Dreaming Travels, produced by Pixar. I don't know why the Chinese is translated into this name, the English movie name is Coco.
Coco, it's not a magic spell that opens up mysterious new worlds. Coco, it's just an ordinary person's name, and it doesn't even belong to the protagonist. She is the great-grandmother of the little boy Miguel, and the grandmother of a little dementia in a wheelchair.
At the beginning, there was no connection between them, and I even thought it was just a story of a young boy chasing his dream of music despite his family's opposition. We didn't realize it until he strayed into the magnificent world of the dead on the Day of the Dead and the story began to turn.
In that world of the dead, only photos are enshrined in the world of the living, so that the dead can return to the world on the Day of the Dead to visit their relatives in the world. The dead Hector always wanted to return to the world on the Day of the Dead to see his beloved daughter, but no one enshrined his photo, and his wish could not be realized.
He met MiG and exchanged terms with him. He helped him find his musician idol, who he thought was his great-great-grandfather. And he had to take his picture back to the world to enshrine it, so that he could go back to see his daughter on the Day of the Dead.
The plot is easy to guess, but Pixar has such a feeling that still makes you deeply moved.
That's right, Hector was Coco's father, the great-great-grandfather that MiG was really looking for. He was murdered, the hometown he couldn't go back to, and the family he couldn't see was misunderstood as he didn't want to go home and see him. Therefore, in the photos enshrined by the MiG family, his head was torn off.
A dead person will live in another world, and when he is forgotten by those who live in this world, he will die again and truly die. Hector felt that he was almost forgotten. In this world, only his daughter still remembers him, but she seems to be slowly forgetting. He said he even kinda wished she died so they could meet in the undead world. But no, if she died, no one would remember him. The moment she came, he left and he never saw her again, his beloved little daughter Coco.
But in the end, Miguel lost the photo of Hector. When he returned to the world, his great-grandmother Coco was already in a drowsy state and seemed to be dying. Until Miguel played Hector's guitar and sang remember me, which was a song written by Hector for his daughter Coco. The great grandmother woke up miraculously, and smiled and hummed, saying that Dad and Dad used to sing this song to me before I went to bed. When she said this, she still had the look of a little girl. I also have a picture of my dad. She took out the diary in the drawer tremblingly, and in it was the corner of the photo torn by her mother, her father Hector. When I hear the sadness of the guitar, I am with you, the only proof. The power of memory keeps the dead alive, and I almost burst into tears at the same time as Coco in the movie.
A year later on the Day of the Dead, Coco's photo was also enshrined. In the world of the dead, the family of three held hands and happily returned to the world to visit their relatives. When we die, the human soul will continue to reincarnate, no matter what it becomes, we have the opportunity to be reunited with the loved ones we love most. If so, death seems less scary, even a little warmer, because we will meet again eventually.
Probably the power of Pixar is here. In the eyes of children, it beautifully shows the world and the laws of nature. As adults, we participate in life in this simple and illusory animation. Some seem to be gone forever, but as long as we remember, he will continue to be with us in another way. He lives in my heart.
Cold winter, heartwarming story. Nothing is more important than family, just do it and cherish it.
Remember me too before the memory of love fades away.
