get that those things weren't his fault. Seriously, how could they think that it was Bruno's fault that Osvaldo grew a gut for example? That makes no sense at all, except I guess that it was easier for him to blame someone else than to go on a diet... 😐
I don't think any disney scene broke me as much as bruno's handpainted plate on his makeshift dinner table i am literally sobbing in this corner of chili's
Bruno actually reminds me of Merlin. Yes, he can see the future. He also became a recluse to hide from the people who couldn’t accept his power. On top of all that, he’s a great mentor to Mirabel. His visions pointed her in the right direction. Therefore, Bruno is to Mirabel as Merlin is to Arthur.
Especially considering that, by the time Mirabel was born, Bruno had pretty thoroughly isolated himself from the family. He likely spent very little time with Mirabel before her 5th birthday but STILL didn't hesitate to make that sacrifice.
Usually, most sad scenes in Disney movies take a minute or two to really hit me. I usually start crying during the middle of even their saddest songs. But... Just the sight of that plate alone... The sadness hit me in seconds. It hit me because it was personal. It was a HUGE slap in the face. You ever see a movie that made you feel really called out? That's what this scene did to me and it had me connect to Bruno more than any other Disney character. I really empathized with him in that moment. He went from "Yeah, he's endearing. But, he'll reveal himself to be the villain at any moment" to "Oh my God! He loves his family so much, but he wants to stay away because he feels like a burden!" I felt so horrible for thinking for even a second that this endearing ratman might be the villain!
I think I wouldn't have thought that somebody could be an "endearing ratman" six months ago. But then I encountered the pure loveliness, that is Bruno Madrigal... Really, this is probably because I'm a complete loser with no experience with real-life romance at all. But alas, I happen to fall in love with fictional characters way too easily. To be fair though, I think I hadn't developed a new crush of that kind for quite some time before I watched this movie. And then I had to fall head over heals for my beloved Bruno... It is really awful that such a sweetheart had to be so misunderstood and unhappy and lonely. He so didn't deserve even a fraction of it...
Remember in "All of You" when Bruno says "Gotta lot of apologies I gotta say"? Excuse me, you are not the one who has to apologize, they treated him like crap, years of seclusion and bad mouthing, while he was there, listening to everything, and still loving his family
Try to understand: ✳what does a prophet do in this cultural setting?✳ He or she TALKS! And often talks too MUCH. ‼‼‼ Poor Bruno means very little harm, but sets forces in motion with his remarks which he should never have touched with a thirty-foot pole. Pepa's weather-making powers at the wedding, for instance. Not to mention all the community-political forces around his [unjust] "black-sheep" status. This holds true whether he's sharing a supernal vision or just some mundane observation. And his utterly benign underlying motives do nothing to lessen the pain of the consequences. Ergo, all that meek apologizing. All that said, the apologies owed to Bruno would 🔅🔅fill an encyclopedia❕❕❕🔅🔅
1:43 after watching this movie I honestly believe that this wasn’t a case of an uncertain future, but rather the present based on how Mirabel feels. For example, when she was singing with Isabella in “what else can I do”, the candle burns brighter as she feels genuinely accepted by her sister. And when she finally confronts Abuela Alma with her “I’ll never be good enough for you” moment, that’s when Casita literally falls apart. In fact Mirabel only noticed the cracks just moments after she finishes her song where she admits she’s not fine.
Just proves how two faced this family is smh. They all be trash talking poor Bruno in the song and in the end they’re all like B r U n O w E m I s S e D y O u
Actually, only Pepa and Camilo trash talked him in the slander song. The rest of his family showed sympathy for him or said nothing negative about him, and a few of them weren't even present to say anything at the time. And as much as I will admit that I was angry with Pepa for a while, it is now clear to me that she was acting out of the pain of losing her brother. Somehow, she found it easier to be angry with him for leaving the family than admitting how hurt she was by it. Camilo was only a mischievous theater kid, who seemed to treat the whole thing as an opportunity to act like the villain in a play. Now, it is true that portraying his innocent uncle this way is the worst thing that he did in the entire movie. But I don't put the blame on Camilo, but on the adults who either didn't talk about Bruno at all or just repeated the ugly rumors about him.
This scene really touched my heart. Bruno isolating himself to stop being a burden, his gift being a burden. The reason why he left because everyone assumes the worst outcome of his visions. While Luisa and Isabela are pressured to use their gifts having no room for relaxation or joy. Also, when Mirabel peeked through the cracks gosh that broke my heart
The most heartwarming thing between them was when Mirabel sung "The Family Madrigal" and when everyone said "We don't talk about Bruno", she still sung about him and his gift
You can't believe how much I hate the villagers who said that about my beloved Bruno. The bastards! However, it is true that you have to give Mirabel credit for singing about her uncle anyway. But alas, it is made clear that she doesn't know much about him when she says "They say he saw the future". That is, she has no memories of her own of him seeing the future because he went into hiding when she was only five years old...
I relate to Bruno. When someone else is quirky or extra, they're fun-loving and everyone is into that, but I sometimes mask my quirks because I know how it's gonna look because I'm Emily and nobody knows what to do with me. Bruno makes neurodivergent people like me feel seen.
0:45 Can we talk about the fact that everything Mirabel says is exactly how Bruno has felt for years and that’s why he explains? Watch his expression when she says “I just wanted to make the family proud of me… just once.” GOD I ADORE THIS ANIMATION TEAM AND THEIR DETAILS
Yeah, it is very clear that he's thinking "oh no, and I hoped that I would be the only one in the family to feel that way". It is very interesting too that Julieta basically compares Mirabel to Bruno in one scene...
ok yeah the plate scene tore all our hearts out but can we talk about the way mirabel whispered “just once”. In her entire life which is only 15 years long she’s felt she’s never made her family proud like no child should be feeling like that. Especially Bruno’s reaction to that because he relates omg this movie makes me emo
“But..I love my family, y’know..” That scene broke my heart, Bruno deeply cared for his family despite them fearing him and his power. Instead of trying to help him and understand him, they basically shunned him and went along with how the town thought of him. They even tried to sweep his existence under the rug and pretend he isn’t real, especially his family. Bruno reminds me of my 2nd oldest sister, she was mistreated by mother and thanks to her, my sister now has depression and ADHD, went undiagnosed with it until now. That’s why I can connect with Mirabel and Bruno (I’m currently kinda in a Mirabel/Isabela situation) a lot. Really hated how everyone didn’t owe Bruno an apology that he deserved at the end
You are too hard on his family here, I think. It is clear that they loved Bruno, and Pepa and Abuela only were angry with him after he disappeared without saying good-bye or giving them an explanation for what he did.
