The opening sequence is all a Hollywood cliche. While Mexicans do celebrate DÃa de Muertos (no 'los' in the name), it's mostly a day where families gather to remember their dead loved ones at home or around a loved one's grave. No gigantic parades or allegory cars like the ones shown in the movie are ever used, nobody gets into costume (save for children in Halloween the night before) and the skeleton imagery used is decidedly European/North American as opposed to the more traditional Catrina. The music is also far more African sounding than any traditional Mexican music. Also an event this big would in real life involve closing streets 20 blocks away and a lot of policemen in riot gear lining the sidewalks.
