The Book of Life

In the film, the male protagonist Manolo (voiced by Mexican actor Diego Luna) must defeat his love rival Joaquin (voiced by Channing Tatum) and win the heart of his lover Maria (Zoe Saldana). To this end, he not only had to outsmart Manolo and the fencing master Maria himself, but also had to travel through "The Land of the Remembered", resist various temptations, and return to the world. The film is magnificent, colorful and full of Mexican cultural elements. Mexicans believe that death is the end of life and the beginning of new life. The first two days of November every year is the traditional festival "Dia de Muertos", which is celebrated grandly across the country. Masks are worn everywhere, and bread and candies are decorated with the image of skeletons. The colors, musical instruments and even food of the "Remembered Place" in the film, as well as Manolo's skull shape, all draw inspiration from the traditional customs of the "Ghost Festival".