What bothers me is that Bruno said that Abuela was worried about the magic. Not Mirabel and how she might be after not getting a gift. Not Bruno after he leaves and blames all the family problems on himself. Just the magic.
Yeah same, she just only cared about everyone’s powers but not them in general. I understand her pain and everything but I wouldn’t dismiss anyone’s feelings and just focus on their skills. Also notice in the scene where Abuela announces Isabela’s engagement with that dude (Forgot his name) and didn’t say she was excited for new family members but instead their miracles. That just shows how incredibly toxic and selfish she is
@@mr.dickbutttheog2064 She might be toxic, but not selfish. She has to live her life in constant fear of that her family would have to endure another attack by evil-doers like the ones who murdered Pedro.
“But I knew how it was gonna look. I knew what everyone would think, because I’m Bruno and everyone always assumes the worst!” That part always hits hard :(
Amazing how the voice actor John Leguizamo is also the aggressive Tybalt in Romeo + Juliet, Sid in Ice Age, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec a leader of a Performance Troupe in Moulin Rouge! as well as Bruno Madrigal all rolled into one. The man has range and talent.... he needs to be given more roles be it in real-life acting or voice acting. He deserves to be the lead!!!
Like with other seers on tv or in mythology and history (e.g. holy prophets), people think that the person who sees the future thus creates it. But that’s not true as seeing is not the same as creating. Bruno isn’t the only one who’s gone through this.
In real life its not just opening up once and everything is fine with trauma, more people know that better than me. However, I loved this movie because there was no 'villain' like a typical movie. No one out for revenge or to take over the world because they were burned. It was about very human flaws, and very real life despite to protect your family. It's far from a cure, but it's moments like Abuela opening up to Mirabel that OPENS the cure, that lets you face the trauma head on and learn to heal. It's strength and patience like Mirabel's to help guide that healing. Trauma hurts you, its hurts people you care about through you, but they can be the reason it doesn't hurt so much anymore. The reason you regain hope and have faith to keep going. Sometimes, it takes being confronted with hurting someone you love to realize just have far you've fallen, how wrong you are. I have no doubt Abuela loved Mirabel too, but her fear for her family and not wanting the miracle to force made her keep mirabel at arms length, made her expect perfection from her family so there was no flaws to fail. The thing about life and trauma, is you NEED to break, you need to let yourself feel what you're feeling, you need to let yourself be not okay. In order to put the pieces back together in something better. Not great, not perfect, not flawless, but beautiful anyway. Mirabel's gift is to be the candle bearer like Alma, so as her doubts and pain grew, the house cracks showed more and more like trauma when someone tries to repress it. You crack and crack and crack, until everything falls apart. Life is the story you tell through your memories, everything good and everything that hurts, and everything in between.
It sure is an abrupt shift in mood and theme, n'est-ce pas? But I'm tempted to see it as a poke at those viewers, especially those D@M#d PTO types, who insist on what younger people in Germany once called the Hollywood Happyend. The sheer implausibility of everybody effectively just singing Kumbaya as if 45 years of strange happenings and emotional violence had never taken place is such a loud insult that I wonder if a couple of screenwriters meant it as a signal to ask a few questions. Didn't want us to take it at face value, IOW.
He wasn't telling people what would happen, but what could happen. I think a lot of those people caused their own futures by over worrying and over thinking on the visions that it caused them stress and paranoia: 1. The lady with the fish: probably was neglecting her pet already. 2. The fat guy: emotional eater 3. The priest: stress and aging. It was all self-inflicted Mirabel's vision: was showing what Mirabel's gift was all along as well as her destiny. She wasn't just the solution, she was the gift all along.
I kinda like how at first the movie seemed to set Bruno up as the villain only to flip it and reveal he’s mostly a nice guy. Who’s just made a big sacrifice for his family
He's painted in a horrible light not because people are angry with him, but because they are of him. And that's not especially because he's a practical threat to them, either. It's about his magical power and how it and he have grown together to form something very, very different from everyday humanity. In another scene, the whole village watches little Antonio understand what animals are saying. 45 or so years earlier, the village watched another small boy bend Time and Space and do strange things with the fabric of the world in order to ply them with a piece of bad news... That dreadfully sad look in his eyes when Mirabel poses the pertinent question is really everyone else's terror, reflected in its unlucky target. And this is why he breaks our hearts. He has all the needs, and all the moral entitlements, but he still only ^*half-belongs*^ anywhere on this plane of existence.
What I wanna know is how tf Bruno got all that furniture and fit it behind the walls of Casita? Casita must've helped him in some ways, expanding her walls so he could hide, sneaking him plates and things, stuff like that. Dunno how he got that big armchair in there though... Also does anyone else see the drawing on the wall in the background at 0:26? Can't tell what it is but it's so sweet yet sad to think of Bruno drawing a picture of his family or something because he's lonely. Also damn where did he get all those books from? Dude is well-read AND good at parkour? Why hasn't anyone married him yet?!
It has been said that his furniture is old stuff, that was already discarded by the rest of the family. Yeah, even though no one in the movie talks about it, it is clear that Bruno is well-read, with all those books in his room. And he's also artistic and creative and good with animals and just adorably awkward in the cutest possible way and simply a true sweetheart. Really, it is like they just added detail after detail to make him even more lovely and amazing and wonderful to me. It is like they knew me personally and created him with the sole purpose of making me develope a crush on a fictional character. Except I know that I'm not Bruno's only fangirl, so it worked for many other people as well. He wouldn't have had any problems with finding someone who would marry him if we could meet him. 😅 But alas, people in-universe had almost no chance to get to know him before the Casita crumbled and the magic disappeared. Thus, he had to remain single due to his introverted and nervous personality and the awful rumors about him... ☹️
He certainly doesn't give his facilities -- such as they are -- much wear and tear. He puts a lot more strain on the dishonest people around him. What a face...
When you realize that Bruno not only left to protect Mirabel from been resented by everyone but to also protect the whole family from living in fear, especially Abuela she was too traumatized of loosing her home, he just wanted them to live in peace.
