"Death is not the point, forgetting is. ”
In 2017, a high-scoring tear-jerking cartoon "Dream Travel" produced by Pixar Animation Studios landed in the air, the whole film uses an absurd but warm plot setting to push the story to a climax step by step.
At the beginning of this film, the main line is the narration of the male protagonist MiG, telling why in a city full of **, his own family regards ** as a forbidden thing and is forbidden to appear, and has been a shoemaker for generations.
But the little male protagonist seems to like ** who is incompatible with the family, and he also regards the "God of Song" Dracus as his idol, it turned out that this person was self-made, and then he was talented and won the love of countless people.
But in 1942, he was killed by a falling bell at a concert, so the curious MiG went to the square to learn more about his idol's story, and finally waited for the most lively annual Day of the Dead, where a talent contest was about to be held.
This made MiG, who was already inherited as the great-great-grandfather who had left home, ready to move, this is obviously the family's departure of great-great-grandfather is very different from MiG, the family thinks that it is not responsible for the family, but in the eyes of MiG is cool.
Although the family obstructed it in every way, MiG was still unwilling to give up, and MiG found a "secret base" at home, which was full of idols' ** and images, and secretly hid a worn-out guitar.
Just as he was playing selflessly, he happened to hear the idol in the video say that his dream was in his own hands, I strengthened my determination to participate in the literary competition, but when I was about to set off, I was blocked by my family.
Later, the puppy Dandan was eating the sacrifice on the altar, and Miguel unexpectedly dropped the photo of his great-great-grandmother in order to pull it down, which also laid the groundwork for the development of the story later.
I thought that MiG would be able to participate in the literary competition smoothly, but I didn't expect to be discovered by my family, and was thrown to the ground by his family, which also made Miguel run out of the house in anger and came to the square.
After that, although he wanted to participate in the literary competition, he didn't even have a guitar, and he couldn't participate in it, so Mig thought of his great-great-grandfather, that is, the guitar of the god of songs, and originally borrowed it, but he didn't expect supernatural events to start happening.
Just when MiG thought he was being discovered, he didn't expect that everyone couldn't see him, and then ran around in fear, and accidentally ran to the cemetery, where he saw a lot of skeletons in action.
And MiG, under the leadership of the puppy Dandan, saw his deceased ancestors, and then went to the land of the dead with his ancestors, it turned out that the Day of the Dead they said was very similar to the Qingming Festival in our country, and if the deceased family wanted to go to the world.
There must be family members who remember them, and they must be enshrined on the spiritual platform in order to visit their families in the worldBut because MiG accidentally dropped the ** of his great-great-grandmother on the altar, the great-great-grandmother could not return to the world.
Later, after questioning the person in charge, it was learned that the little boy Kenn was cursed for spoofing because he stole the guitar, and after his great-great-grandmother learned that the reason why he couldn't return to the world was because MiG took ** off the altar, she wanted to send him back.
The way to go back is to have marigold petals and ask the family to send blessings, and send the little boy back before dawn, otherwise he will never go back, finally found the petals, but the great-great-grandmother said that the boy would never touch **.
In order to go back first, he agreed, but he didn't expect that as soon as he went back, MiG wanted to take the guitar again to no avail, MiG returned to the land of the dead again, and after learning the reason for going back again, the family was no longer willing to send him blessings.
Then he decided to find his great-great-grandfather to send him a blessing, and by chance, MiG heard a man who knew his great-great-grandfatherSo he made an agreement with that person, and after helping himself meet his great-great-grandfather, he enshrined his **.
But as everyone knows, in fact, the closest person is around, and then several people avoid the search of their families and embark on the road to find their great-great-grandfather, and learn from others that their great-great-grandfather is hosting a lavish party.
On the way, he also learned about the death of the man who was with MiG, and learned that there was a tournament going on in the square, and that the champion could meet Dracus himself, so MiG wanted to give it a try, so he and Hector went to "Brother Pigskin" to borrow a guitar.
But Brother Pigskin, who listened to the aggressiveness, suddenly became very weak, it turned out that because fewer and fewer people in the world remembered him, and he was about to disappear, so accompanied by the sound of Héctor's guitar, Brother Pigskin disappeared completely.
This also makes the depth of the whole film rise to a great height, it turns out that death is not the point, forgetting isAfter that, MiG successfully came to the square to sign up, although he was afraid that his ancestors would find him, but he wanted to prove himself.
MiG successfully completed his long-awaited stage performance, but Héctor unexpectedly learned that MiG had other relatives, and the two separated due to a quarrel, and then the ancestors also found MiG and learned the truth from his great-great-grandmother.
He then embarks on a path to find Dracus, and meets Dracus through his own efforts, and was dragged around by Dracus to show off that this is his great-great-grandson, is this really the case alone?
The reversal crept in, and Héctor also met Dracus, and told the hidden truth, it turned out that Dracus's popularity was only made famous with the songs and tunes he created.
And also knew the real cause of his own death,It was because Hector wanted to quit returning home to be with his family, so Dracus ended Hector's life with poisoned wine.
I never expected that the big star Dracus, who was sought after by countless people, would be able to do such a thing, and the bigger reversal was still to come, it turned out that Héctor was MiG's great-great-great-grandfather, and Dracus's true face was revealed.
After that, the family got together completely, and the misunderstanding that had been years ago was finally resolvedAlthough they hated it for many years, in the face of the imminent disappearance of Keto, the great-great-grandmother still did not have the mercy to help MiG return to the real world.
Dracus's true colors are revealed, and MiG returns to reality and rushes to his great-grandmother with his guitar, begging her to remember his father, Héctor.
Fortunately, it was not too late, and the great-grandmother managed to remember that Héctor had not disappeared, the great-great-grandmother and the ** of Héctor finally became whole and placed on the altar, and in the new year they returned together to the people and walked away the great-grandmother.
The success of this film lies in the fact that although they integrate death into it, it is not scary at all, on the contrary, it is full of warmth and **,No matter what happens, it is not as important as the family, as long as it is not forgotten, even if the relatives pass away, they can be considered to still exist.
