Abortion is one of the most controversial issue on several countries especially Philippines. It is defined as the removal of the embryo from the uterus in order to end a pregnancy.
Abortion is common to those teenagers who got pregnant at early age and got scared to the responsibility and consequences of their worldly actions.
– Ben Shapiro
In order for them to get rid of their problem, they chose to abort the fetus in their womb. In order for them not to be judge by the society, they abort the fetus. In order for them to continue living free, they end the baby’s life.
According to the Article II Section 12 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution that the state recognizes the sanctity of the family life and shall protect and strengthen the family as a basic autonomous social institution. It shall equally protect the life of the mother and life of the unborn from conception.
Even though it’s just fetus orblood, the fact that you do not give hat fetus a chance to see the beauty of the world and end it’s life by aborting it, you technically commit a crime. It’s a god’s gift. You should be thankful of the blessings. He/she will be the rainbow after you experience storm.
Psalm 139:13
For thou didst form my inward parts; Thou didst knit me together in my mother’s womb.
The hope is to guide and feed our love one’s souls as they ventures in their journey to the other side. The ofrenda in Coco and real life tradition Mexican celebration of ‘ Noche de ofrenda’ or ‘ the nigth of altar’. Ofrenda symbolizes the remembrance of the family because during the annual tradition, Mexicans leave food and presents for the dead so that they can enjoy them in the after life. Ofren in a sense , becomes the ultimate symbol for the family. Ofreda serves a purpose because the present family put a something to embrace in the past.
Based on Lee Unkrich, Ofrenda or Altars, Which are physical manifestations of the link between the living and the dead . As seen in Coco,it’s the the task of those who alive to honor the dead, to tribute those who are no longer here and ensure they are not forgotten . Others might be feature three levels representing heaven, Earth, and Purgatory, or, in the strict religious, household, it can also representing one of the seven stages the soul has to pas through in order to achieve eternal peace .
Ofrenda is the remembrance of the family’s true love to their ancestor, so the family in the present put a flower , food, water, candles in ofrenda or altar , sugar skull, the dearly departed’s photos , their favorite meals. As they comply their culture and tradition.
When we hear ‘Hero’ you will automatically put the word ‘SUPERHERO’ it’s like the avengers beating up some alien things coming out of the sky. The hero that come’s to your mind is good looking,they’re built like a tank and they always have some cool outfit or cape which sets them apart from the rest of the group.
Miguel
So for me in the movie of coco is Miguel because according to the movie that i watch, Miguel is a young boy who dreams to be an aspiring musician, he became a hero in the movie because he is the reason why Imelda and Hector became a partner again and he also the reason why Mama Coco remember her father which is Hector, Miguel sing the song ‘Remember Me’ in front of Mama Coco and to all of his family. Miguel do it because Mama Coco slowly forgetting her father, that’s why Miguel is a Hero in the movie.
Dante
And according also to the movie of Coco, Dante became a hero because in the scene of Hector, Imelda and Miguel knows about Ernesto, Miguel fall in the rooftop in Ernesto concert and before he fall down Dante come’s and catch Miguel, that’s why Miguel is still alive, he is so thankful to Dante because if Dante’s not come, Miguel was already fall down. That’s why Dante is a hero like Miguel even they are not same for what they do in that scenario.
Miguel is a Hero in the movie of Coco and also Dante, for Miguel he is the reason why their family became okay and good. And he is the reason why Mama Coco remember her father which is Hector. For Dante, he is the reason why Miguel not fall down to that rooftop that’s why Miguel is still alive.
“Remember me” is the thematic song in the movie entitled “Coco” which is heard multiple times throughout the film.
This song was the signature song of Ernesto Dela Cruz, because he performed this before his shocking death that’s why it became the ultimate tribute to his career and legacy as one of Mexico’s greatest musicians of all times.
But this song was not really his but Hector’s. It was really Hector’s work. He wrote the song as a lullaby to his daughter Coco to be close to her and let her remember him even though he was gone.
In my research, I found out that “Remember Me” is really a heartfelt song written by a father (Hector) to his daughter (Coco). Hector wrote this song for Coco for her to remember his father no matter how far apart they are. According to Abby Postlewaite, she stated that “Hector’s love for Coco shines through the lyrics of the song very strongly.”
