What else should we react to? 🤔 Comment below! Also if you like the song in the intro support the channel directly & download/stream my new album ‘Blacklist’ now 🖤 song.link/blacklistalbum
Knox, this is simply the power of *Lin Manuel Miranda* If anyone knows about clever bars and storytelling it’s him. I suggest checking out *Hamilton* and *the Heights*
This film and the elements in it are so layered it's just incredible. Yup that's why we end up watching so many reactors and people's comments so we can find out all the different layers and our brains that were already amazed become even more mind blown with everything and how complex and deep and meaningful every little bit is.
@@JutlandAngel For me the part of this song that stands out as a cool detail, is that Camilo sings Bruno has a seven foot frame. Yet he transforms into him, and is clearly no where near that big. Visually this puts a doubt in our mind about everything else Camilo is saying about Bruno. However because he also transforms into other people at varying sizes, it doesn't fully spoil the twist.
What you said about Bruno being blamed for natural events and him being a false prophet. He's not so much a false prophet, 'cause his prophesies are legit (that's literally his gift). It's just a case of: "Don't shoot the messenger."
And he can do positive prophecies, as shown by Mirabel pushing him to find the butterfly. People just ask him about negative stuff I assume and are surprised when shit goes down lol
I have a feeling a lot of the stuff the villagers blamed him for was him striking conversation. Like “hey your fish are gonna die” cause maybe she was shaking the bowl a lot. Cause he mentions later he didn’t prophesize the weather, he just thought Pepa looked nervous (cause she controls the weather)
He's actually a real prophet(that's his gift) but he actually says that he said this because the woman wih the fish didn't took care of it properly, the fat man ate a lot, and etc, even in pepa's wedding he says that he just saw how nervous she was and that it wasn't any prophesies(bc to make a prophesie he was to make a whole ritual-)
@@who_needs_stairs, I actually also read a post/comment somewhere that stated that it could've been just Bruno basically wishing Pepa a happy wedding, because in the local culture, rain on your wedding day means good fortune
my opinion is he doesnt really do alot of prophesies unless its family i mean all the villagers one are incredibly stupid thing and with how much work it seems to take with the one we see i would of just told them thing that are obvious
Fun fact: since Dolores has super hearing, people normally doing stuff is really loud for her so that’s why she does stuff really quietly in the movie so when she’s quiet it’s normal for her and that’s why she was whispering singing in the movie 👌
Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote Hamilton and all of its music (Encanto's music as well). He actually cited Eminem as one of the main lyricists he studies to put his verses together
My favorite part is when Dolores gets her bit. It gives us a taste of her super hearing as every motion is amplified. The swish of their skirts, and the stomping of their feet, creates an underlining bass that just hits hard.
@@kellyalves756 I know this is gonna make me sound completely uncultured, and I apologize in advance, but isn't Tapatillo the name of that one Mexican hot sauce? Again, I am sorry.
@@missnoelmags5515 Not my culture- except I’m Californian, so they taught us Spanish colonial folk dances in Elementary School. It’s just a fun, percussive dance that serves the scene well.
About Pepa saying "He flood my brain": She has the power to control the weather, but that power is heavily influenced by her emotions, so when Bruno prophesized rain, he flood her brain with the thought of rain, which caused it to actually rain (bc that's her powet). About Dolores's whispering: She probably whispers because her power is an extremely good sense of hearing.
But later he admits that he knew she was stressed and nervous and was trying to hold it back. He basically threw himself under the bus and gave her a reason to "let it go" and allow herself to feel she's allowed to show all of that and then the weather just followed. I love that he did that for her then allowed himself to take the blame.
4:40 actually there is another meaning to it, because everybody in this family has a special gift/power and Pepa's (the ginger haired woman) power is that her emotions affect the weather around her and Bruno can tell the future, so when Bruno says it looks like rain, it literally floods Pepa's brain, because she starts to panic and causes the hurricane because of that.
They blamed him for the hurricane, but what was funny was it wasn't even a prophecy, he was just joking like little brothers do, he saw she was stressed and made a joke and they thought he made it happen 😂😂
I’m hoping someone else mentioned it as well, but Bruno’s name was originally going to be Oscar, but Lin asked for it to be changed to flow better and that’s why we have “Bruno-no-no-no-no” and why his name is Bruno in final production. They wanted it to flow with the songs and instrumentals in the background which I find to be an amazing detail on everyone wanting things to flow well for the music and stories within the songs.
This just fits with my theory that they realize Lin’s genius and they’re just like “let’s let him write a bunch of songs to fit with a vague plot line, and then write the movie AROUND the songs”
@@edadragneel1569 idk about the other stuff but that is literally how Luisa’s entire story was developed. They gave Lin a character that was just a “strong older sister” and gave him entire creative freedom for the song. He then came back with Surface Pressure which guided the team in creating her as the strong yet vulnerable character we know
it was a good call because it also translate well in other language ( no-no-non in french, ne-ne-ne in croatian, no-no-no in spanish and in italian, ) and in most language negation star with an N.
Fun fact: most of the “doubles” you noticed are triples with the context of the characters and the movie. Also, the whole song is about peoples misunderstanding of Bruno and his gift.
Yeah, like Dolores' line "I associate him with the sound of falling sand." 1. It is the sound of falling sand. 2. The "tsss" sounding like "shhh" for quiet, we don't talk about him. 3. Bruno's motif is an hourglass. It's on his clothes, door and in his room.
10:43 - This song is used in the film as a kind of play on words. The name of the family concerned in the plot is 'Madrigal'. The term 'madrigal' is an older English term for a type of song - multiple melodies are introduced, one at a time. Then they are all sung at the same time. It's a creative type of songwriting technique which was popular in England in the 16th and 17th centuries. (Late 1500s to the early 1600s).
There something I find amazing that I never hear anyone commenting on. For the dude who can transform, I absolutely love how the texture of his voice switches between smooth and rough as he transforms from young and old. It makes it sound...almost chaotic? But intentionally chaotic and it fits so well.
@@KnoxHill 9:02 her background music sounds like pop music not necessarily tropical or vibing out music. But I love her hearing ability which means you can't keep a secret and I find that abit.. "Intrusive" 🤕✌
Knox, this is simply the power of *Lin Manuel Miranda* If anyone knows about clever bars and storytelling it’s him. I suggest checking out *Hamilton* and *in the Heights*
"these are all natural things that happen, but they all balmed it on bruno" i never thought about it that way but holy shit!!! def reminds me of how the entire family blamed bruno for their misfortunes. as much as bruno loved his family, he couldn't take all the blame and the toxicity and just "left".
another things Bruno can probably see whole timelines and using the glass helps his mind not turn to goo. he also follow the trope of the seer know what will happen and give the future in mysterious phrases or rhymes that you forget till the event happen is happening. take future of his family. Dolores love would be betrothed to another by half the movie we find out she likes the guy abuela chose for Isabella. now Isabella's future was to be free and do as she wanted and thanks to Mirabel she no longer has to be the perfect child she can make mistakes and her powers grew more that she thought. Mirabel had decide if after finding out the whole truth would she help heal her family or would knowing and then deciding everyone would live better if the family broke apart and live with their own families
Later in the film Bruno literally explains that he wasn't predicting any of the things in the song, he saw the rainclouds, that other guy's eating habits, something about the fish and the bald guy, but everyone was so on edge about him they thought he was causing bad luck with his powers.
