Aspects of Identity.

ANALYZING MEDIA THROUGH MY FAVORITE MOVIE

In this scene from the movie COCO released in 2017, shows and represents multiple aspects of identity. The Mise-en-scene in this clip, gives a warm and homely lighting a round mama coco which shows a contrast with the vibrancy of the afterlife visuals from earlier in the movie, giving the scene a realism and memorial look. Another example is the sound and dialogue used, the song "Remember Me" carries an emotional and narrative weight, and when Miguel sings it gives the scene a cultural bridge. Theres multiple aspects of identity in this scene but I'm going to talk about 2 which are age and Race/Ethnicity. Age is represented by Miguels, he expresses this by his actions, his curiosity and self-expression, while mama coco is older, and she embodies memory, tradition, and generational knowledge. The Race/Ethnicity is represented by their Mexican culture, the music representation, and the traditional Dia de los Muertos showing pride in their heritage.
