    She wasn’t blaming Hector for getting murdered. She was blaming him for leaving in the first place. She said “you left me alone with a child to raise”
    You have to keep in mind that especially in that time period when she was alive women stayed home to raise the kids. When Hector left she needed to find a way to make money and taught herself to make shoes.

      Exactly! Thank you! This was a time in Mexico when women weren't allowed to work outside their home so the likelihood of them STARVING TO DEATH because he left, was actually quite high. The miracle is that they managed. He should have never left in the first place. He got homesick and what if he came back to both of them dead? The fact that he got murdered because of his dumb decision is just his bad luck🤷🏻‍♀️

      Exactly. And even without the historical context, leaving your wife and kid is ROUGH. Being a single mom is hard, and so is growing up without a father. Yeah, he tried to go home because he got homesick, but it seems to me like that wasn't originally the plan. He left his family to chase his dream. Yes, he regretted it and tried to make it right, but both intentions and effects matter when it comes to the choices you make. Do I think what Hector did was unforgivable? No. But I DO think that Imelda is totally valid in her anger and not wanting to forgive him right away. And frankly, it was still pretty big of her to still agree to help him even tho she's angry.

    I think the idea that the dead are forgotten after a generation is common, and while morbid, is most often what happens in real life in the Western world. In the Western world, cemeteries are painful, mournful, and morbid places most would rather avoid. In most of the West, the dead in the cemeteries may only be visited occasionally for a generation, after which they are rarely visited ever again.
    The idea of remembering and celebrating the dead in the cemeteries with their pictures, their favorite foods, and music is the traditional Mexican view of death. In Mexican culture, death is not as frightening and morbid a thing. It is a part of life. It is made fun of. It is mocked. It is also respected. It is not a taboo subject. Being afraid of death is how the dead are forgotten and how they truly die. Embracing death and celebrating the lives of the dead, in the cemeteries as well as at home, is how the dead are remembered with joy and remain an integral part of the family.

    24:21 - also the fact that Hector himself never knew that his death wasn’t accidental. As for Imelda, the issue from her point of view is that he still made that initial decision to walk out the door, in the first place. Yes, he changed his mind and was coming back, yes he was murdered, but that cannot immediately erase decades of pain and abandonment, struggling to raise a child and run a family business alone.

      @@Kwondhe is this actually canon or do YOU believe they’re right? If it’s canon, I’ll concede, of course, but if not, I’ll naturally disagree.
      And honestly, considering that’s only a cameo and they’re not main characters, I think it makes perfect sense they’re not shown as they died. They’re cameos. No one would immediately recognize them or recognize them at all if they showed them as an old person and not at their peak of fame. I know I wouldn’t have realized Frida was Frida if she were shown as an old woman since I’m not really familiar with her. What about the little girl who was crossing the bridge with her mother? Let’s say she’s visiting her father but she died at 45 and the mother at 60? Why would the father remember them as a little girl and a young woman and not as they died?
      There’s no proof that coco is the defining factor of how Hector looked or Imelda. After all, Imelda is remembered and shown as a younger woman by the rest of her family. What if hundreds of thousands of people remembered De La Cruz as a younger man but he’s only shown as he died? Why would the older version of him take priority? People remember others differently and can do so at different ages.
      lol personally, that’s why I think there are too many conflicting factors for being remembered as the people in the living want to remember them for it to be true. Them looking the age they died seems more logical, straightforward, and less unnecessarily complicated.

    25:09 It took me a few rewatches and some thinking about this point because it always sounded weird that she would still blame him even after finding out he had been killed, but hear me out.
    From the previous Imelda scene with Miguel, we discover that Imelda and Hector used to perform together, that is... until Coco was born. At that point, Imelda was forced to stay home to take care of her and had to give up her passion for music. On the other hand, Hector left on tour with Ernesto.
    See how Hector tells it to Ernesto in the big reveal scene? "We had been on the road for months. I got homesick."
    So she's referring to him leaving in the first place and leaving her with a child to raise on her own (even if the plan was for him to return... it still meant that she would be alone for a very long time).
    The fact that he got murdered and never even got to come back home just sealed the great tragedy and cemented her belief that he had just chosen the "good life".

