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.

@@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.

During the end credits there is a montage with pictures of deceased relatives and friends of the people who worked on the production, like an “offrenda”. It’s pretty touching.

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.

I didn't cry. I couldn't bring myself to finish it because i was so bored with this movie. Thats why I watched a reaction to it instead.

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.

I think there isn't a "standard" concept of death in "the west" as you put it (although Mexico is a nation in the western hemisphere, so that terminology makes no sense to me here 🤔🤷). Some people visit their departed loved ones in cemetery often because that is how they feel that connection with them, whereas for me (and most of my family are dead, for context,) I don't see the need in going to the cemetery, because in my mind, that's only where their physical bodies are, not their spirits. If I want to talk to my mom, for example, I just talk to her, knowing she can hear me. But to be honest, I don't do that very often because it just makes me miss her a lot more 🤷

They really did their homework on this film. My Mexican husband was very impressed!

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".

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.

31:30 great reaction! I think that everyone in the afterlife looks the age they were when they died. So the children in the afterlife died as kids, and the elderly people died much later. I assume that the reason Hector and Imelda look so young is that they both died at a younger age while Coco lived to be an elderly woman.

Man! I could not wait to watch this reaction! This is one of the few movies that has actually made me cry at the cinema. 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. Thanks for reminding me of Coco! Excellent reaction as always!! Cheers!!

I love how clearly one can see in the end that Coco is Imelda's daughter. Imelda is such a headstrong person, but Coco was just as stubborn - if not MORE - by holding onto her father's memory, love, and only family picture for her _entire life_ in which everyone told her how awful he was. Miguel was probably the first person since the day Hector died when she was around 5 years old who told her that her father indeed loved her. Before that, she held onto that loving memory with such an iron grip for literally almost 100 years and never ever let anyone tell her otherwise. She even kept his piece of the picture hidden for all these decades, so no one could take it away from her and she's be able to honor his memory in her own secret way.

Something I just thought about, when it’s revealed Hector is really his family, it happens in a cenote(missing an accent or 2) which were VERY important to the Maya, they saw them as entrances to the underworld, and were central to their religious and day-to-day lives. The Maya gave so much culture and identity to the Mexican and other peoples. The Mexica where a Mayan tribe/group and gave their name to the country. The connection to the religions of before is nice to see!

I’m honestly shocked at the amount of people who think she was blaming Hector to dying. No, she’s blaming him for leaving to begin with. He still fucking left them.

I was happy to see this in a theater on a big screen, it's so packed with visual interest and color. It's a good poignant story, and I found it thoroughly entertaining.

It is not physically possible to watch this movie and not cry.

🎶 "Remember me, though I have to say goodbye / Remember me, don't let it make you cry" 🎶 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).

I love first time reaction videos especially on movies that I personally love. My first time watching CoCo I cried uncontrollably when Miguel was trying to help his Mama Coco remember, because it was just a few months earlier that my mother had died and then I started remembering my grandparents and even my great grandparents. It's so sad the idea of being forgotten. In this case Miguel can now remember his great great grandparents as well. It was a nice ending.

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.

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.

30:44 😢 Now l see why people retell stories. So beautiful. I almost ugly cried when Miguel sang with Mama Coco.

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.

Grandma Coco came out like that in the other world because she died at that age, just like Hector and everyone who dies, appear in the other world at the age they died. Blessings and I really liked your reaction.

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.

If you know anything about the artist Frida Carlo, you really appriciate how accurate they made her artistic vision in this movie!😊❤

gosh darn it! crying again after watching coco with you!

Great reaction, I really like your channel. My favorite line in this movie is: “It’s my life - you already had yours!”

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.

My dog is a hairless Mexican loke Dante, he's 8 and went blind in the winter of 2022, just after my other dog (a 10 year old chihuahua) passed from cancer.

I haven't seen this one myself but love music movies, it was fun to watch you react to it. Such a brilliant smile and infectious laugh. I haven't seen it in a long time, but August Rush I remember liking as well if you're looking for another guitar movie.

