"You're the real gift, kid."

- Bruno to Mirabel in All Of You

Can we talk about how true that is ?

Do you realize Mirabel did everything she said she would do in Waiting On A Miracle...?

❂ "I would move the mountains"

She literally opened a path to the past, breaking the mountain between them and the river where her grandfather was killed

❂ "Make new trees and flowers grow"

She helped Isabela discover the extent of her plant-making powers and find her true self along the way

❂ "Someone please just let me know where do I go"

She found Bruno. He was just as lost as she was, but he helped her realize the most important thing : she is exactly what the family needs

❂ "I would heal what's broken Show this family something new"

She stood up for her family when she confronted her grandmother, something none of them dared doing until then. She listened to them, she repaired their broken bound, she showed them they were more than just their gift... She gave them support and freedom.

❂ "Bless me now as you blessed us all those years ago When you gave us a miracle Am I too late for a miracle?"

You are the miracle, Mirabel. You were the miracle they needed all along...

#many people told me they did not find the songs in Encanto as memorable as other beloved Disney songs... #they may be right #but there's something I'll keep defending #Lin-Manuel Miranda is a talented lyricist #the lyrics may seem simple at first but they are so much more when you take the time to truly listen to them #there is something he is amazing at : motifs #his songs...they answer each other #themes and words keep coming back and it's super effective #the most important motifs here are ''open your eyes'' and the theme about shining #that's exactly why I got obsessed with Hamilton as a clueless French person who does not care about America's ''founding fathers'' #by the way : go watch ''Hamilton and Motifs: Creating Emotional Paradoxes'' on YouTube #this video helped me put words on the emotions his songs make me feel #which is...all of them. I'm overwhelmed. please send help. #Encanto #Encanto spoilers #Mirabel Madrigal #Bruno Madrigal #Madrigal Family #Hamilton #Lin-Manuel Miranda #being very emotional and analytic at the same time is a blessing and a curse... #naelistic train of thought
