love actually could...

...quite possibly one of thee best movies (there are a lot good ones, so it doesn't get the title for thee best, c'mon i am not that bias, this blog is proof, right ;)...

day 22...

so i started on one topic & changed my mind (thank God this is my blog & i have the freedom to right whatever & luckily you have stayed long enough (well i at least think you have) to read my randomness...

surprise, surprise -- (as if you didn't already guess it) i am going to have a little chat about the movie love actually, first if you haven't seen it maybe you should check it out, like yesterday...make it happen...

why is it that i can watch this movie over & over, and it never gets old...(i think it might be meant for a holiday movie, but who the hell cares, not me that is for sure)...let us analyze why i love it (or maybe you feel the same way, & now since i have spilled the beans, you can now also shout from the rooftop or blog about it, thinking people actually care;)...

ready, set, go...

...is it because hugh grant shakes his biz-naz while dancing to "jump for your love" (you know are singing the song when that part comes on & maybe even dancing)

...is it the meeting of the two stunt doubles (or porn stars, not quite sure what kind of actors they were) who fall in love with each other over the simplest conversations...

...it could quite possibly be a little boy's love for a schoolmate (i think that is a british term, hail to the queen {think british accent as i said that last statement}) & his mourning step-father's process of healing while helping his son obtain the one thing he longs for the most...love

...or maybe it is the love story that blossoms from two people who can barely communicate...& that some times silence or the lack of words can allow for two people to fall in love with each other...only to separate, & then later he goes & gets her, to proclaim his love in her language to find out she has learned his...

...then there is the best friend that is in love with his best friend's wife...and how he manages to give her up, let go & walk away when he knows it rips his heart out...but in reality the love of his friendship is most important, no matter what...(ps favorite part when he is at their door step)

...what about the british wife who discovers that her husband is cheating on her, & manages to stay with him...even though her heart is breaking & she is humiliated...

...we also meet a girl who is in love with one of her co-workers & gets so close she can literally feel his body next to her, only in the next moment has to give him up for her brother...& there is no happy ending for her, they both move on without being with each other...

...finally the prime minister falling in love with the girl in his office, only to push her away, then later to find out that he could be both, a prime minister & a person in love...

(*disclaimer, there is other story lines about the rock star who reclaims glory & the british boy who goes to america & finds american girls who find him interesting b/c he is british & nail him which is his dream come true (by the way wisconsin, random bar & that many hot chicks; not happenin') -- they don't do it for me)

...are those the reasons or is that at some point or some character we find ourselves within the movie...we (well it could be just me) all have been that girl hoping for that guy to notice us & if/when he does we want to literally jump out of our skin...or we have been that person who maybe has fallen in like/in love & it is too late b/c they are so happy with someone else & we have to walk away...or we have all wanted to be the person that somebody comes after & fights for...or maybe we have been in that situation where the person we love betrays us & our world implodes...or maybe we know the feeling of timing, & how even though we want to be with someone, life gets in the way...or maybe JUST maybe we all know that is what love is, not easy or simple & most of the time doesn't make much sense, yet we all want it b/c to love is to feel alive...

...or maybe all i have said is horse s$#* & it is just a movie (& you are like will she please shut up now, please someone stop her) & you like it b/c it makes you feel all warm & fuzzy while taking your mind off real life...or you love british actors & their movies ;)...

anywho, where ever you put yourself & this movie...the next time you watch maybe you will find your reason...enjoy!

"let's go get the s*#@ kicked out of us by love..."

  1. I am in love with this movie. I took a class on Human Sexuality in undergrad and our assignment was to pick our favorite scenario and analyze it :) I'm fairly certain I picked the no communicating couple but now would probably choose the prime minister ( ya know.. Falling in love with your boss thing .. Hmm weird) but I completely agree. This movie has a way of connecting with everyone and could make a heartless person believe in love.
