Corpse Bride

Went to watch Corpse Bride yesterday. Seems like the crowd of movie go-ers is getting lesser. The last movie, 神話 had only my aunt, taekawndo kid and me. Yesterday, only taekwando kid, my brother and me showed up. The staples are of course, my cousin and i.

For those of you who have not watch Corpse Bride, please do, its a very nice show.

Warning : Corpse Bride spoiler ahead.



Its kind of a tragic love story. If you've watched Phantom of the Opera, you'll probably know why i love Corpse Bride.

The show begins with an arrange marriage and the bride and groom hadn't met each other. They were rather apprehensive at first but slowly, the beginings of the stirrings of love made their way into their hearts. But there was one problem however. The groom couldn't memorise his marriage vows well enough to get married.

And so he goes off into the woods, repeating, reciting trying to get it right. He reaches the site where corpse bride resides (still inanimate at that time) and manages to get the marriage vows right, slips the ring onto corpse bride's finger and in the most accidental fashion gets married to corpse bride instead. "Til death do us part" : )

A love triangle then arises, the bride, groom and corpse bride. And the ending? Watch it : p

Personally, if i were the scripter, i would have made some kind of a twist on the "Til death to us part", but then again, the simplicity of the plot and storyline is refreshingly appealing. Not everyone appreciates complex cartoons.
