Dream, dream

Dream, dream....
There are 2 Pixar movies, that left a deep imprint in my heart, in particular about dream.

One is UP. In the story, Carl idolizes the famous explored, Charles. As the matter of fact, his love story, marriage life revolves around his dreamy obsession of that Charles and the place he explores.

They have a happy love life. Very happy, indeed. They love each other till they grow old and his wife passes away. They plan to go for the adventure, but they never make it happen, as they do not have enough money and the saving they have is always used for something important.

But, when old Card has the chance to explore and finally he arrives at the place of his dream and the idol he admires, the dream is shattered to pieces. The idol is not the hero he imagines, and at the end the happy place is not the place of his "initial" dream.

It's the same for Coco. Little Miguel has a dream to be musician, even though music is curse in his family. His idol is Ernesto de la Cruz, who later he thinks is his great great grandfather. 

He gets a chance to meet him, in the Land of the Dead. He enjoys the basking of fame and sense of importance for a while. Until he realizes who the man that he thinks is his great-great grandfather really is. Until he realizes who is his real great great grandfather and what really matters in life. At the end not even his passion, fame, success matter - he realizes that family and love matter.

Such a beautiful plot. 

There is one thing needful above all our dreams. Seek that one thing first and all other things will be continuously increasing in your life.
