Lyrics
I'm the strong one, I'm not nervous
I'm as tough as the crust of the earth is
I move mountains, I move churches
And I glow 'cause I know what my worth is
I don't ask how hard the work is
Got a rough indestructible surface
Diamonds and platinum, I find 'em, I flatten 'em
I take what I'm handed, I break what's demanding
But
Under the surface
I feel berserk as a tightrope walker in a three-ring circus
Under the surface
Was Hercules ever like "Yo, I don't wanna fight Cerberus"?
Under the surface
I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service
A flaw or a crack
The straw in the stack
That breaks the camel's back
What breaks the camel's back it's
Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, whoa
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'till you just go pop, whoa
Give it to your sister, your sister's older
Give her all the heavy things we can't shoulder
Who am I if I can't run with the ball?
If I fall to
Pressure like a grip, grip, grip and it won't let go, whoa
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, whoa
Give it to your sister, your sister's stronger
See if she can hang on a little longer
Who am I if I can't carry it all?
If I falter
Under the surface
I hide my nerves, and it worsens, I worry something is gonna hurt us
Under the surface
The ship doesn't swerve as it heard how big the iceberg is
Under the surface
I think about my purpose, can I somehow preserve this?
Line up the dominoes
A light wind blows
You try to stop it tumbling
But on and on it goes
But wait
If I could shake the crushing weight of expectations
Would that free some room up for joy
Or relaxation, or simple pleasure?
Instead we measure this growing pressure
Keeps growing, keep going
'Cause all we know is
Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, whoa
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, whoa-oh-oh
Give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt
And see if she can handle every family burden
Watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks
No mistakes just
Pressure like a grip, grip, grip and it won't let go, whoa
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, whoa
Give it to your sister and never wonder
If the same pressure would've pulled you under
Who am I if I don't have what it takes?
No cracks, no breaks
No mistakes, no pressure

Lin Manuel has said that since his older sister had to make so many sacrifices for him growing up, he wrote this as his love letter to her.
I didn't know that part! it makes the song even better
Wow! That is so beautiful xx
As an oldest and older sister of three brothers, I love this. Can’t not tear up every time I hear this. Of course at 47 I’m the protected one♥️
I'm also the oldest sister. My parents put so much pressure onto me. I pretty much had to put my life on pause to raise my siblings while also having to be the perfect golden child. The example. My siblings think of me as a mix of both Luisa and Isabela and how traumatic it's to me. This movie speaks to me
Aww❤ I'm sure she appreciates it! I'm am older sister and totally get Luisa
The Encanto songs have been living rent free in my head for a month, and I don't see them moving out anytime soon
Same, literally ever since the first time I watched it in the cinema on December 4, 2021 all of the songs have been glued to my head 😭
Yas, those song are amazing and relatable love this one cause I relate to her and Isabella alot.
Bro we are in the same boat. I watched the movie just to kill time and then this song hit me like a fucking nuke. And then "We don't talk about Bruno" and "What else can I do" and "Dos oruguitas". I was like "please Disney just stop dropping these bombs, I won't recover from this".
LOL….yes!!! And for the 1st time EVER I downloaded a Disney song (Bruno). Love this movie so much!!
Been meaning to switch to owning music instead of streaming, and Encanto soundtrack is the first thing I bought XD
It's not that she feels at home helping others. It's that she derives her entire self worth from being able to help others. That actually informs the "I glow because I know what my worth is" line, since she gets her wroth from serving without taking time for herself.
So deep.. Teared me up :(
I heard in a different reaction (Jacob Restituto and his mom) "She only knows part of her worth, but she thinks that is her whole worth" (paraphrasing) and that is why she is under to much pressure
naur cuz she is treated like a slave by her family and her town... esp in the latin spanish ver u can rlly understand the songs and what they actually say,, idk thats my take
I took the "I glow" as a reference to her door, the magic that's in her glows because she embraces it as her gift and her place in the Familia
well I think she also feels at home helping others because that’s all she’s ever really known, but of course she’s human and it’s not good to never prioritize oneself
You've got a good take on this. The slow part is where the main character is singing about how nice it'd be to have a moment where she doesn't HAVE to be "the strong one". Watch "The Family Madrigal for a little more background info and a good bop!
