Encanto - one of the sweetest

La familia madrigal. A family full of magic helps everyone in the small village they live in. The grandmother had to run away in the past, and when everything seemed to be lost, a miracle happened - magic! Now, every member of the family receives their special magical abilities. Well, most of them…

Being different

Mirabel is the only one in her family who has no powers. So can you imagine the problem?

I see it as an inverted version of Frozen. In this case, the problematic one is the girl who doesn't have magic. The problem is not the magic. The problem is to be different.

We can not forget that this is a Disney movie, so it has life lessons for children (and not only for them). It is okay to be different because that means you can solve problems that others can't.

Also, you don't need to be perfect. You need to be happy.

Abuela

In my opinion, the most crucial lesson in the film is for adults, not children. It is related to the Abuela character.

She was so focused on the miracle of magic that she forgot about all the rest. She started seeing her family members as the magic they could perform and not as people. People with feelings, dreams, and aspirations. People that are more than the tricks they can do.

Resilience

The main character, Mirabel, learns how to survive without magic when no one else in the family does it. She is extremely resilient and brave.

Besides, she is so sweet and forgiving. Even in her saddest moments, she always has a nice word to others. And, most importantly, she never gives up.

A true Encanto

The end of the movie is magical and perfect, as usual. People help who helps them, and teamwork can do wonders with or without magic. Together they rebuild the "casita". And let me tell you, forget about Alexa or Siri. You want a "casita" of your own.

Encanto is a fantastic movie for all ages. If you didn't watch it yet, go and do it now! I'm sure you'll love it.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting. ...

Young Sheldon – A Heartfelt and Hilarious Journey

Young Sheldon is a delightful surprise, blending humor, heart, and a touch of nostalgia. As a prequel to The Big Bang Theory , the show offers insight into the childhood of Sheldon Cooper, one of the most iconic characters in modern TV. A Show That Grows Beyond Sheldon While you may start watching due to curiosity about Sheldon's early years, it soon becomes clear that this is not just about his childhood.

Mary (Sheldon's religious yet compassionate mother), George (his often misunderstood father), and his siblings, Missy and Georgie, are all given their own moments to shine. The cast and their chemistry make this show stand out. You start to care about each character's struggles and triumphs. This show quickly stands on its own as a heartfelt, family-driven sitcom.

House of the Dragon: Season 2 - a Matter of Good Characters

As a fan of the original Game of Thrones , I approached the second season of House of the Dragon with high hopes. Unfortunately, I found it a bit boring compared to its predecessor. The intricate political drama and the rich character development that made Game of Thrones a global phenomenon seem to be lacking here. Still, the show features some compelling characters who hold my interest. Daemon Targaryen Daemon Targaryen remains one of the most intriguing characters in the series. Although his arc in this season isn't as strong as before, he still commands the screen with his charisma and unpredictability. Daemon's complex personality, oscillating between villainy and heroism, keeps viewers guessing his true intentions. His relationship with Rhaenyra and his struggle for power add depth to his character. He is, no doubt, a central figure in the unfolding drama. Aemond Targaryen Aemond steps into the spotlight in the second season, bringing a new level of intensity ...
