Watching a movie is an excellent way to relax and satisfy the desire for fun on holiday especially one has a high reward. As a consequence, Coco becomes a perfect choice. There are many pieces of trailers before the real film to appeal more audience to enter the movie theater to watch them. Suprisely, as the Christmas Day is coming, a shot celebrating animation Frozen was shown as a prize for all audiences.
节假日及周末到来的时候,心情总会变得浮躁起来,再加上大冷的天,没什么比去看一场电影更合适打发这样的周末了。最近名声鹊起的《寻梦环游记》无疑成为最佳选择。进电影院前先去了一趟超市,虽然进入电影院的时候比开场的时间晚,但完全没有影响到看电影,因为正式影片放映前还有很长的几段广告以及未来一段时间会上映的电影的预告片。意外的是:正片之前竟然还放了一部小电影《冰雪奇缘》,应该算是圣诞特供版吧,我以为《寻梦环游记》是《冰雪奇缘》的续呢。(不预习的锅自能自己背つ﹏⊂)

在这里顺便提一下皮克斯动画工作室,其前身是卢卡斯影业于1979年成立的的计算机动画部。1986年,乔帮主收购了卢卡斯的计算机动画部,成立了皮克斯动画工作室。2006年,皮克斯被迪士尼以74亿美元收购,成为华特迪士尼公司的一部分,乔帮主也因此成为迪士尼的最大个人股东。---来自维基百科
Without comprehending about this movie, I thought it had relation to Chinese culture, when the film started, spreading with paper cutting. Actually, the concept of this animation based on Mexican holiday of Day of the Dead. And subsequently, the plot goes along by introducing the background of the family in which includes family business --- shoemaking, family members, Coco's parent's story, and the reason why music is not favorite even forbidden in this family.
也是因为没有提前了解一下,电影刚开始用剪纸的形式做为铺垫讲述了Coco父母的事。看着这些生动的剪纸,以为该故事是以中国文化为背景的,其实是以墨西哥的亡灵节为背景展开的故事。背景中介绍了Miguel的家庭成员,家族事业以及音乐在他家被禁止的原因。
When one's ambition is not supported by his families, he has to find an exoteric help. Unexpectedly, Miguel entranced ghosts' world and met his dead relatives. Even though it might be a little horrific when you saw human skeletons at the first scene, you would feel these guys were so sweet and also liked them.
当一个人的梦想不被家人所支持,自己又无能为力的时候,他急需的外界的援手。不同以往的是Miguel遇到的帮手不是外人,而是他已故的亲人们。在他第一次进入到亡灵的世界时,胆小的我误以为这是一部恐怖动画片,内心在纠结这这怎么继续往下看。但看下来这些亡灵不仅一点不恐怖,反倒让人觉得很温暖,他们也有朋友,有亲人,有节日,有人间一样的世间冷暖。相信看过这部电影后,会有不少的朋友,甚至胆小的朋友,从此转变了对一些骷髅类的东西的反感,而变得喜欢起他们来。
Everyone may speculate that Héctor was Miguel's great-great-grandfather, I included. Thus I think the plot would be pushed forth by the old man helping his great-great-grandson to fulfill his dream and helping himself to emerge in the photo. What a reasonable and insipid story. Whereas when it came to Ernesto, interrogative and indignant feel coming; when heard Imelda's song, I was touched: she did not hate music at all, just did not want to mention her grief; when the danger of being forgotten and disappearance happening to Héctor, my tears could not be held anymore.
当Miguel碰到Héctor后,大部分观众应该都会推测,这个落魄的男人应该就是Miguel要找的great-great-grandfather,我也不例外。并且脑子里已经顺理成章的想到:嗯,这个人就是要找的祖师爷了,可以助你成为新一任的吉他明星了。所以后面的情节也就是梦想成真,抱得吉他归喽,没什么值得感动的。然而,当Ernesto出来的时候,我是带着疑惑的;当Imelda没有追上Miguel而在楼道中唱歌的时候,我是被感动的了,她并不是不喜欢音乐,只是不想提起曾经的往事,不想相信丈夫因为音乐就这样舍弃了她和女儿;当我看到Héctor因为就要被世人忘记而变得脆弱时,眼泪再也止不住了。
As the old saying goes, there are three times of death: the first time is when your heartbeat stops, which is a death of medical; the second time is when people who know you attend your funeral, which means you with your status die in the social level; the third time is when there is no one remember you, which is the real death for you.
人这辈子一共会死三次。第一次是你的心脏停止跳动,那么从生物的角度来说,你死了;第二次是在葬礼上,认识你的人都来祭奠,那么你在社会上的地位就死了;第三次是在最后一个记得你的人死后,那你就真的死了。
If you have no one to remember in your heart, you are so fortunate.
If you have one or more people who live in your heart, you are happy as well.
Your life is happy now and will continue, please.
如果还没有一个已故的人需要你去记住,那么你是幸福的;如果已有人会永远活在你的心中,那么你也是幸福的。请一直幸福的生活下去。
