Movie Reviews of Love Actually (Full Screen Edition)
Movie Review: Hey....It's now my most favorite film....
Summary: 5 Stars
First off I would like to say the film is really superb. I mean you've seen teh reviews others, I'm sure, and you've heard what other's say. I do beleive everyone should see it for themselves. It's a movie that you can watch with 10 people or just yourself and the state of mind is to be pretty welcoming.
This is very different than the the director's other films like 4 Weddings and a Funeral, or Bridget Jones. Both of which I'm not a fan of. Hugh Grant is like a character which is a mix of both those guys in either film. His character is the Prime MInister of the time and is very funny. I was a bit disconcerted by the fact it was a woman that made the Prime Minister take a stand, but hey what ever floats the boat. Love can make you do many things....look at Napolean and Josephine or Antony and Cleopatra.
But what I just have to say is that it's a romantic comedy which is far from the normal sap that we see in a lot of American crap. Their's a different feel in how the romance is portrayed and expressed. Your not like....oh that's so sweet. Your laughing at their bumbling and women can feel the passion not only from the men but also from the men. An expression or a word or somethign is used just to show what they want. This is far from the ordinary chick flick, as men can relate on more than one ground with any of the male character's.
I normally don't like films or books for that matter that have more than one romance for the only reason that people can't carry it. Authors fail miserably and film makers are idiots about it. But I must say this director or producer carries it off very well in this film. You get the backgrond of everyone where their coming from, past relations and what their making of the future...and it's hilarious.
Now this last statement is for the person who was making statments about the politicasl theme. Dont' believe them, the person made it seem that the entire film was a some of kind of political statement to the world. Bull, only one scene and not that memorable. I'm an american who lived in Britain so yeah I know both histories and politics very very very well.
The movie does take a jab at America...but it's rather interesting. This woman was saying how insulting they were. In actuallity not only are they righth about the way America is expressed in the nation...this is coming from someone who doesn't know politics, though. America is classed as a bully. But in most instances Britian has it's head up American ass. But I can say this right now. But one this is for sure....America would never mess with it's alliance with Britain. Why? It loses Britain it loses Europe, in losing Europe they lose Russia, and the countries of the former USSR, then they lose the Caucas, at losing the these parts, they lose Mediterranean and massive parts of Asia. China never really liked us anyway. Then there's Africa...and since Europe has the majority of the military there....we've lost Africa and hence then we've lost the Eastern and Western Hemisphere leaving us as Americans with only South America. Why? Because we've then lost many British Caribbean Islands and french Islands, and we've lost our alliance with Canada. So for the person who feels that in some way that the film was insulting, get over it. If your an overzealous patriot, then this is definiely not for you. But if your an average person who doesn't swing politically anywhere or your a liberal who knows that a movie is just a movie then go for it...and you shouldn't even be wanting to Turn Away! The film is excellent political statement or not.
And if you can't put a political theme in a movie where can you put it. IT's like them Mississippi Burning shouldn't have been a movie made...racism exists, politics exist. Adn much like media...film is a way to express what you want and do what you want. There is no right or wrong place...you just do it. And I think the director/writer/producer's did an excellent job on what's going on!!
Anyway I think all of you wil enjoy it!Peace!
