Today, I watched "Dream Travel" with my family. I naturally remembered that this film that I had watched several times in high school was also full of Mexican elements, so I found it again. I have never been willing to watch the same work again and again. I almost watched it again, and I thought that this movie was not inferior to "Dream" except for the screen modeling. The soundtrack in this movie can be described as amazing. It is singing with life, making people deeply immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves. These soul-shattering songs directly teach people to marvel "I can't help falling love with it", And music is also a very important part of Mexican culture. If you don't agree with one word, you will sing. This is also true in the pursuit of dreams.

It is worth noting that both films show the importance of family in Mexican culture. The place remembered in the film is like paradise, not only because of its colorful and beautiful colors, but also because of the reunion of deceased relatives. The real reunion, this kind of picture is warm and happy, and then there is the shock and emotion of the matador's family appearing together. In the two films, it is with the help of the deceased relatives that the protagonist achieves a complete harvest. These show the Mexican family concept. There is also the calm attitude of Mexican culture towards life and death. They believe in the existence of the undead world, and have the courage and optimism to face death. In the setting of animation, the real death is forgotten, just like the famous Mexican writer and Nobel Prize for literature. The winner Octavio Paz said: "Death shows the highest meaning of life; it is the opposite of life, and it is also the supplement of life." Peng Erge is calm, but I have to admit that compared with Mexican culture, we who are "passing on the road want to break their souls" have more heaviness and sorrow for death, and less optimism and relief, which is exactly what makes people move. The place.

On the emotional line, following the idea of ​​​​danmaku, I found a new way to open it? It seems that the victory of the girl who gave gifts when I was young, showed love in a bullfight, and impressed girls with music was inevitable. Favored, protected by medals, becoming an invincible existence, an unshakable hero in the entire town, but doomed to fail because of that false self-confidence that leads to arrogance, vanity, and a straight man who no longer respects others, but I want to really let Mano What Luo won Maria's heart was his gentleness and kindness that he didn't want to kill a cow, his perseverance willing to cling to his dreams and love, and his understanding of the girl's heart that knew how to love. The characterization of this film is also excellent. The girl has both talent and beauty, and the details show aristocratic temperament. The most important thing is her independent spirit and fearless courage, which inspires everyone to fight together. One thinks of "Liberty Leading the People," a perfect image with suffocating charm. Manolo's persistent dreams, warmth and purity, and deep love, Joaquin's unyielding bravery was lost in arrogance and ignorance because of the so-called medals, and all the members of the Thatches family were flesh and blood. People are amazed.

And I think the most important thing conveyed in the film is the interpretation of courage and dreams, Manolo's courage to sacrifice his life for the beloved girl, and finally willing to save everyone with his own body, Manolo's father single-handedly Courage, Maria's courage to fight to the death, and the phrase "No retreat no surrender" that runs through the film (never retreat, never surrender), and that fearlessness and courage are not the real magic weapon for victory over a strong enemy ? The medal made Joaquin an invincible setting, but this false self-confidence made him arrogant and vain. This is not courage, but fearlessness. The medal that is known to bring courage sucks his courage and makes him live in the shadows. , his fear of fleeing desperately at the wedding to get the medal back exposed his cowardice due to his over-reliance on the medal. In the end, he chose to walk out of the shadows and be a real hero. Your own courage has achieved growth. Courage is acquired by oneself, and isn’t the world’s things truly belong to oneself only when one acquires it by oneself? When achievements are made by oneself step by step and won by one's own hands, one will have unique confidence and confidence, knowing that one can challenge fate without relying on so-called luck. In terms of dreams, Manolo has always been firm in his musical dreams and kindness, and Joaquin's over-reliance on medals but not relying on his own courage and strength to fight is a betrayal of his dreams.

The buoyant optimism that permeates the whole piece is truly fascinating. At the end of the film, the God of Remembrance said to us that "people die, but these children will have the courage to live wonderfully", and our response should be the sentence "Hey, it's time to write your own story"! May you and I live wonderfully and happily!
