    ….Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion’s starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don’t see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there – fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge – they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaking suspicion… love actually is all around…

    Love Actually is a 2003 British Christmas themed romantic comedy film written and directed by Richard Curtis. The screenplay delves into different aspects of love as shown through ten separate stories involving a wide variety of individuals, many of whom are shown to be interlinked as their tales progress. The ensemble cast is composed predominantly of British actors.

    The film begins with a voiceover from David (Hugh Grant) commenting that whenever he gets gloomy with the state of the world he thinks about the arrivals terminal at Heathrow Airport, and the pure uncomplicated love felt as friends and families welcome their arriving loved ones. David’s voiceover also relates that all the messages left by the people who died on the 9/11 planes were messages of love and not hate.

    The characters are falling in love, falling out of love, some are with right people, some are with the wrong people, some are looking to have an affair, some are in the period of mourning; a capsule summary of reality. Love begins and love ends. They flirt a lot. They are all flirting with love. At all ages and social levels, love is the theme. Romantic love and brotherly love is the hotchpotch through out the movie. Most of the movie is filmed in London, during Christmas and the characters all ended up at Heathrow airport a very uplifting note. It is one of the best movies I have ever seen. After watching this film you will see love all around wherever you look. I believe that the world would be a better place if we turned off the nightly news and looked for and showed our love for each other instead.

    I challenge you to look around to see that Love Actually is all around. It’s All About Love… Actually!

  2. Hugh Grant has settled his illegal snooping lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch's Sun newspaper. The actor explained on X that he did this in order to avoid possibly heavy court costs, but made clear that he would not stop his quest to see justice done for victims of unlawful information gathering such as phone hacking. "As is common with entirely innocent people, they are offering me an enormous sum of money to keep this matter out of court. I don’t want to accept this money or settle. I would love to see all the allegations that they deny tested in court,” he wrote, adding “Murdoch’s settlement money has a stink and I refuse to let this be hush money,” and said he would use the proceeds of his settlement to “expose the worst excesses of our oligarch-owned press." Here's more from the Hollywood Reporter.