And to be carefree, flying, weightless, having no burden holding her down
I agree watch the movie it's about generational trauma and how it can effect a family.
the main character is mirabel, not luisa
@@threegoodfriends7120 The main character in the song. He hasn't seen the movie.
We can get the boys
I think you missed a major part of this song in your reaction which is yes, she’s strong, BUT it’s because she feels that she has to be. She feels incredible “pressure” all the time to keep it together and stay strong. But in the middle when it gets slow and she’s riding a unicorn in the sky, she’s saying wouldn’t it be nice if it was easier and she didn’t have to carry all that burden on her back. You are right that the message is very deep, and definitely what a lot of people feel
I was kinda cringing all the way through. He was missing all of the major parts and their actual meanings like it was Christmas. But it's the fact that he uniquely interpreted it on his own that counts, right?
@@ivanolivier68 It was like an interesting experiment showing how people can interpret the same thing so completely differently.
@@ivanolivier68 He got a lot of it with absolutely no context and I think he had a good take - we all know a Luisa, it sounds like it's his older sister for him.
@@catnik You're right, but I was also first introduced to Encanto through surface pressure before I knew who Luisa was and even I, an arguably illiterate inbred could understand and grasp some of the content/meaning and what they were trying to say. I don't particularly pride myself on my English or my Music talent which consists of head nods and humming catchy beats. He might not have paid much attention at the beginning which lead to him missing the actual important parts, but honestly, if you are going to react to something shouldn't you at least pay attention to what you're reacting to? Or maybe he did pay attention but interpreted it differently because he had an older sister that tried solving a lot of the problems on her own. Or maybe it has something to do with his own biases. I really don't know. Like I said it's about personal interpretation
@@ivanolivier68 The reaction was very honest for a piece taken completely from its surrounding context. It’s also reflective of how people will watch what’s going on and miss the small details, the video is so active it’s very easy to miss them; I feel if he’d watched just a lyric version, or simply listened it would have had a different impact.
"I am pretty sure I am worthless if I can't be of service"
You got that line wrong. It doesn't mean she feels at home when she is helping.
It means that she is very insecure and to her all her worth is her strength. That is she always feel the NEED to help. She can't relax or enjoy at all. She feels like she is nothing without her strength which is wrong.. She is more than just her strength
You described this really well 🙌
@Symphony Night I was correcting them??
@Symphony Night but it is wrong even with no additional context clues.
It can be both. I love and feel resentment for what my family needs of me
@@Nortarachanges yeah it could be..but when u think of the song as a whole.. it's talking about pressure..So it's probably about how she feels worthless if she isn't helping anyone.
This song is about the insecurity of being valued for what you can do - your material worth - and the resultant pressure to always be on your game in fulfilling that role less your value diminishes in the eyes of others. It's about the pressure to perform when you're valued as a performer and not as a person.
Nailed. It. SIR!!!
6:07 'Cuz it seems like she's singing about family issues.' Not giving spoilers, but *yes, absolutely!* Keep that sentence in mind when you watch the movie.
I can't tell you how many times I've listened to this soundtrack and watched this movie
Edit: Lin-Manuel actually wrote this song for his older sister
Wow I didn't know that. Well good job Lin-Manuel. AGAIN.
I love Lin Manuel, honestly thought he was the only child
I wonder how he and his sister felt hearing the song
I wouldve cried omfg
Person: [reacts to a song from Encanto]
Person before the end of the video: "I should watch the movie"
Never fails. Top-tier storytelling in these songs.
Literally me after I watched we don't talk about Bruno I was like whelp guess I gotta watch this movie now, and then I just get sucked into a TH-cam hole of reaction videos
"She had the whole world on her back and said 'No pressure.' "
That is the best summary of this song/character/movie that I've ever heard
Luisa, the strong one is a middle child too. The older sister is isabella, the flower girl.
But she said older not oldest
@@derp8964 she did say that but ofc it'd lead to a whole bunch of misunderstandings
The oldest are miss flower power and miss super ear
@@derp8964 i know. but i just said luisa is a middle child just like him.
@@Sam-je2xj "miss super ear" is a cousin. Her mom's the one that controls the weather.
The "I know what my worth is" has a double meaning when you understand the family. As her strength to her abuela is what gives her worth.
It's not a kid's movie. It's a family movie. Pls don't underestimate it because it's animated. The music, story, and performances are still top notch. Disney knocked this one out of the park.
