Two blog posts in a day? Either I am super dedicated or I have nothing else to do. Anyway, I have got an amazing Movie Review for you guys. I have been planning on watching this movie for ages. Mainly because of two reasons,
A) A lot of people recommended me
B) It's so Christmas-ish and nice. I don't know if you guys feel this way but I personally feel so relaxed in the month of December. I don't really know why. Go ahead, judge me. xD
If you have watched this movie then BINGO! If you haven't then, read the review and decide for yourself if it is on your watch-list or not. ;)
It's basically about many lives somehow interlinked with each others examining the complexities of one certain emotion, love.
There is, Hugh Grant - Who plays the character of David, the Prime Minister of England finds one of his junior staff member, Natalie (Martine McCutcheon) attractive. A very charming cliche. Love how clumsy she is with her words.
Liam Neeson - Daniel who mourns over the recent death of his wife as he tries to raise his stepson Sam (Thomas Sangster). You guys can't even imagine how cute the moments are among father and son. I personally loved this story line the most.
Colin Firth - Jamie who is pushed to attend his friend's wedding. He comes back just to find his girlfriend (Sienna Guillory) cheating on him with his own BROTHER! My heart broke at this scene because he really seemed to love her and boy he was hurt! The dude moved straight from an incredible apartment to a cozy French cottage. Where he meets this Portugal girl and eventually..they fall for each other.
Laura Linney - Sarah and Karl (Rodrigo Santoro) both equally mad in love with each other but none of them makes the first move. They finally connect during Christmas party where they kiss. Before more could occur Sarah is interrupted by a phone call from his mentally ill brother Micheal.
Harry (Alan Rickman) is a managing direction of a graphic design company married peaceful to Karen (Emma Thompsan) until he gets aroused by Mia (Heike Makatsch) his new secretary due to her sexual comments and actions. This is where the crack starts to build up in a perfectly build wall.
I really love the character Karen because she is shown as this strong woman, who despite finding out about his husband going on the wrong track, keeps calm and handles everything perfectly.
Juliet (Keira Knightley) and Peter (Chiwetel Ejiofor) get married in a beautiful ceremony video filmed by Peter's best friend Mark (Andrew Lincoln) who seems all gloomy and lost during the entire wedding. Little does everyone know that the dude is in love with Juliet but can't do anything about it because he's living by the slogan, 'Brothers before others.' But he finally decides to at least confess that, like come on you gotta take it out of your chest, after all, what is there to lose? So he does, on the Christmas Eve (I think).
John (Martin Freeman) and Judy (Joanna Page) are professional body doubles for films according to Wikipidea because I couldn't really find the proper words in my head. They both meet at set during a shoot. They both are shown very comfortable with each other and carefully pursuing a relationship. How very lovely!
Colin Frissell (Kris Marshall) informs his friend Tony (Abdul Salis) that he is planning to go to America to find his true love after failing miserably trying to impress the English girls. He's convinced that his 'cute British accent' will lead him somewhere along the lines of something which starts with 's' and rhymes with fax.
Joe (Gregor Fisher), manager of the rock and roll legend Billy Mack (Bill Nighy) helps him with his Christmas song which become Christmas number one single. Billy Mack realizes how very attached he is with Joe despite the fact that he constantly insults him in public. Ignoring the lush parties on Christmas Eve, he decides to sit back and watch some TV with Joe.
Rufus (Rowan Atkinson, Our very own Mr. Bean) is a jewelry salesman who appears in two scenes (As far as I remember). According to Wikipidea, in the director and cast commentary, it is revealed that Rufus was originally supposed to be a Christmas angel; however, this was dropped from the final script.You'll understand, why and how once you watch the movie.
That's pretty much it,
