"I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service" best line in the song imo
The most powerful moment in this song, to me, is the transition out of the bridge, where the scene goes red and Luisa catches those first two boulders. The look of pleading and despair she gives Mirabel and the growing horror on Mirabel’s face as she realizes what her family’s done to her sister. I felt that look down to my soul.
LITERALLY
The face of ‘See, Mira’? It’s not your fault but damn it’s hurting. I need help but I don’t know how to get out of this’, accompanied with the isolated piano/ soft music, along with the red lighting to show the danger if she carries on like this, and of course Mirabel’s face of realisation and sorrow, it’s just so powerful and maybe my favourite part of the whole song
I cried right there.
Agreed
@@katie_cant_compute And then when Mirabel does try to help and fails, Luisa puts on a confident face and starts juggling the house, dancing, etc. Basically saying "Don't worry, I've got it."
@@chromaticblue3976 There is a lot of emphasis on Luisa's physical strength but throughout the song she's also taking care of Mirabel emotionally, right down to the beat and the tempo. This could have been a sad, powerful ballad, but it's a song you can dance to*. Every time Luisa starts to let her vulnerability and pain show, she sees the look on Mirabel's face and she starts dancing or juggling a house with her feet.
*One of my favourite reactions was a guy grooving to the song with a huge smile on his face until the lyrics clicked in his mind.
This song and "We don't talk about Bruno" are the most popular songs right now. I feel like they're both going to hit a billion views by the end of February
100m sure but not billion.
@@Lord.stan69 it's Disney and a popular song. Plus in more than a month
@@Lord.stan69 It's already #5 in billboard hot 100 which is the highest position that "leu it go" reached, Probably is going to be the second Disney song to reach number one in history
@@youredelicious9945 Yep. Just went #1 this week. And Surface Pressure went Top 10, first Disney movie ever with 2 Top 10 hits. And damn near everything from Encanto is on that chart somewhere.
@@youredelicious9945 dude I see u everywhere 💀
My favorite part of this is Lin-Manuel wrote this for his older sister, I believe she is 6 years older. He pointed out one particular Christmas where their parents woke her up early to assemble his He-Man playset so it would be ready for him when he woke up
Luisa being the middle child really resonated with me cause she’s not the eldest perfect child who gets to make the first strides, she isn’t the youngest that’s allowed to mess up and is noticed for both good and bad, she simply IS. Luisa seems to work the most and gets the least recognition for everything. She’s expected to take care of her little sister and tries to keep her safe due to her lack of a gift and also expected to live up to the standards set for her eldest sister who is literally seen as the embodiment of perfect. It sucks too because it’s a thing that middle children tend to be forgotten, they are between everyone and get told a lot more than they should even know because they’re essentially the family’s emotional (in her case physical) pack-mule. You’ll here people check up on the youngest and the eldest but you don’t really here about how the middle child is doing, they tend to be unsung heroes quietly working to help maintain a balance within the family unit. That’s a lot of pressure.
Absolutely.
at the same time i feel theres alot of middle children who are very entitled due to this and think they deserve everything, not everyone of course, but i feel not alot of people realize that eldest and youngest children also have problems so i just wanted to mention it
Mood
@@wetham11 your comment comes off like "Oh they have problems unique to their life experience? I can't empathize without making some of them the bad guy so people can feel bad for other types of siblings."
Like fam. The movie is about how everyone has problems unique to their position in the family and they can still come together and empathize and work through things.
You don't have to have a "jerk sibling/bad guy" to get empathy and understanding. It's not a limited resource that is only given to the favorites. Only abusers and neglectful caretakers do that.
She’s actually the oldest i think 🤔
Outside of the lyrics, which are so fantastic and relatable that nearly everyone can feel, I love how protective Luisa is throughout the song. She's talking about her problems and pressures, all while making sure Mirabel is safe, moving her out of the way of danger. Such a wonderful character and song.
Him: "This is an encouraging song, I dig this."
Me : oh you just wait.