You should definitely react to "The Family Madrigal" and then to "We don't talk about Bruno". Those are both songs from Encanto. I think you'd get a better picture of the characters and the vibe of the movie
Yes
At that point he might as well react to the whole movie 😂
@@Bria.W It's a good movie, so why not
@@randomwarriorcat6421 It's literally a amazing movie, tbh my favorite Disney movie ever
@@grasschannel5272 I agree
The magic of Lin Manuel Miranda. Every song in this movie is a damn masterpiece.
I'm a straight male and I hate how much hate I get for loving this song.
It's great, and honestly the catchiest song Disney has ever came out with.
The meaning is extremely relative to my life as well. Always being seen as the strong one, never caving in regardless of how I feel.
Gives me chills when I hear it.
The movie is about family dynamics and generational trauma - so yeah, you had a good inkling about it. It's from a very Latino point of view, but obviously a lot of people feel connected to it regardless of their roots. It just hits harder when you're Latino haha
"I'm pretty sure I'm WORTHLESS if i can't be of service" its not that she likes helping people. Shes a people pleaser because she was raised to be one. The PRESSURE is anxiety. She is physically strong, but that doesn't equal mentally and emotionallt strong and everyone expects her to be as such, especially her younger or weaker relatives. By the way she us the middle child.. I don't know about y'all but i see alot of middle children have unrealistic life expectations on them but still expected to help everyone else. That's not to say the youngest or oldest don't deal with those issues as well, but i see it mainly from middle children.
In this movie, it's less about Luisa being the middle child but more that she's the strong one physically and is expected to literally carry the burdens for the entire family.
@@Lupin788 I've seen this move 16 times since it came out. I KNOW what its about. I could give a whole essay on luisa's song alone. That was it in a lazy, general summarization for the people who hadn't seen it.. In hopes that they WOULD based on that snippet alone. Also the one reacting just wasn't getting it at all.. You have to break it down for some people, but trust me. I got it the first time i saw it.. Thank you though.
I know she's officially the middle child but this is strong first born energy. Also if Isabella was the second born, then she's under pressure to be the "perfect female" because Luisa isn't stereotypically female. Meaning that Isabella has to make up for that AND Luisa now has to be of service because she's worthless for not "girly". (But I know in the film she's middle child)
4:07 I'm not gonna lie, I almost teared up at this little speech or whatever you gave because I'm an older sister, my brother is the middle and our sister is the youngest and I always have this mentality that I have to be strong for them and to protect them no matter what. I always feel pressured that if I'm not strong enough I'm considered weak and I even ignore all my emotions for the sake of staying strong. Even to my parents I don't want to be vulnerable because I want to be that perfect daughter that they can trust, especially that they can trust to not only take care of myself but take care of my siblings and show them how to take care of themselves too. Sometimes I wonder if my siblings or even parents know the pressure (maybe my mom, she MIGHT because she's the second oldest of four but my stepdad is the youngest of three so I doubt he'd understand). Even more so the line where she says," Give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt, And see if she can handle every family burden" because I do carry a lot of burden, I listen to everyone in my family when they need a shoulder to lean on and try my best to give them advice or help them in any way I can. I feel like older sisters are silent sufferers and even though people may underestimate or misunderstand them they still go on as long as they can whether they're broken inside or not. I don't know why it's so pressuring and why it is the way it is but I really do feel Luisa on that and her song 😭😂
OMG this song is my absolute FAVORITE! Luisa is amazing! This song made me cry when I first heard it. It just hits home and the singer puts so much emotion into it
It's so weird how he goes at it with the idea that crushing pressure (and withstanding it) is a good thing and then is genuinely confused when after fighting Cerberus and breaking an iceberg apart with her fist, she goes flying off into a day dream where she can just relax and smile a second. As if that part of the visualisation was more weird than her balancing six donkeys on a tightrope.
Yes, Luisa's characterized as immensely strong physically and mentally, but that don't mean that taking the whole world solely onto your shoulders is a good thing.
I think he reacted to each time the music changed. It does change more than usual though I didn’t think about it initially until I heard others mention the frequent changes.
