And remember how he aced it on his last try and him and Pang Yu had a Moment™??? And then Ming Han said 'is this good enough' and an imperceptible flash of sorrow darted across Pang Yu's face because he forgot it was just practice???? He looked so devastated for a split second!!

Funnier Than Expected

Watching Marry My Dead Body was a delightful fun time, I laughed more than I thought I would just because I never expected those scenes. Was is a good movie? It was okay. Personally, this felt more like a satire and you really just watch it for fun. Also, considering this was a crime film before it's a comedy film, there was no mystery or whatsoever with the plot. I simply cannot imagine anyone not seeing how the entire film plays out.

Going on to the cast, I don't watch a lot of Greg Hsu filmography but I am familiar with him and his works. Which is why, I was downright flabbergasted at Wu Ming Han; very impressed with Hsu's portrayal of Wu Ming Han. However, it was Austin Lin's acting that surprised me in the best way possible. Lin really brought Mao Mao all kinds of justice. I would say, watch the movie for Mao Mao, his character was extremely lovable and so very rich (in every sense except wealth but I digress). For the storyline, I would have hated it if Marry My Dead Body was a drama but Mao Mao alone could very possibly make the nonexistent drama fun. I went into the movie for the marriage plot and came out absolutely loving Mao Mao without caring about anything else.

That being said, I also think a big reason of why I enjoyed this film was also because I am both familiar with the language and the culture. I have a feeling, one who's not as familiar might not find this film as comedic as me.

Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3.5/5)

Just watch Marry my dead body. So damn funny!

[zucchan]

I just saw marry my dead body, 100/10 would recommend!

But how is it possible that no one has created a gifset of the nude pole dance scene? It was a masterpiece😂✨

I wish I was hallucinating this moment. Then maybe it wouldn't hurt as much.

It's not about what you say. It's about using your eyes.

"In historical context though-"

This book has potatoes and chilis in supply and demand when these were not traded until the late 15th century... and not used for cuisine and a foods crop cultivator in China well into the 17th and 18th century almost 200 years later. Folding fans that are seen abundantly were not popularized until the 13th century. Taoism was at its largest during the Warring States period of 450 BCE–c. 300 BCE with the epigram of Tao Te Ching. Confucianism became the abundant practice as of 206 BCE to 220 BCE with the authoring of The Analects. It uses fabricated province names for real world Chinese provinces that are relegated to a simple five, when there are of 22 (claimed) and have been the most stable to survive since the Yuan dynasty 1271-1368. Idioms used vary through the centuries and are still a staple of modern day vernacular. The version of futou Jin Guangyao alone wears was a wushamao (乌纱帽), used in the Ming dynasty 1368-1398. Futou was made a part of ministerial and court attire during the reign of Emperor Wu 560 BCE.

The author has said it has no standing Imperial Dynasty it takes place in and has borrowed aesthetics from the Han, Wei-Jin, Song, Tang, Ming and even Qing. All of which had seen several turns of dynasty from Han to Mongol to Han divine rulings. So no, there is no historical context to take in regard when it comes to Madam Yu's overt abuse, to Jiang Cheng's abuse, the clan's classisms and hypocrisy.

It was written in an alternate fantasy of China without this context of real world history and through the lens of modernity of its author. Do not use a history that does not pertain to a novel that is not has not and was never called historical.

If these really are the English subtitles on Netflix, Netflix needs to do better.

That’s a mistranslation. Mao-mao is actually saying his catchphrase: “Unbelievable!”, which he repeats throughout the movie. His catchphrase would work perfectly fine in English in this scene, goodness knows why Netflix didn’t translate it that way.

This is a continuation of my previous complaint about translations. I’ll mention it here too: in the bathroom ambush scene, Wu Ming-han repeatedly calls Mao-mao “gay guy”, according to Netflix. Wrong. He called him 死 gay, a derogatory phrase (kinda like “faggot”), which makes much more sense as to why Mao-mao went all out to piss him off/bully him into submission after that. Also, it’s part of Wu Ming-han’s character development from ass to husband, and I’m annoyed that Netflix deprived international viewers of witnessing this progress.

Could you mention the spirit foxes you know please? The best known is Su Daji, and I know the story of Jade Fox (she's so cool. She fought Erlang), but I've wanted to know more. I also knows about the fox spirits from Strange tales from a Chinese studio.

