Love, love, love
Nov. 22nd, 2003 11:43 pmStill slightly drunk. Is this a good idea? Probably not, but I only had a couple of Smirnoff Ices (1.5 units in each bottle, pop pickers) so it can't go too horribly wrong. (Though I've just had my mind wander halfway through typing "ghostbritain" and written "githyanki" instead, so maybe it will.) Anyway, just got back from watching "Love Actually" with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ghostbritain and his girlfriend Nevenka.
Read into that what you will.
I enjoyed Love Actually, actually. It's a feel-good exploration of the different flavours of love - not the word but the relationship it implies. It could have been cloying and saccharine, but it lolloped gleefully through the whole subject with such a big, stupid grin on its face that I couldn't help but love it. Nev thought it tried to tell two many stories and would have done better to focus on three or four couples but I rather think that's the point - it's trying to express what a universal, all-encompassing thing it is. Many splendoured, and all that. Slightly disappointed to see every coupling was M/F; it goes a little against the purported message. I guess some things are still not mainstream enough for a Christmas movie.
As I say, I enjoyed the movie, but it did make me feel a bit lonely. And not just because I'm alone in the house. Ooh, gone a bit teary all of a sudden. Combination of booze and Elton sodding John. Bastard. I wouldn't normally but I felt like something slow and most of the music on my PC is very upbeat.
