Coco Review
Coco is a great movie to watch. It was very funny and family friendly. It talks about one of the major holidays in the Hispanic culture being Dia de los Muertos. It is a huge holiday and has so much that is needed to be correct in order to actually represent the holiday. For example the food that they typically would have for the holiday are the favorite foods of the passed. They do a great job recognizing this in the movie. They say they will have certain foods based on the people. Also they do a great job talking about music. In Mexico there is music everywhere. People go and listen to music in the park and on the streets. And that is very well represented in the movie with the talent show that happens. Everyone is very excited about the show and a lot of people are signing up. It's a great example of how they treat music. The thing that the movie Coco does best is talk about the family dynamics. The main thing that they try to show in the movie is how the family comes first no matter what. If the family does not like something then the entire family is to not like it. They start as a family and end as a family. Also much of the family lives together under the same roof. So it can get crammed but that is the culture of it. But most importantly it shows that the oldest in the house is the boss. Weather it is a male or female they rule the house.(Junior Worldmark Encyclopedia)
Overall though the movie gets a solid 8 out of 10. The reasoning behind that score is because of how much the movie also missed.The country of Mexico has some incorrect facts about it. It doesn't show 100% the correct things about the country. For example the way people travel in Mexico is just like here in America, Cars (Mexico Cities of the World). It shows the people walk everywhere to get places. There are barely any cars in the movie. It just lacks the small details of the culture and lifestyle about Mexico. But Overall it is a great movie and has an awesome message to it. I would recommend you go check it out.