Encanto is a story about a family and the children are each blessed with their own unique gift that they can use to help the town where they live isolated from the rest of the world, and this song is sung by Luisa who, as you’ve probably already guessed has super strength and everything you see in this song is basically a metaphor for what she feels like her life is. One disaster after another where she has to save the day and one crushing weight after another being piled onto her back because she’s the only one with the strength to hold it.
However this is just one part of the movie, the main character of Encanto is Mirabel, her younger sister and the only child in the family who didn’t receive a gift. She finds out something is wrong, her families house is literally breaking apart and their gifts are fading, so she sets off on a mission to find a way to save their gifts before they’re lost forever.
Luisa is actually one of the most relatable characters to ever be created in a Disney movie. She loves her family and does all she can to protect and help them but things keep piling on and piling on and she’s starting to feel overwhelmed but she doesn’t want her family to know that she’s overwhelmed because in her mind if she can’t do it then she’d be letting her family down and that leaves her with this unbearable “pressure” lying just “under the surface”.
If you’re wondering what the deal is with the donkeys, she goes out to LITERALLY pick them up and drop them off in their pens whenever they escape making her character even more relatable as she works hard all day surrounded by jackasses! 😏
That "thing" about the older sisters, is assigned to them, it's not who they are, it's who their family needs them to be. It's very sad for them to have to shoulder these burdens. The movie is about generational family trauma. I'm a therapist and this movie brings me to tears.
the amount of trauma most kids go thru, i think its totally fine to have movies delve this deep into sad subjects!
I head-cannoned that Luisa was the middle sister. Mirabelle is obviously the youngest sister of the three. Isabella is seen as perfect and also Abuella's favorite grandchild, which translates to her being the oldest, the first grandchild. Luisa is shouldering everything for the family and that is very much a middle child trait. Her fear of failure is very relatable as a middle child.
not a head cannon, is in fact cannon. isabella is the firstborn of jullieta and agustin. youre right about the forced golden child thing with isabella
I know this is not relevant but cured everybody confirm ages Delores and Isabella are 21, lusia is 19, Mirabel and camilo are 15 and Antonio is 5
New things I learned from this insightful commentary:
-she is strong
-thats her older sister
Lmao right
"That leadership quality." Perfect description. I'm the youngest, I have 2 older brothers and 1 older sister, and she is DEFINITELY a leader. Not a Type A kind of leader, she just knows what she's doing, knows who she is, and growing up it seemed like she always knew. Love my big sis. ❤
Also, you should DEFINITELY watch the movie. It's all about generational trauma, getting past it and becoming stronger as a family. SO GOOD.
As an oldest sister who *did* break under the pressure, I can't listen to this song without crying. Every single time. And yet I keep coming back to it bc it puts words to my feelings SO accurately. "See if she can handle every family burden" "give it to your sister and never wonder if the same pressure would've pulled you under." Nobody ever thinks about how everything they put on us wears us down so much
You should absolutely watch the movie! No spoilers but I’m sure you’ll love it. This song speaks to me as a big sister. You’re always trying to protect the younger ones and to live up to the expectations of your parents and it can add up to a lot of pressure. Luisa is dealing with a lot but is trying to hide it. She constantly feels pressure from all the expectations on her from everyone around her. If she’s the strong one then when does she get to relax or when does she get to be vulnerable?
To get an honest reaction, react to the songs first and then watch the movie. The songs will mean so much more to you then. The next one you should do from Encanto is The Family Madrigal!
And despite the pressure, we love them and wouldn't have anyone else do it.
I think one of the reason why the songs are so good is because they had a Broadway actor and director write the songs. Like it’s more musical theater compared to other Disney movies being cutesy and softer but Encanto just took all those Disney stereotypes and threw it away.
Someone pull up the movie for this guy NOW!! He has me sobbing while he’s over here confused!! 😂😂😂
This song's visuals is all symbolism, which means every second of it represents how she's feeling about her whole situation. It's amazing :)
This movie has blown up and this song especially (my favorite) and I've watched many people reacting to it and YOUR video is my favorite. Happy to be a new subscriber, I really appreciate how in tune with the emotions of the song you are. Thanks for the content
It’s a great movie and that song is heartbreaking. I can see a woman sitting at a piano playing a slow melody with this and singing their heart to the world.
That older sister vibe you mean, it’s willingness to make ourselves suffer to make everyone else in the family happy. We’re often dumped watching younger siblings, or doing as much housework as parents, all while going to school, maybe extra curricular activities or jobs. Oldest sisters grow up fast. I would go so far as to say we give up a lot of our childhood for others.
