生命之书

生命之书如此多的仇恨。无休止的侮辱，无数的不必要的暴力。把以前没有的性别歧视观念灌输给我的孩子们。流是可怕的-只是不停的沉重的动作。真不敢相信这部电影居然有剪辑师。我还是不明白为什么要拍这部电影;我没有看到任何积极的东西，只有一大堆消极的东西。几乎没有墨西哥文化，演员甚至没有墨西哥口音，几乎所有的音乐都是来自美国的旧音乐，而不是墨西哥音乐。整部电影没有好的音乐。我不是墨西哥人，但我觉得这部电影真的不尊重墨西哥人和他们的文化。 It was trashy American junk, and I could not figure out the target audience. There was WAY too much violence, insults, and meanness for kids under 10, and yet I don’t see any reason for anyone older to watch it. I did not like the style/animation. I found the unrealistic wooden block characters distracting. The acting was poor as well. We saw “Coco” last month and WOW that was spectacular, and everything this movie wasn’t. It shared some ideas such as Day of the Dead but actually very well-made, not like this junk. Coco gave an insight to Mexican life and culture, and I found that movie to be entertaining and educational. We all loved Coco, so I highly recommend it. Back to the Book of Life. I wanted to shut it off lots of times but the kids (7, 10) protested and I thought perhaps we were through the worst of it. Nope! It got even worse toward the end. Lots of “bad guys”, and they were scary! I would never let a kid five or under watch this. There were probably well over a hundred slaps, kicks and punches, people throwing each other, as well as a bomb. Lots and lots of bull-fighting with tons of close-ups of the big bull’s scary teeth. If you are concerned about your children watching violence, please preview all of this movie before showing your children. In addition to the violence, there were several bets (“wagers”) being made. I did not appreciate at all the basis of the plot- two boys who grow up into men fighting for one woman. The woman, who is in full makeup and dressed and animated like a Disney princess, clearly states towards the beginning that she does not belong to any man, but the movie misses the mark and I think a young audience might come away with the idea that women are just meant to be beautiful trophies for their husbands. The men constantly fought for her affection and over and over again tried to prove who was more worthy of her love based on their strength, courage and fighting skills. Also did not like when they had a main character singing “If you think I’m sexy...” My husband said he would describe this movie in four letters, starting with a “c”. I deeply regret renting, watching and sharing this movie with my children.

开始的时候好像有点慢。这个故事当然是自成体系的。我觉得这部电影的结尾非常精彩。真理，爱，忠诚，勇敢，忠于自己。这么多精彩的主题。对于敏感的孩子来说，有很多可怕的场景。我6岁的孩子不确定一个部分，但后来决定它是好的。如果孩子年龄在8岁以下或性格敏感，我建议和孩子一起看。