    • @thecocoacouch
      @thecocoacouch  10 месяцев назад +13

      Yeah true. Regardless of the death, what he did was still wrong, but didn’t deserve rejection for eternity hey.

      @@thecocoacouch Yeah, that makes sense! I think once she finds out why he never came home, that deeply seated hatred inside her evaporated. Yes, she was mad (for him leaving on tour), but that's a forgivable mad and not an eternity grudge.
      Also... I think deep down she misses him, and once the reason for hating him goes away, she allows herself to get close again. With some help from Miguel. I love it because it's very raw and real, with emotions that are messy and not perfect, just like humans are.

      Another factor that I don't see mentioned much: this would have been in the early 1900s, in rural, very VERY Catholic Mexico. How do you think things would have been for a lone woman with a child whose husband just disappeared while said child was a toddler, and could not be confirmed alive or dead, thus not allowing her to remarry if she wished. The movie glossed over it, but things would have been awful for Imelda, and the fact that she was able to quickly learn a trade to support herself and her daughter in a time when things would have been so heavily stacked against her, and have it grow into a thriving family business, speaks highly of how strong a woman she was. I can understand why she was still ticked off at Hector leaving her alone with a child to raise.

    The fact that Pixar actually made a thorough research and portrayed all the cultural aspects so beautifully and so respectfully meant a lot to everyone in Mexico back when it came out.
    What's interesting is how some people were inspired to do some research on their long lost relatives, like people who migrated to the US and were never seen again, everyone would tell how they abandoned their families but thanks to the internet and records being available, people found death certificates and knew their relatives' fates were similar to Hector's.

    Fun Fact: Southwest Airlines promoted Coco (2017) by having one of their Boeing airplanes decorated with artwork from the film.
    Location Location Fact: The look of the Land of the Dead is inspired by the Mexican city of Guanajuato, which has colorful houses placed on the hillsides in such a way that they look almost stacked.
    Music Enthusiast Fact: Miguel was originally only going to play guitar and not sing. When the director, Lee Unkrich, discovered Anthony Gonzalez was in fact a talented singer, it was decided Miguel would do both so Anthony could share this talent in the film.
    Mythology Fact: The orange flower seen throughout the film is the Aztec Marigold (known also as the Mexican Marigold or the Cempasúchil). The flower is used in the tradition of Dia de los Muertos in México to guide the deceased to the living. In México, the Xoloitzcuintli (the Mexican hairless dog depicted in the film) is the guide of the deceased through his/her way to the Mictlán (the underworld, the place where all the souls go after death).

    Day of the Dead is one of those American holidays that has indigenous roots, European influences, and cultural identity values. It started in Mexico / Latin America going back 3,000 years to the Aztecs and other native American cultures, and was originally a month-long celebration of ancestors with offerings left on altars. When the Europeans arrived, the Catholics co-opted elements of the native religions, as they had in parts of Europe. The traditions became associated with the Christian All-Souls and All-Saints feast days Oct 31-Nov 1. By the twentieth century, the customs had spread to the US as a mostly religious holiday, with church services and graveyard visits. The current form, with home altars celebrating dead loved ones with photos and other offerings, developed in the 1970's with the folk and cultural revival movements.

    I've seen this movie so many times and I'm just now catching when de la Cruz said "who? " after imelda said he murdered the love of her life. If he had only murdered Hector he'd have known immediately who she was talking about. The fact that he said "who?" tells me he murdered multiple people. That's crazy.

    Coco reminded me so much of my great grandma. We loved her so much. She was my role model, and taught us the importance of family which I took to heart. I was bawling my eyes out when Miguel and Coco sang together. We continue to tell stories of her to this day.

    My two best friends and I are all of Mexican descent. We watched this film in theaters and by the end we were all ugly crying so hard we spent the time of the credits recomposing ourselves. This movie is so accurate in depicting our heritage from good such Dia de Los Muertos, the bad of the toxicity of family relationships, and everything in between like making you eat at dinner time lol.

    You mentioned that Coco was old and Imelda and Hector were younger, the age you die in the real world is the age you are when you enter the spirit world. So a few times you see younger children like on the bridge when the mother says don't stare. Makes you wonder what happened there.