Someone pointed this out in another reaction, but when Luisa says she knows what her worth is, the truth is she only knows *part* of what her true worth is (the part she gets from her gift), which is why she has such a hard time saying no when everyone asks her to do things (“I’m pretty sure I’m worthless if I can’t be of service”).
The attention to character detail (not just the animation) is why Disney is the best (I’ll admit there were problems with Raya & The Last Dragon, but I never said they were perfect 🤷🏻♀️)
Her: talking about how she wishes she had some time for joy
Him: what is she flying
The genuine attempt at discussing/trying to achieve the proper pronunciation made me feel all warm inside.
The movie is about toxic perfection, about meeting the expectations from the family and the town.
Near the end of the song, Luisa (the strong lady) is first shown carrying their family house, then followed by the whole town.
Heavy burden as her special power is super strength.
i feel like the character would be the best best friend ever ❤️
Lin Manuel is an absolute genius when it comes to song writing
You have the best reaction face when the house falls on her! That was always kind of a shocking moment for me, but in a lot of reaction videos I've seen it doesn't get much of a response, so I appreciate your expressiveness!
Family movies means for the family! Not just kid! The more who can enjoy the better.
Great video btw! I like how you interpreted it, you seem like a very thoughtful, genuine person! ♥️
Hey Jojo! This is the very First video i watch on your Channel. And i have to say, i really loved your reaction and the way you make your content. Keep the good work!
It's geared for kids around 10 and up, but its relatable and funny and sad and classic Disney story telling. I was surprised how much I liked it.
The kid in 30 yr old me def came out 😂
@@mrtribune5785 I'm 50, loved every second of it 👍
Thing is, a lot of people don't give kids the credit they deserve sometimes. Most kids older than 3 have at least a rudimentary foundation of emotional intelligence. Barring a condition like ASD, most kids would absolutely understand the message of the movie. That said, the more painful traits portrayed in the movie might not connect until the kid is older (if they do, it's a reason to worry; a young child shouldn't relate to Luisa in this song). Things like parentification, chronic anxiety, and emotion suppression are damaging for anyone's mental health, but the scars set in harder when inflicted on a young child.
He went thru so many emotions in 5 seconds
I have a 3 year old boy. These songs are just one big playlist going round my head 24/7. I'm so glad you're reacting to one of the songs. Honestly they're all great.
I'm impressed with your take on this, very insightful.
it's really about a dysfunctional family who seems perfect until it all implodes and they have to figure out how to solve their family issues together in a healthy way.
Love this one, my favorite so far from the movie, it has a certain BOP and the message, can relate a bit.
From this reaction we can see that people with different experiences and positions in life will not see the same thing. This is one of the family who doesn't see the pressure other people in the family take on to keep things together. It's just, 'Hey, yeah that's cool, keep it up' *as they move on ignoring the problem or just not getting it* or 'You like doing this, right? So you can do this for me, right?'
My kids made me listen to this.. that song is way deeper than they can understand right now.. but they'll understand it with age.. and it might give them empathy.. I love it.
You can listen to the first few songs without being really spoiled on the plot, but the songs definitely are major story elements, so the later ones are definitely filled with spoilers.
Probably, as a song reactor, it would be best to do both at the same time. React to the movie, and as a song starts, react to the song.
The songs are so much better in context because they the verses in them drive the story forward. Also, I have found that reactors just blindly reacting to the songs only end up spending half the song asking the questions the movie already would have answered by the time the song runs in movie, so they miss out on the proper experience.
I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be a surface is more of an allude to "if you're not working if you're not helping someone if you're not pulling your weight around here then you might as well not be here because you're worthless you contribute absolutely nothing". This movie is about a toxic family and it's dynamics. Abuela is the head of the family and she threw out most of the movie doles out her love and affection and respect for how strong your magical gift is and how much you can contribute to the family how much work you can take on without cracking.
I love the thought process you go through to figure out the pronunciation. Really smart, most people wouldn’t think twice about their pronunciation. Not that it’s *has* to be pronounced a certain way, but I love that you thought about it
“Is she flying?”
