THIS. Dying wasn't his fault and choice but leaving her and Coco still was. Even if he changed his mind later and wanted to go home, he did that first mistake himself.
and also with the time they lived in, imelda probably had a hard time trying to make money and take care of herself and her daughter all alone. i hate it when I see a lot of people misinterpretation that scene
My great grandmother started having memory problems and was in her final days. The last scene with Coco made me openly weep in the theater. It hit so close to home in a way no movie I’ve seen has before or since. I can’t watch it too often because it literally makes me cry every time. An incredible film.
I live in Houston Texas and although I'm Scottish you pick up a lot of info about Mexican and other Hispanic cultures. I took Spanish in high school and was in the Spanish club and we got a lot of information about Hispanic culture. There are references to a lot of Mexican cultural elements in this movie, some just little visual things in the background, but three major elements are -- 1) The "Coco Loco" song was written for the movie, but "La Llorona" (the song the grandmother sings) is an old Mexican folk song. 2) Frida Kahlo was a 20th-century Mexican painter who used a lot of traditional elements in her paintings. 3) The dog is a Xoloitzcuintle (Xolo for short), a Mexican breed going back to the ancient Aztecs. They were buried with their owners to serve as guides to the afterlife.
That movie is partly responsible for my love for Mexico. I'd love to go there for Dia de los Muertos. And if there's a place that I love more than any other one on Earth (except my sweet home Lorraine), it's Scotland ! You're lucky to be Scottish. 🤩
@@gg454lunecualquiera es bienvenido a México y espero que algún día puedas presenciar el día de los muertos 🥳 y como decimos en México: mi casa es tu casa 🏡🤍
yeah totally. this is the first time i saw reactors noticed the golden tooth immediately. i myself learned about this detail from other video's comment.
This movie means so much more if you know Mexican culture. I’m white and my boyfriend is Mexican (he was born in LA so I guess that makes him Mexican American?). This movie was so enjoyable because he was able to explain those parts that normally would go over my head. Great movie!
U should look up Anthony Gonzales, the actor who plays Miguel. Two years before the movie came out, they recorded Poco Loco when he was 10, but he was 13 when he voiced Miguel
Saludos desde México...está película representa por mucho está hermosa tradición, dónde los mexicanos llevamos ofrendas a nuestros difuntos para que ellos nos visiten desde donde están...y ellos seguirán vivos mientras los estemos recordando...muchas gracias por su reacción!!
I was born on Dia de los Muertos. My mom used to grow flowers to sell to passersby on their way to the cemetery. I have skeletons all over my house but not the best birthday date to have.
They do show how the alebrijes help them, Dante was often guiding and helping Miguel, giving him tips, and Pepita was a game changer (she was the family cat in real life, we see them both playimg at the end)
The wrong gg-grandfather twist is not that hard to figure out, But the realization that Coco may never see her dad again because of the second death stipulation is a heartbreaking thought.
Have watched many reactions to this, interesting to see one where they have no clue, but awesome 😅Just fyi there is a lot behind Día de Muertos and many references in the movie, it’s not just someone’s imagination
I dont know how you dont have more subscribers... About Day of the Dead, many think its a Mexican tradition in origin but its not, the tradition of a day about the ancestors was a spanish catholic tradition from a region of spain, they even used little sweets made of sugar as well, But in mexico while the region was a viceroyalty of Spain it became a Hub of world trade, Spain had a rout to direct trade with china tru the viceroyalty, thats when the China paper decorations were integrated to the day of the dead celebration as well, and the alebrijes are actually a more modern addition to the mexican folklore.
Dante being Xolo dog like Frida said is actually accurate, you can google it. They are the Mexican breed of dog that in the culture they are in charge of guiding spirits between worlds. I loved loved loved that they added that in this movie. New sub btw ♥️
Oh cool. Never seen Coco myself except for the first 15 minutes in a class I was substitute teaching in. Glad I can watch it with you guys and react as well!
How did you know/ think right away who the actual father was?! Me it took longer than second sight of seeing him. I thought it was him when he said he actually truly worked for de la Cruz but the ending was still so suprising for me
I think I got suspicious the first time I watched this when hector said remember me was too popular. Been long time so don’t really remember when I knew he was the dad
33:29 but he still left in the first place Doesn't matter if he came back because music wasn't as fun as he thought, he still abandoned his wife and kid for fame