The messages in this movie are incredible. But you also can't be afraid to ask for help, no one can do it all. If you don't have siblings then ask other family or friends or neighbors. A good one to do next is "The Family Madrigal", because it tells you who everyone is.
Agreed, I also think the film showed the importance of checking in on your loved ones. Luisa and Isa were both struggling and both felt they couldn't ask for help because of the role they played. Both then warmed and opened up to Maribel simply by Maribel reaching out to them. Obviously it was easier to get Luisa to open up bcause they didn't have the same contention but still. Check in on people you love and try not to judge them without trying to see their perspective is definitely a message.
Actually, the whole movie is about toxic family roles that people can fall into. Luisa is the parentified child. The entire clip she is taking care of Mirable like some hero, but when she is free of concern, Mirable is far from her in the video. She feels responsible for taking care of her siblings and the "growing pressure" is the challenges of caring for them as they grow.
Exactly
It’s Mirabel*
As a parentified big sister this song had me bawling
I don’t think that’s how it is. Louisa isn’t just a parent sibling she takes care of literally everything her family wants her do to. The song is about her not feeling like she has any worth if she doesn’t have her gift and how much pressure the whole family puts on her by relying on her strength.
@@kenziebritton3580 you are right
_Surface Pressure_ is definitely my favorite song in Encanto - with the exception of _We Don't Talk About Bruno_ , of course. La Familia Madrigal is amazing as well and I hope to see it next/soon. Once you're done with Encanto, I'd love to see your reaction to some of the songs from Netflix's Arcane like _Enemy_ by Imagine Dragons and _What Could Have Been_ by Sting. Keep up the great reactions!
My top 3 picks are Family Madrigal, Surface Pressure and the butterfly song
My favorite is waiting on a miracle but Surface Pressure and we don't talk about Bruno are right there with it
my fav is probably dos oruguitas
My favorite part of this (besides literally everything), is the way Jessica lays super delicate vocals on the driving beat of the chorus right after the bridge. It crates this moment that feels so fragile. And then they drop a house on it and she shifts right back to beast mode. It's so beautiful and heartbreaking all at once.
Some added context for this song and why the donkeys feature so heavily in it. Because of Luisa's super strength the entire town basically uses her like a beast of burden for almost everything. She is constantly moving throughout the film doing physical errands for the town as her 'chores'. Luisa NEVER gets a day off.
I think the lyrics "would that leave some room up for joy or relaxation or simple pleasures?" really encourage people to not take on everything but to have balance. It's too important especially for kids and young people nowadays.
The Family Madrigal - It introduces the whole family
Waiting on a Miracle - Mirabel's song
What Else Can I do? - Great song with another positive message
All of You - Just wholesome
Two Oruguitas - This is the English version. The one in the movie is in Spanish, but both versions are so touching and beautiful.
In general this movie serves as a wonder starting point for people to realize that sometimes it's okay, not to be okay. And that you can definitely ask those who love you for help.
i love Waiting on a Miracle. i relate most to that song, followed up by Surface Pressure. Waiting on a Miracle is Mirabel’s Reflection, Part of your World, and other “I Want/Wish” songs
I can't pick a favorite. Each one touches me.
And Dos Oroguitas just... god. tears. But you need the context of the movie.
@@wtimmins It is incredibly difficult for me to listen to that song (Dos Oruguitas) without tearing up or out right crying.
@@SilentSympathy Be prepared to bawl, yawl.
"This is an encouraging song! this is an empowerment song! I dig this"
Last Famous Words
I adored your reaction btw ❤️
This is my absolute favorite song from the movie. Not only is the song itself great but I personally relate to it
You: I am not afraid to cry on the screen.
Me: *subscribes*
SAME
If you look at the boat that looks like the Titanic, it says M A D R I G A L resembling how much she feels the need to protect her family
I was eldest sibling in our asian family... the worker, the organizer, the most responsible, the adviser and the person they see as a mentally healthy anchor.
