The sun is still shining when I want to come to Notting Hill. It was once used as a real filming location, and
here is a corner of the London block that presents diverse and different styles. It has returned to calm.
But here, you can still see the bookstore that sells travel books that seems to be opened by the protagonist of the movie.
Maybe you can also see the people lining up to sell coffee. Someone took hot coffee and walked hurriedly.
At the corner of the street, they bumped into someone unexpectedly, and the coffee spilled on the other person.
When I saw that the other party was a beautiful, but somewhat headstrong American girl.
British men have always had a good reputation as a gentleman.
In addition to constantly saying apologize, they also figured out a remedy,
innocently asking her to go to her house not far away to change her clothes soaked in coffee.
As a result, a love story was laid out and developed without haste in people's expectations.
After 6 years, I started to write the impression of this movie on a summer afternoon.
It seemed to be late and redundant.
But as my favorite love movies, especially one of the British comedy "Notting Hill",
is still a leisurely sipping a can of milk food in the afternoon with a refreshing fruit cake to enjoy the "fairy tale movie"
mix movie There are many elements that are called relaxing:
handsome men and beautiful
women, the gentlemanliness of British men, the kind of humor that is never excessive but always makes people laugh;
beautiful and charming American female stars, and professional expressions in the spotlight ,
And the two people who showed the inevitable loneliness after the party.
When facing other lovers intimacy in front of them, they still could not help showing a longing for ordinary people's life.
Some people say that this movie is more like a modern version of "Roman Holiday."
But I said, who wouldn't be lonely?
From a well-known celebrity, a big person,
to a commoner, all will yearn for intimacy and lasting love and a perfect life.
Just as portrayed at the end of the movie:
basking in the sun with your favorite person in the shade of the grass in the park, reading the poems of Keats or Byron;
watching the children running around, on the sloping grass slope Throwing a flying saucer on it, singing wine.
The desire for a better life prompted the playwright Richard Curtis to write one after another British pop comedy.
From "Four Weddings and a Funeral" to "Bridget Jones's Diary" to last year's "Love Actually".
While savoring the comedy jokes of other people’s lives, we
also look back at our own lives and think of the jokes we committed in our lives.
However, the movie is a fantasy, not only the fantasy of the audience in the dark cinema,
but also the fantasy of the screenwriters and directors.
People in the British entertainment industry have always looked down upon Hollywood, thinking that Americans are superficial and
will only use a variety of high-tech images in movies to render Great American culture.
In a certain sense, these are facts,
but this kind of disdain is not all the elegance of the posture, and
sometimes it often makes people feel a little bit sour.
It has always been the dream of many British film artists to break into the Hollywood-dominated film circle.
If you don't care, you can't eat grapes.
When a British man wears a neat suit and appears in front of
you neatly and neatly, are you responding or at a loss? Still wondering if he is just a character in a fairy tale?
In short, don't compete with fairy tales.
Movies and reality are familiar, so there is no need to ask.
It is not important to fall in love with her (him), it is enough to make people's fantasy come true.
If everyone tried their best to be true, would
Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella be passed on from generation to generation?
