Can't put down a short review

The movie coco creates a world after death, but this world is not free and tolerant, full of love and goodwill; on the contrary, it inherits the hierarchy and the concept of survival of the fittest in the human world, and this evaluation standard is not what you are Such a person, but whether you are famous or whether people who knew you when you were alive remember you. The worldview set in this way is doomed that it cannot be presented in a utopian way, and its core is as desperate and sad as the real world. Under such a setting, if its starting point is caring, if it focuses on those people who have few relatives and friends but live active lives, who are unknown but worthy of respect, but are forced to die by the rules of the undead world, this story can also be Very valuable. But the truth is, it doesn't break reality or reflect on reality, it just tightens the rules and makes you adapt to it without realizing it. The protagonist's ancestor survived not because he was a good person, but because his daughter did not forget him, and the inferior eventually merged into the rules of the superior; if you only heard of your story but never met you Woolen cloth? It's useless, the friends of the ancestors disappeared into the hammock. Therefore, this story does not pay attention to personal value, but also denies the existence of historical memory in disguise, and finally becomes a carnival of clan thoughts. And it wraps these concepts in family affection and love, makes you soft-hearted, and swallows them without thinking. There are many ways to describe family love, but nailing the individual's sense of belonging and identity to the group on blood, and letting thousands of ordinary souls become lonely ghosts in order to set off you, is ultimately narrow and selfish.

    I am really a cold person. The plot has no resonance at all. The film is not bad, but it is not 9.3 points. After reading it, I felt that people without a family would have no peace in hell and were restricted by various restrictions.

    The opposite of life is not death, but forgetting. The topic of family affection is the most tear-inducing topic.
