I don’t know if this is old news already, but I saw someone on twitter pointing out that in this scene
it looks like Dolores knocks against the wall to signal Bruno that dinner is ready, and it could be true?
When she puts the plates down, she seems to look around as if to make sure the others aren’t paying attention to her (unlike her family, who just happily sings along).
Then she whirls around and seemingly knocks on the wall, only to lower her hand inconspicuously close to her body.
It might be a reach but it would be really, really sweet if she is actually doing this for Bruno, so I want to believe it was intentional 🙂
small cultural & Colombia/Latin related details from Encanto 🇨🇴 (part 2)
Julieta using her fingers instead of a spatula to flip the food (also the arepas 🫓)
men in the village playing Tejo – national sport of Colombia (also the Colombian flag on the boards)
the small windmills in Mirabel’s basket are of the color of Colombian flag
so are the umbrellas
las palenqueras – dresses that Dolores wears, typical for Afro-Colombian women especially in Cartagena
silletas – the things that those men carry on their back (no idea how to explain it in English)
Puente de Boyacá (the Bridge of Boyacá located at the Bogotá-Tunja highway)
note: I understand that some of those things may be also common in other cultures but please avoid commenting things like this. Now we are focusing on the Colombian aspects of this movie
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? Encanto (2021)