It’s a Disney Acid Sequence, dude. This is to be expected. 😂
Loved your ractiona and open mindedness! This movie is about dysfunctional family dynamics and generational trauma and it's great for both kids and adults. I would watch your reaction to the full thing honestly, but if you want more songs I suggest "Family Madrigal" for more context on the story and "We don't talk about Bruno" for an absolute banger that's trending in all music charts (you wanted rapping? There's some fast bars in both!). Others songs I would suggest you watch together with the movie, but you do you!
Dude, you need to react to "We Don't Talk About Bruno" from this movie. It just hit #1 on Spotify and #4 on the Billboard Hot 100
I have a younger sister and and it did feel like that growing up, especially being a victim of SA. I was sooooooo protective of my baby sister, I would've hurt someone real bad if I ever found out they hurt my sister. 😠.
Love you Mimi.🥰🥰
I love how you reference your older sister as being similar to Luise. I'm an older sister to the best younger brother ever... and I felt this way towards him for the first couple of decades of our lives. I got this for you bro! Don't help me, help my brother. I can take care of myself, and even though I know he can too I always wanted to make things a little easier for him. It did lead to me feeling quite abandoned in my late 20s though, when everyone was so accustomed to providing him with help and letting me figure things out on my own... but even if someone asked I'd still send them his way so that was a "me" problem, not a them problem.
To get you into a metal music kick again, I suggest a reaction to almost anything from Disturbed that you haven't heard before. Do almost anything from them before you listen/react to Sound of Silence. Their lead singer David Draiman was classically trained to be a Cantor.
U gotta watch 'the family madrigal' and 'we dont talk about bruno', the first one explains the whole thing and the second one is the family gossip song ✔️
This is my fav song in the film. It resonated with me immediately, I think because I'm the oldest sibling and oldest cousin. Idk why but I everyday I feel overwhelmed, under so much pressure. I have so many responsibilities to manage. It's so hard to find time for myself and when I do I always seem to stuff something up. I feel so protective of younger family members too which I know probably isn't always a great thing but I can't help it sometimes. I love sport and all types of exercise because I feel I can let it all go. I like that they made the older sister jacked and very physically capable in that way.
I feel like this song is so much more powerful in context of the greater story. She's a middle sister but because she is so strong and powerful, everyone relies on her to do everything that is even remotely challenging. She feels like her whole identity is helping other people and she has no worth if she can't be there for everyone who needs her, so she can never relax or take time for herself, no breaks, ever. No one ever thinks to ask her what SHE needs so she doesn't allow herself to think about her own needs either.
You got to listen to emigrate such a underrated band. You should check out I’m still alive, you can’t runaway, freeze my mind, rage and hypothetical. The lead singer is the guitarist of the German band Rammstein you should check them out after both have very good music.
You should listen/react to "We don't talk about Bruno" from Encanto. Then watch the movie.
Family and family rules/roles perfection and trauma. First movie made truly for adults in Disney format. I’m also a middle child but the first female so I really connect to Luisa. I’m also a therapist too so that self care and relaxation is important
I would say that was Inside Out.
Yup. You do need to watch this. Just watched it this week and... it's one of Disney's best in recent years.
5:56 i love how he has the same reaction, at the same time.
This song breaks my heart every time. It seems so personal.
His genuine confusion is the funniest thing xD he has a good take for someone who has never seen the movie. These songs have not left my head since i watched the movie.
I feel worthless unless I can be of service- she’s saying she doesn’t feel her intrinsic worth, only her service makes her worthy. She doesn’t feel like a person. She feels like a tool. Like she’s only worthy if someone is using her.
This is valuable for everyone to hear- you’re worthy because you’re you. You are unique and hold a place in the world that no one else can. Be the best YOU, not the best USED.
Dude your reaction was priceless you made my day 😂💙
I just came across your reaction video because I like this song. It's nice to see a down to earth young man. It's refreshing TBH. Thanks for sharing. I'm a middle child (in my 40s) and yah my sister is like Mirabelle's older sister. Independent, mentally sharper, over bearing at times, and takes on a lot upon herself. Now that my mom is passed, she's kinda a stand in for our mom. I'm glad to have her in my life. I know that I have help if I need it.
Enjoy the movie.
this movie has so many good songs, i'd love to see your reactions!!
