Laughing and drinking poison

Victor's parents arranged a marriage for their son, and his fiancée was Victoria, a fallen noble lady. Victor is introverted and sensitive and not good at expressing himself, so he came to the grove to rehearse the oath ceremony in secret on the eve of the wedding. However, an accident happened. When he put the ring on a branch on the ground, he was surprised to find that the branch turned into a rotten finger! Victor was in shock, and a zombie bride appeared in front of him as the ground shook. And this rotten finger is growing on her body.
The Zombie Bride sincerely says that she is Victor's legal wife. Victor was amazed, and slowly learned that the woman had died on a wedding night, where she had been waiting for her husband to arrive.
In the grove, Victor not only met this woman, but also saw a happy and peaceful atmosphere in this world of the dead. He was deeply infected by the scene in front of him, and his fear gradually dissipated. However, between two worlds, two brides, how should Victor choose?

This is the movie "Zombie Bride" that I watched at night. I have never been afraid to watch movies related to ghosts, even cartoons. But the story was so special that I had to bite the bullet. After watching it, I just feel: Fortunately, I didn't miss such a good movie.

Even though the tone of the whole film is very gloomy, the gloom is only superficial. You will feel warm when you look at it, you can't help laughing, and you will be moved to tears.
I have to say that the director's perspective is really unique, changing the angle of the underworld that used to be eerie and terrifying, and the design is full of fun. The skeletons inside have their own bar, where they will eat and drink, hold welcome ceremonies to welcome new members (that is, those who have just passed away), and will dance jazz and sing rock in the bar. Cute~ Looking at it, you will feel that dying is just going to another world to continue living.
There is a scene where the skeletons come to the world in costumes to attend the wedding, the whole world is in chaos, and the living people recognize the dead relatives from fear, the skeleton grandfather hugs the little grandson, the old lady hugs the skeleton wife who died 15 years ago, the reunion The scene is very warm.
That little zombie bride made me horrified at the beginning: wearing a white corrupt wedding dress, dark blue eyes, hands like dead branches, and a cold expression. Later, he gradually fell in love with this simple and kind little zombie. I can't help but think about what a lovely girl she must have been when she was alive. Why did that damn man have to live up to her and take her life?

Maybe this is how different people treat love. Some people's vows are very fragile, some people believe in everything kindly, some people can easily turn around without any reluctance or guilt, and some people have to wait for a long time to be liberated.
Her perseverance, her simplicity, her tenderness, her anger, and her accomplishment all moved people's hearts. She was injured in love, and even lost her life because of the betrayal of the person she loved most, but she still believed in love, still wearing the white mother's wedding dress that she wore on the day she eloped with him, still waiting for someone One day someone is willing to put a ring on her with their own hands.
The wait was so long it was frustratingly long.
Then she got it.
Then she lost.
But she still smiled, she said: "You set me free. Now I can do the same for you."

A very unforgettable scene: She climbed the balcony of Victoria's house hard, and Darling in her mouth has not finished calling , lifted the veil but saw her husband with a living girl. Innocently waiting for Victor to introduce himself, he stretched out his hand and showed the ring proudly saying that he was his wife, but Victor grabbed her skeleton hand and hurriedly explained to the strange girl "She's died. Look." She Injured, brought Victor back underground. She finally understood that there was a life-or-death gulf between her and Victor. Lying alone on the dilapidated bed, she sang "My heart is no longer beating, but my tears can't be shed..."

Love is drinking poisonous wine with a smile.
Maybe we can say it's a zombie version of "The Ghosts" or "Romeo and Juliet" or "The Daughter of the Sea." Because it does feel familiar when you watch it. But Corpse Bride is Corpse Bride. It still has a unique brilliance that is not inferior to the above classics.
While watching and thinking about many endings, how should Victor choose?
The end result is like that. Maybe it's not the most perfect ending, but it's still beautiful.

And that wedding vow is beautiful:
"With this hand, I will lift your sorrows. Your cup will never empty, For I will be your wine. With this candle, I shall light your way in darkness. With this ring, I ask you to be mine."
Even if it can't be realized, maybe you can hear it with your own ears, and you will be happy once.
This is why so many people choose to believe and sink even though they know that the oath is unreliable.
