CORPSE BRIDE APPRECIATON POST

Hey guys :)
I randomly remembered this movie and decided to talk about it, because it's one of my favorite movies. Text from wikipedia.


In an unnamed fictional Victorian Era European village, Victor Van Dort (Johnny Depp), the son of nouveau riche fish merchants, and Victoria Everglot (Emily Watson), the neglected daughter of hateful aristocrats who have lost their money, are preparing for their arranged marriage, to raise the social class of Victor's parents and restore the wealth of Victoria's, even if they have concerns about marrying someone they don't know. They fall in love when they first meet, but the clumsy Victor ruins the wedding rehearsal and decides to practice his wedding vows in the forest, placing the wedding ring on a upturned tree root, that turns out to be the finger of a dead woman clad in a tattered bridal gown, who rises from the grave claiming that she is now Victor's wife. Spirited away to the surprisingly festive Land of the Dead, the bewildered Victor learns the story of Emily (Helena Bonham Carter), his new "bride," murdered years ago on the night of her secret elopement.
Wanting to reunite with Victoria, Victor tricks Emily into taking him back to the Land of the Living by pretending he wants her to meet his parents. She agrees to this and takes him to see Elder Gutknecht (Michael Gough), the ruler of the underworld, to send them temporarily to the Land of the Living. Victor asks Emily to wait in the forest while he rushes off to see Victoria and confess his wish to marry her as soon as possible. Emily sees the two of them together and drags Victor back to the Land of the Dead. Victoria tells her parents that Victor has been forcibly wed to a dead woman, but they believe she has lost her mind and lock her up in her bedroom. With Victor gone, Victoria's parents decide to marry her off to a presumably wealthy newcomer in town named Lord Barkis Bittern (Richard E. Grant), who appeared at the wedding rehearsal, against her will. And I won't tell the whole story here ;P
