In making this Coco Lee Unkrich as director and writer inspired by the day of celebration of De los Muertos (Day of the Dead) even before he set the title according to the name of the day of celebration but he got criticism from the Mexicans and eventually he changed it to Coco. Quoted from Wikipedia He De Los Muertos is a holiday celebrated throughout Mexico, especially the Central and South regions, as well as Mexican ancestors who are elsewhere, especially in the United States. This day of celebration is aimed at meeting family and friends as well as to remember friends and family members who have died and pray for them in the wild there. In addition to stories, background, music, atmosphere, and other supporting tools were themed Mexico. Listen below geeks some things that are really similar or similar to the situation in Mexico.
a.Music
Given this film tells the story of a child who dreams of becoming a great musician like his idol Ernesto de la Cruz (Mexico's best musician of all time), in this film we will hear many music or songs inspired from the heyday of Mexico ranging from huapango, ranchera, son jarocho, and classical ballads as well as traditional Mexican music.
b. The entrance of Land of the Dead
It is shown in the trailer that right next to the cemetery where the main celebration takes place there is a bridge made entirely of cempasuchil petals (a flower commonly used for the celebration of Dia De los Muertos) only visible to the deceased. The use of the flower has two purposes: the original color serves as light, and the aroma as a fragrance, which later as a guide to the ofdada (altar) for the spirits that have died. Families who are left to die make the bridge so that the dead spirits can reach their city.
c.Land of the Dead
As long as death continues, Land of the Dead will continue to change, it's all due to the increasing number of burials. Some of these cemeteries have colonial and modern architecture. Even from the cemetery there resembles the pyramids of Teotihuacan, the Great Theater of Mexico, the Palacio de Bellas Artes, and the Palacio de Correos de Mexico (Pos Pos Mexico Palace)
Historical Figure
Maybe geeks will not realize that in fact many figures are inspired from Mexican history that cameo in this film. Starting from his idol Miguel Ernesto de la Cruz is said to be a Golden Age of Mexican musician, then Pedro Infante and Jorge Negrete the two most iconic actors and singers currently featured in the skull character.
But there are the most popular figures besides the two previously mentioned Mexican film actors Cantinflas (Komedian), artist Maria Felix, Dolores del Rio, Agustin Lara, and Santo Agung (masked wrestlers). For his historical figures geeks can see the revolutionary leaders Emiliano Zapata and Pancho Villa. And there are also some of the most iconic stars of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Historical figures that will appear may be increased again considering this movie has not released. So take a good look at Geeks when you watch later there may be other characters who appear.
d.Alebrijes
Land of the Dead is filled with characters called alebrijes. This character is an icon of Mexican folk art, and in the Coco movies they play an important role as the guide of the ancestral spirits. This character was originally created by sculptors from Mexican cities. He got the idea when he was having a terrible deman and he hallucinates to meet a colorful hybrid animal (mix of 2 animals). And finally he made the statue using paper or commonly called mache (paper statue).
Miguel's hometown, Santa Cecilia
The hometown of Rivera is actually also the birthplace of Ernesto de la Cruz. Lee Unkrich was inspired by the many cities in Mexico, he cleverly chose a name that is Saint Cecilia, the protector of musicians. Selection of this name to support the beautiful musical symbology on the movie Coco
4.Full Meaning
Like other pixar movies, there must be a message behind the film for example in the movie Finding Nemo we are taught to socialize, do not despair, the strength of friendship. Well in this Coco movie there must be a message that Lee Lee wants to convey to the audience. Looking at some of the trailers that have been aired and stories inspired by the celebration of De Los Muertos may be what Lee Unkrich wants to say is that we should not forget our friends and family, and we must pray for the dead to keep them there. Also do not despair to do what we want to do and we know that it is a good thing, even if our own parents forbid, and do not forget the good tradition that has been there before.