But recently, something very bad happened to me, caused me to loose every strength I had... Doctor diagnosed me with PTSD and depression. I felt so weak and had no worth. Blamed everything on myself...
I took anti-depressant when no one else knew, Not even my own siblings.
But I continued to project that strong facade for my family while trying to do therapy.. Bec that time, I was reviewing on my Board exam, they expect me to pass with high grades but I failed badly because I was mentally unstable... I felt their disappointment... they dont know the real reason. I lied to them that I am still okay. That Pressure continues to grow inside me... I am measuring my own pressure because of expectations from others.
I did not have the strength to be too open cause I feel that the time when they knew that im so broken, I would be of to no use...
Watching and hearing the song "Surface Pressure" hit me in such a way that it broke me that night, every beat built my anxiety inside.
The movie is very triggering and healing at the same time... And watching this encouraged me to talk to my family about everything that is happening to me. I want to fight this battle with them... Not alone...
Thank you for reacting into this song!
Hey. Do not think you are meant ton handle on that by yourself. Seek the help and support of those around us. Sometimes our biggest problem is not asking for help because we think it won't be there. But often the people we help the most are waiting for a chance to help us if we would only let them. Ask.
I wish you all the best
I'm the oldest of three and this song hit me hard. I've felt that pressure, that weight constantly being put on me. I've hid behind a mask of strength and resilience because I needed to be strong for my siblings. I didn't allow myself to break down in front of them because I didn't want them to worry or be scared, being scared was for me because I believed I could handle it.
My sister is the same way and whenever she calls me with any issues or advise, she tends to apologize for "bothering me" with her problems. Everyone needs someone to turn to and lean on no matter what.
This is my favorite song from the movie, mostly cuz the lyrics hit so deep, and the awareness it brings is good. Tho I will say that We Dont Talk About Bruno is my 2nd favorite, tho it's the one that's stuck in my head the most lol
both get stuck in my head equally lol
I don't wanna be rude but I thought you were gonna be a big tough crazy person but you are so wholesome. You actually understand the meaning of the songs and still bop along to them because they're all bangers.
I also think, concerning this song, the raw emotions she shared concerning the family burdens? Being the eldest-ish from my dad's side, I was the one who had to be responsible and mature. No mistakes could be made. I don't think it was done intentionally by my father but I remember him coming to my room and literally breaking down in front of me. I was just 13 and I was already having it hard and just seeing my father breaking down made me break down inside too. But since I was the older sister, I had to act tough and as though everything fine.
So when Luisa says 'Give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt her. See if she can handle every family burden, watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks.'
It rang too close to home.
And thats the beauty of this song, the expectations that are placed on you becomes lifelong shackles. Especially when you also have to carry other peoples burdens along side your own. Its just beautiful and touching that there's a song that opens up to this, its so raw and it tackles two subjects.
The expectation we have on her because of her so called gift, strength. So since she's strong, she can take anything. She can't feel vulnerable cause that's impossible right? She's so strong and all. She can't be vulnerable inside, thats unthinkable.
And the second is the title of Older sister, the responsibilities attached to that title is so heavy. Especially when your family is so broken and you have to bend over backwards to try and hold it up.
But man! I fell in love with your reaction with Bruno! And this one might have left me a tiny bit disappointed but thats probably because this song hits too close to home so all the lyrics are mind-blowing as well as the beat and the way the song was composed. But man, love your reactions.
If you're planning on watching Encanto, I also suggest that you don't listen to ALL of the encanto songs as that might ruin the surprise from the film? I mean, once you react to some of those songs, it might ruin your experience with the movie as you'll already have an idea of what to expect and you might start to understand the overall of the movie and its details ish despite not having watched the.movie.
And trust me, you deserve to be surprised by this movie because it brings so much raw emotions that you might truly appreciate going through. Thats my thoughts though xD
So the songs I recommend listening to would be 'Madrigal Family"
Its the best song thats non spoiler and that gives you an understanding of the whole family. Cheers mate!
