Mi boda con un fantasma

In fact, the cultural references are so good that it might feel like inside jokes that only ones who have lived the (cross) culture would get. Even though the less familiar audience would definitely still enjoy the storyline/plot and the acting, it worth to watch and rewatch it from the culture aspect to somehow get an idea how the current period of time is happening in East Asia. Social matters (this time, globally) were also mentioned and delivered gracefully (definitely without overdoing anything) along with the main theme, which personally makes me very interested in the screenwriter / director and go on checking out his other works.

A side note; the movie has extra(s) and cut-scenes posted on the internet as promotional materials for the main screening that made the story even more rounded - recommend to check them all out if you enjoy watching the movie.

This movie was so good, I genuinely don't know how they pulled off putting so many genres into a singular film. It had a platonic queer aspect, it was comedic, had the science-fiction, and action element.

It was so interesting seeing Ming's character development and the way they told their story was beautifully done, it's one of those movies we can be contempt with, like they didn't need anything else or for it to be turned into a show. I also like that their relationship wasn't sexual like we see this relationship develop between a straight guy and a gay guy that makes them into soulmates that doesn't revolve around a sexual relationship. They'd both die for each other and call each other husbands both comfortable with their sexuality not needing anything else to happen between them. I love that ming-han character matures and he's still dedicated himself to mao's causes and family. We see him start to actively support climate change, queer rights and his form of love for mao isn't something we usually see in bromance cinema.

Just watched this film on Netflix and was very impressed. Initially, I expected a light-hearted comedic little film, but it delivered so much more. It masterfully balances hilarious moments with heartfelt scenes.

The two main characters' gay-straight friendship was portrayed exceptionally well, highlighting the importance of acceptance and understanding in friendships despite differences.

I particularly appreciated that the main police character remained "straight" throughout, without resorting to the "turning gay" cliché trope just for the sake of romantic moments. It naturally includes LGBTQ themes without feeling forced, appealing to everyone, not just the LGBTQ community.

It's like the two-faced character in 'Two-Faced Man' played by Wang Jing, Although the topic of homosexuality was touched upon, since it's a universal value, personally I feel it didn't take away from the comedy aspect. The director, as usual, introduced contrasting characters in many police-catching-thieves scenes, creating a mix of tension and hilarious moments. Even though it's Xu Guanghan's first time playing a comedic role that sacrifices his image, he successfully portrays the frustration of a dedicated cop dealing with a less competent partner. Actually, there's a bit of Jackie Chan's Police Story vibe in it, but later on, it's all taken over by Wang Jing's brilliance.

Delivering a meaningful message throughout the movie, 'Marry My Dead Body' successfully stood up for the discrimination, the old concept of thoughts that put on Asian LGBTQIA+ Community in general say. The movie has a great plot, combined of such elements: comedy, humanity, family relationship... which blends perfectly to creat an amazing experience. The acting was charming enough to connect with the audience smoothly, great laughs and great cries. The praises are not enough for the whole crew who did the lights, the music, the colors.. There might be some scenes where the visual effects did not work properly but they did not affect the overall experience too much. A worth-watching movie for a weekend night!