I watched this a couple months ago, but if I were to watch it in present day I’d sob even more. I lost my grandad recently and I think the death of Miguel’s great grandmother would break me, because I now know how it feels.

This is such a good movie! I wish I had this on DVD 😊 great reaction

I watched this for the first time a week after my mom died. Very cathartic.

Loved this reaction! You come across as an intelligent and invested reactor which is a breath of fresh air in this youtube genre. Here are some lesser known animated but cult classic movies to consider watching: Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmaron The Road to El Dorado The Emperor's New Groove Home on the Range Treasure Planet The Rescuers + The Rescuers Down Under Balto Bolt The Prince of Egypt Joseph: King of Dreams Peter Pan 2: Return to Neverland Surf's Up

Thanks for the suggestions and also the compliment ☺️

I live in one of the towns that inspired this movie and I feel so proud to see people from other countries experiencing the tradition for the first time 🧡

That was sweet. Your eyes watered a lot. That’s genuine

If you haven't see it yet, he more recently did a Schindler's List reaction-- I think that was the first movie on his channel that did a bit more than produce watery eyes.

i understand why imelda was still mad at hector after he tried to explain. Even though he tried to come back home he still initially left her.

I really like watching your reactions it just makes my Day happy and your giggles are adorable I just subscribed to you 2 months ago iam such a big fan of your reactions! ❤

You deserve so much more subs! Your reactions are amazing! 🤌

I watched this film a few times and I loved it every time. I saw it both in English and in all Spanish. I think the Spanish version hit harder for me in emotions and delivery. Now you gotta watch Encanto. I wanna see what you think of that one. I saw that in English and Spanish too😆

I was a blubbering mess watching this in the theater. It's so emotional

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.

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.

💀🌱 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.

I’m glad u enjoyed Coco Oscar! This is a wonderful movie and it always makes me a cry a bit whenever I watch it. I always cry at 23:26 and 29:48 gets me every time (🥺🤧). Exactly at 25:05 (😫) thank u!💀🎸🎶🎵🎼🇲🇽

I love that the orchestra during Imeldas song was like 'Idk whats going on but this songs a bob lets go with it'

no matter how many times i watched this masterpiece im always drowning in tears

Seeing as though my Dad passed when I was a little girl and he played bass guitar,I BROKE the first..second .fifteenth time I saw this movie!

Your giggles are adorable. 😊

beautiful reaction! and beautiful movie!

When I first watch this movie, I was watching it while eating spicy noodles so when I got to the last part of the movie, I cried even harder. Both for the movie and the spicy noodles😅

If someone was smart, they would develop a kid’s show with Oscar. It’s a natural fit

Something that always bothered me about Imelda is that she basically threatened to kill Miguel if he doesn’t follow her way. She doesn’t say this directly, but she says she will not give her blessing otherwise and the family follows her lead. Staying in the Land of the Dead until sunrise is… dying. I know she probably doesn’t really mean it and would’ve given in at the last minute if Miguel was stubborn enough but imagine laying that kind of ultimatum on a child who doesn’t REALLY know you and thinks you’re serious. “Take my conditions or stay here and die.” But that’s the point, right? Generational trauma makes you a toxic person (which Encanto also takes more of a focus on later). If I was Miguel, I’d run away too, less to do with my pride and more for the fact I’d feel like my literal life is in their hands and they do not have my best interests at heart. I am literally turning into a skeleton right in front of them and all they can think of is what THEY want. I read a really good oneshot fic about an alternate universe where Miguel does take the ultimatum but it warps his sense of family love and views it all as conditional, closing himself off to all family, alive and dead, being miserable and living with the constant anxiety that if he slips up even ONCE, he’ll end up back in the Land of the Dead for good. It’s really the only outcome I’d see happening if Miguel took that route; returning to the land of the living that way doesn’t mean you’re any less cursed. That’s why even if it’s understandable the way Imelda ended up the way that she did, I can’t help but feel a little cold toward her. But that’s what makes her interesting. I’m glad she came around at the end.

Your intro sounds like the corn hub sound "no I have not been on it"