    Dante is a Xoloitzcuintle, is a race from Mexico that doesn't have hair, the mexican belief is that they are the guides for the dead ones to cross to the Mictlan, wich is the land of the death, so it makes sense that he can cross
    I also do recommend watching the spanish version of the songs, specially the "llorona" one

      I could see the effect on him a little bit :)
      But, yeah... everyone's wired differently- I've actually been an intentional tearjerker-seeker ever since I felt the feel-good brain endorphins that can get released along with tears during my first watch of "Inside Out"... BUT for me, seeking out such an effect again is easier said that done... it's been frustrating, but despite the fact I personally ENJOY crying to movies, I go between 7 months to years between finding a REALLY good one.
      His reaction here reminds me of what I normally do in response to most emotional movies- it's like, "Oh, I think there's something there... oops, it evaporated." :P
      Not only is each person different, but I've discovered it also depends on the exact movie and sometimes even the exact combination of movie + life circumstances of viewer etc.
      For example:
      I typically don't react very much to many emotional movies, AND I had seen "The Land Before Time" as a child without reacting very much (from what I remember).. BUT:
      After re-watching THAT one 20 years LATER... that actually triggered the MOST intense cry of my entire LIFE.
      Another one that "got me" just as much was "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (but AFTER the movie was over).
      Interstellar also got me pretty good.
      Many others got me briefly teary-eyed but those three above were the most significant ones I can remember.
      OH- also "Into The Wild" REALLY got me... but that was before my tearjerker-seeking days.

      @sathvamp1 10 месяцев назад

      Update: If you haven't seen it yet, he more recently did a Schindler's List reaction-- and I know this shouldn't be a surprise with that movie, but that one broke him significantly more than this one did.
      ...I think Schindler's List was the FIRST movie on his channel that didn't give his tears time to evaporate.

  • @spaceshiplewis

    So the thing I think you are missing is that Hector and Emelda would sing together, but then Coco was born and Hector still wanted to sing. The idea was, to Hector, that Hector would continue to sing and make it big and send money home to his family until they had enough to tour together again. But before Hector and Del La Cruz got their big break, Hector got cold feet because their first tour would send them worldwide.
    Also you seem to be missing the cultural aspect of Spanish family, even when women didn't have a lot of power in society, the dynamics change in the privacy in the house and also when they become the head elder of the family hierarchy. Family and is super important and so is tradition.

    I love this reaction and this movie, it just occurred to me that Emelda never seemed to try to find out what happened to Hector - cause I assume if she went looking for him she would have found out that he died. It's seems weird that she just assumed he abandoned her.

  • @pohanahawaii
    @pohanahawaii 5 месяцев назад

    💀🌱 1) Hector never knew he was murdered, so he couldn't tell Imelda. 2) Plus they only had one day to come together but Hector could never crossed the Bridge of Remembrance. 3) You'd only know that Hector had died only if you'd die yourself. Even if Imelda knows about it in Land of the Dead, she still couldn't communicate it to the living.

  • @sathvamp1
    @sathvamp1 10 месяцев назад +3

    Amazing reaction! :)
    If you'd like to see if another animated movie can throw you potentially even further all over the place emotionally, I would be very curious to see your reaction to "Inside Out" (if you haven't seen it), OR...even better... the ORIGINAL 1988 "The Land Before Time": Even if you've seen "The Land Before Time" already, that one might still be worth a re-watch and reaction, depending on how long it's been. That's because...to use myself as an example:
    I typically don't react very much to most emotional movies, AND I had seen "The Land Before Time" as a child.. BUT:
    After re-watching it 20 years LATER... that was actually the MOST emotionally-triggering movie of my entire LIFE.

    I think Imelda blamed Héctor for leaving with Ernesto to begin with, not for dying. Because Héctor did still leave her. And then the checks from his performances stopped coming, and one day she saw Ernesto with ths guitar she gave Héctor. It's not unreasonable to assume Héctor sold out and ran away with another woman. Then she died and saw he was still in his early twenties, and she thought he died doing something stupid, which wouldn't have happened if he hadn't left.

    The only thing that annoyed me with this film was they barely touched on Coco's husband. It was just Coco and her father. Even as they are crossing the bridge, she took her husband's hand, but her focus was on Hector. At the party Coco is with her daughter. It's kind of sad in that aspect.
