When you cried in "Dream Travels", who did you think of?

When I was watching a movie, I patronized and cried.

He started crying since he was about to disappear, and cried till the end.

On the way home, he was crying while walking.

In fact, think about it seriously, the plot is very clichéd. In "Alice in Wonderland" and "Back to the Future", we have all seen similar adventure stories.

Some details cannot even stand up to scrutiny. For example, there must be a lot of people stealing things from the dead, why only Miguel is cursed. Another example is the song god Dracuse killed his friend, why can he not be suspected and get away with it.

But this simple and crude fairy-tale plot treatment did not prevent me from following Miguel into the rabbit hole to experience the grand and splendid death celebration of Mexico’s Day of the Dead.

The golden marigold bridge connects the real world and the world of the undead.

In the real world, bright paper-cuts are everywhere.

The beasts of various shapes-Aibo Ruiji dolls.

The typical Mexican image of a powerful matriarch who beats people in sandals, and the marigold ubiquitous behind her.

At the end of the undead world, there are indigenous pyramids and colorful aerial cities.

There is also the magical late painter Frida and her monkey animal.

On the Day of the Dead, the deceased will go back to the world in groups, drink small wines, listen to small songs, and visit relatives and friends in the world.

Although we also have a similar Zhongyuan Festival in China, due to the taboo about death, it is always inevitable to have the temperament of obscurity and desire to die.

Mexico’s Day of the Dead is just the opposite-passionate and unrestrained Mexicans do not shy away from death, and even openly celebrate death as a grand occasion.

Because death is just a transit point for them, a continuation and supplement of life.

However, there is always a but in everything.

Even in the world of fairy tales, they are divided into three, six or nine grades, noble and humble.

The dead do not stay in the undead world unconditionally.

The condition is to be remembered and worshipped by the living.

The deceased who has relatives and friends enshrined can successfully pass the customs inspection and cross the Marigold Bridge.

No, no matter how you dress in disguise or force your way to the border, you will not be able to bridge the gap between yin and yang.

The real death comes from the moment of being forgotten.

They say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time a bit later on, When somebody says your name for the one last time.

Because no one in the world remembers anymore, it no longer has the value of life, and is completely wiped out.

I realized when I saw it,

How sad it was that Hector in front of him rushed into the customs and fell on the bridge of Marigold Bridge.

Coco, the daughter of Alzheimer's, the only person in the world who remembers him, will soon forget him.

That's why he tried to pass the level over and over again, wanting to see Cocoa with his own eyes.

After that, I watched all the stories in tears.

I think all the people who cry like me, are not sympathetic or moved, but like me, who think of someone.

Thinking of the empty tomb where no one sweeps the tomb in the Qingming Winter Solstice,

I thought of the bookshelf full of Pikachu unicorn dolls, but stingyly placed the portrait in the corner of the drawer.

Although all of us will be forgotten after all,

But the memories we can keep when we are alive are the only evidence that our loved ones have survived.

The marigold bridge paved by memory, Remember me written with love.

Do your best, reconcile with yourself, and remember.

When I saw the happy ending, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this is a fairy tale.
