Coco himself kept a picture of the father’s face that was torn from the family, but after Imelda’s death, Héctor did not return once all the family’s family was held by Coco. Coco never completed the photo during this time and put his father’s photo into the family mourning hall. So what is the hidden line of this movie? It was Coco’s understanding of his father’s life.

After being “abandoned” by Héctor, we could imagine that it was not only Imelda who was angry, but also Coco. This explains why after years since Imelda passed away, Coco still hadn’t put up her dad’s photo. She probably hated that her father abandoned her and her mother and hated music, but she did not know whether her father died or where she was. Therefore, she concealed her father’s picture in her own drawer and she did not want to put on the family mourning hall.

When Miguel brought back the song of Remember me, Coco could see her father’s wishes once more, and then points to the past photos to recall her father and think that papa is back. It’s hard to imagine Coco’s life as a young girl who thought she was abandoned by his father and raised by a dominant, decisive mother. She was holding the whole family alone until death. She might open the drawer and look at his father’s face. Read the letter from her father, remember me, remember the past happy time. Perhaps this is why the film is called “Coco.”