@@SergioLeRoux well the rain clouds was him trying to relieve his twin's tension over getting married and having the powers she does it backfired. Fish was in too small bowl
Well, and remember what was said about the only other negative prophecy mentioned in the song: "bruno says it looks like rain" which then gets resolved in the finale song: "Pepa, I'm sorry about your wedding day, I didn't mean to be upsetting, that wasn't a prophecy I could just see you were sweating and I wanted you to know that your bro loves you so, let it in, let it out, let it rain, let it snow, let it goooooooo"
Saying "it looks like rain" means you don't think the marriage is going to last. And he said that... During a wedding... And he is a fortune teller... Even though he didn't mean it that way, that's how Pepa took it, and why she was still so upset about it. Which is why he had to specify later that it wasn't a prophecy.
People talk about Dolores whispering because of her super hearing but I’m more interested in how fast she sings. She delivered lines twice the speed of any other verse, now my theory is that she talks so fast because the conversation and rumors, etc can slip by immediately so she needs to talk fast to keep up with things, and it probably helps her not get lost in others conversations when she talks fast. Or maybe she’s just a natural fast talker. Now this is a bad analogy of mine, but I myself am surrounded my sounds and can barely focus on what inn writing, so I’ll need opinions to get my brain working instead of being clouded by the sounds around me
11:11 fun fact: if you look closely you will see the fish lady at first but as the camera pans dolores appears into frame in place of where the fish lady was
@@LeonC0704 In the song "All of you" he even apologizes and says he didn't mean to make her upset and that the rain wasnt even a prophecy, he was trying to lighten her mood with a poorly timed joke, but it backfired because he's awkward and bad at socializing because by that point he was already pretty withdrawn because people blamed him for his prophecies (that they asked for mind you) and didn't like what they heard, its a classic case of shooting the messenger. He wasn't being malicious or purposely trying to upset her and ruin her wedding. He even tells her to stop holding back her emotions and let everything out, which is the healthier way to deal with things, as she tends to bottle things up and that's what gets her so worked up in the first place. He loves his family and doesn't want to hurt them on purpose, he's just bad at socializing
He apolosed for that, it wasn't a prediction even, she misremembered it as well as misunderstanding it. He saw how she had been bottling things up to make everything perfect (the issue all the others have been having, the matriarch had been convinced they should all be perfect and always helping others to earn the blessings they were cracking under the strain). He was reassuring her that partner would always be there for her come rain or storm, she should relax and stop worrying always. You can see the stress and anxiety in her throughout the film, trying to think happy thoughts and stroking her hair to calm down or get told off for allowing a bad mood create a storm.
Just in case it helps. Everyone in Encanto related by blood has a super power except our protagonist. The first generation: Pepa (woman who had her wedding day ruined): controls the weather with her emotions Bruno: can see the future Julieta: can heal anyone with her cooking 2nd generation: (in relation to the protagonist) Cousin Dolores (second singer): can hear everything Cousin Camilo: shapeshifter Sister Isabella: controls flowers Sister Louisa: super strength Mirabel: protagonist with no powers
11:17 What I've started also noticing here after enough listens is how Camilo's part actually switches up the way he sings the end of his part, which I really really like... I don't know how many people noticed it too, but listen to his part and then try to pick out his voice in the collage and you'll hear the difference. Also this song literally won't leave my head, "Surface Pressure" and "We Don't Talk About Bruno" are just stuck in there on loop no matter what I do :'P
If you listen carefully Isabella (dressed in the light purple) has a secret line when they’re all singing and dancing around Mirabel. When she passes in front of the camera, you hear her sing, “I’m fine! I’m fine! And I’m fine!”
@@po-tay-toe No, it was Isabella singing the "I'm fine" lines. It's a reference to a major plot point. All that stuff from Isabella's earlier lines (he told me that the life of my dreams would be promised and someday be mine / he told me that my power would grow like the grapes that thrive on the vine) is the only prophecy that hasn't come true yet. Her power doesn't start to grow until her personal song later on in the movie, 'What Else Can I Do'. So when she sings 'I'm fine', it's an early hint that, like Luisa, Isabella isn't actually fine. At this point in the movie, she's not living the life of her dreams and her power is stagnant (nothing but perfect flowers).
@@hauntedshadowslegacy2826 You have it wrong man. Dolores was singing it too but Isabella was singing louder than her, Another bonus is you can she hear mouthing it but so is Isabella. Possibly referencing her being overlooked by Isabella cuz yk the whole "man of my dreams"
My favorite part is Dolores' because when she says "associate him with the sounds of falling sand shh shh shh" her "shh shh shh" also replaces the shakers and I just love that small detail.
He is not fake. The whole idea of Encanto is that Bruno and his family have magic gifts and his gift was the ability to see the future. But whenever he saw something bad or something someone didn't like, they started blaming him for making these bad futures. Also Pepa the woman at the beginning her ability is that the weather changes according to her feelings and mood.
During Dolores's part you can actually see Bruno dancing in the background on the top floor. It's a dark shadow with a green hue around it. Even Bruno couldnt help but dance to his song lol
If you know anything about Lin-Manuel Miranda, you know he’s a lyrical genius, best known for Hamilton (which is all rap) and In The Heights (again, basically all rap). He also did the Moana soundtrack which is great. Absolutely adore the man.
We Don’t Talk About Bruno is essentially exposition in song done right. It’s so catchy and will be stuck in your head and yet lyrically it is pivotal to the story of the film.
I just like that they made the effort of animating Mirabel unconsciously dancing through the song. Like the song is so dang catchy that she can't stop herself.
This isnt talked about enough but i love how most of the instrumentation during delores part is actually her footsteps as if everything else got quiet due to her hearing ability
Yes.. its An AMAZING WORK OF ART... The story The backstories The symbolism The Harmonies Fam Madrigal/MagiCal Mirabel/Mirable... Madrigal also a Musical Harmony.. Its Brilliant.. Im a 41yr old father of Three and have seen the movie in the double digits times .. Straight Bar loving Hip Hop Head and writer myself.. Just saying... Encanto Enchanted me...
Aweee this is just magnificent it really brings up the family through this movie i myself a teen and my father really liked this movie so as my whole family this movie is really amazing we couldn't agree more
I don’t know if you watched the movie already but when dolores said “i associate him with the sound of falling sand... shh.... shh... shhh” well his room is actually full of sand and his clothes have a sand hourglass imprint lol and i thought it was funny how when they are all singing around Mirabel the last line is “he’s here!” Talking about Isabela’s ‘to be fiancé’, but i immediately thought they were talking about Bruno since they are singing about him (and spoiler he’s actually still there probably hearing them lol)
Another reading of “sound of falling sand” is that that’s how she interprets the sound of him obsessively throwing salt and sugar over his shoulder for luck.
