When you cry with abuela Alma, you're crying along 7 millon of us, victims of forced displacement. Our history is full of pain but also full of magic and hope. We're trying to heal and build a better future. Greetings from Colombia!
Oof. Then I’ve cried with y’all about 50 times and that’s really not an exaggeration. I watch a lot of reactions to the movie and this song and I cried every time. It’s hard not to.
I’m so happy to see Disney acknowledging the trauma of displacement and the struggle of generations in families to feel safe again. God bless Columbia, and all of the world’s refugees.
I'm right there with you, man. A father of two young boys myself, the thought of making the ultimate sacrifice for them and for my wife pulled my heart so hard - I was a blubbering mess at this song. They did so well with this scene and this movie.
She didn't have time to grieve , she lost her home, her husband,part of her heart and everyone was left looking up to her after all that loss, plus she had the little ones to protect and lose too if she was "weak", and while she went at it the wrong way, that's what grief does to some of us, we harden up for our own protection so we are never that vulnerable again, we act tough, and are hard on others because we do not want to lose it all again.
Have you noticed that abuela wears a black cape the whole time, it only dissapers after Mirabel leads her into the water. Abuela never stoped grieving, she only came to terms with her grif when she finaly could realy see Mirabel for who and what she was.
Someone said the vision that showed Mirabel hugging Isabella was actually showing Mirabel hugging the younger version of Abuela, finally allowing her to begin healing after all those years.
I think she saw both of them. Isabella was just the first step. You could also see that Isabella looks almost exactly like Abuela in her youth, which explains why Abuela expects “perfection” from her. So to start the healing process for Abuela, she had to start with Isabella❤️
Ya I think she had to fix her relationship with both of them. My theory is the house was braking because of the divide in the family and so to fix it she needed to fix the family relationship
@@cheshireneko9381 there's also if you look at Mariano he looks very similar to abuelo Pedro, so it's very possible abuela may have been projecting her life onto Isabella
For us Colombians that song hit us so bad, it reflects the very violent history of #Colombia since long before #LaViolencia which started in 1.948 and still is ongoing.
No solo esta, la violencia que viene desde los movimientos centralistas y federalistas, luego la guerra de los mil días, luego liberales y conservadores... Toda la historia de Colombia ha sido círculos de venganza...
Agreed! While they never really specify the exact time the movie takes place in, I really think its in the mid 1900s. (There was a scrapped story idea that supports this) So, what happened to the town/Abuela Alma and Abuelo Pedro were from, probably happened during the War of a Thousand Days (1899-1903).
Two little caterpillars in love Spend their nights and early mornings together Full of hunger they keep walking And navigating a world that changes and keeps changing And navigating a world that changes and keeps changing Two caterpillars stop the wind While they embrace with feeling They keep growing, not knowing when to search for some retreat, times keep changing They are inseparable and times keep changing Ay, little caterpillars, don't hold on anymore You must grow apart and return, you'll keep moving forwards Miracles come, chrysalises come13 You must leave and build your own future Ay, little caterpillars, don't hold on anymore You must grow apart and return, you'll keep moving forwards Miracles come, chrysalises come You must leave and build your own future Two disoriented caterpillars In two well-wrapped cocoons With new dreams, now all that's missing is To do what's necessary in a world that keeps changing Taking down its walls, there comes our miracle Our miracle, our miracle Ay, butterflies, don't hold on anymore You must grow apart and return, you'll keep moving forwards There are already miracles, chrysalises breaking open You must fly, you must find your own future Ay, butterflies, don't hold on anymore You must grow apart and return, you'll keep moving forwards There are already miracles, chrysalises breaking open You must fly, you must find your own future Ay, butterflies, don't hold on anymore You must grow apart and return, you'll keep moving forwards There are already miracles, chrysalises breaking open You must fly, you must find your own future.
Pedro really is the heart and soul of this whole movie even though we never hear a word from him… not to minimise abuela or anyone else in the family but his sacrifice and love for his young family is so incredibly powerful
One thing I admire about you is that you seem like a very dudely dude that isn't afraid to cry on the internet. That takes brass. I still try to hide my tears from my wife and kids. On another note, I'm not strong in Spanish but I'd love to learn this song.
