Honestly, I don't think Ernesto is passionate about playing his music. He's passionate about being famous; that's what keeps him going. When Hector was going to leave, Ernesto had a feeling of "if he leaves I can't be famous!" and did what he deemed was necessary to make sure no one could stop him from getting famous. Ernesto is a brilliant actor. Example: when Ernesto and Hector are walking to the train station, he removes the guitar as if to help lighten the amount Hector was carrying. Instead, he took the guitar so he could steal it.

[@skylerricketts7392]

Hector could have just been a ghost writer, he could have wrote songs for hiss family but still wrote then for Cruz as a ghost writer, meaning he would get no credit but he wasn't getting credit anyway. Most songwriters that are ghost writers are fine with no credit as long as they get a cut of the profits, with the way Cruz became popular Hector would be getting high ammounts in royalty, and he would get to stay with his family. So basicslly, if the two had just worked it out, Cruz would still be famous and not a murderer that is disgraced (as we see at the end) HEctor gets rich and lives with his family, Maybe the wife will make a shoe business and the family could chose between making shoes or being songwriters, idk. But it sounds like that would be a way better siduation for them both. Miguel would also be encouraged to study music and Coco would have her father.

[@dexterdamonkey]

From a psychologist's point of view: Ernesto wants love/positive attention; from a small town in the middle of nowhere, with Hector as a best friend - a man who won his love's heart and makes his child laugh, a man with so much love in his life, and he got it from music. So smooth Ernesto decides to copy him. Beliefs from that age never disappear, they only get cemented. the real question is what his childhood life was like,was he an orphan or neglected, does he even have ancestors to remember? In a city where remembering your ancestors or being forgotten is the worst case scenario, having no one and being no one can be horrifyingly traumatic. Pps: everything Ernesto says as the Hero of Music is an act. What he thinks people want to hear, a story he tells to himself and others. It's not real. In film or protagonist - we are all spectators of Ernesto’s greatest fear.

[@faraimufuka4977]

Spoken like a true poet

[@ThatOneLadyOverHere]

Honestly I think he is a lot like Ted Bundy. Like you said, everything was an act, he was super charismatic, the only time we saw his act pulled down was when he threw Miguel off the building, even after that the act went right back up. When he had the guards take Miguel away the act was there, I don't think the guards realized that Miguel was going to die from that. The more I think about Ernesto's life (how quickly he decided to kill Miguel when Miguel couldn't have actually harmed his reputation, how premeditated killing Hector was), the more creeped out I get. I think he was a serial killer, he just killed anyone that could possibly pose a threat to his career. He's a psycho.

[@christianmarshal6117]

I think that Earnesto did regret that he killed his friend, the movie shows the person being poisoned spitting out the drink and attacking the poisoner so maybe deep down he wished Hector noticed the poison. You can also see signs of his humanity shining through when the security is dragging him out and he tells them not too hurt him. However, in the end his greed and his love of the fame and glory were greater then his guilt and his compassion for friends and family which is why he left his friends and family at home, murdered Hector and even in the land of the dead with a final chance for redemption tried to silence Miguel. In a way seeing his humanity peeking through makes Earnesto an even eviler character. He knows what he’s doing is wrong, he knows he is hurting those around him but keeps on going anyways.

[@keddakedda7939]

I think that what’s make a true villain so interesting is that they know of thier crime yet they still look ahead

[@chicketteplats9797]

Kedda kedda Mhm sounds like HawkMoth to me..

[@ricekrispies1917]

Seeing as how quickly he snatched and then was reluctant to give the photo of Hector back, even if it was just so he could at least have the opportunity to see his daughter one last time before he died again, I don’t think he felt guilt. If he did he wouldn’t have tried to recreate the scenario by trying to kill his own Grandson (he tried to kill Miguel twice actually!). As much as I wish Ernesto did show himself doubting his actions a little, he really doesn’t. Even after his betrayal came to the surface he still continued to call Hector “friend”, which was a lot more chilling than I had expected it to be. But the scene of him drinking the poisoned drink in El Camino A Casa was definitely a wreckless move. I’m thinking it was added in that way to sort of romanticize the memory and justify his own actions by placing himself as the hero in that situation. You know, put himself in the good guy’s shoes so he could both believe and appear to the world that he was. Lol sorry this is so wordy, it’s just really fun analyzing characters. For me at least, I usually think it’s the villains without a hint of humanity who appear like they are the most frightening to me because that means nothing can hold them back. They’ll twist good and pure things into something monstrous and menacing. Like, just Ernesto calling Hector his friend throughout his entire appearance even until the end still kinda haunts me

