i'm not crying about this song from encanto you're crying about this song from encanto 😭
Conversation
i've rewound the movie to listen to this song maybe 5 times so far. 2x in spanish, 3x in english. i like the feel of this movie in spanish but i think the english will be more emotionally connective

there are no villains in encanto and nobody at any point did anything wrong. every single character was trying their best at every point in the plot

"Evil is illusory; In its place is myopic, selfish desperation that would be (safe and) good, instantly, if it knew how."

@meditationstuff uses the phrase "myopic selfish desperation" to talk about "evil" and i love it, so concisely descriptive; here i'm focusing on the myopia

[more serious spoiler warning]
towards the end when abuela says "i broke the family" and mirabel responds "we are a family because of you" she is not contradicting her, they are just both right
today i am waking up after bawling my eyes out about encanto and sleeping for 5 hours and i feel like a new man

step 2a of the crying-at-movies protocol was very good to me

step 2a. for added effect, describe to yourself (or a friend!) in simple, childlike, emotional language why what's happening is so sad. eg "he left her and now she's all alone!"
