[quote=Anonymous]Listen, i get it. some of you love the movie. But some of us expect more from Disney and LMM at this point. I think it had promise and could have been a pretty good film but it spent way too long showing how all of these family members are special compared to the 'others' who don't have the special gifts. When you spend a good 15 minutes on a guy living in the walls but not one family member coaxed him out, showed care/love/sympathy, just "we don't talk about him' and only a few minutes with the matriarch who started this entire abusive circle saying "oopsies, sorry'. Yeah. That is not an ok way to resolve what is now decades of abuse. 
Each person thought they used their gifts for good but really they were just selfish and liked the attention. Instead of building a room for Maribel, who i guess could only get a bedroom if she was special enough and the house deemed it so, they kept her in a nursery. 
And yes, that little kid was scared to not get a gift because he saw his 20 year old aunt living in a baby room and his uncle was basically ostracized from teh family all related to this 'gift' business. 
The film could have held promise had they come to the realization they all sucked at around the mid point and spent the rest of hte movie showing how every person in that town was great. NOT just this family. If someone, anyone other than Maribel had shown an ounce of humainty to Bruno, I don't know, if we found out they were secretly feeding him, communicating with him, begging him to return. Nope. Instead we get a 5 minute song saying they don't talk about him. That is not a way to handle any situation and can be a really unhealthy message for any person or child feeling alone and not like everyone else. 
And for those defending this movie and NOT showing abuse, i do feel for you because you may have been in abusive relationships and were gaslighted to think they weren't. [/quote]
