"I am not afraid of death, I am only afraid of forgetting. Memories are where you and I live"

1. "Even if anyone can destroy me, they can't take away our freedom to dream"

It can't be said that "Dream Travel" is not a movie about dreams. Music-loving Miguel was born into a music-hating family, and his family broke his guitar to keep him away from music. MiG strayed into the world of the dead in order to pursue his musical dream. If he cannot get the blessing of his family before dawn, he cannot return to the world of the living, and while he promises this blessing, he must also implement all the conditions attached to this blessing by his family.

When Grandma Zeng Zeng, who hated music, added the condition of "never touch music again" to her blessing, he agreed, regretted it, and returned to the world of the dead again. He realized that if he couldn't commit to giving up music, he couldn't go back. After thinking and struggling, he said to the family: "Without music, I'm no different from dying!"

"Maybe giving up some will make life easier, but I'm no longer me."

If you give a person the freedom to dream, but deprive him of the right to pursue his dreams, of course, it is enough to make people doubt whether it is necessary to continue such a life, and it also makes people wonder whether the "love" that traps one's dreams is a good idea. thing.

The same problem of leaving and staying has also happened to my great-great-grandfather: whether to open the door and rush to create music for the world without looking back, or to stay by the side of the family who love him and his love.

Difficulties like this can happen to everyone. Seek benevolence, the values ​​written in DNA will lead you to make your own choices. Since every choice requires a price, be prepared to taste regrets and give up your attachments.

2. "I am not afraid of death, I am only afraid of forgetting. Memories are where you and I live"

I think the "view of existence" and "view of death" conveyed by the story is particularly wonderful, which is in line with my cognition.

The people set in the story, only those in the living world who enshrine the undead of the photos can cross the bridge covered with orange marigolds and reunite with their families - of course, no one remembers you, loves your place, and What is there to do?

This fits well with the saying that people die three times in their lifetime. The first is the moment of expiry, biological death. The second time is when there is a funeral, a moment when your social identity will be erased from the world. The third time is the death of the last person in the world who remembers you. This moment will be the real death, and no one will ever know that you came to this world.

Death is nothing but the end of physical life, but being forgotten is the real demise of evidence of existence and the meaning of existence.

When the shell is like smoke, what is the proof that you ever existed? The living still remember that you are living in this world in some form, living in the memory of others, between words.

So is it that the reason why we exist is to be loved, cherished, and missed?

Although we can't know where those people we loved deeply went to and what the other world is like, if we believe that as long as he is still remembered, missed, and missed by us, there is still love flowing between each other, and we still keep treasures With his memory, he is still with us, in a parallel world.

The deceased do not leave forever. They still have a loving connection with us. If we can believe this, can we be less painful and more gratified? I hope this belief can comfort some people.

3. "There will be a day when we will all become yesterday, and it is you who will accompany me through the hurried world of my life"

There are a few particularly tear-jerking moments in the movie.

Zeng Zeng's grandmother Imelda knocked Dela Cruz with high heels: "You killed the person I love the most!"

Hector was overjoyed and put aside the idea of ​​retrieving his own photos from the enemy to save his life: "What? You say I'm your favorite person?"

So much resentment, so much hatred, so much unforgivable, it is because of the hopes and demands brought by love and love, because you are my weakness. So, no matter how much I hate you and don't forgive you, I'm most afraid and least able to see you hurt.

After being thrown into the prison-like abyss by Delacroix, Miguel unexpectedly discovered that his real great-great-grandfather was not a hypocritical, evil, indifferent murderer, but Hector, who was talented in music and loved his family deeply. Kicking up the flowers: "We are a family! We are a family!! We are a family!!!"

"Deposit and building, struggle and desire, let's go." When parting from the world, fame and fortune are no longer important, the important thing is that there is no one who loves you, loves you and cares about you. At that time, the people around you were probably the people you loved and loved deeply in your life, there may be your lover who lived and died side by side, and there were children and grandchildren who were built by blood and raised by deep love (by the way, I don’t know Did Dink change his mind after watching this movie).

The thing I am most afraid of is "leaving", I am afraid of the demise or departure of love or lovers, although this is almost a certainty--"The Old Man of the Mountains and Rivers" said: "Everyone can only accompany you for a while, sooner or later. to separate."

Since we are destined to be lonely sooner or later (unless we make an appointment not to be born on the same day in the same year, but only to die on the same day in the same year), then it is good to have the family members chosen by God and the lover chosen by ourselves to warm each other and illuminate each other's memories. It is the most precious gift from fate.

If it is destined to be separated, if the memory of my lover is my final destination, then let me cherish the moments when I have you, create as much happiness and beauty as possible, and leave few regrets and regrets. If I am fortunate enough to accompany you to travel hundreds of miles, thousands of miles, thousands of miles, and then go, go again, through the surging clouds and winds, through the scorching sun and tsunamis, through wars and famines, through disasters and pain, then I will only You will feel so lucky to have you in this life.

When we are separated by life and death, we can live in each other's memory, and when we are missed by you, we can meet you again; when we are all in another world, we can continue to love each other, which is great.

I saw such a short comment: Although it is a joke, it is not a relative who said "I hope you die soon".

Then I hope that the people I love can live a long life, free from disease and pain, healthy and happy.

    Should it be called "Underworld General Mobilization"? But that sounds a bit like a Hong Kong B movie. . I couldn't help but was incited to cry by such very traditional family values. Pixar would grab the softest part of the heart. "The most important thing for a family is to be neat and tidy." In other words, this underworld is more like a place to fill the regrets of the living, everything is a continuation of the world, the memory disappears and the souls no longer exist.

    The premise of "Family comes first." should not be mutual tolerance, but mutual understanding. (PS. The entry of the dead is very absurd and humorous!!!

Coco quotes

    Tío Oscar: Real Alebrijes. Spirit creatures.

    Tía Rosita: They guide souls on their journey.

  • Frida Kahlo: [explaining her new performance piece to Miguel] Darkness - and from the darkness... a giant papaya! Dancers emerge from the papaya, and the dancers are all me! And they go to drink from the milk of their mother, who is a cactus, but, who is also me! And her milk is not milk, but tears!

    [pause]

    Frida Kahlo: Is it too obvious?

    Miguel: [unsure] I think it's... just the right amount of obvious.