[@christianali5431]

The truth may be even scarier than that. He directed a part of one of his movies to have it that two friends drink a toast together, only for one of the glasses to be poisoned, and the hero of the story to survive the situation, solve the mystery, and beat the bad guy. This, in effect means that if and when anybody found out what he did to Hector, and they tried to tell somebody about this matter, anyone and everyone they told would simply shrugged his shoulders and say “si,si. I saw that movie too. It is just a movie though. It’s not real life.“

[@hannahskeldon7944]

Then how come he didn't give the photo back to Miguel when Hector told hI'm he just wanted to see Coco before he died again, and why didn't he give Hector credit for his songs and why was he willing to kill a child twice?

[@Jessi-gx7wk]

I'm pretty late to the game but there are a few things that really made me think while watching the movie. One thing would be that Ernesto must've planned on killing Hector sooner or later, because why else would he have poison standing around like that? My guess is that if Hector didn't leave and Ernesto became famous, he would kill him at this point so nobody will ever know that the songs aren't Ernesto's. Also why is Hector only wearing rags in the world of the dead? He was wearing pretty fancy clothes when he was killed, so I think Ernesto either stole Hector's clothes and hid them somewhere or he changed his clothes so Hector's dead body would look like the one of a tramp in case somebody finds him. And the last thing is about the question wether or not Ernesto felt bad about what he did..... my theory is that he didn't, never. If Hector really was his best friend he probably knew about Coco's and Hector's secret song and what it meant to Hector. So stealing even *that* song (remember me) after killing his best friend, knowing that Hector wrote that song only for his daughter, whom he never will see again, is pretty messed up. And after running out of songs to sing Ernesto started producing movies. Movies about how he wants to be potrayed (like the good guy, a hero). So the murder of his best friend was only a convenient story he could use for one of these movies. If that shows anything, it's how manipulative, uncreative and heartless Ernesto is.

So yes, Ernesto killed Hector because he needed his songs to get to where he was at in the movie.

The only answer for this is simple. It's a combination of jealousy and greed. Hector had a loving family and an amazing talent for music.

[@anythingyoucando1546]

I think that both of them have musical talent. Ernesto could only mimic emotions since he's a sociopath/psychopath. At best his ability to not just feel, but express those emotions are limited. He knew how to make others happy. Hector could not only feel, but express those feelings in the notes and words chosen. The two different renditions of the songs, Remember Me, shows this difference quite well.

[@marcthomas4488]

Thus the tragedy of Hector s death is worse! He showed empathy for psychopaths and was killed

[@ThatOneLadyOverHere]

The way that he sang Remember Me is what made it popular. Hector's version is much more heartfelt, but wouldn't have been mainstream. I like to compare Ernesto to Ted Bundy, who was super charismatic and the people that knew him could not comprehend that he would kill. Child molesters are another good example, they are often some of the people that parents trust most which is why the victims don't feel they can talk about it, they think no one will believe them. I think Ernesto actually had the capacity to act out those feelings he didn't have so well that everyone trusted him completely. And I don't think Hector was the only person he killed.

The murder was motivated by a need to take credit for what was not his work. He felt entitled and would not allow anything or anyone get in his way.

[@Disneyfan82]

However Ernesto was born or raised, he could have at least realized without family, there would be no one left to remember you, unless he actually wanted to find a way to pursue his dream as a musician without leaving or breaking his family's hearts, later raise a family of his own and when his time came, he would pass down his legacy to his children and grandchildren to never let them forget that fame and fortune are nothing without family and friendship to come first.

The whole Ernesto believes his existence is valid with music thing because he had little to no relationships is actually pretty dark. Before he got into music, did he have an abusive family? Did he even have a family? Did he have depression? Reply what you think.

[@kayalandry2249]

I always thought that Ernesto and Héctor were both orphans and have been like brothers. When Héctor decided to leave Ernesto, the latter might've thought he was not only losing the fame he tried to gain, but also his only family.

