Love Actually… Is All Around ( Love Actually Intro) – YouTube

….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!

Recensione “I Love Radio Rock” (2009)
Quando si tratta di commedie il termine capolavoro sembra sempre essere inappropriato, per quella comune tendenza a non definire tali quei film dove l’intrattenimento è uno dei doveri principali da assolvere. In quest’ottica parlare di capolavoro potrebbe sembrare fuori luogo, eppure all’ultimo film di Richard Curtis (che già aveva realizzato un piccolo miracolo con la commedia romantica Love Actually) non sembra mancare proprio nulla: musica, emozioni, amore, libertà, un grande sogno. In poche parole: la vita. La vita è infatti il filo conduttore di questo gioiello divertente e commovente, la vita che scorre tra le frequenze della radio del titolo, che emerge dalle note dei vinili, dalla voce dei deejay.
Nel 1966 il Regno Unito è castrato da un governo conservatore, che vede l’esplosione della musica rock come un’oscenità dalla quale i giovani devono stare lontani. L’unico modo per avvicinarsi alle note e ai riff dei grandi del periodo è attraverso le radio pirata, in particolare Radio Rock, un’emittente che trasmette da una nave ancorata tra le acque del mare del nord, dalla quale la voglia di libertà e di esprimere la vita giunge fino alle orecchie di migliaia di adolescenti appassionati. Il governo cerca in tutti i modi di bandire le radio pirata, fino ad emettere una legge per farle chiudere. Ma il cuore del rock non può smettere di pulsare, la musica continuerà ad essere scritta ed ascoltata, così come la vita nei giovani ascoltatori non può smettere di esplodere.
Philip Seymour Hoffman e Bill Nighy sono i capisaldi di questa combriccola di deejay fracassoni e innamorati della musica e della libertà, sopra le righe ma sempre a causa della loro grande passione, primi sintomi di una rivoluzione culturale imminente e inevitabile. Richard Curtis porta gli spettatori sulla nave di Radio Rock, tra i suoi corridoi, i suoi angoli, dove è sempre la musica a farla da padrone: Rolling Stones, Bowie, Who, Hendrix, Kinks, Beach Boys e quanti altri, ideali per risvegliare la voglia di vivere dentro ognuno di noi. Una meraviglia per il cuore e per le orecchie, da vedere, rivedere e poi comprare in dvd. La commedia che abbiamo sempre aspettato, con la musica che abbiamo sempre amato.
