Marry My Dead Body
Honestly, I don't have much experience with Chinese films, so you should take this opinion with a grain of salt. I did not like this. I thought for the most part the plot was entirely predictable, and even when it wasn't, it felt like it wasn't justified in terms of storytelling. The main idea of the film, isn't a bad one, but its execution seems very shoddy. And because it's a police drama, and is set in China, one is left with a bunch of questions about procedure. The police in this film act exactly as if they were in the United States, and I don't think that is entirely accurate. I think it's probably connected to the desire of the Chinese audience to see films, Chinese films, which act in a Hollywood way. But Hollywood movies are steeped in American culture, to put that into a Chinese context I think doesn't make a lot of sense. I think Korean cinema and dramas do a much better job of giving you interesting stories from a Korean perspective. But again, this is one of the few Chinese films I've actually seen, so I'm willing to admit that my opinion is not well-balanced.
