There is a movie i like, that comes out around the holidays, called "Love Actually" Staring, Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, Liam Neisen, Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson and it considered a very touching heart warming story about love and why it is important to these people.
First off, I saw this movie in theaters when I was 19, almost TEN YEARS AGO!!! OMG I am old. I didn't know what this movie was going to be like. I found out immediately it took place around the holiday season, and it took place in England. It goes from one persons story to another. Liam Neisen plays a widower who just recently lost his wife (the tragic thing is he experiences it in real life when his actually loses Natasha Richardsen) He has to look after his step-son, who he tries his best to connect with, and he is in love with an American girl in school. He tries his hardest to connect with the kid, but being lovestruck, and heart broken from a sudden death doesn't help heal the relationship they're having.
Hugh Grant plays the prime minister in love with a juror member named Natalie, but she ends up being harrased (Sexually), but that doesn't seem to stop his true feeling and love for Natalie. Eventually he confronts her and they kiss in the finalie of a school play, the secret revealed. Seeing that he and she were meant to be.
Another story was about a guy who wants to go to America to see what it was like to fall in love with American girls after an incident happened long ago. Eventually he falls in love with a girl named "Harriet" who soon introduces her friend to his friend, Tony.
And much much more. Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson play husband and wife who is the prime minister's sister. They seem to be having a rough patch in their relationship.
It has been a while since I seen the movie, and I think that most of the stories are from one source, LOVE. Love can never die, love will never stop anything. Even if you want to show your affections of romance to someone on an airplane while she was getting on to go to New York, or try to know just because you fell in love once, and were crushed by sudden death, doesn't mean your life isn't over.
Even Colin Firth's character falls in love and asks for her hand in marriage, in Portuigese. She says yes of course, in a crowded restaurant where she was a waitress.
I admit some parts of the movie were pretty iffy (since there were some sex scenes, mostly to one couple who were shooting porn) but still was a watchable movie and also, before I leave I can't forget one more character:
An aging Rock 'N Roll legend who feels as if he has a second wind to perform again, with a Christmas jingle of course.
By the end of the movie, the song "God only knows" by the Beach boys play in a crowded air port where some of the characters are waiting for loved ones to come back from America. The son's girlfriend who soon plants a kiss. The guy who was in America and tells his friend about his new girlfriend, the prime minister, Alan Rickman (although not so happy) the family was a little joyful to see him home again. And by the end of the movie, they show random people hugging one another, as the song ends, and I love that song, and the movie both the same.
Also this movie had a lot of songs in it, and going back, this movie was one of my favorites to watch over the holiday season, the young girl CAN sing "all I want for Christmas is you" Sometimes, love can show us many stages and we can be crazy to show how much we can love one another, that we can ask for someone's hand in marriage in another language, go to great lengths just to say good bye to someone on an airport, only to return later. Seeing this movie around the holidays is a really special treat, but I'm not big on hearing Christmas songs in this movie, unless it's the holiday season.
Till then, Ciao bloggers. Hope you know that deep down, whatever happens, the strongest thing in the world is LOVE
