[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll have to watch it again.

Bruno character is not a cut and dry victim or family scapegoat. 
Since many of his visions turned out untrue (unrequited love) or too vague (maribels role) and others seemed like pranks (rain! Oh you thought about rain and made it rain!) or [b]unnecessary (fyi your pet dies tomorrow! Yours gonna get fat someday!)[/b], it’s hard to know. Plus we don’t know what age he was doing any of this.

And was his tunnel door thing the magic door the house gave him upon his ceremony?? That’s f’d up.

The movie and narratives (songs and dialogs) covered a lot of territory. [/quote]

I took those as a reflection of how shallow and simple the villagers were. They had a great life because the Madrigals did everything for them Like did they really need Luisa to constantly round up the donkeys? Why couldn't they do it themselves? Why didn't they fix the fence? Or why did they need the river re-routed, rather than just carrying water like everyone else in the world? Did they really need the church moved over a few feet for convenience?

Since they had no real worries or troubles, they were self-absorbed and only cared about dumb things like goldfish and weight. So there was really nothing else that could be a prophecy, since there was so little going on in their lives.

I would have liked to see more of the villagers' character arc, where they realize they have been taking advantage and learn to be more self-sufficient. It could have been developed more than just helping them build the house, like they realize they can't rely on Luisa for everything, they need to be more careful and not rely on Julieta to fix their ailments, etc. [/quote]

I think the point was Abuela thought the magic built the family and the community when it’s family and community that created the magic. Maribel’s gift really was saving the miracle, family, and community. She was on the family door at the end. [/quote]

But can’t she get a room of her own???

No one has a room with their name on it at the end. Just one has an image—the front door with the family. [/quote]