Knox, you will have this stuck in your head for awhile and you won't even realize it until you randomly start humming and singing it out of nowhere lol.
@@vianaafsharjahanshahi4255 he kept pausing and rewind the video every 2 seconds and i was getting annoyed, ik why he does it but cmon he made a 3:30 video (i think) into almost a 14 minute video. I get it because of the copyright stuff but youtubers dont do that
7:17 I haven't really listened to this song before now, but why do they dislike him for what he says coming true? His gift is to know the future so shouldn't they know that?
His gift is to see a possible outcome of the future,and everyone usually assumed that when he had a vision about someone,their fates were sealed and there was no changing that. They also think he makes the future.
I always loved how he flips the “he told me” verses toward the end “he told me that the life of my dreams” are all ascending, highlighting the positive prophecy, contrasted with the “he told me that the man of my dreams” is flipped upside down, descending in pitch to highlight the sorrow. Subtle, simple, nice touch
Petition to get Knox to go down a Lin-Manuel Miranda rabbit hole. You need to do surface pressure and The Family Madrigal (so you know the premises of these songs) also please do some Hamilton songs as they are bar heavy as well (watching the entire musical is very much recommended as well 😉)!!
10:07 finally! someone acknowledges Mariano's funky walk, as if hes on the runway strutting his stuff. Also, does Mariano not see Camilo undoubtedly mocking him? Is he blind? Is that why he "couldn't see" Dolores??? We need answers people!
Did no one notice Isabela sings “I’m not fine” at the end of the song (at the end of her verses when they all sing)? It’s so creative cause the other singers hide it, and especially with Isabella’s proposal coming up I think she was starting to freak out and of course her song being next where we learn the truth
Fun fact, the entire Encanto movie was supposed to be musical but was changed into an animated film. You should also watch the Surface Pressure song from the same film.
That explains why i disliked it at first watch, calling it ”pre-made to leech off Broadway” - it’s not a movie, just trying to cover all bases for money
Great reaction! Would love more reactions of disney songs! Also the reason there are so many bars in Encanto it’s written by Lin Manuel Miranda. Dude who wrote Hamilton! You should do a live stream reacting to that!!! Also side note. Loving your new album. I got Hip Hop is Dead on repeat! Keep up the hard work!!
Bruno is 100% legit a prophet. But he is also a good bit of a troll. The plot of the movie revolves in good part around one of his legit prophesies. But he also uses his rep as a prophet to just cause trouble. Like the first part of the song about the wedding in the hurricane, all caused because he told his weather-controlling sister that it "looked like rain" on the most stressful day of her life. Classic self-fulfilling prophesy, that one.
Is it even possible to dislike this song? They did some magic with it. I watched this movie over 2 weeks ago and I still have this song stuck in my head. Every single day I think of Bruno.
Perfect storytelling from Pepa & Felix, that smooth 'rap' from Dolores, Camillo's amazing performance, Isabella's perfect voice & scene eluding classic Disney princess & all of the verses complementing each other in the best chaotic way... I mean, it's perfection! Great analysis! 👍🏼
I’d just liked to point out that the audience can hear certain sound effects, for example, 11:11 you can hear the glass connect together. I think they did this as a way of letting the audience know what Dolores can and can’t hear.
What I like about (most of) Disney songs is that, they aren't just "simple" songs, the characters are singing those songs and thus showing who they are and how their stories progres through the songs themselves. This movie has that on every. single. song. _Dos oruguitas_ is one of the most emotional songs of the movie but it is near the end and if you didn't watch the movie yet go, watch it, cry a bit, and come back later xD (it's in spanish, although there's an english version from the same artist)
This song reminds me so much of Lin’s other song “Non Stop” from Hamilton. It’s so well put together how it pulls from everyone’s parts and puts them altogether at the end. *chef kiss
I’ve got a 3 year old daughter who just loves this film, and all the songs are dope, I literally cannot get them out of my head. Lin-Manuel Miranda is such a good songwriter and he hooks you in with every song. You should check out his songs in his film Vito, so much more rapping and full of bats for you to break down
the second character was whispering bc she has super hearing and everything is loud for her anw. if u pay attention you'll notice that the bg noises of their footsteps and skirts swishing etc get amplified during her section too 😁
5:28, Still love how Bruno dances along with it in the background on the second floor. Regardless of what everyone says about him he is enjoying the jams.
There is a video that shows how the creators of "Encanto" got their animation to fit beautifully with their song, They used real actors to dance and sing to the dance they had plotted them to do and the animators copied that and drew the dancing and mouth movements onto the computer to make sure they got the right movements to make it seem real. 🙂
So Bruno tells the future and is shunned for it he cant help it ge cant stop the visions but people hate him for it just because he is forced to see the future
I also want to see a breakdown of Surface Pressure, but you really need to see The Family Madrigal. It's the first track of the album and also a great song. A lot of thing won't make sense, or will go over your head without listening to it first.
Bruno has the power to predict the future and the red haired lady has the power to control the weather… unless she gets really upset and then the weather can get… a tad rough. The girl from the next segment has a powerful sense of hearing, then the boy who was the son of the first two can shapeshifter. All the people in her family have a magical gift except for the main character and the grandmother.
What I always liked about this song is that "Bruno" sounds just like "You know" before this song, a common expression I heard a lot was "we don't talk about.. you know!"
Little tidbit, Bruno was actually in the song. In the bit where the second char goes "I associate him with the sound of falling sand," he's up on the second floor walkway, jamming along.
The video "How 'we don't talk about Bruno' works and why it's amazing" goes into how the song is not only musically great, but is perfectly integrated with the movie's symbolism, themes, and storytelling as a whole. The Madrigals are singing a madrigal about the missing part of the Madrigals.
I just love how the backgrounds and stuff happens during the songs in this movie and by the end of the song no one talks about what happened. Except the song Isabela sang when she discovered that she isn’t limited to just flowers but other kinds of plants as well
This is funny because I literally just watched this movie 2 days ago, also delores is probably my favorite part of this song her verse just flowed so well and she topped it off with great singing
The entire soundtrack is fire, but you should really react to "The Family Madrigal" to get a sense of the world and the family dynamic. Also, while this song is an earworm, I think "Surface Pressure" is better for a number of reasons.
Convergence of characters in a song is a staple in most and in my opinion usually one of the best songs in a sing through musical. Rent, Hamilton, and The Secret Garden all come to mind. This will be another that is top of mind when I think of examples of songs in the round. I just watched the movie this weekend with my kid and I was floored. So good!
Might as well go down the Rabbit hole that is Lin Manuel Miranda’s lyricism abilities from Encanto, Hamilton, In the Heights and even Moana. There is a reason the guy has so many awards for his writing abilities. Won’t be surprised if he wins the Oscar this year and completes the rare PEGOT (with a McArthur genius grant as well).
