The movie we'll watch scenes from tonight is touching and beautiful. You might cry. You've been warned. Tissues will be provided.

What would you do if the dream you loved most was the one your family wanted you to give up? And who would you most want to meet if you could spend one evening with the people your family still talks about? Join Chris, an IELTS instructor and communication coach whose clubs are always full of laughter and interaction, for a Watch & Talk of Pixar’s Coco. This beautiful, heartwarming film follows Miguel, a boy who dreams of becoming a musician despite his family’s ban on music. On Día de Muertos, he finds himself in a dazzling Land of the Dead, where he discovers how much he still has to learn about the people who came before him. The film has a special place in Chris’s heart: as a Mexican-American, he sees his own family’s culture reflected in its music, traditions and humour.

Through selected scenes and lively discussion, we’ll explore what families pass down, what we choose for ourselves and how we keep the people we’ve lost present in our lives. Can you honour your family and still disappoint them? What can a song remember that a photograph can’t? And how does Coco make room for laughter in a story about death? You don’t need to have seen the film or know anything about Día de Muertos. Chris will set up each scene, and you’re welcome to share a family story of your own or simply see where Miguel’s takes the conversation.

Let's sit back with good friends in comfy chairs and watch scenes from a film that continues to make grown men cry, and laugh, and think. And let's have a deep, fun and smart discussion about our mutual journey!

今晚我们要看片段的这部电影，又感人又美。你可能会哭。提前警告过了。纸巾会准备。

如果你最爱的梦想，正好是家里人想让你放弃的那个，你会怎么办？如果你能跟家里人到现在还念叨的那些人待一个晚上，你最想见谁？跟着 Chris 来一场观影聊片吧，看皮克斯的《寻梦环游记》。他是雅思老师，也是沟通教练，活动一向都是笑声和互动拉满。这部又美又暖的电影，讲的是一个叫米格的男孩，梦想成为音乐人，但家里禁止音乐。在亡灵节那天，他意外进了一个眼花缭乱的亡灵世界，在那里发现，关于那些先走一步的人，他还有太多要学。这部电影在 Chris 心里有特别的位置：作为墨西哥裔美国人，他在它的音乐、传统和幽默里，看到了自己家庭文化的影子。

通过精选片段和热闹的讨论，我们会聊家庭传下来什么、我们自己选了什么，还有我们怎么让已经失去的人继续留在生活里。你能不能既尊重家人，又让他们失望？一首歌能记住的，一张照片记不住的是什么？而《寻梦环游记》又是怎么在一个关于死亡的故事里，给笑声留出空间的？你不需要看过这部电影，也不用了解亡灵节。Chris 会把每个片段的前因后果讲清楚，欢迎你分享自己的家庭故事，或者就看看米格的故事会把聊天带到哪儿。

大家一起窝在舒服的椅子里，跟好朋友一起看一部到现在还能让成年男人哭、笑、想的电影里的片段。来一场深入、好玩又聪明的聊天，聊聊我们共同的旅程！
