I wasn't sure if I'd like Love Actually, but once Hugh Grant finished his opening monologue, I knew this movie was a winner:
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaking suspicion... love actually is all around."
Pure poetry.
isn't that a great "feel good" movie?!? I mean, minus the porn part and all- but even their story is cute!
ReplyDeleteYou weren't sure if you'd like "Love Actually"?! I LOVE "Love Actually"! I was actually (haha) going to watch it right now!
ReplyDeleteI also listened to "PM's Love Theme" (the super triumphant theme to big parts of the movie) when we were landing at Heathrow...and I cried a little. Hahaha!