I really enjoy your reactions and how you go deep and deep in the meanings of the lyrics. One thing that I want to talk about is that apart of the images that references the lyrics, I also admired the way how Disney involved all the Colombian culture in the movie, I am Colombian and I very gratefull in how Disney show up all my Colombian landscape, nature, animals and more; but the thing that really amazed me is the clever way to talk about the history and through violence a lot of Colombian people had to pass. I am just really amazed with the effort that Disney put in this movie. I hope more people be interested in visit Colombia and know more about the culture and the people and not only the negative things. If one of you guys hace the oportunity to meet or talk with a Colombian person you are going to understand more details behind the characters personalities that represent s lot of situations of a Colombian common lifes.
If you listen closely at the end of the song you can hear Dolores singing “I’m fine I’m fine I’m fine” and “I’ll be Fine” which was a small call back to Angelica and Satisfied from Hamilton. The man Dolores is in love with is in love with Isabella. Similarly how in Hamilton, Alexander loved Eliza and Angelica loved Alexander too. The attention to detail! The connections! Lin Manuel definitely did amazing with the songs for Encanto. Definitely my new favorite Disney soundtrack.
Bruno, in all his" evil disney-green" and red herring song is set up so well as the mysterious uncle that went evil and then vanished.......and in reality he is such a loving sad cinnamon bun. Maribel's unseen gift is sewing relationships back together. She dusted the magic off on herself. "The miracle is you".
Long comment incoming!! Encanto revolves around a family with magical powers. Bruno has the gift to tell prophesies and such. The woman telling the story of her wedding is Pepa and she has the power to control the weather with her emotions, so when Bruno told her it "looked like rain" she got stressed and the stress "flooded her brain" until her powers created a hurricane. The next verse with the whispered sort of rap was by Dolores and she has super hearing. She clearly states that she can hear Bruno "muttering and mumbling" and later on she says "It's like I can hear him now." You'll notice that in her part, everything kinda goes quieter and you can hear the whoosh of clothing, and movements as though we, as the viewer, were getting a glimpse of her powers. After Dolores was Camilo and he's a shapeshifter. He was really young when Bruno was around so he shapeshifted into what he probably heard from what others described Bruno to be. You had a point about the villagers and how things like the dead goldfish, growing a gut, and losing hair are all natural things that occur with time, but since Bruno told them it would happen, they assumed he was the cause. Isabela sings the bridge and she has the power to grow flowers. She's seen as the "perfect" child in the family. It's why you'll notice that even her prophecy was pretty positive as opposed to the others. Isabela is meant to marry Mariano, but Dolores (her cousin) has feelings for him refering to her prophecy "He told me that the man of my dreams will be just out of reach, betrothed to another." At the end, when all the voices come together to say their lines, the main character Mirabel puts together her prophecy and her family's voices sing in her head and basically say that prophecies from Bruno can only mean trouble.
Fun point: The whole song is fantastic, the production. The lyrics, the chacha rythm and combination of voices like in a Madrigal from the 15th century.. I'm not surprised why everybody loves it. This song was Perfectly done. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madrigal

I really love the whole song. But this one is my favorite part. ❤❤❤
And the fact that Dolores straight up says that Bruno is still in the house (and we see him in her part).
@@JutlandAngel The visual story telling in this movie and foreshadowing is incredible.
@@JutlandAngel For me the part of this song that stands out as a cool detail, is that Camilo sings Bruno has a seven foot frame. Yet he transforms into him, and is clearly no where near that big.

EXACTLY...Knox needs to react to more of his work....especially Hamilton
Amen 🙏🏻
@@redsassy938 omg if knox reacts to hamilton the 3 hour play would turn into a 9 hour breakdown
@Tocksique maybe not all at once....hahaha....have you seen the Howard Ho series of analysis into it.....amazing!
@@Trashley and I would watch it all the way. F*ck everything else I have to do.
What you said about Bruno being blamed for natural events and him being a false prophet. He's not so much a false prophet, 'cause his prophesies are legit (that's literally his gift). It's just a case of: "Don't shoot the messenger."
And he can do positive prophecies, as shown by Mirabel pushing him to find the butterfly. People just ask him about negative stuff I assume and are surprised when shit goes down lol
I have a feeling a lot of the stuff the villagers blamed him for was him striking conversation. Like “hey your fish are gonna die” cause maybe she was shaking the bowl a lot. Cause he mentions later he didn’t prophesize the weather, he just thought Pepa looked nervous (cause she controls the weather)
He's actually a real prophet(that's his gift) but he actually says that he said this because the woman wih the fish didn't took care of it properly, the fat man ate a lot, and etc, even in pepa's wedding he says that he just saw how nervous she was and that it wasn't any prophesies(bc to make a prophesie he was to make a whole ritual-)
@@who_needs_stairs, I actually also read a post/comment somewhere that stated that it could've been just Bruno basically wishing Pepa a happy wedding, because in the local culture, rain on your wedding day means good fortune
my opinion is he doesnt really do alot of prophesies unless its family i mean all the villagers one are incredibly stupid thing and with how much work it seems to take with the one we see i would of just told them thing that are obvious
Fun fact: since Dolores has super hearing, people normally doing stuff is really loud for her so that’s why she does stuff really quietly in the movie so when she’s quiet it’s normal for her and that’s why she was whispering singing in the movie 👌
And if you notice, when she yells at the table about Mirabel being in Bruno's vision and them all being doomed, she covers her ears
You can also see at multiple points her covering her ears, like when the fireworks are going off at the celebration.
When Delores is singing Bruno is running around in the background as she was singing.
Anyone else wonder what her room would look like inside the house? Maybe a soft pillow padded room so no sound vibrates back to her to hear?
Sadly not because since she heard luisa eye twitching all night it wouldn't be soundproof cause she didn't get sleep@@shanearnett3235
Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote Hamilton and all of its music (Encanto's music as well). He actually cited Eminem as one of the main lyricists he studies to put his verses together
Please do Guns and Ships from Hamilton I'd love a break down of that so much
I would die to see knox react to hamilton honestly
Lin-Manuel is AMAZING 🤩 Encanto is yet another work of art. Kudos to the geniuses and GOATs in their respective genres!
That explains Delores verse
yes
“This is like Eminem meets Disney”
I don’t know if I’ve heard a better description for Lin Manuel Miranda. Perfect.
I was going to see thisss
Literally came here to say this.
YES
My favorite part is when Dolores gets her bit. It gives us a taste of her super hearing as every motion is amplified. The swish of their skirts, and the stomping of their feet, creates an underlining bass that just hits hard.
Yeah, exactly, they threw in a tapatillo!
@@kellyalves756 I know this is gonna make me sound completely uncultured, and I apologize in advance, but isn't Tapatillo the name of that one Mexican hot sauce? Again, I am sorry.
@@missnoelmags5515 It’s also a Spanish dance. A lot of tapping steps.
@@kellyalves756 I am so sorry, I embarrassed your culture, please forgive me. I feel so uncultured and rude!
@@missnoelmags5515 Not my culture- except I’m Californian, so they taught us Spanish colonial folk dances in Elementary School. It’s just a fun, percussive dance that serves the scene well.