@@pinkbarbie6966 But I'm the strong one, I'm not nervous. I'm as tough as the crust of the earth is...Lol j/k. I dig what you're saying. I'm a work in progress.
I listened to the song with my girls when I was cooking. I couldn't stop crying... to what my 6 year old asked... are you chopping onions Mummy ?😂. I am from Colombia and this song is beautiful not just because of the movie but because of the lyrics.
Your reaction is really genuine. Not only because you're crying, but you tell everything with your face (unlike other people who exaggerate and are fake in their enthusiasm and it's so noticeable). This is a great and sad song, showing us how Abuelo Pedro's life was interrupted before it was his time, and how Abuela Alma was broken in pieces and had to carry all that sorrow all those years until she became an old woman.
This movie moves Colombians, because one of the most emotional scenes in the film reminds us of the displacement and violence that many of us experience as a result of the wars between guerrillas, paramilitaries, drug traffickers and the government. It reminds us of how many of our families lost one of their pillars (Dad) and how Mom had to rebuild her family from the ashes after losing everything. Our grandmothers and mothers are heroines for Colombians, they gave everything to rebuild their families, and our country. That is why the role of the grandmother in this film is important because thanks to all her sacrifices to her great strength, our house is being rebuilt, our beautiful home Colombia.
8:44 is a parallel of Abuela and Mirabel’s earlier argument. “The cracks started, with you. Bruno left, because of you. Luisa’s losing her powers, Isabela’s out of control, because of you.” “We were saved, because of you. We were given a miracle, because of you. We are a family, because of you.” “I don’t know why you weren’t given a gift. But it is not an excuse to hurt this family.” “Nothing could ever be broken, that we can’t fix, together.”
This song makes me cry every single time. Outright sobbing right now, sometimes it hits harder, haha. Look up the lyrics for sure - they’re gorgeous! It’s basically an extended metaphor about caterpillars turning into butterflies - how they have to break apart before they can reform into something even more free and beautiful, and how they must accept change because the world and time moves on regardless of whether they feel ready for it or not. Thanks for the genuine reaction. Can’t even imagine how much more impactful it would’ve been in context for you, oof. (Personally, spoilers like the ones in this and All of You would’ve ruined some things for me, but if you’re not worried that’s your preference!) I hope you enjoy the movie whenever you finally watch it!
I was a sobbing mess with this part of the movie the first time I saw it, so I get your sentiment. This is a powerful scene and as a native Spanish speaker, let me tell you, the song definitely fits the narrative of this scene.
If you go back to The Family Madrigal, when Abuela first starts singing, it's the same melody as Dos Origuitas. Full circle. I love Lin and his brain! So ingenious!
As a father, myself, this song destroys me every time as well. It is beautiful and amazing, and I love it... but it is the trauma that the whole miracle was rooted in, and it faces the poison that was eating at the beauty that the miracle could have been. That it should have been. Moreso than being a father to two wonderful girls right now, though, when it comes to this song, is being what I call a "father of the heart" to many of my friends over the years. I've helped... a lot of people over the years with their own traumas over the years, doing my best to help them process through it and come back to a place of growth... that is really where this song hits me the hardest. Now, I've largely set that aside for my immediate family. But I still remember.
Great reaction.. i cried right along with you, as I always do at this scene. Origuguitas.... caterpillars, Mariposa... Butterflies. Notice that both Abuela and Mirabel both have butterflies on their clothes. Sebastian also sings this in English.. SO so beautiful. Enjoy this movie.. I have many times! Thanks, Dennis! Stay safe!
have you noticed that abuela wears a black cape the whole time, it only dissapers after Mirabel leads her into the water. Abuela never stoped grieving, she only came to terms with her grif when she finaly could realy see Mirabel for who and what she was.
Crying is the absolutely right reaction, especially when you know the words. I cry every time I hear it. Letting go of the people/situations we are attached to can be so hard, and this song keeps saying, "Let go."
