Orange marigolds build bridges between people and ghosts. The living people use it to guide the undead, and even if they can't see the undead, they still believe that the deceased family members will always be by their side. The deceased souls must return to their hometowns, their homes, and their relatives on the Day of the Dead. Even if they are not seen, they must wait silently. When the gratitude and sincerity of people in reality are in the same frame as the obsession with love of the deceased, the unique touch brought by the fetters of family affection will move all audiences. After all, who doesn't have parents, grandparents, relatives, and loved ones whose names will always be remembered?
The truly eternal festival in the world must be about family and faith. "Dream of the Dead" uses the language of animation to realize the simple wishes and devout prayers of each family, and give life to the original intention of Mexico's Day of the Dead. This is a peach blossom garden about family and affection.
When the "Remember Me" song played again, you couldn't help but remember that melody, because you really want to remember and be remembered, and know the people you love and care about , and know that she is loved and cared for at the same time. In this peach blossom garden, even if there is a big conflict between relatives, it is because of love, and it is full of love. It will definitely be resolved because of the love in the bottom of my heart. The completed blessing without any additional conditions has become the inexplicable tacit understanding and perseverance side by side when the real crisis comes.
"Dream Travel" is not a musical, but it has a soft spot for music, because music is a dream. For some reason, the name of the country, Mexico, makes people feel that there will be a very regional music born there. Wandering music is very popular in Mexico. It is a Mexican national quintessence art that has been included in the world cultural heritage. Just like the song god described in the film, he performs and creates in the process of wandering, feels life with life, and expresses life with music. The little boy Miguel was born in a musical family, and he has the genes of a wandering singer in his blood. The confinement of the family cannot restrain his god-given instinct to feel life and pursue art in every cell.
Although Miguel realizes that music is not as important as his family, he ultimately uses music to save his family. Therefore, the dream can be unified with the family. This is a paradise about music and dreams.
With the help of "Dream Travel", perhaps Mexico's Day of the Dead is really going to be popular. The film can portray a skeleton that should be terrifying, and dare to express the warm ancestors and family members naked with skeletons, precisely because of the tradition of beautifying the image of skeletons on the Day of the Dead. Like pumpkins for Halloween and reindeer for Christmas, Day of the Dead skeletons are a must-have, humorous, and even joyous personification.
Isn't this the creative transformation and innovative development of traditional culture that we are striving for? "Dream Around Travel Notes" reproduces the culture of Mexico's Day of the Dead with a peach blossom-like imagination, in the name of dreams and the theme of family affection. I really want to enter such a paradise wonderland again. If you are lucky, please let me enter in real life next time.