I've seen the movie because of this song, as soon as I heard I thought the same, "it's interesting maybe I should watch it", and you should, it is great indeed
6:09 I think that is part of why this movie is so good, besides the banger songs: it has some heavy themes that adults understand, but also has light hearted moments for the kids.
I'm 37 and just so happen to walk by while my 11 and 7 year old kids were watching this. I absolutely love this movie and recommend you watch it too!!
This movie is about a big family where each member has a magical power, except for one. Although each member has a "Gift", it comes with a lot of expectations, and pressure from both the town and family to be who you're "supposed" to be.
As a younger child that had to watch his older brother grow up way too fast, who had to sacrifice his youth to act as a stand-in parent, and whose brother tried to make my childhood everything that his wasn't....this song broke me. As a reminder of how insanely hard it must have been for my brother and all the stress he was constantly under. ...Be right back, I need to make a hone call. :(
Luisa is also a middle child, just FYI. She feels this pressure to do whatever her family needs, as well as the entire village, cuz of her gift of super strength, and they all take advantage of her, most without meaning to. So here she is saying the constant pressure is making her feel like she is “worthless if she can’t be of service” which is rly sad, cuz it’s great that she can help ppl, but that’s ALL she does, all day every day, basically. And obviously it has taken its toll
It's definitely a movie about family issues. I love this movie & this is my favorite song. You need to watch it.
WATCH THE MOVIE!!!! It is sooo worth it! Love from Colombia ♥️
I relate to the sister im the eldest ive carried so much weight since young . Ive kept my family together. Shes always carying her family . She expects alot of her self
Definitely give it a watch. Lin-Manual Miranda is a lyrical genius and the story is also well written.
It's basically a movie about breaking generational trauma and they do have gifts such as super strength in her case. This song shows how Luisa is expected to be the strong one all the time but it puts so much pressure on her that she bears for her sister
I really enjoyed your reaction. Yep, this is how we all felt watching this scene. "What? She's rapping?" Yep. And it was Sooo good. And yes your older sister might feel this, your mom too. It's a good movie for families. And yes, they're teaching morals, understanding and kindness to young kids now. My kids are 5 and 3. But it speaks to people in all kinds of family dynamics.
When you were questioning if it's a kids' movie - I had same thoughts while watching the movie! The movie is so great and it's quite therapeutic! I cried so much couple times and I was wondering if all the kids in the theatre are not bored XD I think this movie is targeted more at grownups than children with its message.
Encanto is a movie for everyone, which is why I think it's so monumental. It can apply to everyone, old and young.
“Looking like the rock from back!!” I’m cracking up 🤣 🪨
"It feels like she's talking about family problems"
that's what the movie's about
Mad love and credit to ur older sister putting in the work to be a sibling leader :)
This movie is about toxic family dynamics. It's technically about a family that was given magical powers and every single person in the family has a magical power. Luisa the girl singing the song her magical power is super strength. Maribel the girl with glasses is the youngest sister and she is the only one who was never given a magic power. I highly recommend watching this. This movie is basically a metaphor about toxic family dynamics, there's a golden child, the scapegoat, and the strong silent One. It's a very very good movie and it shows the consequences of playing favorites among your kids. It's really a wonderful movie I highly recommend watching it.
I’m sure you know by now, but this is a movie about a family that is struggling with an insane amount of pressure and anxiety because they want to live up to the expectations of their grandmother.
And the main character is working on fixing the family problems and keep the family together.
She is the middle child that everyone turns to when they want anything done. They expect her to do it because she is strong. But all that expectation on her is getting to the tipping point because she does take every family burden on (except when the magic falters).
This song is a plea for help because she is feeling like she has to take on all family and community burdens.
This was also the song that made me want to watch the movie. I did end up watching it and it’s a movie about a family where each member has some kind of magical power gifted to them as kids. This character was called Luisa and you can probably guess that her power was super strength.
While Luisa is actually the middle child, she has _major_ eldest sibling vibes. As the oldest of three, this song is basically my theme.
"And I glow cuz I know what my worth is"...such a dope lyric. C'mon Brown Girl Magic!
She's basically singing about because she is strong on the outside, she is expected to be strong. Meanwhile all the pressure and expectations is actually killing her inside because she is afraid someone might see her as weak if she fails. Being strong is a double edged sword. As far as she is concerned, all of her self worth comes from her gift which isn't actually a healthy way to live or think.