The amount of double meanings and symbolic irony in this song is honestly mind blowing and amazing. Just about every little detail is built to be a realistic representation of the message. For example, the fact that when Luisa is singing “line up the dominoes, a light wind blows…” and the ‘light wind’ is a full blown tornado. Or that donkeys are the animal in this video, which are beasts of burden. The iceberg being enormous under the surface of the water. The song and it’s video are so amazingly crafted and is so impressive
This is my favourite song in the film. My secong fav is We don't talk about Bruno. Beautifully done songs...
Havent heard a disney song so relatable in a long time.
your opinions are really relatable and i like your channel because youre engaging well with the audience and not just being goofy to get views imo youre doing stellar
Thank you so much 🙏🏻❤️
@@KingFamilyReacts at 2:59 you said it was a encouraging song but I thought it was the complete opposite the song if you listen you'll find that it's extremely depressing and sad song.
Loving these reactions! The line in particular "I feel like I'm worthless if I can't be of service" really resonated with me and I appreciate this movie a lot for the messages it holds.
As for next reactions: I'd recommend, in this order: "The Family Madrigal" (first song in the film, and it establishes who everyone is), then "What Else Can I Do," and finally "All of You" (the final song which incorporates parts of all the other songs into it, so save it for last!)
That's such a great line. The other line I love is 'Give it to your sister and never wonder // If the same pressure would've pulled you under'
A favorite moment is right there at 2:35 where you paused. the look on her face, and she talks about the pressure that just won't stop. You see the stress, the pain, the sorrow at how much she is suffering and feels like no one notices. Its exhaustion at her responsibilities and the obligations placed upon her. That one frame alone says so much about her character. When you see the film, and see her character in context, it makes so much more sense.
On my first watch I got into an argument with my spouse because I said… soo they exploit her?! I was so mad on Luisa’s behalf… never saw anyone offer to help her at all (until she list her power at the end).
I'll admit, I cried when I watched the movie and this song started playing
This song hits me so close to home. In my family I’m seen as “the strong one”. Im the oldest of five siblings *and* a weightlifter. People think you’re indestructible when you have that much weight on you, but it really is a lot of pressure.
I am so glad I found your channel!!! *Surface Pressure* is ripped straight from my diary. I've sent the link for that video to many people and said "For those who said they want to KNOW ME, this song tells you all you need to know about me." Lin-Manuel Miranda is a true genius. What a blessing this movie is and I hope you watch *Encanto* soon! Thanks for your reaction video!!! 🤗🥰🎶👍🏽
This song needs to win all the awards. I know everyone is all about "We don't talk about Bruno", but this one just resonates with me.
Love how much you are enjoying these songs! If you’re continuing with the Encanto reactions, I’d say “The Family Madrigal” and “Waiting on a Miracle” are safe, but I’d REALLY recommend you DEFINITELY NOT watch “All of You” and probably not “Two Oruguitas” or “What Else Can I Do” either until you’ve seen the film - there are some great developments halfway through the movie and some emotional revelations that will be spoiled by those songs, and I wouldn’t want to put you in a position where those plot points don’t surprise you, because imho that’s the best way to enjoy a movie - as intended, in order, with all the context and the build of tension, etc etc. :)
Seconding this, I understand that perhaps you want to put out more videos but you could do that after you've watched the movie. But you do you! Everyone should enjoy this movie the way they want
Agreed! Don't watch those, they are spoilers!
I watched this with my youngest, who is 17, with her 2 friends (both 17 as well) and it was around 1am when it finished and she went into a complete breakdown for the psychological and philosophical messages and why this is a Disney Animated movie for adults with bits and pieces for kids. It was great to hear them talk about the in-depth meanings and messages, so proud to know that they aren’t just looking at the surface level stuff. But hurry up with the songs so you can get to watching the movie it is a great movie!! Enjoy! ❤️❤️❤️
You definitely need to watch the whole movie if you haven’t already because it’s a masterpiece!!!
"Dos Oruguitas" is a touching song, full of hope as things change around us. You will cry.