When i saw this scene, i broke down crying because it hit so hard home to me. I know that feeling of wanting to be close to people, but not feeling welcome. I know it so much. And it's in a way liberating to see it in an extremely popular and loved movie, because it makes me feel seen.
I couldn’t imagine Julieta being one of the ones to alienate Bruno. What if one of the reasons he left was because she was one of the few in his corner, besides Felix and Agustin, and telling her that her ungifted daughter may be the reason the family lost their gifts would cause her to act like the rest and blame him?
He didn't keep it. That night he broke the vision in his room (his magic room/tower in the Casita with all the sand) and the vision shards were left there all those 10 years. Mirabel retrieved the shards from his tower remember? And then the rats brought the shards to Bruno right after Isabela's ruined proposal dinner.
the painted Dinner plate. is the Saddest fuckign thing Disney has ever done. forget bambi Forget All the death. having Bruno craving and pretending to be apart of family dinners, breakfast, and all that is worst then all that.
I won't be uploading videos because it's time for me to go back to school But am missing you guys a lot you have been the best people Thank you all so much for supporting my channel
You have to put yourself into Alma's situation to understand her actions. She had seen her husband being murdered in front of her eyes on the same day as she had given birth to triplets. And then, she had to raise three children as a single mother and run the town without having any time to heal from her trauma. She had never planned to hurt her kids and grandkids, but she couldn't stop making mistakes out of her fear of facing another attack like the one where Pedro was killed.
now why the hell are u comparing trauma💀. Mirabel is literally 15 constantly left out, belittled, feeling useless and lonely. Yes bruno had a hard life too but it’s the fact y’all are comparing his experience to a CHILD??? like damn instead of saying bruno had it worse maybe focus on how messed up it is that either of them had to put up with how they were treated
@@lilac3266 well Bruno got his gift when he was child too just like everyone else, and yes, he might not have been belittled and left out or useless, but he was demonized, considered evil by the town's people and some of his family members, all because he wanted to help people with his gift, he was then driven to live in the walls where he always stayed close to family, and he lived there for probably 10 years!!! He was never mentioned by his family, or anyone again! So yeah, Mirabel didn't have a gift and was looked down upon because of it, but Bruno still had his gift and was demonized and denounced for it! And had to eventually live in the walls! And don't get me wrong I still felt really bad for Mirabell, but what happened to Bruno is in a WHOLE other league!
@@everettcosta1848 my point is you shouldn’t compare them?? that’s literally what the movie is about. Everyone assumed each person had it easier but they didn’t because everyone was struggling. U cant compare stuff like that. Also we don’t actually know Bruno’s childhood as he’s 50 at the time of the film he only became “not talked about” a decade prior. Yes he was probably not well liked in the town then but we don’t actually know about his child/teen/early adult years. Who knows maybe bruno was a golden child? The point is you cant make assumptions literally the message of the film
@@lilac3266 Yes, but there is one important difference between Bruno and Mirabel: their personalities. Even if they both became scapegoated for things which weren't their fault, they handled the situation differently. Mirabel still managed to be bubbly and upbeat most of the time and was liked by everybody except Abuela and Isabela, who were of course dealing with their own issues. And as soon as things started to go really wrong, she had the pluck and optimism to try to do something about it. Bruno was much less of a sociable person than Mirabel and had a hard time letting people get to know him before they shunned him. And he was born with a more nervous and pessimistic personality and never thought that he could improve anything. Not to mention that he had to spend ten years in isolation with only rats for company...
@@Furienna firstly mirabel was faking the upbeatness the whole time to hide the fact she felt so useless and secondly we don’t know when Bruno became like that. In the books it mentions he used to be the star child so maybe he was also upbeat and bubbly. Mirabel also wasn’t liked by everybody we quite literally see 90% of ppl forget or ignore her excluding her parents and Antonio. The townspeople also aren’t fond of her as revealed by the gut guy. My point is we shouldn’t say one had it worse because they have very different experiences. We don’t know how long bruno has felt this way and we do know that mirabel has felt it for her entire childhood. They have both suffered immensely and just because one of them pretends to be happy so nobody suspects anything doesn’t mean they actually feel that way.
I sympathize with Bruno about being wrongfully accused of being the bad son, my dad easily gets mad at me over anything and everything and my sister takes after him and defends him no matter what
Completely random, but I Bruno called Alma "Abuela" because that's what Mirabel knows her as and he probably knows her as "mom" or "mamma". Again, random but cute. IDK why that was noticeable to me...
It's been too long; this is almost three years old. But I must point out something about that table setting of his: the "plate" is really a sketch of the rim of his vision circle. The family tableware doesn't look anything like that. He likely drew it at age 5 -- not 35. All the same, this part of the story is *not for the faint of heart!!*
Bruno: 0:290:31 Me: Bruno, I think what you're trying to say is: "And...contrary to what everyone told you about me, I'm not a bad person...I just had bad luck".
This movie really is a genuine masterpiece, and proof that in spite of what a lot of Disney haters want to believe, Disney has made some genuine masterpieces in recent years. But if there's one problem I have with the movie, it's that most scenes in the second half honestly go on for longer than needed. With scenes like this, then the scene where Bruno has the next vision, the flashback by the river, and the All of You scene. To the point where the song We Don't Talk About Bruno, which you'd assume is right before the last third of the movie, is actually just barely into the second half of the movie. Again, this is still a masterpiece, but this is one thing that bothers me about the movie.
It's interesting how different people's views and impressions of the same movie/scene can be. I personally don't feel like this scene went on longer than needed at all. If anything, I feel like it's one of the more well-paced scenes in the movie (I even didn't mind if it had gone on longer) compared to the rest of them that mostly went on TOO FAST imo.
I imagine that Dolores would cry silently in her bedroom after listening to these conversations. It's been since she was 11 years old. Like just how much stress she had to handle for having that oversensitive hearing, how she exposed tons of things (because she's had wayyy too much to contain them). The guilt for exposing Mirabel and those visions. Just how much this family endured, it's too much.
The shot of the painted dinner plate is just heartbreaking. It really gets to me, the idea of Bruno, isolating himself from his family, desperately trying to stay close and part of them while not feeling worthy of joining them. Listening to each meal's conversation. It's so sad.
What gets to me is that because he couldn't be useful, he might never be able to start his own branch in the Madrigal Family Tree, unlike his sisters.