About Pepa saying "He flood my brain": She has the power to control the weather, but that power is heavily influenced by her emotions, so when Bruno prophesized rain, he flood her brain with the thought of rain, which caused it to actually rain (bc that's her powet).
About Dolores's whispering: She probably whispers because her power is an extremely good sense of hearing.
But later he admits that he knew she was stressed and nervous and was trying to hold it back. He basically threw himself under the bus and gave her a reason to "let it go" and allow herself to feel she's allowed to show all of that and then the weather just followed. I love that he did that for her then allowed himself to take the blame.
4:40 actually there is another meaning to it, because everybody in this family has a special gift/power and Pepa's (the ginger haired woman) power is that her emotions affect the weather around her and Bruno can tell the future, so when Bruno says it looks like rain, it literally floods Pepa's brain, because she starts to panic and causes the hurricane because of that.
They blamed him for the hurricane, but what was funny was it wasn't even a prophecy, he was just joking like little brothers do, he saw she was stressed and made a joke and they thought he made it happen 😂😂
I’m hoping someone else mentioned it as well, but Bruno’s name was originally going to be Oscar, but Lin asked for it to be changed to flow better and that’s why we have “Bruno-no-no-no-no” and why his name is Bruno in final production. They wanted it to flow with the songs and instrumentals in the background which I find to be an amazing detail on everyone wanting things to flow well for the music and stories within the songs.
We don't Talk about Oscar-car-car-car🤣
Oscar? Damn they really trying to make him the black sheep of the family
This just fits with my theory that they realize Lin’s genius and they’re just like “let’s let him write a bunch of songs to fit with a vague plot line, and then write the movie AROUND the songs”
@@edadragneel1569 idk about the other stuff but that is literally how Luisa’s entire story was developed. They gave Lin a character that was just a “strong older sister” and gave him entire creative freedom for the song. He then came back with Surface Pressure which guided the team in creating her as the strong yet vulnerable character we know
it was a good call because it also translate well in other language ( no-no-non in french, ne-ne-ne in croatian, no-no-no in spanish and in italian, ) and in most language negation star with an N.
Fun fact: most of the “doubles” you noticed are triples with the context of the characters and the movie. Also, the whole song is about peoples misunderstanding of Bruno and his gift.
Yeah, like Dolores' line "I associate him with the sound of falling sand." 1. It is the sound of falling sand. 2. The "tsss" sounding like "shhh" for quiet, we don't talk about him. 3. Bruno's motif is an hourglass. It's on his clothes, door and in his room.
@@katlynnalmansor4135 could also be his frequent throwing salt over his shoulder to chase away bad luck
@@zencyn4682 oh yeah, true! Good observation.
@@katlynnalmansor4135 and I do believe there was sand in his room as well.
Do you think it's because Pepa, Jullieta, and Bruno are triplets?
You gotta do Surface Pressure next, it has even more bars and its so relatable! Like the lines hit you HARD.
It’s on Patreon, check it out! 💪🏼
Family Madrigal needs to be first imho, since it then helps with understanding the songs
Right I like this song way better then we don't talk about Bruno
Definitely the best song of the movie in my opinion
Came here to say this!
10:43 - This song is used in the film as a kind of play on words. The name of the family concerned in the plot is 'Madrigal'. The term 'madrigal' is an older English term for a type of song - multiple melodies are introduced, one at a time. Then they are all sung at the same time. It's a creative type of songwriting technique which was popular in England in the 16th and 17th centuries. (Late 1500s to the early 1600s).
There something I find amazing that I never hear anyone commenting on. For the dude who can transform, I absolutely love how the texture of his voice switches between smooth and rough as he transforms from young and old. It makes it sound...almost chaotic? But intentionally chaotic and it fits so well.
so incredibly true i love camilo so much
As a Colombian I feel so happy to see people enjoying a film about my country :) thank you for reacting Knox!! 🇨🇴
Haha thank you for continuing to support!
@@KnoxHill ahhhh hiiii
🇨🇴🇵🇦
@@KnoxHill 9:02 her background music sounds like pop music not necessarily tropical or vibing out music. But I love her hearing ability which means you can't keep a secret and I find that abit.. "Intrusive" 🤕✌
Same!
Knox, this is simply the power of
*Lin Manuel Miranda* If anyone knows about clever bars and storytelling it’s him. I suggest checking out *Hamilton* and *in the Heights*
EXACTLY.... PERFECTLY SAID
Do it!! Knox Do It!!!
Pleaseee Hamilton. !!!!
As soon as I saw people talking about this song I knew it had to be by Lin Manuel Miranda. Dude is a genius
Ships And Guns from the play Hamilton.
"these are all natural things that happen, but they all balmed it on bruno" i never thought about it that way but holy shit!!! def reminds me of how the entire family blamed bruno for their misfortunes. as much as bruno loved his family, he couldn't take all the blame and the toxicity and just "left".
another things Bruno can probably see whole timelines and using the glass helps his mind not turn to goo. he also follow the trope of the seer know what will happen and give the future in mysterious phrases or rhymes that you forget till the event happen is happening. take future of his family. Dolores love would be betrothed to another by half the movie we find out she likes the guy abuela chose for Isabella. now Isabella's future was to be free and do as she wanted and thanks to Mirabel she no longer has to be the perfect child she can make mistakes and her powers grew more that she thought. Mirabel had decide if after finding out the whole truth would she help heal her family or would knowing and then deciding everyone would live better if the family broke apart and live with their own families
Later in the film Bruno literally explains that he wasn't predicting any of the things in the song, he saw the rainclouds, that other guy's eating habits, something about the fish and the bald guy, but everyone was so on edge about him they thought he was causing bad luck with his powers.
@@SergioLeRoux well the rain clouds was him trying to relieve his twin's tension over getting married and having the powers she does it backfired. Fish was in too small bowl
Well, and remember what was said about the only other negative prophecy mentioned in the song: "bruno says it looks like rain" which then gets resolved in the finale song: "Pepa, I'm sorry about your wedding day, I didn't mean to be upsetting, that wasn't a prophecy I could just see you were sweating and I wanted you to know that your bro loves you so, let it in, let it out, let it rain, let it snow, let it goooooooo"
Saying "it looks like rain" means you don't think the marriage is going to last.
And he said that...
During a wedding...
And he is a fortune teller...
Even though he didn't mean it that way, that's how Pepa took it, and why she was still so upset about it. Which is why he had to specify later that it wasn't a prophecy.
People talk about Dolores whispering because of her super hearing but I’m more interested in how fast she sings. She delivered lines twice the speed of any other verse, now my theory is that she talks so fast because the conversation and rumors, etc can slip by immediately so she needs to talk fast to keep up with things, and it probably helps her not get lost in others conversations when she talks fast. Or maybe she’s just a natural fast talker. Now this is a bad analogy of mine, but I myself am surrounded my sounds and can barely focus on what inn writing, so I’ll need opinions to get my brain working instead of being clouded by the sounds around me
11:11 fun fact: if you look closely you will see the fish lady at first but as the camera pans dolores appears into frame in place of where the fish lady was
When Pepa says it floods her brain, it was because she created the hurricane. That's her power, and Bruno just put her a bad mood.
exactly. By saying that he messed up with her head
Not that he put so much effort on that either...