[@silvermoon2134]

Hector and Ernesto. The tragic friendship between a Hufflepuff and Slytherin. Ernesto’s downfall was his ambition, he wanted the fame and glory. He wanted to be remembered as one of the greatest musicians of all time. Ernesto was the type who would do anything to “seize his moment”, and anyone who came in between him and his reputation was a threat. Based on Hector’s description of playing for the world, I don’t think he cared much for it. Hector loved music and had a natural gift for it, but he wasn’t the type to seek out glory. His downfall was unfortunately his loyalty. Ernesto probably was the one who kept pushing Hector, begging him to join him on this tour. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ernesto brought up that with fame, came riches and opportunities that Hector could provide for his family. And with Hector’s devotion not only to his friend, but to his wife and child as well, it’s no wonder he’d leave on the tour for their sake. The tragedy was when their two greatest qualities conflicted with one another, and Hector and his family were the ones left suffering.

Hey!.im slytherin and i would never go to such great lenght. People forget we also have merlin

I'd sort Ernesto into Gryffindor rather than Slytherin. Ernesto was a bombastic show-off who killed his best friend for his shot at glory. Slytherins can be vicious and cruel--but they ALWAYS look after their own. Loyalty to your in-group is a Slytherin trait. Ernesto didn't have that. He was Peter Pettigrew.

[@dark_magicks4437]

I am really offended by the fact that you used Ernesto as a slytherin IM a slytherin and I would never go to those lengths to win fame and glory your thinking of a gryffindor also me and my 4 YEAR best friend are a slytherin and a hufflepuff and we would NEVER do anything to each other your thinking of peter pettigrew

[@madison7327]

When you watch the movie again, go to 1:05:24-1:05:54. When you watch that scene, look at Ernesto the whole time. He looks at the photo for a pretty long time. His expression when Hèctor is talking to him about the past are showing that he is conflicted with a helping his childhood friend from being completely forgotten. But, if he helps Hèctor, he thinks it will ruin his status of fame. He is truly stuck as his eyes show it, he is looks at the photo with little remorse, and he's sighing that he is trying to find a way to help Hèctor. I truly think he does regret for murdering his best friend. When Hèctor tried to get Miguel to put his photo up on a ofrenda, Ernesto realized that Hèctor is close to his final death and he thinks that murdering him was the cause of it. Like Isaac said, Ernesto didn't end Hèctor life maliciously, he kill him for Hèctor's songs and guitar(without thinking about the destruction of Hèctor). He knew that deep down it was wrong and regrets to see his friend about to be forgotten.

[@ninjahotdog9036]

[@LtBasil]

How was Hector supposed to know that the liquor was poisoned? Ernesto had been his best friend since they were kids. He knew Ernesto. He trusted him. They were practically brothers. Even with such a big argument, Hector had no reason to think that Ernesto would hurt him. That's probably part of why he reacted so violently when he learned the truth.

[@melancholyezrahamilton5577]

I showed this movie to my sister who didn't like Ernesto from "the get go" She also knew a bunch of things about Disney tending to highlight the villains in lime green. She spoiled the whole movie for herself by the time competition started down to the fact the Hector was actually Miguel's great great grandfather. Then there's me who is always surprised at plot twists that rarely surprise eight year olds. And I'm also the one that wants to be a detective... XD

My question is he needs Hector's songs (totally agree) but after he murdered Hector where would he get new songs? It's not like Hector penned songs from beyond the grave and sent them to Ernesto.

[@stormbreak7003]

Well he probably lied to the public that he is making new songs while in reality he waited every 3 or 4 months and made the "new song" public. Also he sang the same songs over and over again cuz "remember me" was popular so he probably sang that many times

[@hannahskeldon7944]

He might have found another songwritter.

[@kateAkaGunner]

@@hannahskeldon7944 if that's the case then why not just do that to begin with. The way the movie is told he never had any songs but Hector's so he screwed himself over.

