It's a typical American cartoon. You guessed the general direction of the story within 5 minutes of the first chapter. The good side will finally embrace the beauty, and of course, there will be some setbacks before the beauty.
The guitarist Manolo and the military hero Joaquin both love Maria, the sea turtle, who loves Manolo, but his father prefers Joaquin. And the immortal Civaldo cheated to keep Manolo and Maria separated by yin and yang in order to make a bet.
In this film, the victory and redemption of self occurred in Manolo and Joaquin respectively. As a descendant of the bullfighter, Manolo loves music and is neglected by his family, but in the face of challenges, he simply conquers himself. And Joaquin also understood in the final battle with the bandit leader that to become a real hero, he must learn to be selfless. . . Full of positive energy.
Since Manolo, the protagonist of this film, is a literary youth who plays guitar, the music of this film is something that must be mentioned. When Manolo sang the radiohead classic creep, he was stunned for a few minutes. The adaptation is extremely Mesoamerican, and the hoarse and indifferent rock in the original song is almost completely gone. It can be seen that the music processing of this film is excellent, both adaptation and innovation. It can be said that the big coffee in charge of the music of this film is extremely talented in music.
Let's talk about the picture style of this film. It has a very strong Mexican style, with fancy clothes, a big beard, playing guitar and singing songs. The color processing of the whole film is very gorgeous and rich in color, which can catch the audience's attention. The main characters in this film are all performed with puppets, which not only fits the point that the museum interpreter uses puppets to tell stories, but also provides a better way of expressing the characters' limb separation in the film. Violence. At the same time, the film's handling of death is also extremely delicate, using the gorgeous celebration in "Remembering the Country" to make death not look scary.
Of course, as a cartoon, the story will definitely be different from the "blockbusters". For example, the entire film does not have a strict villain except for the bandit leader. Even driving a very evil "god" similar to Hades of Hades, Sivalba only made a bet with the goddess Lamuerte because he wanted to rule the "Place of Remembrance", pay attention, it's a bet. Although it is said that I cheated when I bet, but it is very good to believe that I will keep my bet, and I will flirt with the goddess, kiss me and me, it is really cool. Thinking about it carefully, the only villain in the whole film finally died. It is to tell the children that there are still many kind people in this world, and people are good; even the "bad guy" Sivalba abides by the agreement, you must keep your promise, little brat. ; Joaquin is a great hero, not only did he lose to Manolo who played the guitar, so force is not everything and so on, all this is telling his main audience-little friends to do a "five talks, four beauties and three" An excellent successor to socialism who loves." These characteristics are manifested all the time as a cartoon, and the education for children is interspersed in it.
In a film, there are both justice over evil, self-challenge, and family warmth. In general, "The Book of Life" is a typical cartoon that is suitable for the whole family to watch and has good educational significance for the little friends.

    From the protagonist to the villain, everyone is super romantic, right? From young girls to male protagonists and mothers to goddesses, every female character is both gentle and powerful. Is there any?

    Half a good show, the first half of the time was terrible, and the next half of the time began to be wonderful. The script was made well. Although it is a child's movie with a little teeth, I have to admit that the second half of the story is very exciting. The craftsmanship is not bad, and besides the neatness, there are a few places where the plot is still small and amazing. With the director of Ge Er Mo, both the fantasy and the evil are there. If there is more gothic fan, it will be even better. ★★★