The big hug after the song is the best part.
Yay! So happy other people want to see you react to all the songs! I think all the songs have been listed in the comments so far so I just want to say thank you for your commentary and understanding. Positive words go a long way.
This song makes me cry every time I hear it
Lin-Manuel Miranda is just amazing. All of his music turns to gold. He wrote this for his sister as an apology and thank you to her. This song means a lot to me. I definitely relate
Encanto's songs talks about real problems with a great message near and certain. Really all movie have this thematic, for me the best disney movie in a long time. And the best music too
the imagery of her being literally crush to death by her family's house really makes my blood go cold every time
I felt for Louisa in the last verse her words said something else but her face screaming I'm hurting
“This is an empowerment song.”
Wellllllll……
Also Omg thank you for being one of the few to look past the badass beat and actually lyrics and meaning behind them
First off, I love that you actually go back a bit after a pause, it's a different impact when the beat drops or tons changes than if you go to it straight after a pause. I really appreciate that.
Also, it's crazy how relatable this song is and how heavy the theme is, while also being a straight bop. I feel like the Bruno song overshadows it a little but to me, this is the best song of the movie due to how hard it slaps and the message behind it. Bruno is fun and catchy but it's not much meaning behind it aside from story telling for the movie plot.
I AGREE! So many people say "We Don't Talk About Bruno" is the best, but that's only for three reasons:
1. Camilio sings
2. People are a simp for Camilio
3. They sing a song talking about Bruno while saying "we don't talk about Bruno"
I was really confused why no one is talking about this song, but then I realized people are obsessed with a character who had two lines. I thought it was on me cause I just really related to this song so much. I did not at all get the message that this reactor did, about telling someone these feelings.
{spoilers for the movie obviously)
If anything, I feel like the movie should have gone back and focused on it a bit more. She talks about all these problems, Mirabel does nothing about it, abuela does nothing about it, Luisa cries in the rest of her scene leading to the climax of the actual story and... now it's the end of the movie. And no one told me how this character arch was resolved? If it was resolved at all? Like, we don't have any closure on how she delt with it. Yeah, she could have had some time to reflect and figure it out by herself, but I doubt it. This has obviously been a "growing pressure", so she's hidden it for so long, so well, and only 'broke' when she was scared that she'd lose her powers. At the end, she was no longer afraid of losing her powers on top of everything else, so it would be so so easy to go back to hiding it all. Which I know from experience. We don't see anyone go to console her or talk to her about it. At the end I think they barely mention it briefly, and swiftly move onto the oldest sister's conclusion of her character arch and the main character's, the end.
At the very least, hopefully some people can listen to the song and decide to reach out to someone about how they relate to the song. And hopefully the other person can help them. I'm glad I'm seeing this song be more popular than I originally thought it was.
" *I Glow Cause I Know What My Worth Is* " - Luisa Magdril #Encanta is the most influencencil line from this movie 🥵 #TheKingFamilyReacts
i like how you explained the song in fact and this is what meant
I really love all the songs from this movie. The rest of the songs are, The Family Madrigal, Waiting On A Miracle, What Else Can I Do, Two Oruguitas, All Of You, and Colombia Mi Encanto.
I love all about this movie, I can relate to the songs Waiting On A Miracle, Surface Pressure, What Else Can I Do, and All Of You. This movie is perfect.
I think this has been my favorite reaction to the song so far.
Surface pressure in my opinion defines depressing positivity
Real men know that it's perfectly ok to cry.
King You are such a healthy human being. Very balanced and great that you are sharing it with all of us. Bing fan here
Honestly, react to them all! There’s only 5 left but of those I would recommend “The Family Madrigal” and “What Else Can I Do?” the most.
This just might be by favourite reaction I've seen to this song.
The song makes you wanna get up and Dance the moment you hear it but the lyrics....
And it makes me understand how she's wondering if she cold free some room up for herself and enjoyment you know.
Wow you are motivation and your reaction has encouraged me.