[@seanwhitaker5164]

Am I the only one that genuinely thinks Ernesto could, to a degree, be a psychopath? He's got the charm, the inflated sense of self worth, he's a good enough liar to fool lots of people, he's manipulative, I really don't think his guilt or remorse for Hector was as fake as his career. Why I say I think he didn't feel guilt is he got Miguel taken off, even when fully under the belief Miguel was his great-great-grandson. He quickly turned sour when Miguel found out the truth, and used a line Miguel took seriously as motivation (seize your moment), he refuses to take responsibility from my personal view, and he's a criminal. He tried to kill a 12 year old for getting in his way and did so without much remorse. If you've seen Infinity War, you'll get what I mean with this sentence, even Mantis said "He mourns!" after Thanos did a very similar thing, but Ernesto only cared when he realized it was broadcasted and even then, it was caring about how HE looked, not how Miguel was.

[@runningwithrazors4470]

answer for the question of the day: no i doubt he does, he goes about his life (and after-life) without so much a thought for his old "amigo". i really think he doesn't care about hector what if he was a sociopath who just wants to be successful with the love of all. just a thought

Interviewer: So Ernesto, what do you identify as? Ernesto: Music

[@debbieevans635]

I don’t think he regretted it, he knew what his dream was and he wasn’t going to let anything stand in his way.

[@LadyAiPhantom]

I admit Ernesto is a passionate musician but his heart was more reliant on Hector's lyrics. If Ernesto tried creating his own lyrics he would've been as successful as his voice (or maybe he's more into the fame and fortune than creating music himself). 👍I think, just as you said in your theory, a part of Ernesto de la Cruz did regret for a split moment. But he wanted the world to know him as the greatest musician ever amd without Hector's songs he became desperate. He didn't want people to forget him as a one hit wonder; Ernesto de la Cruz wanted to become a legend.

[@Disneyfan82]

He may have the singing talent as a musician, but not the heart and soul of a true musician. He would have known that being a true artist means writing your own songs and finding your own inspiration instead of gaining fame and fortune the dishonest way. A true legendary figure does not rely on fame and popularity, but on what they stand for in knowing what life is really all about.

[@ywqhewzc]

"Gosh Ernesto that's not un poco loco” Yup that is MUY LOCO

[@AishaVonFossen]

I just saw Coco a few days ago, and yes, I am in love with this movie. :) I think I can understand wanting a dream so badly that you feel at times you'll fight tooth and nail to get it. I am a writer, and one day I want to be a bestselling novelist, and when I was younger, that dream was almost killed multiple times by my dad, but in the end, that only made the dream stronger. :) However, holy hell, Ernesto, if you wanted to keep a part of Hector alive, you wouldn't have killed him! There are good and bad things to be said for wanting to do anything to make your dream a reality. And yes, the human mind can be so twisted as to rationalize any deed, good or bad, to achieve your goals. And I can agree that Ernesto did believe he knew what he did was wrong, but I don't think he felt any remorse for it, especially since he was exactly the same in the Land of the Dead, if not worse. He knew that was what he felt he needed to do to achieve his dream. While he may see himself as a villain of some kind, I think he was even more his own hero, since no one really sees him/herself as being bad. I'm always reminded of Palpatine's attitude in Revenge of the Sith, when he started swaying Anakin over to the dark side. Anakin tried to make the argument that the Jedi are a force for good, but Palpatine said they were only good from their point of view, which means the other side, the Sith, and other wrongdoers, see themselves as in the right. Whether Ernesto knew he was wrong or not, he still did what he did feeling completely justified within himself. In the case of Ernesto, I think we've all seen this kind of psychopathic behavior before, whether we've met these kinds of people or not. Psychopaths or sociopaths are excellent liars and manipulators, and they will say or do anything to look the ways you want them to look if that means it will move them forward in their ulterior motives. So when Ernesto gave Hector all those compliments ("I would move heaven and earth for you" I think was definitely him being cocky and saying he could get away with anything, because yeah, for a long time, in this world and the next, he kinda did), those were all just things he knew Hector and others would have liked to hear from him. And, despite all this, though, I'm gonna come out and say this right now, Ernesto is charming as hell. I mean, OMG he's hot! LOL But actually, that's what makes him all the more dangerous. It's often really attractive people who possess Ernesto's traits that are the most alluring and believable. Then when they're exposed, it can be heartbreaking to see that someone who seemed so charming and beautiful could turn out to be so awful, like they were just too good to be true. I kinda got that vibe as I watched how nice Ernesto was pretending to be when he met Miguel, he was too nice to him and so quickly, I thought, what's your angle? Besides, at that point, we had so much more of the movie to go and I knew we had to get to know more of Hector, so naturally something was amiss. XD Anyway, my two cents on this guy. Great video! :D

