Hi Angela, my bestfriend is German. No Mexcian background all German. She put up her first Day of the Dead altar. She called to tell me how much she loved the experience.
in my case, regardless of how foreigners see our traditions, it is a tribute to my loved ones who left us, is a kind of gratitude for having been part of my life and family, and reward them with a gesture of kindness love with some beautiful memories and a smile
When I made my alter last year for my mom and uncle I felt more peace over their deaths then ever before. I find this culture of celebrating the lives of our lost family members more making sense to me. I'm not Hispanic at all. Thank you for teaching me how to mourn and learn my family is never really gone.😢
I never have before and am thinking about it for this year for my grandmother who just passed. She and I were very close before she got Alzheimer's. And also for my dad, brother, and uncle. Any suggestions?
@Hombre sin Nombre cómo supiste que sepa yo español jjj. Escribí en inglés. Las flores esas se llaman marigolds, creo. Pan de muerto sí se puede encontrar en los mercados de Facebook, se venden de sus casas o tal vez en una tienda latina y aquí tenemos varias. Hace cuánto intenté a hacerlo mi misma pero no supe cual método fue lo mejor. Gracias por su explicación. Le agradezco!
@@angelalong6619 suerte! Sí se puede! I'm living proof. You have to use many different avenues. Movies music language exchange chats and face chats, listen to Spanish radio, wake up with it and it'll be in your subconscious.
A lot of people are criticizing him but it's just something he doesn't know. He doesn't understand how can Mexican people talk about death and celebrate it like it's nothing, he's scared and it's obvious he remembers the people that has passed by only that fact: that they're dead. But I do think that when he got to sit with her and talk to the death that he really did got it, it's the release to finally talk to the person that is not here anymore as if they had never passed. I'm glad he got to experience that, the fact that he cried and thanked his wife's mom I'm sure he felt much much better. Give him a break, we Mexicans are used to this but other cultures see death people as 'scary ghosts' we don't. Try to understand guys.
My dads family is from Mexico and I really enjoyed that, it was nice to see the festivities and see the Englishman embrace the Mexican festival...Very well done..
This reminds me of home. Pretty much Mexicans and Filipinos celebrate the coming of the dead but Filipinos only have a feast and call them to come in our house. I think this is really fascinating and such a great way to celebrate of their returm cause we are treating them just like how people welcome their guest and its even special because its our loved ones that are coming back.
We don't celebrate they coming back from death, really all souls are alive and we commemorate that day, this day we can all come together enjoy the memories together and you can actually start feeling a closeness, emotions that maybe were left untold... an I love you or I miss you... is ok to feel and share. When you drink or eat, it's usually what the departed use to eat or drink. It's totally a commemorative feast to reminize and share the beautiful moments together, and take advantage of the ones that we are still here. May the love and peace of God be practiced always... God bless!
I whent to war and I can truly say that I was only scared....once, but I was not affraid, and I was certainly not affraid of dying. I was scared of the unknown and of the situation but I remember doing my duties to the best of my abilities and thought of the possiblity of death but that did not bother me now, because I was brought up in a culture believing that death is such an important part of life and that the dead should be remembered and honored.
Es algo que de verdad Se siente,cuando nuestros seres queridos Es tan de vuelta espiritualmente,todo es distinto el aire,el sol el dia,todo sabe distinto y podemos sentir que estan con nosotros!
Curiously tonight I feel my father's presence ,I call my mom and talk to her about it,and she told me that my dad died 4 years ago this same date Oct/13/15.
Gracias por el video, mostraste la cultura moderna en la quinceañera junto con el Mexico que está orgulloso por sus tradiciones y por esa misma razon las mantenemos.
I mean, he is british, he was trying to understand the meaning of this tradition, for itself can look a little bizarre. I do not think he was unrespectfull instead of that he was so respectfull and friendly.

Just a small correction. The ancient celebration is described as being Aztec. The descendents in this area are the Purhepecha and were enemies of the Aztec They were able to keep.their independence from Aztec rule.
It was a good documentary until he said, "If you were to die tomorrow would you still see death as funny?" My students who are mostly Mexican were offended and said it shows he just didn't get it at all.
They never once said anything about it being funny. It's a celebration, not fun, but spiritual connectivity. I found that to be offensive, and him saying he was in the room of doom at 8am. Other than that, the content of the documentary shows a lot.
If you understand the British when they say funny they could simply mean happy. He was not making fun of her. It is confusing for someone who has never been there and does not understand at all.
death we see it so different, when we gather to remember the loved ones that live in eternity, as Mexicans celebrate death lets keep this beautiful beliefs and tradition for other generations to come.
I don't understand why some people are calling him rude and disrespectful .He is trying to learn about a culture and tradition .If he didn't give a SHIT, He wouldn't of even been there in the first place.Example let say you are in a different country and you want to know about a certain culture and tradition . You are told not to step on certain stones ,somehow you end up stepping on these stones. People will turn it around quick and say you were disrespectful ,when actually you just made a honest mistake, by not being all familiar with this custom and tradition etc.
I made my first Dia De La Muerte alter last year and I can say I felt my mom around me and it gave me peace. 💜😢

You maybe right. My Spanish is improved. I'm starting to understand more from Univision.

See how beautiful the Mexican culture is and its people. They welcomed a strange man into ther homes. its what we do.
+Frank Gonzalez we are amazing
You're culture is beautiful and fascinating! I want to learn more!
Mi casa es tu casa🇲🇽
This is why I don't like it here in America sometimes; we just aren't that nice.
What a beautiful tradition we Mexicans have. I love this spiritual feast.

I fear that I may have to make an alter for my mother. But when that day comes I hope to feel her presence and love every year on Dia de Los Muertos.
Did you get to make an altar?
Beautiful Mexico

This is so wonderful. Thank you for celebrating such a beautiful custom.

I am so happy that I am mexican and celebrations like Dia de los muertos is a part of my culture and that I can experience it. =)

Ya viene el día de muertos, día muy especial en mi méxico, aunque algo triste ya que un buen amigo falleció este año :(

In this video you began to understand the tradition but in the second one he was a bit disrespectful
@@mr.fishstick_yt9955 ya he said the food looked like mud along with other things
@@unsuffer yeah that was really rude but honestly the mole did look like mud
@@mr.fishstick_yt9955 If we're being honest yes it did
Thank you!!!!!Very nice experience...

at least he felt something in the end...
Amazing
I love my culture!

I agree, shameful comment. Other than that, fairly accurate...
why? is a valid question, and isnt offensive at all. what is your perspective about death and the theme of the documetary?
Anybody out there that isn’t judgemental any more?
I didn.’t think so.
They never once said anything about it being funny. It's a celebration, not fun, but spiritual connectivity. I found that to be offensive, and him saying he was in the room of doom at 8am. Other than that, the content of the documentary shows a lot.

This is taking forever and I just wanna sleepppppp. Imagine having to try while doing ONLINE school like wtf
Insensitive.
Good luck I hope you passed!
