Love Actually is a British 2003 Romantic Comedy written and directed by Richard Curtis, featuring an All-Star Cast and set during Christmas time in and around London.The film revolves around several different people and their relationships, all woven together. Among the myriad plotlines, we see: David, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (Hugh Grant), falling hard for Natalie (Martine McCutcheon), the girl who does the tea in Number 10 Downing Street, who also draws the eye of the visiting U.S. President (Billy Bob Thornton)... His sister Karen (Emma Thompson) going through a rough patch in her marriage when her husband Harry (Alan Rickman) finds himself drawn to his secretary Mia (Heike Makatsch)... Karen's friend Daniel (Liam Neeson), a recent widower, trying to help his young stepson Sam (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) through his first case of heartache... Harry's colleague Sarah (Laura Linney) finding herself torn between pursuing love with a long-time crush, Karl (Rodrigo Santoro), and her family obligations... Sarah's friend Mark (Andrew Lincoln), the best man at the wedding of Peter (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and Juliet (Keira Knightley) but who is in love with the bride... A mystery writer, Jamie (Colin Firth), decamping to France after his brother sleeps with his girlfriend and falling in love with the Portuguese maid Aurelia (Lucia Moniz), despite neither of them speaking each other's languages... Billy Mack (Bill Nighy), an ageing and burnt-out rocker, making a last stab at music success, with his long-suffering manager Joe (Gregor Fisher) attempting to moderate his lifestyle...While not all of its stories feature Happily Ever After endings, the film as a whole is unabashedly sentimental and quickly became a holiday staple, particularly in Ireland and the UK.A ten-minute Short Film sequel has been aired as part of Red Nose Day 2017, with most of the original cast returning. | |

Love Actually / int_1086f287 | comment |
Sure, Let's Go with That: When David goes to the Christmas pageant to pursue his secret relationship with Natalie, he runs into his sister there, as her kids are in the show. She talks about how surprised she is that he got the message she left with his secretary asking if he could attend the show, and David acts like that is the reason he's there. | |

Billy Mack the rock star strips naked on live national television on Christmas Eve. His crotch is covered by his guitar, of course, since this is still national television. But we graphically see him undoing his zipper and removing his trousers while performing his song. The fact that the stewardesses are totally distracted giggling about this is what gives Sam the opportunity to run past security check to meet Joanna. | |

Gratuitous Foreign Language | |
Love Actually / int_2fcf9bbc | comment |
Gratuitous Foreign Language: The ending of Aurelia's story plays out in Portuguese, with subtitles revealing that it's rather amusingly broken Portuguese. Of course, this is justified as the character speaking had just started to learn. Worth noting: Colin Firth's Portuguese is actually quite accurate, and he makes next to none of the grammatical mistakes the subtitles accuse him of. His pronunciation is dodgy, however. | |

Unequal Pairing: The film gives us two: David/Natalie (the Prime Minister and his employee) and Jamie/Aurelia (the latter of whom is his housekeeper who is not fluent in English). However, neither romantic relationship is acted on until after the direct employment relationship ends. David seems to recognize how problematic this trope can be and asks one of his aides to transfer Natalie away from his house while he is still contemplating his feelings for her. | |

Actor Allusion | |
Love Actually / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: Alan Rickman standing in an office, talking about a man named Karl, and saying "It's Christmas" as a reference to Die Hard. Harry manages a graphic design business. Alan Rickman ran one before becoming an actor. Many people mock Natalie for being chubby when she clearly isn't. This appears to be a Take That! to a time when the media was obsessed with Martine McCutcheon's weight. Hugh Grant references Harry Potter. He was originally cast as Gilderoy Lockhart in the second film but had to back out. This film also stars a few Potter cast members: Alan Rickman (Severus Snape), Emma Thompson (Sybil Trelawney) and retroactively Bill Nighy (Rufus Scrimgeour) and Frances de la Tour (Madam Maxime) in a deleted scene. What's more is that Michael Gambon (the second Dumbledore) was one of the choices for the role. When Sarah leaves Harry's office following their conversation about Karl, two clocks can be seen on the wall set for New York and Brazil. Laura Linney (Sarah) is from New York and Rodrigo Santoro (Karl) is from Brazil. Hugh Grant answers a phone call from Karen by saying "I'm very busy and important", a line originally said by Bridget Jones to Daniel Cleaver who was played by Grant in the film adaptation. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Played for comedy, as much of the movie is, but Jamie's attempt at proposing to Aurelia with her family in a Portuguese expat neighbourhood in France is filled with butchered Portuguese and he barely understands the locals when they talk to him in their native tongue. He knows some from teaching himself, but can't keep pace with native speakers and makes legitimate (if funny) trips with conjugation, subject-verb agreement, and plurals as anyone learning a foreign language would. | |

The Cover Changes the Meaning: "Love Is All Around" is changed by Dreadful Musician Billy Mack to "Christmas Is All Around" in a blatant attempt to have a Christmas Breakaway Pop Hit. Later there's a fanservice video. Billy himself finds the whole idea ridiculous, even while recording it, and refuses to promote it without deep sarcasm. For instance, from a radio interview: | |

