[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have many thoughts.  I totally get representation and diversity.  And the movie was great for that.  I also love Lin Manuel Miranda and think some of the songs are really, really good.

But after watching it I just thought the story was little weak and thin.  Bruno lives in the walls for YEARS?  What about the sister with the bionic hearing, she doesn't know he's there?  Why was his vision about her?  Why DOESN'T she have a power, or a room?  Just from a story perspective a little weak.  [/quote]

She does hear him.  She sings about it in We Don’t Talk About Bruno.  She doesn’t tell people he’s there because they don’t walk about it ;).[/quote]

Yeah, I thought that made it even worse.  She knows her uncle is going crazy living inside the walls of he houses because grandma drove him away but doesn’t think to tell her mother, who is probably desperately worried about her missing triplet, or go find him to maybe share some kind words with him?  That’s next level family dysfunction.  [/quote]

I think they could have fleshed out Dolores' character all around, like the coupling at the end for her.[/quote]

They definitely could have developed it a bit more but the pieces were there for sure. For example, Maribel is essentially becoming her abuela for the next generation… no magic of her own just deep love and pride, which is why she eventually is given the magic door knob her cousins and sisters and mom has but for the house. It’s a continuation of her abuelas legacy, but abuela was to scared to see it. I found it really beautiful and it definitely grew on me after the 99 times my kids watched it. Another reason it feels different - there isn’t a villain! Villains keep movies moving, and no sassy side kick! It is a simple movie in a lot of ways. [/quote]

Pp you're responding to and I agree. I did love the toucan and would've loved more of him![/quote]
