Coco (2017) dir. Lee Unkrich

You know what I love about this scene?

Miguel is right. The first time I watched it, I expected a later scene where Miguel was proven wrong or shown the error of his ways—one where it’s firmly established that adults might make rules that don’t make sense, but they have their reasons and it’s best to abide by their wishes.

But no. That doesn’t happen. Instead, we see that Imelda’s insistence on the music ban, and her refusal to reconsider, indirectly (or perhaps directly) land Miguel in even greater danger, as he wouldn’t have gone after de la Cruz were it not for Imelda insisting he give up music forever. The happy ending comes not when Miguel agrees to give up music to please his family, but when he defies the ban to save Héctor and restore Mama Coco’s memories.

I can’t tell you how many kid’s movies I’ve seen that would have taken “Family comes first” to mean “The adults’ wishes are paramount even if they’re unreasonable.” It would have been so easy to have Miguel simply go along with what Imelda wanted, but Pixar instead gave us a story where a child’s decision to contest an unfair rule is what eventually restores a broken family.

when your otp has an honest talk only in dire situations, like when they’re running full tilt being carried by the wind shouting at the top of their lungs

(the movie made this flying thing so romantic, but the book version is basically ‘howl and sophie scream into the wind as it slams them back to the castle’)

Romance the Ghibli way:

What in the actual fuck

they are manufacturing a crime 

America will do anything to maintain their prison population! Prisons
are traded on the Stock Exchange! Incarceration is the new SLAVERY!

I am at a loss for words to be honest lol.

this is literally what they did to create the crack game in LA. If you read Ricky freeway Ross book he says the police and CIA packed up train cars full of guns and left them parked right beside the tracks in Compton. They knew the people in Compton investigated the trains and train tracks. This was exactly the same scenario and now we know why entrapment work so well. People are needy and when they see things that appear to be free they will take them if they need them. these are poor kids therefore a class action suit would seem to be in order against the police for utilizing this sort of entrapment and deception with intention to create criminal cases that they manufactured with false bait.

This is why that TV show where they had cars wired for people to steal them didn’t stay on television very long. because lawyers and other people saw through the scenario and quickly made sure that this type of trap was never laid so openly again. Now we see Chicago utilizing it and we already know Chicago has lots of problems with guns and violence. I think people in Chicago need to step up and hold the police responsible for this and do not let them get away. This is the type of case that should be taken in federal court because no one should ever be entrapped in the name of the law

Watch For Yourself – This is a REPEAT of a generational plot
