In
the Disney Pixar’s movie Coco, it is based on a young boy Miguel who is
passionate about music and wishes to become an accomplished musician like his
idol Ernesto de la Cruz but due to his family’s ban on music, it is a bit
challenging for him to reach his goal. Miguel finds himself in a colorful world
where the dead now stay but later learns the real story behind his family’s
history. His journey around the colorful land is led by a homeless yet charming
trickster named Hector.
Every year in the Mexican
culture there is a Mexican holiday where we celebrate our loved ones who have
passed away, Dia de Los Muertos. Families either set up in their homes an altar
with pictures of their loved ones, put their favorite dish, set flowers and
light up candles or some may go to a cemetery and do the same. Dia de los
Muertos honors the dead with festivals and lively celebrations just like in the
movie Coco. My mother has an altar in her home with family members who have
passed away and always has flowers for them. Not only on Dia de los Muertos does my mom decorate the Altar, but also on their anniversary of death.
