Love Actually



I absolutely love this movie. It's so nice to watch a movie about LOVE nowadays, with all that's happening to the world and to our country. I'm not talking about the love that you see in romantic comedies and love stories. No, Love Actually isn't about that. It's really just about LOVE in general.

I love the start and end of the movie, which show arrivals in the airport. Passengers are greeted by their loved ones. You'll really feel that love is in the air, with all the hugs, kisses, and tears of joy. The movie had an effect on me - it told me that although there's war, poverty, terrorism - there will always be love around me. Love from friends and family, which is more than enough to help me through this crazy world.

The movie tells us many things. That love goes beyond words. That love is both for the young and the old. That it's possible to find true love in the midst of the crazy world of politics. That there are no VIP's and that everyone is equal with love. That love sometimes makes you choose, and the choice you make doesn't always assure you of a happy ending. That sometimes you can really only love from afar. That understanding each other is what really matters. And that a friend can actually be the greatest love of your life.
