A few days ago, I happened to see a report on Mexico’s Day of the Dead on CCTV. I was attracted by it as soon as I took a look. Isn’t that the scene in “Coco”? This cartoon is simply incredible, it perfectly restores the reality!

Mexicans have different views on death. For them, Day of the Dead is not only a day to pay homage to their ancestors, but also a carnival of life.

A girl with marigolds in her hair, wearing undead makeup, strode down the streets of Mexico.

When I took my child to watch "Coco", the child once said that the skeleton in it made him a little scared. It is true that in our country, the image of skeleton is indeed taboo.

Fortunately, in cartoons, the skeletons are portrayed in a more adorable way. Soon the child accepted it and started laughing.

In real life, the skeletons on the streets of Mexico’s Day of the Dead look like this:

They are also super cute, and they all have smiles like flowers! There is also a real-life version:

Is this man in white clothes and a white hat the same as the deceptive singing god "Dracus" in "Coco"? Of course, Dracus's costume is based on this classic look that often appears on the Day of the Dead.

Look at the paper-cuttings at the beginning of the film. They are exactly the same as those hanging on the streets, except that the paper-cuttings in the cartoon show some characters in the film. In reality, they look like this:

Was there a moment of misunderstanding? The picture below is the opening paper-cut scene from "Coco".

The sacrificial offering table that appears many times in the film is surrounded by marigolds. In reality, it looks like this:

In the cartoon, it looks like this:

There was also the Day of the Dead in front of the tombs of my ancestors. For a moment, I thought I was seeing a cartoon:

Marigolds, candles, crowded crowds, and warm light, "Coco" were all perfectly restored Got it!

In addition, there is another detail. Grandma COCO’s national costume also follows the Mexican tradition.

See the pattern on her white clothes? After such a comparison, I feel that the picture on the right is what COCO looked like when she was a child!

"Coco" restores almost 90% of the scenes of Mexico's Day of the Dead. It is rare to see an animated film describe a regional festival so seriously, in which the concept of life and death is This is also the first time for many of us to come into contact with thinking. It turns out that death is not the end. As long as you "remember", it will always be there.

When I sang this song at the end, I was really moved.