I just watched this and your "We don't talk about Bruno" video's both great. My phone's recommended was spot on. And I'm so glad you had similar thoughts to this song that I did that it sends such a great message to people. Overall this movie is a great step for Disney on being really on par to real life problem's and that there's no great evil or wrong do'er, just people living and what problem's can pop up as a result. When you do watch the movie please tell us your reaction or thoughts on it cuz this is a rare one Disney wise and I'd love to know your opinion as you said your not a big animated film watcher and I'm the opposite I mostly watch animated. As for another song from this movie I'd suggest reacting too would be "What else can I do" that Isabella sings.
Loved your interpretation of the titanic scene, I didnt even think of it that way!
Never knew before this song, this movie, how much I needed to see dancing donkees, & unicorn donkees! 😍
Encanto is inspired by the clothes, the food, the fauna and landscapes in Colombia South America and the magical culture of Colombia. I really liked your reaction
I really like two orugitas from this movie but I have to say, the song is way more touching and powerful when you watch the scene of the movie too!
I love how empowering you are!
I also love how between this song and Isabella song, we see they are both opposite of what they WANT to be. Isabella is Ms Perfect, but she wants to be out, wild, and covered in dirt and pollen.
Luisa is the big, tough fighter, but she really wants to be the girly feminine one, jumping on pink clouds and riding a sparkly pink donkey-corn.
Every time I rewatch this I think about that small moment, while the doors line up like dominoes, as Luisa just so smoothly and without hesitation (waiting for even Mirabel to realize she needs something) puts herself between her sister and everything, just a quick animation that speaks SO MUCH but blink and you miss it.
I suppose the songs meaning gets a bit lost without context since u feel encouraged to go on without bending and stayin tough, tho with context its a song about how she doesnt feel allowed to break and make mistakes nor to take a break, she has to carry the house (as she literally did) and she is scared of failling everyone, thinking she is worthless if she takes breaks she actually needs
A lot of older siblings in latine families feel this preassure since they get into a parental position from young ages on the moment the lil sibling/cousin comes to life
"Oh it's an empowerment song" BRUH You about to be slapped in the face
I'm not entirely sure if i agree that this song is about "fighting the good fight" and working through the pressure. When I listen to this song, and watch the animation along with it I'm seeing that those things are the issue. The issue is that she needs a break, she needs less pressure, she needs to release them family burdens. The most important moment to seeing this, in my opinion of course, is when the house completely falls on her. Yes, she gets up but it's not at all healthy or maintainable.
I love this song more than "we don't talk about Bruno" and i love also "what else i can do"
its that big sister song that most big sisters would understand and feel something for it. its a shame my big brother and sister are monsters. and they wouldnt understand this message if they even tried... as much as i know this means a lot to people...
I really love waiting on a miracle :)
First time here and for some reason your reactions and input seem very genuine and you come off as the “big teddy bear” kinda guy. Keep it up as I hit subscribe!
Plot twist - “the ship doesn’t swerve. Has it ship heard how big the iceberg is? “ SHE is the iceberg and the ship is coming directly at her. But she can handle it.. there so much more of her below the surface.
I always get chills
I also love "waiting on a miracle". It's another one people can relate to. Keep up the good work 😃
Enjoyed your reaction. Agree how relatable the song is. I think the whole movie is - in the sense of how we can feel about others without thinking or realizing what’s actually going on with the other people (inner and outer pressures). I do like the positive message it gives. It’s one of the reasons I like this channel, I always feel better after watching your reactions. Agree with the other suggestions Family Madrigal introduces everyone, probably the best one to do next.
"Waiting on a Miracle" is also a great song in this movie.
crying keeps us strong...
I was watching this movie together with my little sister, and when this song came on, she asked me if that is how I feel, I literally broke down and cried and she joined in lol, I love my family
Congrats on 90k subs
Thank you 🙏🏻❤️
The lyrics "Give it to your sister it doesn't hurt, and see if she can shoulder every family burden" then the image of Luisa getting crushed by the house is so strong of a message to me.
