Corpse Bride.
I really loved it. I was drunk when I saw it, but I remember it quite well. Tim Burton has quite the imagination.
I didn’t think it quite compared to Nightmare, but then… nothing does. It was… very short. I somehow expected for it to be longer than an hour and a half.
It was cute! Very entertaining. I love Johnny Depp’s range as an actor. He really can play anything. Absolutely anything.
I really liked that it wasn’t really a musical. There was one song, explaining that she was jilted and would wait forever under that tree for her true love. I’m not clear on how she died, but again-I was drunk-so she could have starved to death or been hit by a car or something.
But anyway, the story was this: Emily gets jilted, Emily dies, Emily waits for her “true love” to find her beneath the tree. Victor is betrothed to Victoria [how cute] and has never met her, but when he does, they realize that they love each other and are not as scared as they should be to begin their lives together. Victor fumbles his vows, and goes into the woods to practice them, finally gets them right, and slips the ring onto a dead chick’s finger. She rises from the dead to claim him as her husband, and he’s scared. He tricks her into getting him back to see Victoria, and that makes her angry. He realizes that he’s her husband, and she’s not so bad after all. She realizes that the marriage isn’t valid, because he’s still alive. Her little worm that lives in her head tries to convince her to kill him so that their marriage is valid, but she loves him so she says no. He happens to overhear her, and agrees to do what it takes to make their marriage valid. In the meantime, in the land of the living, Victoria’s parents (who are dirt poor) decide to make Victoria marry someone who they think is rich (and who thinks they are rich) so that their name can be upheld. He learns that she’s poor and becomes angry. Back to Victor and Emily: During the marriage, which takes place in the land of the living, Victoria and the guy her parents decide to force her to marry barge in. Emily realizes that Victor and Victoria are meant to be and doesn’t make him kill himself to be with her. Emily sees Victoria’s new fiancée, realizes that that’s the guy who left her for dead, and he gets killed and gets what’s coming to him.
And they all live happily ever after.
…Except Emily, who happens to be dead.
Hahaha. I loved this movie. :) I must see it again.