@Billie King marrying a woman at least 20 years younger than him?
@@Kovugamez I would say that 10-15 years younger might be enough.
After all, remember that Pepa had Antonio when she was 45.
@@Kovugamez, wouldn’t say this was his first time he and another family member were both dumped by his own family in a movie? Remember Ice Age: Continental Drift?
"Yeah, my gift wasn't helping the family... but I love my family".
And that's where my heart broke.
Bruno and Mirabel are really similar to each other: They're the black sheep of the family, they were unfairly blamed, mistreated by everyone (Bruno because of his gift and Mirabel because she wasn't given a gift), and they both love their family and want to prove that they are worthy
I honestly felt emotional from this scene. Bruno and Mirabel made a connection emotionally. They both feel been blamed for no reason, treated unfairly, and accused they did not commit. I just can't believe Alma would do something harsh to them like that. All that mount of pressure drove Bruno away after he saw Mirabel's future, he doesn't want his niece to suffer the same fate as he did.
Thats what generational trauma did in this film.
It left harsh scars on abuela, and through her left holes in souls of mirabel and bruno
They represent the future and her unhealed trauma. Which Alma is very afraid of because of the trauma of not knowing the future when her husband sacrificed himself for the family like Bruno did and Mirabel’s been doing since not getting her gift. Theres an amazing video that explain it in detail.
@@spacebar9733 I see
It pissed me off that NO ONE apologiesd to this man. The end was so rushed.
I think it fit pretty well, given that the movie has a lot of allegories about immigrant families and various traumas and tribulations that go unspoken about for the perception of peace.
@@johnroush1099 I agree! It's usually don't talk about a heavy situation, but talk to each other in general just to make peace. Not much communication in terms of clearing the air, and apologies are RARE!!! It's not healthy...but it's normal.
YAHHHH I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YAHHHHH!!
@@cassandra2968 also his family never chased him out. He ran away. The families anger only came after he left when they were sad he disappeared and frustrated that he wouldn’t talk to them. Add on the guilt of what if their frustrations with his power (not himself) caused him to leave and you can see how things reached their current situation.
The end was not rushed in the slightest. Just because it didn't have something YOU wanted doesn't mean it was rushed
Can we appreciate for a moment everything Bruno sacrificed to protect Mirabel? He isolated himself from everyone for 10 years because he knew the pain of being shunned and misunderstood by those you love most and he never wanted a member of his own family whom he loved and cared about to go through the same pain he did. In my opinion, Bruno has to be one of the most selfless, wholesome and lovable characters in cinematic history🥰
That said, I believe that making that prophecy about Mirabel only was the last straw for Bruno.
It is clear that people hated him and/or feared him, and it has been confirmed by Jared Bush that he kept to himself a lot even before he went into hiding.
Yeah, it is true that what Bruno did for his little niece was impressive.
But I feel that if he hadn't been very lonely and unhappy already before he "disappeared", he would have made other choices and not gone into hiding.
That also made Mirabel realized that during her argument with Alma, _no one_ would ever be good enough for Alma, no matter how hard they try
It's funny how at first, Mirabel's clearly just thinking, "What is WITH this weirdo???" but it doesn't take long for her to warm up to him once she realizes why he is the way he is. They probably spend 15-20 minutes together tops over the course of the movie, but they build such a powerful connection during that short time. The fact that Bruno was the black sheep of the family and gave up EVERYTHING to try and protect his niece from suffering in the same way is epic. And yet through it all, he still loved his family and longed to stay close to them.
Yeah, well said. Bruno is such an amazing and caring uncle and brother, I swear. I also care deeply about my family and love my nephews like they were my own children. I would do anything to protect them, even sacrifice myself and my own well-being for them.
Yes, but it makes me want to know exactly what the rats told Antonio.
Because it's clear that whatever it was, he was even quicker to accept Bruno than Mirabel was.
Children can more easily accept certain things than adults. And Antonio saw how Mirabel was treated. I’m sure it wasn’t a stretch for him to see his uncle similarly to his cousin/ surrogate big sister.
*Not Bruno taking better care of Mirabel in 15-20 mins than alma did in the whole movie lol:*
@@VIcky-bm7lw Alma was loving towards Mirabel in the prologue and was loving towards her again after she had opened up to her about her backstory.
The plate drawing is just so emotional he imagines that he's with them even though he's alone it's just too much and also the fact that his family says something like he's evil but he also just misses being with his family is just 'heart shattering'
Let’s be honest his drawling is better than mine I would just make a sloppy circle and put my name in the center
@@443Cosmic same
To be fair though, most of the family say nothing negative about him.
@@Furienna
“We don’t talk about Bruno” : are you sure about that?
@@bruhtnt4258 Yes, I am.
Nobody in Julieta's side of the family ever said one negative word about Bruno.
Abuela and Pepa were hurt because they thought that he had simply abandoned the family, but it's clear in the end that they still loved him.
Dolores clearly was sympathetic to his struggles and Camillo was only fooling around out of ignorance.
They were a dysfunctional family, but it wasn't quite as bad as some people think it was...
Everyone is pointing out the plate & forgetting that Bruno most likely heard the “we don’t talk about Bruno” song & all the things his family said about him. In my opinion it’s heartbreaking, having to sit there listening to your family describe you as this awful person who only makes bad things happen…again it’s just heartbreaking.
even if he didn't get to hear it, the fact that the family life seems to go on just swell without him, and his therefore feeling unneeded, unwanted...
For the opposite feels, if you watch the background during Dolores’s part, you can see him vibing to it.
@@animeotaku307 well, there's the theory that that's not Bruno but Camilo pretending to be him
I think the only two that had nothing to bad to say about him was Isabela: who was foretold her bright future. And Deloris: who seems to understand the weight of having an ability that let you know everything. She even kept his secret.
@@tarielkaroldan4106 it’s a good theory since Bruno’s eyes are only glowing when using a vision.
Oh he’s got a little drawing of a plate! And he sits there and spies on their dinner so he can pretend he’s eating with them! That’s so sad!
FOR 10 LONG YEARS
He probably also chose the kitchen because that is also Julieta's domain. She's one of the only relatives that still loved him all these years and had no negative feelings towards Bruno and just simply wanted him ❤️ to come back to the family.
@@sonicluffypucca96 Kitchen Adjacent...tsk tsk...ooh plus, free entertainment..."
