Why Isn't "Dream Quest" called "Ancestor General Mobilization"

1: "Looking for a Dream" name is a failure, too hard to remember. It must be called "Ancestral Mobilization".

2: Have you noticed coco's generous chin! Not at all like his father, her mother also has a small pointed chin. It's very much like the old king next door. This can somewhat explain why their family hates music so much. The lover has become a big hit, abandoning himself and his children, and the husband has gone out to make money and disappeared. Compared with these two situations, is the former more hateful? Ha ha. In addition, the reason why the old Wang next door poisoned his friend was not only to steal his song, but also to kill him. Sorry, I think too much.

3: It is said that the world has four opinions about the whereabouts of the afterlife. The first is the theory of matter. The corpse is disintegrated into atoms and scattered all around. The second is agnosticism. I don't know what happened after death. The third is the theory of reincarnation, life after life. The fourth is the theory of two generations, going to heaven after death. This story should be based on the second generation, but if no one misses the skeleton, it will disappear. After disappearing, you don't know where it went, which is a bit agnostic again.

4: The place where this movie pokes people's tears on the surface is family affection, but it is actually the fear of loneliness in people's hearts. Even if I die, I hope that the connection with others will not break and disappear. Of course, this is also related to Mexican traditional culture and ideas. 5: This movie reminds me of the book "The Man Who Finds Time". The same are the elements of juvenile, family, affection, music, and national culture. However, the geographical difference between the novel "A Man in Search of Time", which reflects Irish culture, and "A Dream of Dreams", which reflects Mexican culture, is really very big. Friends who have time can compare it.

6: Not only children are growing, but family members are also growing. For example, when the boy's ancestors gave him a blessing, the first time there was an additional condition, that is, he could not play music. The second time I hope he will be blessed by his family (I can't remember it), and the third time is an unconditional blessing. This is the kind of affection that does not ask for anything in return. But this movie is actually not suitable for children under 5 years old who are too young to watch, because they still can't distinguish reality from imagination.

7: Two failures in details. One, when the boy was overtaken by the iron gate when the boy was overtaken by the grandmother who was riding a big flower tiger, the grandmother suddenly sang, which was a bit inexplicable and reduced the surprise when the grandmother finally sang in front of the public. Second, the little boy knows that the period from when the idol poisoned his friend to being dragged away, the boy's psychological process is too brief and simple. It should be a very shocking-angry + heartbroken-scared-more angry process. The processing in the movie is a bit sloppy, basically an awkward + shaken expression.

8: There is another fallacy in this film. For good or bad, only the unremembered will disappear completely. In other words, the undead of the most sinful people hated by the world will definitely exist forever. There are bad people in the kingdom of the undead, then, that, there won't be so beautiful over there! well! I think more.

9: The rhythm of this film has always been a bit exciting. The ending after the climax is too fast, and the buffer time for the audience is very short. So the movie came to an abrupt end. When the cinema light was bright, most people hadn't come back, and they were embarrassed with tears. There was a scene where no one stood up and left in silence while the movie was over. The scene lasted for almost a minute. Just leave one after another. This phenomenon is relatively rare when the movie ends. How should I put it, from a psychological point of view, this ending is a bit cruel, it belongs to take you into the pit and then let go, not responsible for taking you out, you have to crawl out by yourself. From the perspective of effects, maybe this is what the director wants.

You are crying too~ What a coincidence~
