[Happy Weekend] "Fantasy Magic House" (English: Encanto)

The movie "Encanto" (English: Encanto) is Disney's latest cartoon. I saw this movie poster at Disney last year, but I haven't had the opportunity to take my children into the cinema to watch it. It has ended. It's fine now, watching from the comfort of the sofa at home.

The story tells that Mirabel was born in a magical family, but in the family, she is the only one who is not very gifted with magic. One day, Mirabelle discovered that there was a crack in the magic house they lived in, and the magic of the family members gradually disappeared, but she was the savior who was prophesied to save the entire family.

Make good use of talent, not use talent

In the movie, the entire community relies on the Mirabelle family's talent/magic, which puts a lot of pressure on their family members. For example, Mirabell's sister Luisa, who is extremely powerful, often uses her strength to help the residents of the village deal with various problems, including moving churches, moving donkeys and so on.

But this also caused the villagers to rely too much on her ability, making her bear more and more burdens bit by bit, so that she was about to be overwhelmed by huge pressure, and even worried that if she lost her natural ability, she would not contribute , becomes worthless.

"With great power comes great responsibility"? Maybe the magic family should make good use of everyone's talents to create a better life for the community, instead of letting all the villagers use this as an excuse to avoid responsibility and load all the responsibilities on themselves or their family members.

Talent is not good or bad, just how to use it.

In the movie, Uncle Meilibao's talent is to predict the future. Because he often predicted bad things, the villagers felt that he would bring bad luck and excluded him. And he chose to leave the family in order to protect the beautiful treasure because he foresaw that the beautiful treasure was the key person in the collapse of the magic house.

I believe that many people want to have the superpower of predicting the future, and the disadvantages of the ability to predict the future are brought out in the movie. If bad things will happen in the foreseeable future, would you believe it? Would you like to know? Or do you, like the villagers, blame the prophets for these bad things?

Maybe there is no good or bad talent or superpower, it's just how we use our talent or ability to benefit the community/society and create a better future for ourselves. Just like Merrill, the magic candle did not give her any "talent", but her naturally optimistic character and perseverance helped her to break free from the shackles of her original family and create miracles for herself and the whole family.

This movie can be said to be a joyous musical comedy. There are several Colombian songs in the movie. The music is very pleasant. The jumping melody and bright rhythm all attract people to move their bodies. Every time the two daughters heard the music, they couldn't help but dance, and the younger daughter would turn around in circles, which was very cute.

"Fantasy Magic House" is a very suitable program for the whole family to watch. You can arrange it as a weekend parent-child activity, enjoy!
