Marry My Dead Body

There must be a reason why this movie is so popular in Taiwan. I had high expectations before I entered the theatre and I was not disappointed. I know the reason now.

First, the cast is perfect. Love the cast. They have a great chemistry together. Greg Han Hsu is amazingly great and sexy in this film. Po-Hung Lin and Gingle Wang also did a great job.

Second, the film is entertaining. There are so many laughable scenes. While some are outdated, but still work. The story is perfect for me. The film delves into many issues. It is about gay, posthumous marriage and also FAMILY. I mean the ending wasn't hard to guess, but is touching nonetheless. I cried so hard.

I wish same-sex marriage can be legal everywhere, and everyone can give their love and support to this.

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.

Whilst out pursuing a speeding joy rider, Wu Ming-Han picks up a red envelope, an envelope that binds him to a ghost wedding, to another guy, after refusing, he discovers a life of misfortune, only an acceptance can change things.

I'm not sure I was expecting such a progressive film to come out of Taiwan, but that's exactly what it is, very progressive, very open minded, and very funny.

I didn't think it was going to be my cup of tea, but I thoroughly enjoyed it, lots of fun, entertaining and at times surprisingly moving. Two hours long, and it flew by, I even stayed up way past my usual bed time to complete it.

Wu Ming-Han is a likeable central character, he's fun, he's very cute, imagine being thrown into his situation.

8/10.

It's not about BL

The movie incorporates elements of fantasy, supernaturalism, and LGBTQ issues. It tells the story of Wu Ming-Han, a straight and homophobic policeman who is forced to marry Mao Pang-Yu, a gay ghost who died under mysterious circumstances.

The duo must work through their differences and join forces to solve a case, seeking justice for Mao and embarking on a ludicrous and tear-inducing journey together.

____ I loved this story, it's wonderful, and it made me laugh, cry, and thrilled.

The movie has so many things going on altogether but the good thing is that you will not get bored.

The movie delivers a message about family and love. Family is not only those who are blood-related, but also those whom we have bonded with and love. Love is not only between similar people, but can also happen between different people in every aspect.

With humorous scenes and touching moments, the movie has scored with audiences and become one of the most worth-watching films in Taiwan this year.

The film also portrays the importance of acceptance and understanding in relationships. It shows that in order to build a strong bond with someone, we must accept them for who they are, flaws and all. This message is exemplified through the characters of Minh Han and Mao Mao, who initially struggled to get along due to their differences but eventually learned to accept and appreciate each other.

Another theme explored in the movie is the idea of second chances. The characters in the film are given second chances to make things right and rebuild their relationships. This message serves as a reminder that it's never too late to make amends and start anew.

Overall, the film is a heartwarming and entertaining story that reminds us of the importance of family, love, acceptance, and second chances. It's a must-watch for anyone who enjoys a good mix of humor and emotion in their movies.
