I'm a children's illustrator, but I'm not good at analyzing every core of a film professionally. I can only simply write about my feelings and draw the pictures that touch my heart.
If it weren't for various Amway, I wouldn't be interested in this cliché title...
The Chinese translation is so lazy. In the past, various "general mobilizations" have begun to take the "tours" route...
But after watching it, I couldn't help wiping my tears and admitting that this is really a good movie that was almost delayed by the translation.
To be honest, the first few minutes were a bit hard for me to get into
The characters are not very special, and the story also feels like a very clichéd "story of a child who has a musical dream but was stopped by his family from chasing his dream"
(And the strong perfume smell of the girl I sit next door keeps smothering me...)
Until... the little boy, the protagonist, was inadvertently opened up to the second line of Rendu on the Day of the Dead, and broke into the world of the dead, and it became interesting!
The first shot that made me "wow" in my heart was the bridge made of marigolds that connected the two worlds. In the dark night, a warm light was emitted, and the undead of different shapes were dressed up, laughing and laughing among the marigolds. Under the guidance of "going home to visit relatives"
So the most impressive picture after watching it is also the dreamy scene of stepping on glowing flower petals in the dark night.
In recent years, good animated films are very good at metaphors. Not only are children happy to watch, but adults will see more things that convey a lot of meaning, and this one is no exception. About dreams and family, about choices, about the influence of public media...
But in the end, what moved me the most was not the "music", nor the Chinese translation of "seeking dreams"
What it wanted to convey turned out to be " love ", " family affection ", and " missing "
This is a worldview based on Mexican customs. From the concept of "Day of the Dead" to all the small details, it contains a lot of Mexican customs.
But as a "foreigner", I am completely unfamiliar with these customs while watching the movie, but this does not prevent us from crying and secretly crying for tissues
Because the emotions are the same.
There will be unexpected and reasonable reversals in the ending, and there will also be tear-jerking plots. Some people say that it is "conventional", but isn't family love the most conventional but also the most inseparable thing?
And I like that it doesn't deliberately scratch my crying points, but instead, it is very considerate to switch to a happy scene once the sad plot is over.
finally
The English name of this film is actually called "COCO", which is the name of the great-grandmother who appeared in the film few times.
Before I watched it, it was confusing. After watching it, I realized that the title of "COCO" is simply the finishing touch.
The little protagonist is a little boy who loves music, and the conflict in the whole chapter also revolves around his "music dream", but the origin of this story is not "music" or "dream"
In fact, everything started because of COCO, and because COCO has a warm ending.
