What's sad af is that is not just Abuelo Pedro's sacrifice which gave them the miracle, it was Abuela's suffering what actually made the miracle happen, it was her wish for home, for safety, to put a barrier between her and those who wished her harm which made the Encanto. It's pretty heartbreaking. This movie is about the generational trauma of Latino families, and how we all act like everything is fine but our homes are broken, because it is a Latino thing to ignore what goes wrong, to keep quiet. Suffering is done in silence. And this is how the cycle gets broken.
@@jimjimcherie ahh okay then. & yes I'm Asian living in Asia. While the culture is different, the pattern of having intergenerational traumas in our society like this is the same.
@@resurgingflame thanks for sharing that, I had an idea because I have Asian friends, but I didn't want to go ahead and just talk for a whole group of people. It's a common thing I've noticed in minorities, even when it's in their home countries where they aren't minorities. I'm Latina and I live in Latin America and it still goes on here. Though, I've also noticed it's the worst in immigrant families, I imagine it's because of the need to just keep going so they're able to succeed, even if success looks like simply staying afloat. It's a sad thing.
I think Mirabel's gift is empathy. She knew how Antonio was anxious and she was the only one that had a gift for him - a stuffed animal because she knew he loved animals. She was the one who realized Bruno wanted to go home the most. She gave Luisa a hug because that was what she needed the most. She helped Isabela realize how it was okay to not be perfect. She understood how Abuela must have suffered all those years because she was all of them - anxious about the future, needed to be strong, needed to be perfect, isolated herself to protect the family. Abuela said the cracks started when she was born. But I think she was born because the cracks started. That's why Mirabel had no door - a room for herself. Because the casita had always been her room - a room where all her family can stay with her.
The is not as simplistic as you see it. The film is steeped in mystical realism. Butterflies is one component in Colombian culture. Colombian writer and Nobel prize winner Gabriel Garcia Marquez features these things in his work. His novel "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is one example. (Also, one point of information, the animals are all from the region which includes jaguars, capybara, coati, hummingbirds, toucans, etc. There are no leopards or tigers in South America). 🙂
this movie is so deep it talks about things Disney never talked about, family and psychological problems,And much more than just an animation, there is no villain but people like us... Disney got it right in this movie that for me is not for children but for all ages
according to Google, Isabela is the oldest at 21, Dolores 20, Luisa 19, Camila 15 (a few months older than Mirabel, also 15) and Antonio is 5. I had to look it up because on first watch I assumed Mirabel was 18-20ish, and when I learned she was supposed to be 15 a lot of her impulsive decisions made a lot more sense (to me, at least.)
Here's another 2 cents: I think Mirabel is her Abuela's successor--neither of them have powers, but both were sources of the miracle. Abuela's miracle was wrought by grief, pain, tragedy and sacrifice; but she lost sight of what really mattered once she started seeing & judging her family solely on their gifts, rather than as people. Mirabel suffered trauma as well, but the source of her miracle came from her reaching out to her family & truly understanding them as humans who felt burdened by their gifts; she even finds a new level of understanding & compassion with her Abuela (who must've been dealing with PTSD, which can traumatize generations). So she bridges the disconnects (or "cracks") that had been building within the family. Mirabel discovered those cracks and passionately sought to fix them, while everyone else ignored them (like Mirabel's dad) or tried to patch them up (like Bruno); however, by that point, the original foundations laid by Abuela had been crumbling for years & HAD to collapse so that room could be made for a more solid base, provided by Mirabel. The house was rebuilt with no magic, but with love & understanding--by both the family & community--which resulted in much stronger foundations. So both of Bruno's visions came true! I feel like Isabella resented Mirabel for being giftless--with those gifts come extra expectations & burdens, right? She probably assumed Mirabel had more freedom & felt less pressure, so she's actually secretly jealous. The vision of Mirabel hugging her sister was another clue that she had to truly reach out & discover what was important, thus fixing the breach (another set of "cracks") that had kept them at odds. Anyway, thanks for reading my novella, lol! I loved y'all's reaction, and I'm glad to have stumbled upon it! I hope you guys react to more films, rather than series in the future
Oh we didn't think of the disconnects as the cracks. That's a really good point. We also like your take on the potential gift of Mirabel. It would make sense the way the movie played out and we like how it would connect back to Abuela. Thanks for watching! And we plan to try and add more movies to the channel going forward.
her door was the whole house, that's why she didn't get one inside the house, also did you notice the umbrellas were the color of the columbian flag. i love this movie, my daughter who just turned 7 yesterday loves this movie, she watched it before me with her class, and one night in bed i decided to watch it myself and i loved it. we don't talk about Bruno is my 1st favorite song, and then my 2nd is Surface Pressure. Dolores the one who can hear things i like her part in the song we don't talk about Bruno, and then i love Camilo's part where he has the power to change into other people, i like his part the best, he's one of my favorite characters. one of the best modern Disney movies today, and that's coming from someone who grew up with classic Disney movies back in the 90' which are STILL the best ones.
Guys! This movie talks about generational traumas and breaking the cycle, self worth and self value, forced displacement because of violence, effective communication, all through magical realism…and all you can say is “Aww, feel good movie, so pretty”?
No real antagonist - they let the real problems within the family shine instead of forcing some kind of villainry tearing it apart. Everyone was doing the best they could with the tools they had, but it wasn't enough until they broke down some barriers and developed new understanding and new tools. This is not a typical Disney movie. Take away the magic, and this could be a real family with the same problems. And while it's simplified because Disney and kid-friendly, the solutions are the real solutions - communication, empathy, and admitting your own faults so that you can work on them and do better. It's beautifully drawn and animated, and the music is 100% bops/tearjerkers, but the best thing about this movie is how grounded it is in reality even while layering all the magic on top.

I wanna say that it's not just limited to Lation family alone. A LOT of Asian families are like this as well.
@@resurgingflame i didn't want to speak for Asian people as I am not asian, but I am Latina. I think it's a common thing in minorities period.

btw, luisa isn't the oldest, she just older than maribel. Isabela is the oldest sibling!

Yeah you should react to some movies too
And post it on UA-cam that would be great
We really love to see your reactions ❤️🥰
Funny how the one with immigrant background gets the movie and the other one, well... not really.
What does one have to do with the other tho?
@@saltyfish7626 because the movie portrays something that lots of immigrants experienced?
@@vickylikesthis Ok I guess. Why the question mark tho I couldn't know.
Also are they even immigrants because I think they aren't?
@@saltyfish7626 the question mark was because it was a guess based on the original comment.
@@vickylikesthis oh makes sense💀
Louisa is the middle child of 3 sisters. Mirabel is the youngest nd Isabella is the oldest
Just for curiosity: Luisa is the middle child(19), when she says oldest she is referring herself to Mirabel, Isabela it's the oldest child(21)
Typical???? I didn't see a white princess in a Castle dreaming about her prince . This waa not Typical.
Best movie ever!
I just watched this to watch the movie for free
Her room is in the nursery :(
Oh ok, we didn't know if they told us where her room was and we missed it. So we just joked that it was like Harry Potter
@@bigbodybokentertainment2780 Haha, I figured 😂 I'm not upset at you guys btw, I just put the sad face because the nursery is her room
@@bigbodybokentertainment2780
In a way, it is like Harry Potter. He was stuck under the stairs; she was stuck in the nursery.
And please react to "All of us are dead"
React to "all of us are dead" ❤️❤️❤️