@@cargo71 well he didn’t need to, which is why his comment was inappropriate
@@LeonC0704 In the song "All of you" he even apologizes and says he didn't mean to make her upset and that the rain wasnt even a prophecy, he was trying to lighten her mood with a poorly timed joke, but it backfired because he's awkward and bad at socializing because by that point he was already pretty withdrawn because people blamed him for his prophecies (that they asked for mind you) and didn't like what they heard, its a classic case of shooting the messenger. He wasn't being malicious or purposely trying to upset her and ruin her wedding. He even tells her to stop holding back her emotions and let everything out, which is the healthier way to deal with things, as she tends to bottle things up and that's what gets her so worked up in the first place. He loves his family and doesn't want to hurt them on purpose, he's just bad at socializing
He apolosed for that, it wasn't a prediction even, she misremembered it as well as misunderstanding it. He saw how she had been bottling things up to make everything perfect (the issue all the others have been having, the matriarch had been convinced they should all be perfect and always helping others to earn the blessings they were cracking under the strain). He was reassuring her that partner would always be there for her come rain or storm, she should relax and stop worrying always. You can see the stress and anxiety in her throughout the film, trying to think happy thoughts and stroking her hair to calm down or get told off for allowing a bad mood create a storm.
The falling sand line is a triple, cause Bruno is always throwing salt over his shoulder,which could be heard as falling sand
His symbol is the hourglass full of sand slowly falling in measurement of time.
@@ScionStorm1 wouldn't that make it a quad then?
@@Das-hi7wl there's also his room being full of sand
@@AmanitaJT It's the sand he uses to project his visions and capture a crystalized image of his vision in glass made from the sand.
I thought it was just his room with the falling sand in but...yeah that makes a lot of sense.
Just in case it helps. Everyone in Encanto related by blood has a super power except our protagonist.
The first generation:
Pepa (woman who had her wedding day ruined): controls the weather with her emotions
Bruno: can see the future
Julieta: can heal anyone with her cooking
2nd generation: (in relation to the protagonist)
Cousin Dolores (second singer): can hear everything
Cousin Camilo: shapeshifter
Sister Isabella: controls flowers
Sister Louisa: super strength
Mirabel: protagonist with no powers
And Antonio talk with animals 🐆
Yea but mirabel is the power what I mean is that mirabel will be the next candle holder after abuela.
Hey! How dare you forget about Antonio!?
youre missing antonio, and also its not Louisa, its spelled Luisa
I thought Mirabel was the miracle cuz her name “mir” able sounds like “mir” acle
1:45 GREEN LITTLE VOLDEMORT!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmao😂😂
11:17 What I've started also noticing here after enough listens is how Camilo's part actually switches up the way he sings the end of his part, which I really really like... I don't know how many people noticed it too, but listen to his part and then try to pick out his voice in the collage and you'll hear the difference.
Also this song literally won't leave my head, "Surface Pressure" and "We Don't Talk About Bruno" are just stuck in there on loop no matter what I do :'P
He takes away certain emphasis and sort of smooths it out in the second part
Honestly I could sing "What Else Can I Do" with my eyes closed and no music in the background. Same with "We Don't Talk About Bruno"
What's funny is the part where Dolores is singing/whispering, you can see Bruno on the top floor walking around and bopping to her song.
Actually I think that is Camillo as Bruno
@@corvacks8924 Nah, it's officially zbruno according to the writets
@@corvacks8924 For me
Camilo was probably rehearsing his part of song at the time
I know right...his family hasn't talked about him in 10 years and here they are singing about him..so he's just.up there jamming to the great music
@@lostwildfree3492 yeah, you're right I believe ^_^ the writers confirmed its Bruno himself
If you listen carefully Isabella (dressed in the light purple) has a secret line when they’re all singing and dancing around Mirabel. When she passes in front of the camera, you hear her sing, “I’m fine! I’m fine! And I’m fine!”
Morgan Freeman narrator voice: but she wasn't fine. She's not fine at all...
its dolores not isabella
@@po-tay-toe No, it was Isabella singing the "I'm fine" lines. It's a reference to a major plot point. All that stuff from Isabella's earlier lines (he told me that the life of my dreams would be promised and someday be mine / he told me that my power would grow like the grapes that thrive on the vine) is the only prophecy that hasn't come true yet. Her power doesn't start to grow until her personal song later on in the movie, 'What Else Can I Do'. So when she sings 'I'm fine', it's an early hint that, like Luisa, Isabella isn't actually fine. At this point in the movie, she's not living the life of her dreams and her power is stagnant (nothing but perfect flowers).
@@hauntedshadowslegacy2826 You have it wrong man. Dolores was singing it too but Isabella was singing louder than her, Another bonus is you can she hear mouthing it but so is Isabella. Possibly referencing her being overlooked by Isabella cuz yk the whole "man of my dreams"
Dolores actually was singing that too😊
My favorite part is Dolores' because when she says "associate him with the sounds of falling sand shh shh shh" her "shh shh shh" also replaces the shakers and I just love that small detail.
He is not fake. The whole idea of Encanto is that Bruno and his family have magic gifts and his gift was the ability to see the future. But whenever he saw something bad or something someone didn't like, they started blaming him for making these bad futures. Also Pepa the woman at the beginning her ability is that the weather changes according to her feelings and mood.
During Dolores's part you can actually see Bruno dancing in the background on the top floor. It's a dark shadow with a green hue around it. Even Bruno couldnt help but dance to his song lol
You can see him walk along the bottom floor too 😂
If you know anything about Lin-Manuel Miranda, you know he’s a lyrical genius, best known for Hamilton (which is all rap) and In The Heights (again, basically all rap). He also did the Moana soundtrack which is great. Absolutely adore the man.
Yes your 100 right
And another Disney soundtrack, Moana.
Them raps were garbage in Hamilton.
Dont forget freestyle love supreme
@@clanurameshi troll
We Don’t Talk About Bruno is essentially exposition in song done right. It’s so catchy and will be stuck in your head and yet lyrically it is pivotal to the story of the film.
The family name is Madrigal. A Madrigal is a 15-16th century secular polyphonic vocal style of layering 3-6 voices.
I just like that they made the effort of animating Mirabel unconsciously dancing through the song. Like the song is so dang catchy that she can't stop herself.
This isnt talked about enough but i love how most of the instrumentation during delores part is actually her footsteps as if everything else got quiet due to her hearing ability
Yes.. its An AMAZING WORK OF ART...
The story
The backstories
The symbolism
The Harmonies

It definitely is a good film! Dad here as well and I'm digging the songs, they are such a work of art.
Aweee this is just magnificent it really brings up the family through this movie i myself a teen and my father really liked this movie so as my whole family this movie is really amazing we couldn't agree more
Just now finished watching it AGAIN....
