So why would someone kill someone who can easily be replaced by other writers, lovers, family, and drop him in the middle of nowhere without even telling their families or anyone what happened to his friend? To me the answer is quite simple: Because you love that person.Īnd that's why I believe Ernesto De la Cruz was gay, and in love with Ernesto, and wished to be the object of his songs.The conflict between Arendale and the Northuldra is basically concluded we only really see the aftermath.
Why to just hide the body of his friend if he could have found better ways to do that and leave no lose ends? The answer: To spite Imelda, remember that before Ernesto and Héctor it was Imelda and Héctor, and that's the point, once Héctor left he would be with Imelda and Ernesto would be all on his own, and he couldn't take that, and to make things worth he made sure Imelda and Coco lived never havign clossure and hating Héctor their whole lives.
COCO ERNESTO DE LA CRUZ DEATH MOVIE
There was no way in rural México at the time to figure out Héctor died of poisoning, he could have just said that he passed away in his sleep and let Imelda and Coco weep in peace, but nope, we never know what happened to his body, and it takes the entire movie to figure out what really happened. Then there's the fact that Imelda and Coco never knew what happened to Héctor, to the point they assumed he abandoned them and resented him their whole lives to the point Imelda still resents Héctor in the afterlife. And he poisoned Héctor with a toast "to honor their friendship". The fact that Ernesto, a stereotypical Latino Macho from the 30's and 40's whom also was bigger and stronger than Héctor chose to use posion rings weird to me. The crimes associated with posion in literature also tend to be passional, like jealousy, revenge, anger, but De la Cruz was not seeking revenge, and he manifested jealousy when he talks about Héctor's family for getting in the way of their career. In both classic and modern literature, the use of poison is heavily related to crimes commited by either women or by sexual deviants (by the standards of the books) we have people like the Evil Queen in Snow White or Olenna Tyrell using poison and so is Oberyn Martell from the Game of Thrones' universe. And for a man so famous and desired as he was, and coming from a very conservative society at his time this is strange for me, because I am Latino, and I understand where he comes from the fact that a macho like him never had family is just culturally weird.
a man of many lovers, but we don't see him interact with any woman outside of his performances, sure it is painted as if he was career driven, but even career driven men have family, bastard sons, yet we have no implication these ever existed. It is heavily implied that Ernesto De la Cruz was the classical stereotype of Macho Latino, a.k.a. To support this theory we also have to take the fact that all the offerings he recieved during el Día de los Muertos came from fans, but when the movie is over it is implied he has been forgotten, why? Sure someone would probably still remember him, and leave offerings to him somewhere, I mean we see a guy getting offerings from his dentist. The question implies not only that he didn't know he had a great great grandson, but that he had any descendants at all. When Miguel meets Ernesto he claims to be his great great grandson, to which he replies to never have known he had a great great grandson, now, we're led to believe Ernesto had many lovers, but we surely never see any of those female lovers, nor his kids, nor his grandkids, therefore leaving no evidence that De la Cruz ever had descendants. How do I prove this? These are my arguments: It's not like he was going to starve, so why kill him? My theory: He was in love with him and the idea he would choose his family over him made him jealous to the point of murder.
See there's this thing that bothered me while I watched Coco, Ernesto De la Cruz and Héctor where already known musicians by the time Héctor died, in fact it is implied they've been touring for years which led Héctor to become estranged from his family, which prompted him to abandon music and return to Imelda and Coco.Īnd here's the thing, Ernesto could have easily done what every other musician did back in those days, which is to hire someone new to write their songs, sure, Ernesto had the heart, but their songs where already made and they were known to their fans, Ernesto could have just keep playing those songs while making new songs with other artists.
