Movie Rant: Encanto
Hello!!!! How’s everyone doing? Have you seen Encanto? If you haven’t, then what the heck are doing with your life?
When I first saw the trailer I was so excited to see the movie, I tried to find all of the sneak peaks I could find (I even watched the pirated scenes that were on YouTube, I couldn’t help myself). I listened to the soundtrack before even watching the movie (just the We Don’t Talk About Bruno song) and fell in love with it. But when I saw the movie in theaters, at the end I didn’t feel satisfied. I felt kind of let down. With all the hype and the excitement about the movie I was so excited to see it. But then at the end fo the movie, I kinda felt robbed. *Nervous chuckle* Like was this really how they were going end the movie? From what I heard about what was going to happen in the movie, all the problems the family was having, I was expecting more. I didn’t know what I was expecting but I thought for sure it was more. Seeing what everyone was dealing with but it seems like we mainly focused on Julieta’s family problems. Not even Pepa’s family problems. I mean we saw what Pepa was kind of going through. But wasn’t Camilo was also suppose to be going through some kind of identity crisis? I don’t remember if Dolores or Antonio were also going through something. Maybe Dolores felt invisible and Antonio was feeling the pressure of the family responsibility to the village. I’m not sure.
Maybe it was because I saw the sneak peaks and read too information about the movie. Maybe I just self sabotaged the movie experience. I still think it was a greta movie. The soundtrack was amazing, absolutely love it. The movie just felt short to me, too short for all their family problems to end in an hour and thirty minutes.
