A Truly Masterpiece
Okay, here’s my review for MMDB —
1. The Plot :
The movie isn’t without its faults, though. There’s an undeniable excess in its runtime, making it feel a tad bit overstretched. And yeah, some of the CGI action sequences had me wishing they’d spent a little more on the tech. Still, it’s the sheer audacity of the plot and its refreshing take on acceptance that makes it a must-watch.
Let’s not forget the supporting characters that add layers to the story. Gingle Wang as Tzu-ching gives us an insight into the gender disparity in the workplace, making us applaud and also roll our eyes at how criminally underused she is.
2. Why It’s Important :
At a time when movies often play it safe, “Marry My Dead Body” pushes boundaries and embraces storytelling that’s more than just entertainment — it’s a statement. The movie portrays the power of change, the ability to confront one’s own prejudices, and the transformative nature of love, even in its non-traditional forms. As societal views progress, films like this act as markers, reminding us how far we’ve come and how far we still have to go.
3. Why It’s Different:
Most romantic comedies follow a well-trodden path: boy meets girl, they face challenges, they overcome them, end of story. But here, the narrative isn’t just about romance; it’s a dynamic journey that delves deep into acceptance, cultural shifts, and challenging deeply ingrained prejudices.
4. The Humorous Complexities:
Underneath its comedic layer, “Marry My Dead Body” hides a web of intricacies. From navigating the moral maze of acceptance to dealing with a mischievous ghost, the movie beautifully blends humor with complex issues. It tickles the funny bone while making the brain gears turn, a combination that’s as rare as it’s delightful.
5. Lessons Learn:
“Marry My Dead Body” isn’t just a quirky rom-com; it’s an ode to acceptance, understanding, and growth, beautifully disguised in a storyline filled with giggles, gasps, and a few heartfelt tears. It invites viewers to laugh, reflect, and most importantly, to grow. It is a testament to the evolving cultural landscape of Taiwan and a message to the world about the universal language of love and acceptance.