This made me think about not only what my immediate family went through to make sure that we were okay. But also about the innumerable grandmothers and grandfathers, whose names I don’t even know, and what they went through to see that their children could live another day maybe not even knowing if they succeeded. 🥺
Just found your channel but you really understood the message of this movie and this song. Thanks for understanding it I have met a lot of people who say things like “they should have stayed in their country” without even thinking what horrible conditions they are trying to escape from and giving up on literally everything and starting over to give their kids a better opportunity. Thank you for understanding it is really really great to see ❤️
Aww, what a sweet and genuine reaction. While not my favorite song from the movie (lost my dad not long ago so it just makes me too sad), it is beautiful and I hope it wins the Oscar.
The lyrics could be about the city's garbage collection; it's the TONE and MOOD of the song, so quiet, intimate, and loving that contrasts with Abuela Alba's love, grief, and strength that tears one apart. Then, the reconcilliation between Abuela and Mirabel literally brings a new day, and the tone of the song becomes joyous. Bring out the crying towels.
You mention around 6:50 how Abula is walking by each door. Look at her posture as she goes by each door. She slowly becomes more and more down. It's almost as though she was aware of the problem for a long time, but was never able to face it until Mirabel forced her to confront it.
I loved your reaction! Curious fact: The river is real!! Its name is Caño Cristales and its located in Meta, Colombia. Is actually a magical place. The River of 5 colors!
In all honesty the fact that i dont understand the words makes me pay even more attention to the emotion of the song. As a dad i can safely say i will step into harms way to protect my family. Gets me in the feels every time.
man, seeing you cry in this reaction was cute, Dos Oruguitas is a song full of so much feeling and message; (There is an English version, so you understand the lyrics, sung by Sebastian Yatra too). This was experienced by our Colombian grandparents and sadly, not so much anymore but it continues to happen thanks to drug trafficking, it is such a destructive plague; families, environment, soldiers etc, just for money. Disney did a nice job with Encanto and thanks to that it is nominated for three categories at the oscars including this song.
You know, I come back to watch this every so often and start crying all over again (not only from the moment, but also your reaction always gets me). Doesn't matter how many times I've seen it. I need to go back and watch this movie again; so amazing all around!
Thank you for excellent explanation. Also, the video shows true stories of families were affected by violence. My grandparents were living in a beautiful farm near river ,mountains with many animals. We used to spend time there for Christmas. Unfortunately, the guerrilla one day burnt part ot the farm and my grandparents had to flee and move with us to the city. The movie remind that situation so I was cried a lot. The guerrilla stole our joy in that place but Thank God never stole the family we still are.
Thank You for making this review, am from Colombia and my father was born in the middle of these violent movements between Liberals and Conservatives; it was one of the darkest periods in Colombian history. Then Narcos took over with Gueriila and Paramilitares is a cycle of political corruption that keeps Colombian people in the middle of the fire . Thank You, Thank You for your review . Abuela cries cause she was so still hang upon her pain that she failed to see the blessings that came from such tragedy like Mirabelle💞💝
I might not be a parent, but this is such a painful scene to watch; it still breaks my heart that Pedro and Alma never got to grow old together, that their triplets never got to know their papá...! And Alma ("Abuela") never had a chance to grieve. And all the refugees... too many families could tell the same story! This scene (and this song) are powerful enough when you don't understand the lyrics, but the metaphors about two little caterpillars having to go their separate ways in an ever-changing world to reach their full potential despite that they're not ready to let go of each other just hits you...! This is as powerful as "Remember Me" from "Coco"; both songs/scenes are unbelievably poignant...!
Hello, I am Colombian and this song moves me to the core because it shows a reality that is lived in my country, abroad we are known for the movies that are made about drug trafficking, but this is the other side of the coin. Displaced peasants, social leaders who lose their lives defending their territories. It is very strong, but it is real and the family in many cases, is the only thing that remains. Colombia is in a process of transformation and we all hope to be able to rebuild ourselves to leave our children a better country.
