Actually Though
Over the summer, I started watching that new “Four Weddings and a Funeral” series just for the sake of it, but I eventually came to realise that, despite its name, it’s essentially an amalgam of the greatest hits from the guy who did the original film. And that includes “Love Actually”, which introduced me to that director, Richard Curtis, around this time of year a decade ago. I was in hospital at the end of summer vacation, and watching that movie endlessly on the hospital’s DVD player in my room on bed rest did a lot to brighten my spirits. I didn’t know that it was a Christmas movie before I saw it, and now it’s basically in my mind as a summer movie. So yeah. Cheers for releasing this new mishmash of a show at the right time for me. I feel the love, which is, actually, all around us.
Bonus Question!
Favourite “Love Actually” subplot?
Probably the Bill Nighy one. Maybe Hugh Grant though?