JTTW fox spirits die so fast sadly.

JTTW foxes are like the Red Shirts of demons

The earliest "maybe" fox spirit is Yu the Great's wife, the Girl of Tushan. Basically, when he arrived at Tushan, he saw a nine-tailed fox, heard the locals singing about it, and decided to marry a girl there.

There are two readings of the text: 1) the fox is just an auspicious sign from Heaven, telling Yu to get married, and 2) the fox is an avatar, or transformation of the Girl of Tushan. Later Qing legends certainly favor the second reading, with foxes referring to themselves as the descendents of Tushan.

The other "maybe" fox spirit is Chunhu("Pure Fox"), Houyi's wife. Now, I heard you asking: "But wait! Isn't Houyi's wife Chang'e?" Well...there are actually two "Yi" in Chinese mythos-history.

The "Yi" people are most familiar with, who shot down the Sun Crows, supposedly lived in the time of Sage King Yao, while the "Yi" married to Chunhu was from the Xia dynasty.

(Rough timeline: Yao —> Shun —> Yu the Great —> his son Qi, founder of the Xia dynasty)

Basically, Houyi usurped Qi's son, Tai Kang, and seized his throne, then Han Zhuo usurped and killed him while he was out hunting.

According to 左传 + Qu Yuan's 天问 and 离骚, Chunhu played a vital part in this: a dark-skinned beauty, she was originally Hebo's wife, until Houyi killed her husband with an arrow and forcefully seized her, then she plotted with Han Zhuo to murder Houyi and became his wife.

Since Chunhu could also be written as Xuanhu("Dark Fox"), some scholars suggested that her clan might have used a black fox as their totem or worshipped such a divine beast. Unlike the Girl of Tushan, the implication of her being an actual fox wasn't as strong, but she did fit into that "plotting temptress" stereotype that would later be connected to fox spirits.

There is this one strange trivia in the Northern-Southern dynasty 搜神记 that goes: "All foxes come from this one slutty woman in ancient times called Ah Zi(阿紫), who turned into a fox, therefore fox spirits often refer to themselves with that name too."

The Ming dynasty novel, 三遂平妖传, is all about this family of foxes and how they were behind Wang Ze's failed rebellion in the Song dynasty: "Sagely Old Lady", her daughter Hu Mei'er/Yong'er, and her son Hu Chu'er/Zuo Chu.

When they passed Wu Zetian's tomb, her ghost appeared in Sagely Old Lady's dream, telling her that she would soon reincarnate into a male body, and that Mei'er is actually the reincarnation of her paramour, Zhang Liulang, and they promised to be husband and wife in every life.

When she woke up, Mei'er was missing, so she just went on and cultivated 72 Daoist arts using the Heavenly Scroll this Egg Monk guy stole from a cave. Meanwhile, Mei'er landed in an enunch's garden, was adopted as his daughter, tried to charm the Crown Prince by disguising herself as a consort and got insta-killed by Guan Yu the guardian deity.

She reincarnated again as Yong'er, and reunited with Sagely Old Lady and her brother, who taught her Daoist arts and began to plot a rebellion. They managed to convince Wang Ze, a minor official, into leading it——who just happened to be Wu Zetian's reincarnation, so naturally Yong'er married him.

Alas, their rebellion was not to be: Egg Monk, disgusted by their behaviors, left to seek help from the Mystic Lady of the Nine Heavens, and, with the arts she taught, crushed the rebels.

Yong'er and Zuo Chu got struck dead by divine thunderbolts, while Sagely Old Lady was spared thanks to her fellow heavenly foxes' pleadings, but sentenced to guard the Heavenly Scroll forever.

This wouldn't be the first time Wu Zetian was associated with foxes: in the Qing dynasty novel, Flowers in the Mirror(镜花缘), she straight up is the Heart Moon Fox(心月狐) incarnate, one of the 28 Lunar Mansions.

She reincarnated because the two Sui emperors kept complaining in the Underworld about how they were usurped by the Tang, until the Celestial Court went "Okay, fine, we'll send one of our own to usurp the Tang dynasty too. Happy?"

Which, like Daji, is very much in line with the "A powerful woman? *gasp* She must be a fox demoness!" literary tradition.
