As the
song says: 'Love is all around' us. Lost love; newly found love; secret
love; unrequited love; office romance, and just plain sex. All of
these combine in various scenarios, with various, linked couples,
families and friends, to make up this well-paced and easy to follow
directing debut by writer Richard Curtis (Four Weddings and a Funeral,
Notting Hill).
There
is no single hero or heroine, but a mix of great, mainly British
favourites (Alan Rickman; Colin Firth; Emma Thompson; Hugh Grant;
Martine McCutcheon and Liam Neeson, to name but a few) who each
play the lead role in their own piece of sub-plot, not unlike a
soap opera. Love, in its many guises, affects the lives of everyone,
from a lovelorn eleven-year-old (Thomas Sangster) to a lonely, ageing
rock star (Bill Nighy). Watch out for the surprise cameos by some
fantastic British stars!
The
effective balance between comedy and tragedy - never lingering over
the latter, kept the teen-to-sixties audience entertained, right
up to the back-to-where-it-all-began conclusion. Unlike many romantic
comedies, the male audience can sympathise and empathise with the
anguish of the male characters, and enjoy the quirky comedy and
charm of a feel-good film, which shows us that love, actually IS
all around…

| I've
been trying to find the prsonal e-mail from Richard Curtis,
because, I want to compliment him for the wonderfull movie
LOVE ACTUALLY. Everytime that I see, I feel like was the
first time, because Richard Curtis found a way to talk
about love, but every type of love, passion. And doensīt
matter if itīs the fourth time that you are whatching,
because, you have the sensation that something change
since the last time you saw. Love Actually is incredible,
marvellous, fascinating. The best movie that I ever saw
in my hole life. Please, if you could send me the personal
mail from Richard Curtis Iīll be glad. Thank you. And
I`ll wait for an answer. Ana Cristina - Brazil - advsavioli@uol.com.br |
