love actually ...
saw this movie for the umpteenth time today..
can not stop smiling :):)
the movie is so endearing that it makes u feel gooood just about everything !!
may be its the simplicity of 'love', shown through an extremely complex set of stories and cast which are interwoven intelligently, that, it clicks !
the story of aurelia and jamie clicked most to me..though its a bit fairytalish types (dreamy me cant help falling for such stuff u know :D or may be its the charm of colin firth!) the story is just beautiful..makes u believe in true love !! :)
the father-son (daniel and sam) and singer-manager (billy and joe) stories stand equally close..i give both of them the second place..the platonic love between billy and joe is something u hardly get to watch these days..and the father-son duo are just too cool to get ignored..plus the way their relation's progress is shown is too believable, considering daniel s the step father of sam, both fighting for their own love, one's lost and one's budding !!
well after this i dont have any personal favorites :)
though Hugh Grant is charming as always with his thick british accent and as the young, dynamic statesman..oh the Prime Minister !!
the treatment to the plot is superb..laced with witty,funny,sarcasm bhare dialogs its the perfect british film! it aught to be actually as most of the janta in there is British :) and plus the point that its set around x'mas season, makes it even more adorable..the spirit of the festive season is shown just in the right way..with the xmas lightings shown in and around every corner,the carol singers,the nativity play,the gift shops..oooh the excitement is overwhelming !!
Richard Curtis (the director and screenplaywriter) is well known and appreciated for his talent..this is the golden (may be platinum, heard its rarer and costlier :D) feather in this chicken's hat !
its one of those wonderful movies which raises ur spirits and makes u believe that..
love actually is all around :)
