00:04Signor de la Cruz, mi aiuti a seguire i miei sogni.
00:14Aspettami! Devi starmi vicino, bello! Non sappiamo dove ci troviamo.
00:21Dio de los muertos è una festività in cui la gente può ricordare i miei sogni.
00:28Inoltre, io sento che il tuo film parla di lasciare i miei sogni,
00:37di dire goodbye. È un film di dire goodbye.
00:40Come possiamo dire goodbye e dire goodbye?
00:42Come possiamo dire goodbye e go on with our lives.
00:44Well, it's actually not about letting go and saying goodbye.
00:48It's about the opposite of that.
00:49I think a lot of people, you know, their relationship with loved ones
00:55and losing loved ones is about saying goodbye and letting go.
00:58But what really inspired us is that in the Mexican culture
01:03and in the celebration of Dia de Muertos, it's about never letting go.
01:07It's about an obligation to hold on and to always remember
01:10and to pass stories along.
01:12The worst possible thing would be to let go and say goodbye.
01:16We want to always remember and hold our loved ones close in our hearts.
01:20So we can't.
01:24Well, based on how Dia de Muertos is celebrated, we shouldn't.
01:29But I mean maybe in the way of you never really have to let go.
01:37I think that maybe that's where you're coming from.
01:40That we stay together no matter what.
01:42We transcend space and time.
01:44And so that is a beautiful part of this holiday
01:47and hopefully a beautiful part of our movie.
01:51Speaking about memory, do you make movies because in this way you can cheat death?
01:59Because many years from now you will be remembered for your movies, for your heart.
02:04Well, I can't cheat death.
02:07But I don't know, we're very proud to tell stories and make movies that will live on long after we're
02:15gone.
02:15It's very rewarding to bring something into the world that hopefully people will be looking at
02:2210, 20, 50 years into the future.
02:24We try to make the movies without too many or very few pop cultural references.
02:31We try to make them very classic so that hopefully they will still be very relevant and timeless.
02:39In this movie, pursuing our dreams is a really important part.
02:46So how can we pursue our dreams when even our family doesn't support us?
02:52It's very difficult, I think.
02:54It is difficult.
02:54And that's the dilemma that our main character, Miguel, faces.
02:58You know, he has dreams of being a musician, but his family doesn't support him at all.
03:04But his family loves him and everything that they do for him is trying to protect him.
03:11And it is based in love.
03:14And that would be a hard position to be in, right?
03:18To have a love for something and have a passion, but feel that you don't have the support of your
03:23family, but you still love your family.
03:26So that's messy.
03:26And we liked that it wasn't a simple black or white problem for Miguel, that there are no easy answers.
03:34Like, I can't tell you the answer to that question.
03:36I don't know how you have both.
03:39other than, you know, trying to, I don't know, convince your family that following your passion is important.
03:47And just hope that they love you so much that they want to support you.
03:55Yeah, I mean, yeah, you just never give up.
03:58You just, you know, you hope that as an artist, if you're following your passion, it's a long journey.
04:05It's a long journey to be an artist.
04:07It's never an easy road.
04:08It's never a straight road.
04:10And so, and our families just love us and they try to protect us and they don't.
04:16So we have to keep trying to hope to get them to understand where we're coming from as artists.
04:23With Coco, I cried a lot like a baby, like in years I didn't cry so much.
04:31I want to know which is the movie that when you see, you, when you see it, you can stop
04:39and you have to cry.
04:42You always cry.
04:43Good question.
04:44I don't know that there's any movie that makes me cry repeatedly, like every time I see it, but there
04:50have been a few movies that have made me cry.
04:52One of them for me is Field of Dreams.
04:55You know, I see boys and their sons connecting.
05:00It always moves me.
05:02There was a movie directed by Terence Malick called The Tree of Life that made me cry quite a bit.
05:08I found it very emotional.
05:09Great choice.
05:12Speaking about memory, again, in this movie, the role of grandparents is really important because they are our memories.
05:21They tell us history and stories when we are little.
05:24So I want to know, did you have a nice relationship with grandparents and you feel that we have to
05:31respect them and spend much time with them?
05:34Absolutely.
05:35I think it's really important to spend time, not only with grandparents, but any older relatives and, you know, and
05:42hear their stories and get to know them as people so that, so that you can pass those stories along
05:48to your children and future generations.
05:51I only had one grandparent.
05:53Three of my grandparents died before I was born, but I had a grandmother who I was very, very close
05:57to, and I think about her all the time in my work.
06:02Yeah, I had a wonderful grandmother, and when you have a grandparent that you're close to, there's no other relationship
06:11like that, where the bond is so amazing and so important, I think.
06:17And so, yeah, I think that it's inspirational and you would never want our grandparents to be forgotten.
06:23Okay.
06:24Thank you.
06:25Thank you.
06:25Thank you!
