Is Hamilton coming too? Because that ended up in a tie with this movie and there doesn't seem to have been a tiebreaker poll.

Mark McKeown

Next month, the last poll was for the next 3 month's worth, so Hamilton will be next and then Zombieland 2 I think

The best thing about this movie is that it doesn't go for the cliched, and often problematic, moral that the elder is always right and everyone should conform to what they want. This time, it's the wise old grandmother who for all her good intentions is just straight up WRONG, and is the one who needs to learn a lesson and make amends.

I’m glad to see you really enjoyed this, Jess. It’s a nice aspect of the film that it’s made in such a way that as you described everyone has struggles, ergo, anyone can relate to any of the Madrigal characters. In my case, I’m definitely the Bruno of my family, between being the “family weirdo” as Mirabel described it, how Bruno himself said, “My gift wasn’t helping the family.” and as you noted, his hiding because he didn’t want to keep disappointing his family, which is a rather succinct description of myself, albeit in my case the hiding from the family translates more to emotionally hiding rather than physically hiding. I quite enjoyed your liking Mirabel's sisters. It’s also nice as you observed that the message for this film will be great for the younger generations. I agree with you about the abuela in that she was holding onto the gift, the Encanto, and was unknowingly and as you posited perhaps in some cases knowingly placing far too much pressure on the family. Which, considering her past, the trauma she lived through and endured, can’t say I blame her. Now, one may not condone all her actions, yet you can still understand where she’s coming from. I wish I could say that I loved this movie as much as you did. Unfortunately, I cannot as I’m sorry to say that when it comes to Encanto, charming though it is, I was not particularly taken with it. Also, and this is probably a highly controversial opinion, I was not overly fond of the songs, nice though they were. I can’t even say that I had a favorite song in this. Still, as I said I’m glad you really enjoyed the movie. Who cares if I didn’t exactly feel the same way? You really loved and enjoyed the film, that’s the more important thing. And it was a most delightful reaction. And if nothing else, it’s always so lovely just to share a movie with you, Jess.
