The True Miracle of Family: A Journey Beyond Gifts
The song 'Vocês' from Disney's 'Encanto' is a heartfelt exploration of family, unity, and the true meaning of miracles. Mirabel begins by emphasizing the importance of giving their home another chance and working together to mend what has been broken. She acknowledges that each family member has their unique gifts, but suggests that they need to realize that life has changed and that they are more than just their abilities. This sets the stage for a deeper understanding of what truly holds the family together.
Abuela's verse reveals her fear of letting go and her clinging to rigidity, which she believed was necessary to protect the family's miracle. However, she comes to a profound realization that the real miracle is not the magical gifts they possess, but the family members themselves. This shift in perspective is a powerful message about valuing people for who they are, rather than what they can do. The repetition of 'Só vocês' (Only you) underscores this sentiment, highlighting the intrinsic worth of each family member.
The song also features a touching moment of reconciliation with Bruno, who has been misunderstood and ostracized. His return and the family's acceptance of him signify forgiveness and the importance of embracing all members, flaws and all. The villagers' support further emphasizes community and collective effort. The song culminates in a celebration of Mirabel finding her place and recognizing her own worth. The final lines, where Mirabel sees herself and everything within her, encapsulate the journey of self-discovery and acceptance. 'Vocês' is a beautiful reminder that the true miracle lies in the love and unity of family, beyond any magical gifts.
