Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow

[ WARNING ⚠️ May contain spoilers from the Disney movie's Encanto ]

If you haven't watched the movie and you're planning on watching it, I suggest to just skip and keep scrolling to the bottom of this article and just click the Like button. But if you wish to read it and to have knowledge on what the story was all about, then I humbly appreciate it.

Buckle up and now we're heading to the place of enchanted and full of magic. Let's go the La Casa Madrigal!

The new animated Disney movie Encanto gives so much lessons in life especially when it comes to the family. The story in circles around the family madrigal that are so much relatable to every families around the world. The family conflict, the misunderstanding and everything. I have watched Encanto for the third time. Aside from the story itself and it's moral lessons, one thing that makes me wanna watch it on repeat is their songs especially the OST of the movie. Each songs are so catchy that makes you wanna listen to it on repeat especially the vibes and it's beat. Well, as expected from a Disney movie.

I love how this movie gives other characters each point of view that helps us understand more on each one of them.

The story circles around the Family Madrigal and extraordinary family. Abuela, their grandmother bares a triplets and they are named Julieta, Peppa and Bruno. Julieta has three daughters and they are Luisa, Isabela and Mirabel while Peppa also give birth to three kids named Dolores, Camilo and Antonio. Only their tio Bruno remained single. Each one of them have received a gift coming from the magical candle which is also the house itself. On their right day, a new door will shine and awaits behind it their gift that they will get. Everyone of the family received theirs except for Merabel were she is the only one who doesn't have a magical gift.

Mirabel grew up not having the same power as what her family has. As she grows older, she's still waiting for the miracle to happen and that a new door will open for her. Imagine being Merabel and growing up in a family who has magical powers except you. Imagine how painful could it be in the side of Merabel. She tried everything to impress her Abuela that even though she doesn't have powers like her siblings and cousins have, but at least she can do things that makes her Abuela and her family proud. But no matter how hard she tries, Abuela's treatment to her is no longer the same since the day she didn't receive her gift.

Those people who appears to be so jolly and happy all around hides a saddest and darkest part inside of them. Just like Mirabel, even though she's the only member of the family who doesn't magical powers, that doesn't stop her from making enjoying the life and making her family proud.

Abuela gives so much focus on preserving the magic in the family madrigal that is why Isabela, the perfect and the golden of the family and Mirabel's sister was bound to marry Mariano. But little did Abuela know that Isabela didn't even like Mariano and she only agreed to get married to Mariano for the sake of the family. Isabela didn't even get the chance to explore more about her and discover something that she didn't know she's capable of because ever since the day she was born, she was stuck to becoming the perfect lady and the golden of the family madrigal. She forced herself to be the person she doesn't want to become. It all for the sake of the family.

Luisa's character, the oldest sister of Mirabel is the representation of what the oldest felt in every family. They are the second parent and they must remain strong because people will relay on them as the oldest among the siblings. Just like what she said in her song..

"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"

Each one of them was being pressured by the thought of preserving the magic of the family to the point that they overdo it and became the person they don't want to become. We try our best to live up to the expectations of our family, our parents, siblings, grandparents , people we look up to and with some people it seems that whatever we do , we will never be enough.

It's true that the pressure we have in ourselves was all coming from our own family. The pressure of getting their expectations so high and make our family proud.

Ciao!
