This article mainly discusses the plot creation in the movie.
In the opening part of the movie, Miguel, a boy who likes music, his idol is the god of song.
The God of Song is a shining existence on the screen, appearing in the drama, appearing on the stage, his way of ending his life is to be killed by the big clock... It is very dramatic and legendary.
And MiG’s lines "I think the God of Song has some connection with me", and "the missing part of the picture" and "Skull Guitar" also brought us into the perception that "The God of Song is the great-great-grandfather of the boy". ...
Even for me, I thought these sections were too easy to guess at the beginning, and I thought the story would be the story of MiG finding the god of song and courage in the land of the dead, and then returning to reality to find his dream... I mistakenly thought "breaking the routine" "The me, but fell into the routine of the screenwriter, so the reversal in the second half made me a little surprised.
To sort out this misleading "God of Song is a great-great-grandfather" generation process:
1. The image of the god of song, with a big beard, and a sturdy body, like a cowboy in a western movie. Besides that, he can sing and is an old papa alive.
2. MiG's fascination with the god of song. When we agree that MiG is the protagonist, we will spontaneously identify the person the protagonist likes. MiG's voiceover also led the audience to misunderstandings.
3. "Great-great-grandfather", when I hear this title, I subconsciously think that he is a very old person.
4. The way for MiG to enter the land of the dead is to pluck the guitar of the god of song (in fact, it is not the guitar of the god of song), so the misunderstanding of "the god of song = great-great grandfather" is deeper.
And when the real great-great-grandfather-Hector appeared, I did not substitute him into the suspicion of the great-great-grandfather.
because of him:
1. Rough dress.
2. Do everything possible to break through the barrier, it seems to be planning something bad.
3. His age seems to be around 25-30, which is too young to meet the setting of "great-great-grandfather".
4. He did not interact with MiG's undead family members.
5. He is going to see his daughter. Combined with his age (25-30 years old), so I think his daughter's age is around 3 years old (it's too young anyway). So Hector was classified as "not a relative of MiG."
When MiG saw the song god, I thought it would be a happy ending.
But the phrase "I hope you die soon" that Geshen blurted out made me laugh, but I always felt that the laugh was weird.
When Hector fought with the god of song, the black history was also dug out, and the image of Gao Daquan collapsed in an instant.
So the reversal appeared. Hector was the real great-great-grandfather of MiG, and the person he had been looking for was right in front of him, and Hector’s works, including his life, were cruelly snatched away by the god of song...
Only then did I reflect on the details, such as "Musicians who have not returned home", "The petals were not bright when the singer picked up the petals"... It was also a pleasant surprise at that time.
In COCO, the screenwriter cleverly used routines to lead the audience into misunderstandings, and then led to the second "unexpected and reasonable" role. When we think he is impossible, he is the most suitable role. The surprise brought about by the reversal also emerged spontaneously.
