Pretty Solid

Rating: 8/10 (23 April 2018)

I feel the movie should have shown the women with jobs. It displayed the women as housewives basically, when Latin American women have made big strides in equality. For example, "Women have made great progress towards equality with men, especially in schools, workplaces, and politics." ("Wonder Women in Land of Macho Men", 2015). This quote explains how women have earned better roles in society and in their families. They are also getting more jobs than they used to, including more influence in politics and higher power jobs. They have been given chances, and they took full advantage of them. Furthermore, "In the past quarter-century, the proportion of women in the workforce has risen more in Latin America than in any other region." ("Wonder Women and Macho Men", 2015). This quote shows that the Latin American women have made huge progress in their careers per se. I feel Coco should have shown this in the movie so it doesn't look like the men are doing all the work outside the house, and the women are stuck inside doing all the house chores. In my opinion, the Latin American women deserve the credit they aren't receiving.
