[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]P.S. I also think that in his pre-hiding life, Bruno was a prankster  -- he obviously used to dick with people by saying things like "looks like rain" when your sister's sweating, or telling people their fish will die or they'll get a gut etc. We saw what it takes for him to ACTUALLY have a vision and I'm sure he didn't sit in his cave and meditate for any of those things![/quote]

I think it’s more likely Bruno has poor social skills, or is on the spectrum, plus had a lot of pressure put on him from a young age.

Having that horrible cave room starting at age 5 would be enough to make any kid go crazy.

I’m sure everyone wanted their future told, so at a very young age he had all this pressure to give people their prophecies when they asked. Most of which he probably couldn’t understand, or were not appropriate for his age. Then people would get upset with him, when he was just doing what was asked. That’s really heavy for a kid. He was likely isolated from other people and children, so he never developed good social skills, hence why he thought living in the walls was a good idea, and why he fumbled when trying to talk to Pepa on her wedding day. He wanted to let her know he saw she was stressed and wanted to help, but it came out all wrong and made things worse.

I also think his prophecies weren’t “set in stone” but were more of warnings. Like getting a gut - totally preventable, and it could have easily just been a warning of “if you keep eating that way, this is what will happen”. But people took them literally and it became a self fulfilling prophecy - if I’m going to be fat anyway, may as well eat what I want!

It also says a lot about the villagers that they were so upset over gaining weight, losing hair, and a dead goldfish. Those are all very shallow and nothing to be upset over. I think that was a point of the movie, that the villagers were all mooching off of the family and were very shallow people, in the end they had to recognize that they need to pitch in, too. [/quote]

Enchanto is written on the fence about Bruno being a prankster or concerned, or going into a trance for prophesies or not, or liking being alone or not. Nothing addresses the age of when he stopped socializing with the family but I doubt it was age 5.

He certainly had a conniving face and body language approaching his sister, who’s mind makes the weather, when he chose to go up to her before her wedding ceremony and talk about it a storm coming. Triggering her to think up a storm. 
He didn’t come up with a warning or concern or solution to a hurricane he prophesied was coming.

Anyhow. Lots of gray which makes it great fodder!  [/quote]
