Corpse Bride

Victor and Victoria are part of an arranged marriage and their wedding is approaching.  At the rehearsal, Victor can’t nail his lines, so the priest sends him away to learn them.  Strolling through the woods at night, he practices his vows, recites them perfectly, and places the ring on a twig.  Except, of course, it isn’t a twig, it’s the finger of a dead bride-to-be.  Victor finds himself married to a corpse and is drawn into her world of the dead, which is far livelier and more colorful than the drab world of the living he comes from. 

This was a beautiful movie.  The world of the living is very drab, with few colors and nothing fun going on.  The world of the dead is filled with fun characters, gorgeous colors, and lots of great music.  The story itself is no surprise, but there are several unexpected and funny moments.  This one may not be worth renting for the plot, but the claymation, colors and music more than make up for its other shortcomings.

There is always something in between a love of 2 people from different cultures.
But at love between the man and woman, these distinctions are erased. They I wish to find out each other. Also there are very many families, which are happy.
And I want the same marriage. I search for the husband, and it will be not important to me in what country he to live.
