Like Christianity has done to many pagan traditions, modern Dia de los Muertos was co-opted by the Spanish post-colonization of Mexico. It existed in central and south Mexico before Christianity arrived.
I saw this tonight and I really enjoyed it. My 6 year old daughter, on the other hand, cried the ENTIRE fucking movie. Not because she was scared or anything. Just because she was complaining that she was hungry and tired and wanted to be home.
I'm never taking her to a movie again. Pain in the ass. As a side note, as soon as the movie was over, she was saying how good it was, even though she wanted to leave the entire time.
Nah, she wanted to watch the frozen short. And being a responsible parent, I can't leave her in the theater alone, so that's no dice.
But yes, I'm in Hawaii. And she decided she wanted shaved ice (Japan's version of Rita's Water Ice... no where near as good) instead of movie food. So we got that as soon as it was over.
I go by threat of embarrassment - I would have dragged my kid out kicking and screaming letting everyone know that "SHE CANT STAND IT AND NEEDS FOOD NOW OR SHE WILL DIE SO WE ARE GOING TO GET FOOD" and of course a spanking if she also opted to keep throwing a damn fit for no reason.
So far we are 2 movies in at the theater and both girls don't complain a bit
Man oh man I've only ever cried during one movie in my lifetime, but the end of this is probably the next closest I've come to shedding a tear. This was a damn, damn good movie.
Thank goodness. I knew it was supposed to be either last week or this week. Honestly, Coco would have probably been 98-100 on RT if the audience didn't have to start out with a 30+ min "short". Honestly, I would have been completely fine if they would have kept it to their plan of making this a TV special but that before the movie business was just dumb.