I watched this movie in Colombia in a cinema full of Colombians... there was not a dry eye in the whole theater when this song and scenes played. It hit us hard.
These things still happen in Colombia. Families must often be separated forever, because armed groups continue to destroy their own country. Thanks for your reaction
It is no doubt that this song is a miracle. It's just so emotional, I cried in the first time watching this scene as well. This song did super well on that scence. Best song of the movie in my opinion,
This scene is so emotional. Hard not to get all chocked up. This movie is so full of amazing details about Colombian culture, fauna, flora... everythig. In this scene there's the yellow butterflies, a nod to _One Hundred Years of Solitude._ And the colorful river is Caño Cristales, with the reds, pinks, greens...
That part of "ay origitas no sabienten mas" as her husband died just hits so hard because I believe it translates to "little caterpillars you don't know much" as the song is talking about loosing the love of your life
I cry at this every single time without fail 😭 😢 loved ur genuine reaction. So touching. There are subtitles for this song in the movie and they will make u cry even more. Hope u watch it soon and enjoy it. Truly amazing
The second “u” is silent. Or-oo-gee-tas… Also, the lyrics are available in English on Amazon prime music. It’s under “Two Oruguitas” and it’s about two caterpillars changing into butterflies and finding their way back together; figuring out what tomorrow will bring. It’s beautiful.
11:24 The fact that you already kinda guessed one of the touching lines from "All Of You" (Encanto's finale song) which is the miracle being the family themselves all along. Not some magic. Also, so glad to see your reaction and I'm just moved every time with the song so you're not alone.
My 4 yo daughter has me sing this song to her every day she’s with me and I can never get through the whole song without choking up. As a parent this song can relate to many. It’s a very emotional song there was truly a lot of heart put into it❤
I bawl everytime I see this. The look on her face when she sees her husband die. The complete anguish. As a military wife who had to worry about that all the time, it hits my heart hard. This movie is so beautiful.
Ive just come across your channel and i must say it is so nice and beautiful to see a man show his emotions. Encanto is such a great film ive watched it way too many times but still cant get enough absolutely love this song and so emotional English version end of film defo going to watch more of you thank you for showing that actually men do cry and its ok true inspiration much love xx
“two caterpillars” for those who have seen the movie is also in English at the end of the movie during the credits: “Two Oruguitas” English lyrics Two oruguitas In love and yearning Spend every evening And morning learning To hold each other Their hunger burning To navigate a world That turns, and never stops turning Together in this world That turns, and never stops turning Two oruguitas Against the weather The wind grows colder But they’re together They hold each other No way of knowing They’re all they have for shelter And something inside them is growing They long to stay together But something inside them is growing Ay, oruguitas Don’t you hold on too tight Both of you know It’s your time to grow To fall apart, to reunite Wonders await you Just on the other side Trust they’ll be there And start to prepare The way for tomorrow Ay, oruguitas Don’t you hold on too tight Both of you know It’s your time to grow To fall apart, to reunite Wonders await you Just on the other side Trust they’ll be there Start to prepare The way for tomorrow Two oruguitas Cocooned and waiting Each in their own world Anticipating What happens after The rearranging? And so afraid of change In a world that never stops changing So let the walls come down The world will never stop changing (Never stop changing) (Never stop changing) (Never stop changing) Ay, mariposas Don’t you hold on too tight Both of you know It’s your time to go To fly apart, to reunite Wonders surround you Just let the walls come down Don’t look behind you Fly till you find Your way toward tomorrow Ay, mariposas Don’t you hold on too tight Both of you know It’s your time to go To fly apart, to reunite Wonders surround you Just let the walls come down Don’t look behind you Fly till you find Your way toward tomorrow Ay, mariposas Don’t you hold on too tight Both of you know It’s your time to go To fly apart, to reunite Wonders surround you Just let the walls come down Don’t look behind you Fly till you find Your way toward tomorrow
There are translations online, but the general gist is Two caterpillars fall in love, they get to know each other well but the world keeps changing, there's something special between them. But to grow you must let go and do your own thing so you can return. Two butterflies, apart, will be together if they keep flying into their futures.
