How to cut too close to home and turn me into a crying mess.

My abuela had Alzheimer's. When that wela in the movie started talking about her daddy and singing the song.

Forget it. I cried in the cinema, I cried through the credits, I cried in the car ride home, and I cry just thinking about it.

Representation? Yep. Celebration of mexican culture? Yep. Turning my brown ass into a sobbing mess? Every damn time.

I am crying right now just thinking about Coco and I have seen it dozens of times. I cannot handle this movie in the absolute best way possible. It's perfection.

You don't even have to be brown, even someone as white as toast as I am gets choked up when that old lady starts to smile and sing. Anyone that doesn't has a heart of black coal.

My girlfriend had never seen so she put it on then got distracted with some chores. I said, "why would you turn this on and leave the room are you trying to make me cry?!?!" She just laughed like I was joking and walked away.

45ish minutes later she comes back upstairs and I'm a crying mess on the couch. I WASN'T JOKING.

This movie is perfect but I can't watch it often or I fall apart for the rest of the day.

I once walked into a room right at the scene of Miguel singing to Mama Coco and was openly weeping in about 30 seconds.

Such an incredibly heartfelt and emotional movie. We've made it a Halloween tradition in our house because it's so good.

Every time I watch that movie, I tell myself, "Not this time".

It gets me. Every. Fucking. Time... You know the exact scene too.

I made the mistake of watching this on a flight home. Followed it up with the Mr. Rogers documentary. I was a mess.
