At first I thought adrenaline. Girl just sang and danced with security and a murderer (who she pwned 3x, you go girl) in front of thousands of people. Who wouldn’t get high?
But it wouldn’t explain how it transpired from this:
I just love this move of Ernesto’s so much, ok. He doesn’t just let go of Miguel’s hoodie, he shoves it away from himself. He’s going through a moment of pure rage where he also feels threatened and this movement reflects his state of mind just beautifully. I can’t help but marvel at this sort of thing because there were so many possibilities to go with about this simple gesture but like this, it feels just right. The way movements, gestures and expressions have been animated for this film is simply fantastic to me and I love it with all my heart.
