So far the best international project in which they represent Mexican culture.

Rating: 9/10 (17 November 2017)

The Day of the Dead is the traditional celebration in which Mexicans honor the deceased and is of Mesoamerican origin. There is an infinity of international projects that have tried to portray the Mexican culture, but in one way or another have failed miserably (some more than others), getting to see some in which we are represented even in a ridiculous and offensive . I must confess my fear that "Coco" would be part of this list, so I initially rejected the idea of ​​wasting money on the ticket; but once the fear has been overcome, I have been surprised to see that from the intro of Disney, to the credits, the Mexican culture is present. I do not know if by the controversy in which he was involved or by the collaboration of Lalo Alcaraz, but the magnificent work to which Pixar has accustomed us, was pleasantly surpassed, portraying in great detail not only the mysticism that surrounds the festivity, but also other elements that are truly part of our culture (family coexistence, music, costumes, beliefs, characters, etc.). The story of a Mexican boy named Miguel who wants to be like his musical idol (Ernesto de la Cruz) even against his family, takes him to meet Hector, who becomes his companion in adventures and with whom both Miguel and us We recognize many famous people, we discover the importance of the family and the values ​​that identify us as people and as a nation. Although in general terms the film is worthy of being recommended for the whole family, I must clarify that some situations and ideas represented are not characteristic of that festival or have been incorporated in recent years and that the personality of some famous people has been significantly altered (I suppose with the purpose of giving a touch of comedy to the story), which is why I find it painful not to give an absolute 10. Now I understand when they qualified me with 9.9 and they told me that my work was for a 10 if not for a tiny detail, but in case the creators of Pixar read this review I will compensate them by telling our followers that if they have not gone to see it, Run to your favorite cinema! If they are Mexican they will be happy to see how they dignify our culture after so many grievances and if they are not Mexican, but want to know and understand Mexico (especially the Day of the Dead tradition) it is the most fun way to do it.