Remember me was also a remembrance of the dead because this song imploring those listener to remember their loved ones who’ve already passed away, like what was stated by Luke Penny, “The film’s characters yearn to be remembered, whether that’s in pursuit of boundless fame or just to be kept alive in the memory of loved one. Coco supposes that it matters not what great accomplishment yo’re remembered for, nor that you’re forgiven for the mistakes made along the way; what matters is that you’re remembered at all.”

The author wrote this story maybe because he wants us to value our family, love them even though they are far away from us, even if it takes heaven or hell, we need to love and remember them because they are our family. The author not only wants us to value our family but also to pursue our dreams in life though there’s so much hindrance or trials blocking our way.

In the movie ”coco”there are archetypal symbolism like the guitar that we always see in the movie.As with many Pixar movies,there may be subtle things you didn’t by patching it up and painting it to look just like Ernesto Dela Cruz signature guitar the famous musician idol of Miguel,As a viewer of”coco” i discover that Miguel accidentally enters in the land of the dead when he played the guitar of Ernesto Dela Cruz.because of that a guitar got magical powers to transfer Miguel in the land ofthe dead discovering family’s secret history along the way.
According to Wikipedia,the popular Disney movie”coco” is giving guitar makers in one tiny Mexican town something to sing about.Guitar makers in Paracho,Michoac’an,Mexico say their guitar stood out in film,featured prominently throughout the movie is Ernesto Dela Cruz’s whimsical Mexican inspired guitar. Guitar symbolizes Miguel’s dream because that despite his family’s baffling generation -old ban on music.Miguel dreams to becoming an accomplished musician like his idol Ernesto Dela Cruz,desperate to prove his talent.
the attributes guitar is have so many symbolism in throughout the film when Pixar approached us about bringing this guitar to our life,we were up to the challenge is an extraordinary film about honoring family and traditions while also following your passions through music of guitars allows you bring the heartwarming magic.
In the movie “Coco” their archetypal characters and one of the archetypal characters is Ernesto de la Cruz. He is a villain archetype. According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, villain is a character in a story, movie, etc… who does bad things. I also find other villain character that I can compare to Ernesto de la Cruz and the character I find is Gollum or also known Smeagol, he is a villain character in the movie of “The Lord of the Rings”.
Ernesto de la Cruz is a villain character because based on
the movie, Ernesto de la Cruz murder Hector to keep his fame that’s why I
consider him as a villain character. According also to fandom, Ernesto de la
Cruz is the villain that attempts to kill Hector with a poisoned drink in order
to steal his songs and achieve the fame for himself. In the movie of The Lord
of the Rings, Gollum consider as a villain because he murder his own kin and
bestfriend Deogol in his birthday after seeing the rings. Ernesto de la Cruz
and Gollum is similar because they are obsessed and murderous, and they will do
anything for fame or power.
Gollum or also known as Smeagol
Ernesto de la Cruz and Gollum is a villain because he cares this reputation and willing to kill someone for fame or power to keep his reputation. They don’t care if they harm someone the only hing they want is they goodness and power.
Alebrijes or spirit Guides are brightly colored Mexican folk art sculptures or mythical creature. It is very known in Mexico. Pedro Linares make the first Alebrijes. Every alebrijes is a chimaera animal.
Pedro Linares
In the movie Coco, there is a Xolo dog Dante, with a tongue that always sticks out and often wags its tail, who always accompanies Miguel wherever he goes. Dante was inspired by the Xolo breed which is the national dog of Mexico. According to Lee Unkrich, the Xolo is often featured in the legends of the Aztec where the traveler needs a company of a Xolo to make their journey through the afterlife. We can also see in the movie when Miguel passes on the table full of Alebrijes, Dante is seen there, in a trash can foreshadowing that Dante is a spirit guide.
In Mexican culture, spirit guides are significant in their lives. They believed that you can accomplish the thing you want to do easily with their help. In my opinion, the author include spirit guides in the film not just to introduce the Mexican culture but to imply to audiences that in achieving our dreams and goals, we need to have someone who can give company and support to us.
