**Spoilers** Corpse Bride

[Tekiel]

Just saw that yesterday and loved it!  The characters are a LOT like the Nightmare Before Christmas type characters, but that's to be expected.  It was nice to have Burton, Elfman, and Depp all in one movie.  There's something about those three working together that makes a really cool (and wierd) movie.

****SPOILERS****


You were warned.


I was a little concerned about how they could end it, though.  Depp's character seemed compatable with either of the girls, and for a while I thought the Corpse was better suited for him.  I would have liked to see him marry the corpse (can't remember her name) but I guess it's happier all around that he didn't.  My question, what happened to her when she turned into butterflies?  If everyone down there is already dead, where do the dead go when they're "set free"?

How bout you place SPOILERS in the title there?  That way people know.

It is done.

Was that a Spoiler of your intention?

I think you're way overthinking it.  I don't think that for as lighthearted of a movie as it was that there was any intention of explaining the butterfly bit.

So I finally saw this. I liked it, though I don't think the musical numbers were that great. They were nice, but forgetable.

I really liked the character of the Corpses Bride, Emily. She had a surprisng amount of depth. Victor and Victoria weren't bad either.

The only thing that really bothered me about this movie was the lame way that Lord Barkis Bittern dies. It would have just been better if Emily ran that sword through him followed by a witty one-liner. Bittern just came off as a foppish idiot by drinking the wine.

Which I think, 42, was what Burton wanted to show us.

But I did like the movie. And you're right 42, most of the songs were good, but somewhat forgetable at the same time. I did like the one when Victor was in the dead man's bar and the skeleton was all up-ins.

The part where the dead begin walking on the "land up there" and the boy confronts one of them with a "Grandpa?;" then they embrace. Freaking awesome touching scene. Made me choke a little.

I liked the movie, well everything but the musical numbers which were Direct to video release quality at best.

she made a vow lyin' under that tree, that she'd wait for her true love to come set her free

Is a quote that Bone Jangles *the skeleton with the bowler cap* makes. It relates to how the corpse bride turns into a bunch of raging butterflies.

Which doesn't really make any sense, because then her true love is Victor, and therefore Victor and Victoria weren't supposed to be together.

I think, mayhaps, Victor was more of a catalyst. Wherein we see at the end Barkis Bittern keel over, aka her once true love, dies. Then, with Victor's help, she is freed from her promise to herself.

Semantics are probably haphazardly used here.
