Love Actually is All Around

 

Love Actually is a romantic comedy film that looks at love in all it's various guises. With comedy, tragedy, love and hope it helps to counteract the feeling of hopelessness caused by 911 and the Wars being waged around the world.

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 eachother instead. I challenge you to look around to see that Love Actually is all around.

Cell Phone on Plane

'they were all messages of love.

Love Actually renews your faith in humankind. 

Everyone should own and watch Love Actually.

Love ActuallyLove ActuallyLove Actually

The first time I watched this movie I thought it was very funny and heart warming and oddly that I wanted to watch it again. The second time I watched it I noticed that it described various relationships formed by love.

Now that I have watched it nearly a dozen times I find more and more intricacies in the plot lines and in the forms of love shown.

This film renews my faith in humankind, gives me hope for the future and inspires me to show my love for those around me.

Everyone needs to own the DVD. Share it with friends. Laugh, love and renew your faith in humankind.