And the kitchen is the place where all the family reunite 3 times in a day. He can see them all. Can “be with them”…
I love how she referred to him as "Tio Bruno"
Sometimes, she refers to him as just "Bruno" when he's not in the same room.
But she will call him "Tío Bruno" when they're actually together.
@@Furienna That's Mirabel playing the family political game. With Alma, Pepi, and the others with their nasty attitudes, she has to keep her ideas to herself. With him, she can be as kind as she wants.
@@celticandpenobscot8658 When was Pepa nasty towards Mirabel though?
@@Furienna Not to Mirabel herself, but to Bruno. And Pepa flat-out refuses to give Mirabel any advice -- which is what Mirabel wants.
@@celticandpenobscot8658 I think you have to remember that Pepa believed that Bruno had abandoned the family and was really hurt about that.
It is clear that she missed her brother though as she's on the verge of crying and runs to him and is quicker to hug him than Julieta is when they finally get him back.
He isolated himself because his visions didn't help the family, but he loved his family so much he decided to fix the cracks in the house, but since he was so scared of them, he decided to create a new personality who wasn't afraid, just to help even a little.
Poor man
You gotta love him.
People never see the distinction between causing a problem and foretelling it. It's like how the Pokemon Absol gets a bad rep. And I'm willing to bet most of his "Prophecies" were just him making simple observations and comments to people. The Lady's fish could've died for any number of reasons, like maybe Bruno noticed she hadn't taken care of it properly. The guy with a gut, Bruno was probably just advising him to cut back on the sweets. The Priest, well stress can cause hair loss right?
@@Kovugamez You would think though that even if they didn't know who Bruno really was as a person, they would get that those things weren't his fault.
Seriously, how could they think that it was Bruno's fault that Osvaldo grew a gut for example?
That makes no sense at all, except I guess that it was easier for him to blame someone else than to go on a diet... 😐
I don't think any disney scene broke me as much as bruno's handpainted plate on his makeshift dinner table i am literally sobbing in this corner of chili's
Bruno actually reminds me of Merlin. Yes, he can see the future. He also became a recluse to hide from the people who couldn’t accept his power. On top of all that, he’s a great mentor to Mirabel. His visions pointed her in the right direction. Therefore, Bruno is to Mirabel as Merlin is to Arthur.
ResShoes
The amount of love he has for his niece is so touching, and the love she showed for him in wanting him to return to the family is also heartwarming🥺💗
Especially considering that, by the time Mirabel was born, Bruno had pretty thoroughly isolated himself from the family. He likely spent very little time with Mirabel before her 5th birthday but STILL didn't hesitate to make that sacrifice.
dolores hearing everything the family has to say after bruno "left" and also hearing bruno's reactions to those.
man, their fam was a mess.
Damn, I wonder how that affected her emotionally. She did keep his secret from them.
Yeah. I wouldn't blame if anyone wants to get out from that kind of family.
Usually, most sad scenes in Disney movies take a minute or two to really hit me. I usually start crying during the middle of even their saddest songs. But... Just the sight of that plate alone... The sadness hit me in seconds. It hit me because it was personal. It was a HUGE slap in the face. You ever see a movie that made you feel really called out? That's what this scene did to me and it had me connect to Bruno more than any other Disney character. I really empathized with him in that moment. He went from "Yeah, he's endearing. But, he'll reveal himself to be the villain at any moment" to "Oh my God! He loves his family so much, but he wants to stay away because he feels like a burden!" I felt so horrible for thinking for even a second that this endearing ratman might be the villain!
I think I wouldn't have thought that somebody could be an "endearing ratman" six months ago.
But then I encountered the pure loveliness, that is Bruno Madrigal...
Really, this is probably because I'm a complete loser with no experience with real-life romance at all.
But alas, I happen to fall in love with fictional characters way too easily.
To be fair though, I think I hadn't developed a new crush of that kind for quite some time before I watched this movie.
And then I had to fall head over heals for my beloved Bruno...
It is really awful that such a sweetheart had to be so misunderstood and unhappy and lonely.
He so didn't deserve even a fraction of it...
Remember in "All of You" when Bruno says "Gotta lot of apologies I gotta say"? Excuse me, you are not the one who has to apologize, they treated him like crap, years of seclusion and bad mouthing, while he was there, listening to everything, and still loving his family
Try to understand: ✳what does a prophet do in this cultural setting?✳
He or she TALKS! And often talks too MUCH. ‼‼‼
Poor Bruno means very little harm, but sets forces in motion with his remarks which he should never have touched with a thirty-foot pole. Pepa's weather-making powers at the wedding, for instance. Not to mention all the community-political forces around his [unjust] "black-sheep" status.
This holds true whether he's sharing a supernal vision or just some mundane observation. And his utterly benign underlying motives do nothing to lessen the pain of the consequences.
Ergo, all that meek apologizing.
All that said, the apologies owed to Bruno would 🔅🔅fill an encyclopedia❕❕❕🔅🔅
The plate
That F*CKING PLATE
No I just can't
That's it
Excuse me, bye
Same fam
I couldnt agree more 😥❤
That is when all of our hearts broke at the same time.

"my gift wasn't helping the family..but I love my family" pain , unfathomable suffering. Loss of will even
It's the first time that I emotionally empathize with two characters in a single scene 😭 **sobs** they are adorable
1:43 after watching this movie I honestly believe that this wasn’t a case of an uncertain future, but rather the present based on how Mirabel feels.
For example, when she was singing with Isabella in “what else can I do”, the candle burns brighter as she feels genuinely accepted by her sister. And when she finally confronts Abuela Alma with her “I’ll never be good enough for you” moment, that’s when Casita literally falls apart. In fact Mirabel only noticed the cracks just moments after she finishes her song where she admits she’s not fine.
Even after everything bad his family did and said about him, he still loves them. Protect Bruno! 💚
That's the one thing that _never_ broke Bruno: His love for his family will always be unbreakable, no matter what everyone thinks of him
I will protect him if I can. 😁
Just proves how two faced this family is smh. They all be trash talking poor Bruno in the song and in the end they’re all like
B r U n O w E m I s S e D y O u
Actually, only Pepa and Camilo trash talked him in the slander song.
The rest of his family showed sympathy for him or said nothing negative about him, and a few of them weren't even present to say anything at the time.
And as much as I will admit that I was angry with Pepa for a while, it is now clear to me that she was acting out of the pain of losing her brother.
