movie review part II : coco


The main reason why i was watching this movie is all because my friends recommendation,  “if you not cry when you watch the end of this movie, theres something wrong with you” they said. Im actually not the type of person who like ‘animation’ movie but they said it was a good movie and worth to spend your 50K Rupiah for watch it and you will definitely cry and well, i did it and absolutely loved it!

This  movie was about A dilemma of breaking tradition was faced by the protagonist, Miguel (voiced by Anthony Gonzalez). Who, despite was raised to hate music, wanted to pursue the life of a musician.
He then faces the criticism and judgment of his family, while constantly struggling to find a way to convince them that music is his passion, and to not join the family business.


The main character’s continuous attempt to make his family accept his passion along with the mind-blowing plot twists have made me not only love the movie, but also see how it speaks for a lot of people today.

Being a family movie, the story included a few traditions that until now are still practiced by Hispanic families. While some have adapted to globalization while maintaining certain practices, others still prefer to keep their ancestral traditions and classic customs in their lifestyle.
The story is told very beautifully, with fun, likeable characters and a moral that makes you think. It’s definitely a family driven movie, and if you love your family you’ll probably cry.
The animation is GORGEOUS; I'd say it's the best animation from Pixar yet. The movie is filled with vibrant colors, greatly complementing the Dia de los Muertos setting.
The music is wonderful. There are many “musical numbers”, however the movie really isn't a musical. The animation of characters playing the guitar is amazingly accurate, something I'm sure guitarists would appreciate.

I don’t want to spoil too much, but I think something this film succeeded at was exploring the concept of having a legacy and being remembered. The idea that you're only truly dead when the world has forgotten about you is a crushing thought… “The final death”, when the last memories of you fade into oblivion. It's quite thought-provoking and somber.
Theres so many lessons from this movie, here they are :

1.      The best way to prove a point is by doing it!
Throughout the movie miguel portrays a flat characteristic of a rebel teenager who just wants to be heard and understood. Who could blame him? Don’t we all just want to be loved for who we are?

Miguel faced many challenges in his journey for acceptance. Him moving forward despite being chased by his ignorant family is quite similar to how we move on despite being haunted by the memories of our past. Also, the way that Mama Imelda, and Pepita, her spirit guide tries to chase after Miguel symbolizes the people around us who want to stop us or misguide our path. While some may have good intentions, you’d never truly know if it’s worth it, if you don’t try.

So, the next time your parents tell you to take a college program you don’t like, better start working on a good argument.

Adults don’t really seem to understand until they see it for themselves. Reality does make an individual skeptic about life, and no child is spared from such changes in time.

2.      Family Matters! *ofcourse
There will always come a time when we will be in need of help, and there is no better group of people to help us than those who we consider and sees us too, as family.

Coco is a movie than can bring out an emotional side of a person to further realize the things that truly matter in life. But if I were to summarize everything I've learned, it would be:

“To keep on following your dreams, but do not turn your back on the people who care about you, as well as never betray the trust of your friends to achieve it”.
