Music had torn her family apart, but shoes held them all together. Then she taught her daughter to make shoes. She could have made candies, or fireworks, or sparkly underwear for wrestlers! But no, she chose shoes. She rolled up her sleeves and she learned to make shoes. And the mamá? She didn't have time to yell over that walkaway musician! After banishing all music from her life, she found a way to provide for her daughter. And one day, he left with his guitar and never returned. He and his family would sing and dance, and count their blessings… but he also had a dream. See, a long time ago there was this family - the papá, he was a musician. And when he plans to go to the talent show, he said he'd go there "if it KILLS me.Dialogue Miguel: Sometimes I think I'm cursed, 'cause of something that happened before I was even born. More foreshadowing things though: The movie starts out with Miguel claiming to be cursed, har-har. I personally wanted to believe de la Cruz was innocent right up until he actually betrayed Miguel, so yeah, that also threw me for a loop. The murder stuff took us all by surprise (despite the foreshadowing when Miguel and de la Cruz quote that poison scene together-neither of us really noticed that). We had a few whispered debates on whether de la Cruz could potentially be justified in his actions.ĭuring the party scene, my sibling leaned over and told me, "I had my doubts but he seems to be a good guy." I said, "Yeah, but he's still around an audience" and she went "OOOOOH" The big lead-up and the fact that he's a celebrity seemed to be building towards a letdown where he turns out to be a jerk. Meeting Ernesto, we were both surprised that he was such a personable guy. I thought the body type in the photo was wrong, de la Cruz seemed to fit the role more, etc. Meeting Héctor, my sibling said she thought HE was the one in the portrait. ![]() Of course, when Ismelda's offering her blessing, we know everything isn't going to be resolved that quickly. (We both drew immediate parallels to Rise of the Guardians.) But hearing my sibling audibly gasp in that scene when the graveyard supervisor guy walks through him? Priceless. I expected Miguel to wind up in the land of the dead at some point, ala Book of Life, so I picked up on some of those hints. We cried to TWO reprises.)ĭe la Cruz being initially "discovered" to be Miguel's relative wasn't too surprising. ![]() Like for the first time we hear "Remember Me," I leaned over and told me sib "We're gonna cry to a reprise of this song later." (I was wrong. We were in a nearly empty theater so we whispered to each other our reactions. My sibling only knew that it was a Pixar movie and kinda wasn't interested until I took her to see it, so she went in even blinder than I did. (For me and my sibling when we watched, anyway.) We hadn't seen any trailers-I only knew that a) it was similar to Book of Life b) the director of BoL recommended it and c) it's supposed to make you cry. Part of the reason I love the movie's writing is because we were partly able to predict what would happen, but it always threw us for a loop. Coco is absolutely not one of them.Īpologies if this comes across as pretentious or too English-classy. There are some movies that are like knowing how sausage is made: The more you know about how to construct a story, the more you see the mistakes and moments where the writers cut corners. I cannot stop admiring this movie on every level. ![]()