Somehow, she found it easier to be angry with him for leaving the family than admitting how hurt she was by it.
Camilo was only a mischievous theater kid, who seemed to treat the whole thing as an opportunity to act like the villain in a play.
Now, it is true that portraying his innocent uncle this way is the worst thing that he did in the entire movie.
But I don't put the blame on Camilo, but on the adults who either didn't talk about Bruno at all or just repeated the ugly rumors about him.
This scene really touched my heart. Bruno isolating himself to stop being a burden, his gift being a burden. The reason why he left because everyone assumes the worst outcome of his visions. While Luisa and Isabela are pressured to use their gifts having no room for relaxation or joy.
Also, when Mirabel peeked through the cracks gosh that broke my heart
The most heartwarming thing between them was when Mirabel sung "The Family Madrigal" and when everyone said "We don't talk about Bruno", she still sung about him and his gift
You can't believe how much I hate the villagers who said that about my beloved Bruno.
The bastards!
However, it is true that you have to give Mirabel credit for singing about her uncle anyway.
But alas, it is made clear that she doesn't know much about him when she says "They say he saw the future".
That is, she has no memories of her own of him seeing the future because he went into hiding when she was only five years old...
I relate to Bruno. When someone else is quirky or extra, they're fun-loving and everyone is into that, but I sometimes mask my quirks because I know how it's gonna look because I'm Emily and nobody knows what to do with me. Bruno makes neurodivergent people like me feel seen.
0:45 Can we talk about the fact that everything Mirabel says is exactly how Bruno has felt for years and that’s why he explains? Watch his expression when she says “I just wanted to make the family proud of me… just once.”
GOD I ADORE THIS ANIMATION TEAM AND THEIR DETAILS
His expression also keeps becoming more tender. Like you can tell he loves her so much and wants to help and just doesn't know how.
Also you can’t tell me he didn’t immediately think of young Julieta at first when he saw her
@@HinataElyonToph I think you just broke my heart a little bit....
Yeah, it is very clear that he's thinking "oh no, and I hoped that I would be the only one in the family to feel that way".
It is very interesting too that Julieta basically compares Mirabel to Bruno in one scene...
John Leguizamo is a legend!
ok yeah the plate scene tore all our hearts out but can we talk about the way mirabel whispered “just once”. In her entire life which is only 15 years long she’s felt she’s never made her family proud like no child should be feeling like that. Especially Bruno’s reaction to that because he relates omg this movie makes me emo
The fact that he air-quote “left” to protect Mirable. It really shows the love an uncle would have for his sweet niece. 🥹🥰
The moment of seeing the plate brings me tears. Really heart breaking💔
i literally love bruno… he has such a sweet heart❤
Oh yeah. ❤️❤️❤️
0:20 His eyes...
How did they manage to give an animated character eyes, that can pierce my soul?
Okay, I'm done.
“But..I love my family, y’know..”
That scene broke my heart, Bruno deeply cared for his family despite them fearing him and his power. Instead of trying to help him and understand him, they basically shunned him and went along with how the town thought of him. They even tried to sweep his existence under the rug and pretend he isn’t real, especially his family. Bruno reminds me of my 2nd oldest sister, she was mistreated by mother and thanks to her, my sister now has depression and ADHD, went undiagnosed with it until now. That’s why I can connect with Mirabel and Bruno (I’m currently kinda in a Mirabel/Isabela situation) a lot. Really hated how everyone didn’t owe Bruno an apology that he deserved at the end
You are too hard on his family here, I think.
It is clear that they loved Bruno, and Pepa and Abuela only were angry with him after he disappeared without saying good-bye or giving them an explanation for what he did.
John Leguizamo voiced both Sid from Ice Age and Bruno and he sounds the same here as when Sid tells Manny about his family leaving him
*Not Bruno taking better care of Mirabel in 15-20 mins than alma did in the whole movie lol:*
What bothers me is that Bruno said that Abuela was worried about the magic. Not Mirabel and how she might be after not getting a gift. Not Bruno after he leaves and blames all the family problems on himself.
Just the magic.
Yeah same, she just only cared about everyone’s powers but not them in general. I understand her pain and everything but I wouldn’t dismiss anyone’s feelings and just focus on their skills. Also notice in the scene where Abuela announces Isabela’s engagement with that dude (Forgot his name) and didn’t say she was excited for new family members but instead their miracles. That just shows how incredibly toxic and selfish she is
@@mr.dickbutttheog2064 She might be toxic, but not selfish.
She has to live her life in constant fear of that her family would have to endure another attack by evil-doers like the ones who murdered Pedro.
0:18 got me, just imagining him looking thru the painting so he feels like he’s eating with them made me sad
The music that plays while he has his vision is so mystical and whimsical it’s the perfect sound for his gift
"Im bruno and everyone always assume the worst "
DANG IT HURTS, MAN 😢😢 THAT PLATE TOO
Bruno is an amazing character
0:50 THEY WAY HE SLIGHTLY LIFTS HIS HEAD GETS ME EVERYTIME, HE KNOWS HOW SHE FEELS
I love mirabel's face changed when she sees the fake plate
I love their bonding, their relationship. Gosh, I need more timescreen just for two of them being emotional or silly
This scene made me cry, I relate to how bruno was treated and the way he felt
“But I knew how it was gonna look. I knew what everyone would think, because I’m Bruno and everyone always assumes the worst!”
That part always hits hard :(
0:19 literally sobbing. all these years he's been watching eat while he's just back there alone
Amazing how the voice actor John Leguizamo is also the aggressive Tybalt in Romeo + Juliet, Sid in Ice Age, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec a leader of a Performance Troupe in Moulin Rouge! as well as Bruno Madrigal all rolled into one. The man has range and talent.... he needs to be given more roles be it in real-life acting or voice acting. He deserves to be the lead!!!
Bruno's plate brings me to tears every single time.
1:29 1:43 Bruno's vision of mirabel is basically the physical embodiment of the phrase _"something has to be broken in order for them to be fixed"_
Like with other seers on tv or in mythology and history (e.g. holy prophets), people think that the person who sees the future thus creates it. But that’s not true as seeing is not the same as creating. Bruno isn’t the only one who’s gone through this.
