Love Actually
Last night was pretty cold. Both Onyxia and I were slow. Looking at the screen and thinking some random things. My mind was lazy. Suddenly I had an idea. How about watch a DVD? I picked this movie. Well the DVD functioned weirdly. It required me to install a special DVD player which was designed for Universal films. Quite lame. To watch it I have to install it. After some time the movie started. Quite heavy British accent. I liked the scene where Billy sang "Christmas is everywhere." This song technically was called "Love is everywhere." To promote more sales, the marketing strategy was to replace "love" with "Christmas" and release the revised version. Many small scenes were represented: office work environment, wedding, funeral, porn-movie shooting, British prime minister move-in, and a mobile worker. This movie is like drinking a good bottle water. Not too tense, not too artificial, quite natural, quite pleasant, no hidden flavor, no surprise. You can always relate the movie to yourself. I like it. I have not finished it though. I still have half hour to go. I was saving it for later so I could enjoy watching it rather than rushing myself to finish it at a wrong day.
