Alberto devises a way to try and silence these internal doubts by commanding Luca to shout “silenzio, Bruno!” visualising the internalised voice of self-hatred as a man trying to repress their dreams, yet the disembodied voice, even when named evokes horror.
This is when Alberto tells him, "Silenzio, Bruno." Meaning Behind "Silenzio, Bruno" This phrase is meant to silence your own inner naysayer and support you to make the decision that makes your heart happy.
Bruno in Luca is Alberto's estranged (and possibly late) absentee father, with whom Alberto is angry for leaving him. Bruno in Encanto is Mirabel's uncle, a hermit with clairvoyant powers who provides much of the comic relief of the film.
Alberto's last name is Italian for "redfish". His dad, who abandoned him, is theorized to be named Bruno because of the fact he dislikes that name and names the voice that keeps him from doing things inside his head Bruno.
The character of Bruno had already evolved during the film's creation. In an early iteration, he was much younger, someone Mirabel's age. He was also originally named Oscar, but Bush said a legal snag over the existence of a number of real-life Oscar Madrigals in Colombia, led them to explore other name options.
From the Italian word for brown, Bruno was often used as a nickname for a person with brown hair, skin, or clothes. From the German brun, meaning "dark" or "brown." It may also be a habitational surname for individuals who lived in or near a place named Bruno, such as the city of Bruno in Italy's Piedmont region.
While the creators of Encanto chose the name Bruno for stylistic purposes, Luca's writers picked the name at random. For Encanto, the movie's creators had a specific reason to select the name, Bruno. Originally, Bruno's character was supposed to be named Oscar.
Although he is described as a monstrous and sadistic person, Bruno is actually a quiet, shy, and kind man who easily becomes nervous and suffers from anxiety, like his sister, Pepa. Bruno is introduced in the film as insecure and avoidant, and believes others' accusations that his gift only brings problems.
What Happened To Bruno In Encanto? Bruno disappears in Encanto because his ability to see the future upsets everyone around him and he doesn't want that to be the case. Mirabel realizes that Bruno has been hiding in the walls of the house with rats and that he didn't run away from home after all.
Unfortunately, none of the tangible romantic chemistry between Luca and Alberto was ever made official in the film, and Casarosa is now talking about why that was, even though making the characters gay was reportedly a possibility.
His dad left after deciding that Alberto was old enough to take care of himself, and Alberto knows that he's probably never coming back. All of this explains why Alberto gravitated to Luca. He needed a place to belong because, although he tries to hide it, he knows that he is abandoned and alone.
What was likely a hilarious coincidence has now got fans believing Disney has an anti-Bruno agenda. Both characters represent negative emotions like fear, doubt, and insecurity, but without Bruno, the problems plaguing the characters in both "Luca" and "Encanto" wouldn't have been solved.
Once the friends enter Portorosso and befriend Giulia, our impression of Alberto deteriorates. He grows jealous of Luca's new friendship, and it shows. He becomes dismissive and unfriendly.
And if that's not coincidental enough, if you look at Hercules, Bruno is there again, warning everybody about the end. He literally saw the world ending.
It's unclear whether Alberto's dad went back to the ocean or stayed on the land, but based on the number of tally marks Alberto made before he stopped counting, he's been on his own for several years. This reveal explains why Alberto is so jealous of Luca's friendship with Giulia.
Papà is based on director Enrico Casarosa's father. In the 2021 Disney•Pixar film, Luca, the character of Massimo Marcovaldo has a striking resemblance to Papà. Both, La Luna and Luca are directed by Enrico Casarosa.