In real life its not just opening up once and everything is fine with trauma, more people know that better than me. However, I loved this movie because there was no 'villain' like a typical movie. No one out for revenge or to take over the world because they were burned. It was about very human flaws, and very real life despite to protect your family. It's far from a cure, but it's moments like Abuela opening up to Mirabel that OPENS the cure, that lets you face the trauma head on and learn to heal. It's strength and patience like Mirabel's to help guide that healing. Trauma hurts you, its hurts people you care about through you, but they can be the reason it doesn't hurt so much anymore. The reason you regain hope and have faith to keep going. Sometimes, it takes being confronted with hurting someone you love to realize just have far you've fallen, how wrong you are. I have no doubt Abuela loved Mirabel too, but her fear for her family and not wanting the miracle to force made her keep mirabel at arms length, made her expect perfection from her family so there was no flaws to fail. The thing about life and trauma, is you NEED to break, you need to let yourself feel what you're feeling, you need to let yourself be not okay. In order to put the pieces back together in something better. Not great, not perfect, not flawless, but beautiful anyway. Mirabel's gift is to be the candle bearer like Alma, so as her doubts and pain grew, the house cracks showed more and more like trauma when someone tries to repress it. You crack and crack and crack, until everything falls apart. Life is the story you tell through your memories, everything good and everything that hurts, and everything in between.
It sure is an abrupt shift in mood and theme, n'est-ce pas? But I'm tempted to see it as a poke at those viewers, especially those D@M#d PTO types, who insist on what younger people in Germany once called the Hollywood Happyend. The sheer implausibility of everybody effectively just singing Kumbaya as if 45 years of strange happenings and emotional violence had never taken place is such a loud insult that I wonder if a couple of screenwriters meant it as a signal to ask a few questions. Didn't want us to take it at face value, IOW.
All the more heartbreaking is he heard all the mean things they had to say about him 😢
He wasn't telling people what would happen, but what could happen. I think a lot of those people caused their own futures by over worrying and over thinking on the visions that it caused them stress and paranoia:
1. The lady with the fish: probably was neglecting her pet already.
2. The fat guy: emotional eater
3. The priest: stress and aging.
It was all self-inflicted
Mirabel's vision: was showing what Mirabel's gift was all along as well as her destiny. She wasn't just the solution, she was the gift all along.
I'm crying throughout this whole thing 😭😭😭
Awww my poor baby been alone for 10 years 🥺🥺💔💔
0:18 This broke my heart😭 He wants to be with his family so badly
0:32 I just want to give him a hug
Me, too. I bought a Bruno plushie specifically so I could give him a hug.
@@agmarkwell There are Bruno plushies?
Great, now I want one of those as well! 😝
The music in the end was the real emotional part
I kinda like how at first the movie seemed to set Bruno up as the villain only to flip it and reveal he’s mostly a nice guy. Who’s just made a big sacrifice for his family
He's painted in a horrible light not because people are angry with him, but because they are of him. And that's not especially because he's a practical threat to them, either. It's about his magical power and how it and he have grown together to form something very, very different from everyday humanity. In another scene, the whole village watches little Antonio understand what animals are saying. 45 or so years earlier, the village watched another small boy bend Time and Space and do strange things with the fabric of the world in order to ply them with a piece of bad news...
That dreadfully sad look in his eyes when Mirabel poses the pertinent question is really everyone else's terror, reflected in its unlucky target.
And this is why he breaks our hearts. He has all the needs, and all the moral entitlements, but he still only ^*half-belongs*^ anywhere on this plane of existence.
Bruno may have left, but he _didn't_ leave
What I wanna know is how tf Bruno got all that furniture and fit it behind the walls of Casita? Casita must've helped him in some ways, expanding her walls so he could hide, sneaking him plates and things, stuff like that. Dunno how he got that big armchair in there though... Also does anyone else see the drawing on the wall in the background at 0:26? Can't tell what it is but it's so sweet yet sad to think of Bruno drawing a picture of his family or something because he's lonely. Also damn where did he get all those books from? Dude is well-read AND good at parkour? Why hasn't anyone married him yet?!
It has been said that his furniture is old stuff, that was already discarded by the rest of the family.
Yeah, even though no one in the movie talks about it, it is clear that Bruno is well-read, with all those books in his room.
And he's also artistic and creative and good with animals and just adorably awkward in the cutest possible way and simply a true sweetheart.
Really, it is like they just added detail after detail to make him even more lovely and amazing and wonderful to me.
It is like they knew me personally and created him with the sole purpose of making me develope a crush on a fictional character.
Except I know that I'm not Bruno's only fangirl, so it worked for many other people as well.
He wouldn't have had any problems with finding someone who would marry him if we could meet him. 😅
But alas, people in-universe had almost no chance to get to know him before the Casita crumbled and the magic disappeared.
Thus, he had to remain single due to his introverted and nervous personality and the awful rumors about him... ☹️
He certainly doesn't give his facilities -- such as they are -- much wear and tear.
He puts a lot more strain on the dishonest people around him. What a face...
When you realize that Bruno not only left to protect Mirabel from been resented by everyone but to also protect the whole family from living in fear, especially Abuela she was too traumatized of loosing her home, he just wanted them to live in peace.
It's just too heart breaking 💔
i still cant believed delores never told nobody about bruno for 10 years that just wrong.
Yet she blew Mirabel's secret in ten seconds.
But I guess that she wanted to protect him and respected his choice.
We are all slaves to our families' expectations.
When i saw this scene, i broke down crying because it hit so hard home to me. I know that feeling of wanting to be close to people, but not feeling welcome. I know it so much. And it's in a way liberating to see it in an extremely popular and loved movie, because it makes me feel seen.
And to think she voices Vaggie in the new Hazbin Hotel show is amazing.
I watched this movie four times
Yes the movie was just amazing
Bruno loooks like my dad
I couldn’t imagine Julieta being one of the ones to alienate Bruno. What if one of the reasons he left was because she was one of the few in his corner, besides Felix and Agustin, and telling her that her ungifted daughter may be the reason the family lost their gifts would cause her to act like the rest and blame him?
It's surprising that Bruno kept that vision since the night Mirabel didn't get her gift. He had that vision for 10 years
He didn't keep it. That night he broke the vision in his room (his magic room/tower in the Casita with all the sand) and the vision shards were left there all those 10 years. Mirabel retrieved the shards from his tower remember? And then the rats brought the shards to Bruno right after Isabela's ruined proposal dinner.
