the joke: "" Let's disgraced for love! "
" It is generally accepted that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I disagree. To me love is everywhere. Often it is not particularly noble or worthy of note, but still there: fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, friends. When the Twin Towers were hit, as far as I know no one who was dying he called to talk about hatred or revenge, they were all messages of love. I have the strange feeling that if you search you'll find that love actually is everywhere. "So begins
Love Actually, pre-Christmas film of 2003.
main theme of the film is obviously love. As said by ' opening words of the film's love is everywhere and affects everyone, from adults, the elderly, to children because love has no age. Richard Curtis immerses us in 10 different stories, all apparently ends in themselves, but in fact all connected.

All stories probably already seen over and over again and usually covered with a thick layer of icing. Love Actually is not the case where a script and apt dialogues really brilliant and more and more humorous, they bring the film to the next level.
To remind us that Love Actually is one of the many films of this genre, but something better, there is the cast. addition to those already mentioned initially, are to mention the cameo by Billy Bob Thornton in the role of a not too sympathetic president of the United States and especially Rowan Atkinson, the famous Mr Bean. Playing as a clerk in a jewelry shop, offers the public ten minutes of absolute comedy to watch again and again.
the background, a rich soundtrack. It ranges from the cover of Wet Wet "Love Is All Around" for the occasion "Christmas Is All Around" played by a too-cute Billy Nighy, with artists like Dido, Norah Jones, Otis Redding, Joni Mitchell, Craig Armstrong.
Love Actually is not the usual saccharine comedy. It 's a movie that looks for something more than mere entertainment function.
A movie that makes us dream, a magical film, set in the magical Christmas season. Lightweight, light-hearted, romantic.
Two hours pass pleasantly.
A story that is worth living.