Makes me happy to see people who love a movie about my culture 🥲
"it's like eminem meets disney"
love how that perfectly describes LMM lmao
Lin Manuel is a a musical genius, In The Heights opening number is a clear indication of that
Knox should definitely check out Hamilton and the Heights. I really love blackout and 96 000 but the opening number is also of course iconic
Yes!! I’ve been saying that!
This! Plus guns and ships in Hamilton!!
I don’t know if you watched the movie already but when dolores said “i associate him with the sound of falling sand... shh.... shh... shhh” well his room is actually full of sand and his clothes have a sand hourglass imprint lol and i thought it was funny how when they are all singing around Mirabel the last line is “he’s here!” Talking about Isabela’s ‘to be fiancé’, but i immediately thought they were talking about Bruno since they are singing about him (and spoiler he’s actually still there probably hearing them lol)
Another reading of “sound of falling sand” is that that’s how she interprets the sound of him obsessively throwing salt and sugar over his shoulder for luck.
9:33
"You have all these different voices and it's almost like, chaotic, but it's organized at the same time..."
Me: You ain't heard *nothing* yet.
Knox, you will have this stuck in your head for awhile and you won't even realize it until you randomly start humming and singing it out of nowhere lol.
Yep, I'm on my 7th day of humming

@@blackhawk7390 why?
@@vianaafsharjahanshahi4255 he kept pausing and rewind the video every 2 seconds and i was getting annoyed, ik why he does it but cmon he made a 3:30 video (i think) into almost a 14 minute video. I get it because of the copyright stuff but youtubers dont do that
Knowing each family member's abilities makes the song way more meaningful and clever
7:17 I haven't really listened to this song before now, but why do they dislike him for what he says coming true? His gift is to know the future so shouldn't they know that?
His gift is to see a possible outcome of the future,and everyone usually assumed that when he had a vision about someone,their fates were sealed and there was no changing that. They also think he makes the future.
I love Pepa and Felix so much. He charms her everytime when she has a cloud and she calms down. And the way he looks at her. So cute.

...what did I just read..?
Also if you didn’t notice during Dolores’ part Bruno makes his first appearance 5:18
I always loved how he flips the “he told me” verses toward the end “he told me that the life of my dreams” are all ascending, highlighting the positive prophecy, contrasted with the “he told me that the man of my dreams” is flipped upside down, descending in pitch to highlight the sorrow. Subtle, simple, nice touch
I really want you to do surface pressure, but you may need to do “the family madrigal” so you can follow what’s happening.
Petition to get Knox to go down a Lin-Manuel Miranda rabbit hole. You need to do surface pressure and The Family Madrigal (so you know the premises of these songs) also please do some Hamilton songs as they are bar heavy as well (watching the entire musical is very much recommended as well 😉)!!
Yes! As a rap afecionado, I love Hamilton and it singlehandedly got me into modern musicals 😂
You have my signature.
10:07 finally! someone acknowledges Mariano's funky walk, as if hes on the runway strutting his stuff. Also, does Mariano not see Camilo undoubtedly mocking him? Is he blind? Is that why he "couldn't see" Dolores??? We need answers people!
I love how Pepa starts with "It was MY wedding day" and Felix follows with "It was OUR wedding day."
Did no one notice Isabela sings “I’m not fine” at the end of the song (at the end of her verses when they all sing)? It’s so creative cause the other singers hide it, and especially with Isabella’s proposal coming up I think she was starting to freak out and of course her song being next where we learn the truth
Fun fact, the entire Encanto movie was supposed to be musical but was changed into an animated film. You should also watch the Surface Pressure song from the same film.
You know, I could see this being adapted for the stage anyways. They did it for Alladin.
@@livethedream032001 i'd love to see that
@@livethedream032001 And Frozen. They can do this adaptation too...

That explains why i disliked it at first watch, calling it ”pre-made to leech off Broadway” - it’s not a movie, just trying to cover all bases for money
The Encanto song called the The family Madrigal has rap in and is very good song
Great reaction! Would love more reactions of disney songs! Also the reason there are so many bars in Encanto it’s written by Lin Manuel Miranda. Dude who wrote Hamilton! You should do a live stream reacting to that!!!
Also side note. Loving your new album. I got Hip Hop is Dead on repeat! Keep up the hard work!!
It's super cool that Knox was able to analyze this song despite the fact that he hasn't watched the movie
Bruno is 100% legit a prophet. But he is also a good bit of a troll. The plot of the movie revolves in good part around one of his legit prophesies. But he also uses his rep as a prophet to just cause trouble. Like the first part of the song about the wedding in the hurricane, all caused because he told his weather-controlling sister that it "looked like rain" on the most stressful day of her life. Classic self-fulfilling prophesy, that one.
Is it even possible to dislike this song? They did some magic with it. I watched this movie over 2 weeks ago and I still have this song stuck in my head. Every single day I think of Bruno.
Perfect storytelling from Pepa & Felix, that smooth 'rap' from Dolores, Camillo's amazing performance, Isabella's perfect voice & scene eluding classic Disney princess & all of the verses complementing each other in the best chaotic way... I mean, it's perfection! Great analysis! 👍🏼
Bro do a break down on Surface Pressure also from Encanto. Even better!
I’d just liked to point out that the audience can hear certain sound effects, for example, 11:11 you can hear the glass connect together. I think they did this as a way of letting the audience know what Dolores can and can’t hear.
What I like about (most of) Disney songs is that, they aren't just "simple" songs, the characters are singing those songs and thus showing who they are and how their stories progres through the songs themselves. This movie has that on every. single. song.
_Dos oruguitas_ is one of the most emotional songs of the movie but it is near the end and if you didn't watch the movie yet go, watch it, cry a bit, and come back later xD
(it's in spanish, although there's an english version from the same artist)
This song reminds me so much of Lin’s other song “Non Stop” from Hamilton. It’s so well put together how it pulls from everyone’s parts and puts them altogether at the end.
*chef kiss
Also, "96000" from In the Heights.
And Blackout also from In the Heights!
Non stop is one of my favourites!!!!
It is a great song, but I personally love "Surface Pressure" more.
I'm the reverse. Bruno is my favorite but I really love surface pressure as well!
@@xeedflarian9748 same !! tho tbh they're both fighting for the #1 spot for me lol
@@shineinstars lol I feel you on that one! My mind could change back and forth!
Surface Pressure is second for me, I like What Else Can I do more :))
Fun fact: Bruno was originally named Oscar but was renamed just to achieve that Bruno, no, no, no scheme.
I’ve got a 3 year old daughter who just loves this film, and all the songs are dope, I literally cannot get them out of my head. Lin-Manuel Miranda is such a good songwriter and he hooks you in with every song. You should check out his songs in his film Vito, so much more rapping and full of bats for you to break down
5:36 Bruno dancing the background
I love how the whole we don't talk about bruno song is a foreshadowing , a foreshadowing of the chaos later in the movie
just Genius!