Two oruguitas In love and yearning Spend every evening And morning learning To hold each other Their hunger burning To navigate a world That turns, and never stops turning Together in this world That turns, and never stops turning Two oruguitas Against the weather The wind grows colder But they’re together They hold each other No way of knowing They’re all they have for shelter And something inside them is growing They long to stay together But something inside them is growing Ay, oruguitas Don’t you hold on too tight Both of you know It’s your time to grow To fall apart, to reunite Wonders await you Just on the other side Trust they’ll be there And start to prepare The way for tomorrow Ay, oruguitas Don’t you hold on too tight Both of you know It’s your time to grow To fall apart, to reunite Wonders await you Just on the other side Trust they’ll be there Start to prepare The way for tomorrow Two oruguitas Cocooned and waiting Each in their own world Anticipating What happens after The rearranging? And so afraid of change In a world that never stops changing So let the walls come down The world will never stop changing (Never stop changing) (Never stop changing) (Never stop changing) Ay, mariposas Don’t you hold on too tight Both of you know It’s your time to go To fly apart, to reunite Wonders surround you Just let the walls come down Don’t look behind you Fly till you find Your way toward tomorrow Ay, mariposas Don’t you hold on too tight Both of you know It’s your time to go To fly apart, to reunite Wonders surround you Just let the walls come down Don’t look behind you Fly till you find Your way toward tomorrow Ay, mariposas Don’t you hold on too tight Both of you know It’s your time to go To fly apart, to reunite Wonders surround you Just let the walls come down Don’t look behind you Fly till you find Your way toward tomorrow
Your reaction is so genuine. Thank you... Dos Oroguitas is one which get me into tears besides All Of You. Oh, if you wanna check the meaning in English, please check on Two Oroguitas. Thank you
It is worst when you know that this was actually something that went kinda down historically, that river exist and colombian people suffered a lot….The scene where she go down and cries for the lost husband gets me every time even now
It’s a beautiful song great msg, even though you don’t understand what it’s saying you could still feel emotion through the artistry and emotions of the characters. Future reference RU-vid has the English subtitles you could turn on. But it’s good you didn’t cause you wouldn’t have enjoyed the video as much. Great reaction again
Two oruguitas (Caterpillars) In love and yearning Spend every evening And morning learning To hold each other Their hunger burning To navigate a world That turns, and never stops turning Together in this world That turns, and never stops turning Two oruguitas Against the weather The wind grows colder But they're together They hold each other No way of knowing They're all they have for shelter And something inside them is growing They long to stay together But something inside them is growing Ay, oruguitas Don't you hold on too tight Both of you know It's your time to grow To fall apart, to reunite Wonders await you Just on the other side Trust they'll be there And start to prepare The way for tomorrow Ay, oruguitas Don't you hold on too tight Both of you know It's your time to grow To fall apart, to reunite Wonders await you Just on the other side Trust they'll be there Start to prepare The way for tomorrow Two oruguitas Cocooned and waiting Each in their own world Anticipating What happens after The rearranging?

Watching this late but I really love this song. I dont understand anything he said in the song but the way he sing is so powerful it just make you cry without effort.
My nephew is addicted to this movie, and every time I watch this scene I cry! The song is beautiful, the lyrics tell the story of abuela and her husband, and Sebastian singing is just perfection. Plus I dare to say the part where abuela and Mirabel hug with the butterflies flying around them, is the most beautiful shot I’ve ever seen in a animated movie!
I feel you on this song man. I’m a native Spanish speaker and understanding the lyrics utterly crushed me the first time I listened to it. Just so you know the English version of it plays during the credits of the movie. Here is a link to Disney’s RU-vid video on it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NnuV5qoJ2GQ.html
I know very little Spanish, but I can tell the Spanish version of the song is so much better. Spanish is such a beautiful language. I think the fact that bith versions are sung by the same person really highlights the difference between the two versions.
