My favourite movie of all time!!!

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2018)

Coco, for me, is the masterpiece of Pixar's masterpieces, as well as being, personally, my favorite movie of all time (and probably will remain forever, except surprises... It's something that had never happened to me before, in no movie, whether it's animation (which I love to madness), or not). Initially, seeing the trailers, I didn't think that I would have liked it so much (I thought that yes, I would have definitely liked it (if we talk about Disney and Pixar, then, it's more than certain), but not so markedly), and I didn't think it could be so tragic, deep, hard, sweet, joyful and delicate at the same time... it's a movie that bewitches you, literally. Takes so many topics in depth, that Coco is really a movie with many levels of reading, which has so many meanings, so many moral, so many emotions, in short, has a very complex plot (although it may not seem, especially at the beginning, then), and this made me appreciate it even more. Also, I think it's the movie that, more than any other, embodies both the Disney and Pixar soul, in a simply perfect marriage, and I love all that... and for this reason, for me, Coco is Pixar's most interesting, flowing and engaging movie. It's wonderful then, beyond all this, how the Mexican culture, and specifically, the "Dia de Los Muertos", has been represented, respected and honored in this movie... really, you can see and hear how much love they made for this movie, how much they put on theirs to respect this beautiful party... they did it so well, that now I'm much more curious about Mexican culture than I was before. Coco is a movie that makes you think, also, and after every vision of the movie, it makes you think long... well, this movie is a rich experience, a journey, this is more than safe. Then it's useless to say of the graphics, the colors, the settings, the atmospheres (I love it's so dark and psychedelic, but at the same time, joyous), the animations, the design... are nothing short of exceptional. And music, oh music is something positively impressive! The soundtrack is creepy and all the songs, in addition to remain in your head for a long, long time (even just for their beautiful music and for being very Mexican), have various very beautiful meanings, and various levels of reading, depending on the context and/or use of the instrumental part of the song itself, particularly "Remember Me", is a monstrous song, perfectly embodies the main messages that wants to send the movie, in addition to be very poignant... I also love so much "Proud Corazón", wow, really beautiful... It's perfectly visible that the music is the basis of the story. And I haven't said anything of the characters yet... the characters are perfectly characterized, have a lot of facets and are very credible, not to mention Héctor, which is nothing short of amazing for me! (Not for nothing, he became my favorite movie character of all time, and besides, I love his story and his character)... but also Miguel, Imelda, Coco and Ernesto are great characters, no doubt (I also love Dante, Pepita and Abuelita, however). I also appreciate how, in this movie (but Pixar is more than good in this, even though here, for me, has reached its climax), just a dialogue of a minute or just a scene can give importance to a thing or a character that before had little, if any, relevance... wow really, I am speechless. All this movie is "speechless"... the way it enters you, in the heart and soul, being both delicate and overbearing, is something I had never seen in another movie, and, of course, I really appreciate it all that. Coco is a movie where EVERYONE can identify and relate with someone and/or something, and this does nothing but increase its value even more... it's, moreover, the most moving and profound movie I've ever seen (I cried at least 75% of it)... deals with themes like life, death, life beyond death, memory, forgiveness, love, family, oblivion, the power of music, heritage, traditions, dreams, friendship (but also many many others), in a truly impeccable and enviable way. I find it to be a perfect movie, an example of how a movie should be created. For all this, I really think it's an AWESOME movie and is a MASTERPIECE with a capital M, and I'm shocked that it wasn't AT LEAST nominated for "Best Picture"... I'm sorry, for me is an unacceptable thing. But I'm super happy that he won at least in his two nominations, because he deserved fully, by a landslide. And nothing, for those who haven't yet seen it, do it as soon as possible, otherwise you don't know what you're missing! It's a movie for everyone, it has so much joy, love and truth in itself, so look at it, and surely, like me, after the vision, you'll feel better, I'm sure.