This was fun! My kids love this song. Can you do the song "Surface Pressure" from Encanto?
the second character was whispering bc she has super hearing and everything is loud for her anw. if u pay attention you'll notice that the bg noises of their footsteps and skirts swishing etc get amplified during her section too 😁
5:28, Still love how Bruno dances along with it in the background on the second floor. Regardless of what everyone says about him he is enjoying the jams.
There is a video that shows how the creators of "Encanto" got their animation to fit beautifully with their song, They used real actors to dance and sing to the dance they had plotted them to do and the animators copied that and drew the dancing and mouth movements onto the computer to make sure they got the right movements to make it seem real. 🙂
1:27 i love how felix grabs her waist here like he knows she’s gonna talk about bruno
So Bruno tells the future and is shunned for it he cant help it ge cant stop the visions but people hate him for it just because he is forced to see the future
hes not forced but people dont like the visions that will happen
I also want to see a breakdown of Surface Pressure, but you really need to see The Family Madrigal. It's the first track of the album and also a great song. A lot of thing won't make sense, or will go over your head without listening to it first.
Love this guy. Talented. Knows how to analyze music and has a great voice also. And so dang handsome too! Lol. Keep going forward man.
Bruno has the power to predict the future and the red haired lady has the power to control the weather… unless she gets really upset and then the weather can get… a tad rough.
The girl from the next segment has a powerful sense of hearing, then the boy who was the son of the first two can shapeshifter.
All the people in her family have a magical gift except for the main character and the grandmother.
What I always liked about this song is that "Bruno" sounds just like "You know" before this song, a common expression I heard a lot was "we don't talk about.. you know!"
clicked faster than eminem's verse in godzila
Lies.. but its amazing...
@@Dknow80 hehe
Little tidbit, Bruno was actually in the song. In the bit where the second char goes "I associate him with the sound of falling sand," he's up on the second floor walkway, jamming along.
'Flooded her brain' connected also to the fact that she has the power of controlling the weather with her emotions.
The video "How 'we don't talk about Bruno' works and why it's amazing" goes into how the song is not only musically great, but is perfectly integrated with the movie's symbolism, themes, and storytelling as a whole.
The Madrigals are singing a madrigal about the missing part of the Madrigals.
an extra layer to 4:25 is that her emotions control the weather so her brain flooding caused the hurricane
Now you can see the brilliance of Lin Manuel Miranda, please can you react to the opening number of “In The Heights” there is a lot of rap involved
Yes please!!!!!
Fun Fact: Bruno's name was originally to be Oscar! But Lin-Manuel Miranda requested a name change specifically so he could do "Bruno-no-no" !
I just love how the backgrounds and stuff happens during the songs in this movie and by the end of the song no one talks about what happened. Except the song Isabela sang when she discovered that she isn’t limited to just flowers but other kinds of plants as well
It’s Lin Manuel Miranda Knox. He did Moana, Hamilton and In the Heights. That’s why it’s so good.
This is funny because I literally just watched this movie 2 days ago, also delores is probably my favorite part of this song her verse just flowed so well and she topped it off with great singing
The entire soundtrack is fire, but you should really react to "The Family Madrigal" to get a sense of the world and the family dynamic. Also, while this song is an earworm, I think "Surface Pressure" is better for a number of reasons.
Convergence of characters in a song is a staple in most and in my opinion usually one of the best songs in a sing through musical. Rent, Hamilton, and The Secret Garden all come to mind. This will be another that is top of mind when I think of examples of songs in the round. I just watched the movie this weekend with my kid and I was floored. So good!
Might as well go down the Rabbit hole that is Lin Manuel Miranda’s lyricism abilities from Encanto, Hamilton, In the Heights and even Moana. There is a reason the guy has so many awards for his writing abilities. Won’t be surprised if he wins the Oscar this year and completes the rare PEGOT (with a McArthur genius grant as well).
I really enjoy your reactions and how you go deep and deep in the meanings of the lyrics.
One thing that I want to talk about is that apart of the images that references the lyrics, I also admired the way how Disney involved all the Colombian culture in the movie, I am Colombian and I very gratefull in how Disney show up all my Colombian landscape, nature, animals and more; but the thing that really amazed me is the clever way to talk about the history and through violence a lot of Colombian people had to pass. I am just really amazed with the effort that Disney put in this movie.
I hope more people be interested in visit Colombia and know more about the culture and the people and not only the negative things.
If one of you guys hace the oportunity to meet or talk with a Colombian person you are going to understand more details behind the characters personalities that represent s lot of situations of a Colombian common lifes.
also when they take the umbrellas out its the colors of the colombian flag
If you listen closely at the end of the song you can hear Dolores singing “I’m fine I’m fine I’m fine” and “I’ll be Fine” which was a small call back to Angelica and Satisfied from Hamilton.
The man Dolores is in love with is in love with Isabella. Similarly how in Hamilton, Alexander loved Eliza and Angelica loved Alexander too.
The attention to detail! The connections! Lin Manuel definitely did amazing with the songs for Encanto. Definitely my new favorite Disney soundtrack.
At the end of the song when they were singing around mirabelle, Isabelle was singing, "I'm fine" over and over.
Bruno, in all his" evil disney-green" and red herring song is set up so well as the mysterious uncle that went evil and then vanished.......and in reality he is such a loving sad cinnamon bun. Maribel's unseen gift is sewing relationships back together. She dusted the magic off on herself. "The miracle is you".
Long comment incoming!!
Encanto revolves around a family with magical powers. Bruno has the gift to tell prophesies and such. The woman telling the story of her wedding is Pepa and she has the power to control the weather with her emotions, so when Bruno told her it "looked like rain" she got stressed and the stress "flooded her brain" until her powers created a hurricane.
The next verse with the whispered sort of rap was by Dolores and she has super hearing. She clearly states that she can hear Bruno "muttering and mumbling" and later on she says "It's like I can hear him now." You'll notice that in her part, everything kinda goes quieter and you can hear the whoosh of clothing, and movements as though we, as the viewer, were getting a glimpse of her powers.
After Dolores was Camilo and he's a shapeshifter. He was really young when Bruno was around so he shapeshifted into what he probably heard from what others described Bruno to be.
You had a point about the villagers and how things like the dead goldfish, growing a gut, and losing hair are all natural things that occur with time, but since Bruno told them it would happen, they assumed he was the cause.
Isabela sings the bridge and she has the power to grow flowers. She's seen as the "perfect" child in the family. It's why you'll notice that even her prophecy was pretty positive as opposed to the others. Isabela is meant to marry Mariano, but Dolores (her cousin) has feelings for him refering to her prophecy "He told me that the man of my dreams will be just out of reach, betrothed to another."
At the end, when all the voices come together to say their lines, the main character Mirabel puts together her prophecy and her family's voices sing in her head and basically say that prophecies from Bruno can only mean trouble.
Fun point: The whole song is fantastic, the production. The lyrics, the chacha rythm and combination of voices like in a Madrigal from the 15th century.. I'm not surprised why everybody loves it. This song was Perfectly done.