[@OMartinez91]

I really loved this. The plot twist and reasoning just feels sonmuch like something from Mexico's Golden Age of cinema, which is what Ernesto's movies are a homage to since a lot of artists from that era also made movies as well, where they featured their songs, either creating a songtrack for them, or basing the movies on them. That being said, from my knowledge of what I know from that type of cinema, if this is directly inspired by these movies, Ernesto's motivations just seem egotistical. He was willing to share the spotlight with Hector because Hector was going to be his ticket to fame, but since Hector was going to leave him, he saw it as betrayal, so he poisoned him, and tricked Hector into thinking his stomach pain was due to bad chorizo, that way Hector would not go to the doctor and get an antidote on time. That last part is what makes me think Ernesto thought Hector betrayed him, or at least betray him later, as Hector is also a talented artist himself who was also an excellent songwriter, and if he was to be on his own, Hector could easily overshadow Ernesto. He claims he could never hate him, but I believe that is a lie

[@kathrynmanuel1285]

Ernesto is a well writen character that i love I feel perhaps ernestos past before music his family was not loving or maybe he was an orphan. Perhaps Hector could of writen songs for ernesto to use on tour while keeping the ones he loves the most to himself. The last part i feel is they were more like brothers that sadly later on were broken yet i feel Hector needs a moment alone with ernesto that is much bigger than the film gave them especially there past.

Movie: *beautiful music in the background, jus downright graceful* “Ernesto de la Cruz, what did it take to seize your moment?” Issac: *juts cuts in and ruins the peaceful scene* “EVERYTHING.”

[@DarkLadyJade]

The thing I like about the Coco movie is that everyone is complicated, including Ernesto. I still think Ernesto had planned to kill Hector before he did it, but perhaps hypothetically. Kinda like 'Hector keeps talking about wanting to go home, maybe I should kill him so he can't leave lol'. You know, morbid humor on his part. Until Hector could no longer be persuaded to keep touring, and then Ernesto's fear of not obtaining his dream made him finally make the hypothetical scenario a reality. But I also think Ernesto hid/dumped Hector's body somewhere (this is why I think Hector is seen in his shabby clothing, unless he changed his clothes after death because his mariachi outfit was a painful reminder of what he had lost), because he knew if he got found out it would end his dream forever.

If you didn´t knew it because there is no official information about it, just watch the Night on the Bald Mountain segment where he appears, and notice how though there appears some beautifull flame women, he ends changing them into several things untill they acheived the most perfected form which are some blue MALE satyrs, totally nude and seen from behind that looks a lot like him, but withouth the wings, and just then he is more PLEASED and the music and scene goes into a crazy frenzy. I liked the extra information set in House of Mouse sketches where it seems he is somewhat between true evil or actually a very mischiveous being that loved being nasty and darkness, yet NOT PITCH DARKNESS, as he actually feared absolute dark!! I wonder how he could be portrayed in the propossed new live-action movie based upon his movie segment, if he is gonna be very similar as the original, or might have some larger background and maybe even unexpected and missunderstood, as it has happened with Maleficent before.

[@blazebardgames5939]

I think that Ernesto’s “The music isn’t just in me; it IS me” wasn’t so much his own identity as he wanted other people to see him as a creative genius. I also think the reason why he put the murder he committed into one of his movies (but with himself as the hero) is the same reason he needed Hector to write songs for him: while Ernesto is a great performer, he’s actually not that good at coming up with original ideas. I agree that Ernesto probably didn’t have much of a connection to any family he had in Santa Cecilia. In fact, if he grew up in an emotionally neglectful family, that would explain why he went to such extreme lengths to get fame: if he couldn’t get validation from his own family, he would get it from being admired by the world. But I doubt that he regretted anything he did - at least not while he was still enjoying the perks of the fame that he literally killed for - because if he had, it probably wouldn’t have been so easy for him to attempt to kill Miguel. If it was really Ernesto’s intent to keep a part of Hector alive by singing his songs, I think he would’ve given Hector the credit he was due. Also, being able to rationalize malicious actions doesn’t make them not malicious. Lastly, fun little Coco Easter egg: the town of Santa Cecilia is named after Saint Cecilia, the patron saint of music and musicians.
