Some people want to know, for audiences who are not familiar with foreign cultures, especially Mexican cultural festivals, whether there is a cultural gap in this work, and whether there will be problems of acclimatization after its release in China. I am very relieved to tell you that the strong Mexican cultural atmosphere of the film did not cause any obstacles to the audience's understanding of the story. Mexican families gather on the Day of the Dead to offer prayers to those who have passed away. And [Pixar] has grasped this very well, emphasizing the value of family affection, and creating a wonderful and beautiful world of the dead.
It is precisely because this is a story about Mexico's Day of the Dead that the film naturally has elements such as "ghosts" and "skeletons". I think that many viewers may be intimidated by just seeing these words and dare not bring their families into the cinema. However, the images of "skeletons" presented in this film are not as fantastical and terrifying as people traditionally understand. On the contrary, the performance of these characters is even more humane than living people, bringing a lot of humorous, warm and touching bridges. part. [Pixar] definitely put a lot of thought into thinking about how to satisfy the audience of all age groups when creating, otherwise the audience in Mexico would not drag their families to support (the film was released in 17 days and accumulated a total of 780 million Mexican pesos, It has become the runner-up in the box office of Mexican film history, and will soon surpass the 820 million Mexican pesos of "The Avengers" to win the box office champion of film history).
By the way, something outside of the movie. The [Disney] babies told me that they were not very optimistic about the censorship of the film at first because of the subject matter. In the end, not only did the film pass the review smoothly, but it was also released at the same time in a situation where the number of accounts was tight (this year, the number of accounts has exceeded 34), and they were very surprised and happy. I heard that because the leaders of the censorship felt that they didn't want it after watching the film, they arranged for Coco to be released this year. .
