Just a small correction for this 2 year old video, but "La violencia" isn't about colonization, it's a period that's been used to refer to the displacement of people from rural parts of Colombia because of civil disputes / wars after the liberation of the country. It started waaaaaaaaaaay later after the colonization of native american Colombia It's started in 1920's and it ended in 1960's, the conflict shown in this movie and the source of miss Alma's trauma is the occupation of her home and displacement of her rural town by Cololmbian military factions! La violencia was not a short lived period, but it did have a "marked" ending, the reason as to why so many current day Colombians still make reference to it is because many of their relatives who lived through those times are still alive and are themselves, the matriarchs or patriarchs of their own families The conflict may have ended, but it's repercussions are still felt to this day and that extends to the issue with drug cartels which also target small rural comunities and recreate the whole scenario of vulnerable people being displaced of their homes

I can't thank you enough for making this!!! I've watched way too much of both Encanto and Steven Universe and as much as I love them both, all of these thoughts have been eating away at me as I haven't been able to structure them into anything remotely cohesive. And watching this felt like a breath of fresh air as someone took my sporadic thoughts on all these subjects to the depth they deserve without a 3 hour long tangent on the Disney parallels and their thematic implications. Knowing exactly where to leave things off to just emphasize the point. Ofcourse I got more out of this then just "things I wanted to say but well written" and this is obviously a video only you could have made. It's just rare to come across a video so good at tackling all the intricacies YOU specifically care about that by the end of it you're just overwhelmed with this feeling of being at peace that it finally exists and you just get to sit back and enjoy it forever from now on, ya know?

the fact that this video moved me to literal TEARS--and there are only 6 comments (not counting this one) and 24 thumbs up (including my own) blows my mind. brb, gotta come back and leave a COHERENT comment on here once I can organize my thoughts beyond: something-something butterflies something-something Lapis Lazuli something something Chava...'crying sounds' (b/c once I *can*, I **really** want to dig into the symbolism behind everyone's powers and how they're echoed responses to trauma and how it's passed down; like how Pepa's kids' powers (minus Antonio) are reactionary to *her* powers, not directly to Abuela's trauma, yet Mirabel's siblings' powers aren't reactionary to their mother's gift.)
