Death is a colorful tenderness

Like other Disney Pixar animations, when watching this "COCO", you can easily think of many classic animations, such as "Zombie Bride", "Flying House", "Ghost Mom", "Zootopia", etc. Wait. Small details that keep laughing, exciting chases and fights, a gorgeous world of visual feasts, and exciting singing...

It has all the good routines used in classic animations. But there is no lack of innovation, new imaginations that are breaking the sky, and philosophical propositions that everyone has thought about, what is death? Where do people go when they die? Do you remember your great-great-great-grandfather? How should we treat our deceased people?

Following the MiG and the Day of the Dead, you will discover the spiritual world of the Mexicans, their attitude towards death is so witty and beautiful, yet solemn, richly painted skulls, exquisite paper-cuts, orange marigold animations use a lot of neon Rainbow colors are used to create the world of the undead. After death, everyone turns into skeletons and still enjoys life. They dress up beautifully, sing loudly, drink happily, and dance every year.

The plot uses the choice of "dream success" or following "family warmth" as the contradiction and conflict that everyone yearns for, connecting the whole story. The little boy Miguel has gained many unexpected gains in the pursuit of his family and the struggle of his musical dreams. There are misunderstandings, conspiracies, betrayals, and insights... Isn't this everyone's life?

I like the most moving part at the end of the film. Miguel returns to the world to play and sing for Cocomama. It is exactly like my grandmother who died not long ago. She burst into tears. People better understand the meaning of memory and nostalgia.

    It was my fault that I forgot to bring a tissue to watch this movie. I cried miserably at the end. Before seeing the climax, there are still some critical thoughts in my heart. But the final climax directly purified all this. In the English original soundtrack, every time the grandma of the heroine calls "Dad", it makes my heart tremble...