I high recommended The family Madrigal, waiting on a miracle and What else can I do. This is the others3 fantastic song that u maybe would like the movie has others 3 but that u can see u the movie itself
What Else Can I Do?
The Family Madrigal
Waiting On A Miracle
Hey bro, while I think the lesson you draw at the end is a commendable goal, and is something we should all strive for, there's another element to the song that really comes through in context with the movie, and has some clues here. When Luisa says, "I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service," that's wrong, man! She has intrinsic worth as a person, regardless of her abilities. The various family members focusing on their magical powers, their standing within the family as a result, and Mirabel's apparent lack of standing (and worth) because she doesn't have a magical gift, is causing cracks in the family members, and in the house. Luisa's little eye twitch that Mirabel points out at the beginning is a clue. There are toxic pressures at work in 'the family Madrigal', including within Luisa, which must be healed.
So while, as I say, it's commendable that Luisa puts up a brave front, handles everything that's given to her to handle, serves to the best of her ability and gift, that SHOULD all give her a sense of accomplishment.... NOT be the reason for her feeling she has no worth as a person, and yet that's what she's taking away from it. If she were approaching it healthily, she would be pleased to be of service, happy for her gift that gives her that ability, doing her best, and no more to it. However, she starts out 'behind the 8 ball', so to speak, trying to make up a deficit, a feeling that she's worthless if she doesn't do all these things. And that's not only wrong, it's counterproductive, as it shifts everything from her running toward a good thing and enjoying her successes, and makes it into running away from a bad thing for fear of being a worthless person. Just ain't healthy....
Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote all the songs, same guy as Hamilton and Moana.
You have one of the more positive outlooks of this song I've yet seen. How Luisa is actually pushing through the struggle and insecurities she holds instead of slowly being crushed by her family expectations and what other people want her to do. Maybe it comes without context since you haven't seen the movie. IDK but good reaction.
I love watching reactions to songs and scenes but surface pressure is one of those songs so many misunderstand, this one included because they lack the context of the movie. This song isn’t about believing in yourself and knowing that you can do things. This song is about tying your feelings and your personality to one aspect of yourself and feeling that if you can’t be that then you’re nothing. This song isn’t a song of affirmation it’s a plea for help because Louisa feels that no matter what she gets asked she Hass to be able to do it she cannot fail and thus is always under immense constant pressure
After this song I want 2 things for Luisa. 1: That she requests some much needed mental health leave from Encanto and 2: She requests a trade to the MCU to confirm my sneaking suspicion that she's worthy of lifting Mjolnir.
The titanic and iceberg reference is great because the crash and sinking was 100% preventable. But they got cocky about how big and strong the ship is, praised for being unsinkable, and they took less precaution and relied too much on it. Luisa is the titanic. The ship doesn’t swerve, despite the many things other people could’ve done to prevent it. She is expected to face every burden head on with no help.
My reaction to the song was very similar to yours. Watching your reaction I felt as I watching myself when I heard the song for the first time. I like to know that somebody felt so similar thing even at the realization that this is a good song. When Luisa sings “drip, drip, drip…” Excellent reaction brother.
This is my favorite some of the movie but all of them are excellent. Also, Being the middle child in my family and the one seeking always for the good of my family I identify myself with the character and many times I could also feel that same pressure like Luisa’s.
Great reaction!
8:43-8:48 is definitely me getting ready conquer my daily battles *smiles*
I am a new subscriber... You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!! Everyone goes through some form of pressure.
But that isn't the message.
I heard in an interview that Lin Manuel Miranda wrote this song as an homage to his older sister.
youre so cool! i love your reacts, already sub!
As a man, I've cried every time I've heard this
*DON'T WORRY, NO SPOILERS HERE!*
"Who is she and why is she so strong though?"
You literally read the movie summary: "Each member of the Madrigal Family is blessed with a unique gift." Obviously, Luisa's gift is super strength! 💪
I LOVE YOUR REACTION
I’m obsessed with you I like Your videos
