I agree I should have watched the movie 2 years ago, in 2017. But well, I was not very interested in watching at that period of my life, I was too obsessed with TV series then and with my search for what career should I go, I was tired and lost, struggling to get into PhD research opportunity, anyway it didn't happened, instead I went into teaching, in a College and in my High School, then did join in Teacher's training for last two years and it's about to end. Then I watched Coco today! And timing couldn't be better.
Coco is a film for dreamers and not just any dreamer, a dreamer who also love his or her family. Sometimes families don't give you the right push in your desired path.
In Coco, Miguel is a 12 year old who is born in a shoe making family, where music is banned. Music is banned because his great great grand father left his great great aunt. And all this creates a great pressure in Miguel, who wants to be like Ernesto De La Cruz, the famous singer. But things go wrong when his secret desire of being a singer is found out by the family, in his attempt to take part in the music competition, he end up in the world of dead.....
The movie is too good to be missed by anyone who loves cinema.
It's message is so beautiful, which is respecting our ancestors, remembering the dead. On every November 2nd , the day of the dead( Dia De muerotos) . It has been recognised by the the UNESCO as cultural heritage of humanity in 2008.
I absolutely love this Mexican tradition, I wish in our country, India, too people would remember their ancestors for one day. I would definitely celebrate and remember my grand father, grand mother, the great grandfather... Well I don't remember anyone before that, there is no photo or any thing to remember them by, I wish I had photos of my ancestors to remember them by....