I can never get through this scene without crying
the painted Dinner plate. is the Saddest fuckign thing Disney has ever done. forget bambi Forget All the death. having Bruno craving and pretending to be apart of family dinners, breakfast, and all that is worst then all that.
I won't be uploading videos because it's time for me to go back to school
But am missing you guys a lot you have been the best people
Thank you all so much for supporting my channel
I blame the Grandma 👵.
If she really care about the family, she should have protected Bruno but instead she turned the family and the town Against him
You have to put yourself into Alma's situation to understand her actions.
She had seen her husband being murdered in front of her eyes on the same day as she had given birth to triplets.
And then, she had to raise three children as a single mother and run the town without having any time to heal from her trauma.
She had never planned to hurt her kids and grandkids, but she couldn't stop making mistakes out of her fear of facing another attack like the one where Pedro was killed.
Honestly Bruno had it SO MUCH WORSE than Mirabel, in my opinion at least...
now why the hell are u comparing trauma💀. Mirabel is literally 15 constantly left out, belittled, feeling useless and lonely. Yes bruno had a hard life too but it’s the fact y’all are comparing his experience to a CHILD??? like damn instead of saying bruno had it worse maybe focus on how messed up it is that either of them had to put up with how they were treated
@@lilac3266 well Bruno got his gift when he was child too just like everyone else, and yes, he might not have been belittled and left out or useless, but he was demonized, considered evil by the town's people and some of his family members, all because he wanted to help people with his gift, he was then driven to live in the walls where he always stayed close to family, and he lived there for probably 10 years!!! He was never mentioned by his family, or anyone again! So yeah, Mirabel didn't have a gift and was looked down upon because of it, but Bruno still had his gift and was demonized and denounced for it! And had to eventually live in the walls! And don't get me wrong I still felt really bad for Mirabell, but what happened to Bruno is in a WHOLE other league!
@@everettcosta1848 my point is you shouldn’t compare them?? that’s literally what the movie is about. Everyone assumed each person had it easier but they didn’t because everyone was struggling. U cant compare stuff like that. Also we don’t actually know Bruno’s childhood as he’s 50 at the time of the film he only became “not talked about” a decade prior. Yes he was probably not well liked in the town then but we don’t actually know about his child/teen/early adult years. Who knows maybe bruno was a golden child? The point is you cant make assumptions literally the message of the film
@@lilac3266 Yes, but there is one important difference between Bruno and Mirabel: their personalities.
Even if they both became scapegoated for things which weren't their fault, they handled the situation differently.
Mirabel still managed to be bubbly and upbeat most of the time and was liked by everybody except Abuela and Isabela, who were of course dealing with their own issues.
And as soon as things started to go really wrong, she had the pluck and optimism to try to do something about it.
Bruno was much less of a sociable person than Mirabel and had a hard time letting people get to know him before they shunned him.
And he was born with a more nervous and pessimistic personality and never thought that he could improve anything.
Not to mention that he had to spend ten years in isolation with only rats for company...
@@Furienna firstly mirabel was faking the upbeatness the whole time to hide the fact she felt so useless and secondly we don’t know when Bruno became like that. In the books it mentions he used to be the star child so maybe he was also upbeat and bubbly. Mirabel also wasn’t liked by everybody we quite literally see 90% of ppl forget or ignore her excluding her parents and Antonio. The townspeople also aren’t fond of her as revealed by the gut guy. My point is we shouldn’t say one had it worse because they have very different experiences. We don’t know how long bruno has felt this way and we do know that mirabel has felt it for her entire childhood. They have both suffered immensely and just because one of them pretends to be happy so nobody suspects anything doesn’t mean they actually feel that way.
I love this channel and this movie
I sympathize with Bruno about being wrongfully accused of being the bad son, my dad easily gets mad at me over anything and everything and my sister takes after him and defends him no matter what
I need to rewatch this.
Completely random, but I Bruno called Alma "Abuela" because that's what Mirabel knows her as and he probably knows her as "mom" or "mamma". Again, random but cute. IDK why that was noticeable to me...
Keep in mind that the family's history is more grey so I'm sure that Bruno being socially awkward led him to misunderstand few things.
emotional😢damage😲
Do you need a hug
This reminds me of my relationship with my nieces
It's been too long; this is almost three years old. But I must point out something about that table setting of his: the "plate" is really a sketch of the rim of his vision circle. The family tableware doesn't look anything like that. He likely drew it at age 5 -- not 35.
All the same, this part of the story is *not for the faint of heart!!*
Realize that Bruno could have died and no one would care
Dolores would have known... Which is almost worse!
I like to think that the Casita would have alerted them so they could save him, or that Dolores would have finally spoken up in time.
I fucking hate this plate scene I legit have to look away whenever this scene comes on because the first time I watched encanto this shit made me cry
The plate broke my heart bro

Me: Bruno, I think what you're trying to say is: "And...contrary to what everyone told you about me, I'm not a bad person...I just had bad luck".
That means that Bruno also saw the vision in the dinner table
I’m not crying your crying
I relate to much to Bruno
Why does he look like jesus
This movie really is a genuine masterpiece, and proof that in spite of what a lot of Disney haters want to believe, Disney has made some genuine masterpieces in recent years. But if there's one problem I have with the movie, it's that most scenes in the second half honestly go on for longer than needed. With scenes like this, then the scene where Bruno has the next vision, the flashback by the river, and the All of You scene. To the point where the song We Don't Talk About Bruno, which you'd assume is right before the last third of the movie, is actually just barely into the second half of the movie. Again, this is still a masterpiece, but this is one thing that bothers me about the movie.
It's interesting how different people's views and impressions of the same movie/scene can be. I personally don't feel like this scene went on longer than needed at all. If anything, I feel like it's one of the more well-paced scenes in the movie (I even didn't mind if it had gone on longer) compared to the rest of them that mostly went on TOO FAST imo.
Bro i was gonna wait when mirabel said you left to protect me? 😃🙃🥲🥲🥲
The dinner plate thing is extremely creepy. He was there the whole time eating with them from behind the painting.
Wowers Ay Caramba
I imagine that Dolores would cry silently in her bedroom after listening to these conversations. It's been since she was 11 years old. Like just how much stress she had to handle for having that oversensitive hearing, how she exposed tons of things (because she's had wayyy too much to contain them). The guilt for exposing Mirabel and those visions. Just how much this family endured, it's too much.
