[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you. I feel very invested in Dolores for some reason. She must know so many secrets! Not all that interested in the shape shifting cousin.[/quote]

"He told me that the love of my dreams would be just out of reach, betrothed to another." This happened! I think We Don't Talk About Bruno (and how all the subsequent stories about prophecies lined up) is about [b]how 'fate' can be deceptive[/b]. The people in the village are like 'your fate is sealed when your prophecy is read' but for the gut and the hair, this is just their own choices. For Pepa, she heard Bruno say there would be rain and it caused HER to cause the rain. Isabella tried to be perfect because he told her she would be but then didn't understand what it meant. Dolores's prophecy was just for a single moment, not the rest of her life. I think that is an important theme of the movie. Bad things happen, are happening, have happened, will happen; but that does not have to dictate the future.

I am also invested in Dolores. I think it is funny that they say she can't keep a secret. When clearly she can, she heard Bruno all this time. She hears everything. She decides what to share, like telling Mirabel about Luisa, like giving her context about Bruno, like bringing the conflict to a head. I think she is great![/quote]

Yes!! I love Dolores. First of all, the actress who voices her has a wonderful voice. Second of all, she DOES keep everyone's secrets, all the time, or the town would be in chaos. That's why it's so interesting that she decides to tell about Bruno's prophecy. She's also the only one who from the beginning understood who Bruno was and why everyone treated him the way they did -- that his power was so great that the others couldn't deal with their own lack of comprehension. Dolores 4 eva. I also loved the twist that the meathead Mariano isn't such a meathead, but that she's the only one who really knows that. I hope they are very happy and she enjoys having his 5 babies.[/quote]

In the song, Dolores is pretty direct on this: "It’s a heavy lift with a gift so humbling / Always left Abuela and the family fumbling / Grappling with prophecies they couldn’t understand / Do you understand?"[/quote]
