Abstract
According to semiotic theories, symbols can be in the form of anything and may represent everything. Particularly in a movie, symbols are frequently featured throughout the scenes as the ‘language of film’ that aims to deliver certain message to the audience. In this study, the writer analyzes Coco movie which is rich for symbols, related to the culture of Día de los Muertos (The Day of the Dead). Several
theories such as Peirce’s Trichotomy Theory, Mise-en-Scène analysis, and other resources related to symbols and film are used in order to complete this study. There
are 20 Mexican culture-related symbols found in Coco, occur as visual and audible things. Further, the writer discovered that 8 out of the 20 symbols are proven to deliver reminiscence message. In this respect, three kinds of reminiscence message are communicated, classified as informative and the combination of informative�evaluative as well as evaluative-obsessive reminiscence. At the end of the research, the writer correlate the reminiscence message found with the hidden intention of Coco. The writer eventually concludes that the Mexican culture-related symbols featured in the movie are meant for two reasons. First, to introduce Día de los Muertos culture to the outsiders. Second, to teach the audience about the importance of reminiscence so the deceased loved ones’ memories are timeless for generations.Key Terms: semiotic, symbol, Peirce’s trichotomy theory, Día de los Muertos,
culture, reminiscence, message, mise-en-scène, Coco (2017)
