Discussion History Characters / TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess

Yeah, I got the “very long” notification.

* North American viewers may be confused by the sight of a young child drinking coffee, where in Colombia it is actually considered normal for children to drink coffee in the morning usually with milk. However, the creators admit that Juancho (the coffee kid) is coffee-obsessed even by Columbian standards.
* The amount of power Alma as the eldest Madrigal has over her family and their lives may seem odd to people who live in countries where multigenerational households aren\\\'t common, as well to those who\\\'s family is spread out by great distances. Especially so for North American viewers, where the youth of many communities are willing to distance themselves from older relatives who display toxic traits or live in communities that emphasize the concept of a found family rather than giving sole importance to blood related families.
* The idea of feeling obligated to marry for the sake of your family rather than because you love your potential significant other is far less common in North America and (some of) Western Europe than it is in other parts of the world. As a result, Isabela and Dolores\\\' respective situations regarding Mariano can seem particularly absurd and even like the plot of a soap opera for these people.
* The fact that Dolores shows very little initiative in actually pursuing Mariano (she waits until Mirabel takes a moment to introduce the two) can be confusing to North American viewers, as it\\\'s become more socially acceptable for women to be the pursuer in the last few decades.
* The whole concept of a \\\"proposal dinner,\\\" such as the one that drives the movie\\\'s second act, can seem pretty odd to cultures where marriage proposals are a mostly private affair between the bride-and-groom-to-be, and where the exact moment of \\\"popping the question\\\" is usually expected to be a surprise. An entire dinner involving the entire family, who all know beforehand that a marriage proposal will be performed (and presumably accepted) flies in the face of all those cultural norms, which are common in Western European and Anglophone cultures.

There are entries of ValuesDissonance in the YMMV but given the movie takes place in probably the 20th century, in Columbia, the movie\\\'s team of writers had to get consultants and travel to Colombia to make sure the movie will be as accurate as possible according to the Behind the Scene videos, and it\\\'s obvious not everyone are supposed to agree with them, I\\\'m pretty sure they would count as DeliberateValuesDissonance,