Bittersweet Ending: Although most of the stories do get happy endings, this isn’t the case for every story. Karen and Harry appear to have either divorced or decided to just brave on, even though they may not be happy again for some time. Sarah decides she cannot give Karl a chance due to her caring responsibilities. Mark's final scene suggests that he's still not over Juliet. | |

Intimate Artistry | |
Love Actually / int_6486e532 | comment |
Intimate Artistry: The film shows two different artistic connections: Juliet believes that Mark dislikes her for marrying his best friend Peter. However, when she watches the recording he made of the wedding, she notices that all of his shots are lovingly framed of her and she realizes that he is actually in love with her. Mark had been cold and distant because he did not want to hurt either Juliet or Peter by injecting himself into their happy relationship. John and Judy meet as they are working as stand-ins on a film production of an adult nature. They spend all of their time together naked and simulating sex acts trying awkwardly to hold normal conversations in compromising positions; at the end of their plot John works up the courage to ask out Judy while staging the last scene. | |

Friends Turned Romantic Rivals: In the Juliet, Mark, and Peter story, Peter marries his longtime girlfriend Juliet, who they both believe Peter's best friend Mark hates. In reality, Mark is in love with her and will likely always be, even if he's decided to give up on her. He reveals all of this to her on Christmas Eve silently, using cue cards, as he visits her and Peter's home. When he leaves, Juliet runs after him to give him a quick kiss in brief acceptance of his feelings, before going back inside. | |

Did Not Get the Girl: It doesn't work out between Sarah and Karl, due to her choosing to focus her energy on her relationship with her brother, the lone Downer Ending in a movie of mostly happy ones. Mark's ending, to a lesser extent (he doesn't expect to get Juliet from Peter.) It becomes an even lesser extent when considering that it's not that Mark didn't want to be friends with Juliet; he was so in love with her that his defence mechanism to save himself pain was to push her away. The movie makes it clear he loved his friend Peter deeply and loved Juliet madly, but couldn't reconcile his feelings towards both because they were getting married. So while he didn't blame either party, he still felt a little betrayed on the inside. | |

One Degree of Separation: Nearly all the main characters are linked directly or indirectly; only Billy Mack and his manager have no real connection to the other characters (unless you count his performance distracting a security guard at exactly the right time).

Love Actually / int_9c5ed17 | comment |
Singing Voice Dissonance: In-story: the Prime Minister has this reaction to his driver/bodyguard's incredibly rich, deep and extremely Welsh voice when they are entreated to sing Christmas carols by some pleading children while going door to door. Richard Curtis was worried that Olivia Olson's singing voice would look fake coming from such a young girl, when in fact she actually was that good. The final version has her stopping for breath several times when she didn't actually need to. | |

Love Actually / int_a1fc97c7 | comment |
Calling Your Shots: Sam learns to play drums in the hope of getting Joanna to notice him during the concert. When she gets to the line "all I want for Christmas is you, she points at him, and Sam thinks it worked. But then she points to other points in the audience with "...and you, and you," and Sam thinks he failed. However, she was only pointing at random directions, as can be seen in the last one. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
Love Actually / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: Inherent to the fact the film switches among so many storylines / characters. The opening scene is David (the Prime Minister) giving an emotionally touching speech about seeing love everywhere; then it immediately cuts to Billy (the singer) recording his song, which is played for laughs and accompanied by a fair amount of swearing by Billy. A scene of two body-doubles-for-actors on a set simulating sex while having a mundane conversation is immediately followed by Joanna's funeral, which ends with her husband Daniel carrying her coffin while the song Bye Bye Baby plays. While this song keeps playing, it cuts to happy lovers Peter and Juliet romantically dancing to this very same (continued) song on their wedding. Right after the emotionally charged scene where Jamie and Aurelia say good-bye as he goes back to the U.K., it follows with the hammy Bill Nighy character singing his record with lots of scarcely-clad ladies in the background. | |

Language Barrier: Between Jamie and Aurelia. He doesn't speak a word of Portuguese, she doesn't speak a word of English. The subtitles reveal that they are often saying the opposite things to each other without knowing it - he claims that his constitution keeps him from putting on weight just as she warns that he is starting to gain weight; he says driving her home is the happiest moment of his day as they're alone together, she says it's the saddest moment of her day as they part company at the end of it; and after she dives into the water after his manuscript blows into it, she tells him not to follow her as the water is freezing cold, only for him to say she'll think he's an idiot if he doesn't go in after her. | |

Rule of Three | |
Love Actually / int_a6cda066 | comment |
Rule of Three: Billy goofs when recording his cover, singing "love" instead of "Christmas" twice. He gets it on the third attempt. Colin hits it off with three girls at the bar (though a fourth later joins them). When said girls are getting him to pronounce words in his English accent, he says three words. The third one sounds the same. When David searches for Natalie's house by knocking on doors, the third one shown gives him the directions. (Although according to the house number, it's the 100th.) | |

Love Actually / int_aec19d54 | comment |
Hyperlink Story: All of the subplots (with the exception of Billy Mack's) feature characters who are connected to several of the others, whether as friends, family members, professional colleagues, or would-be romantic partners. Karen is David's sister, and her children attend the same school as Daniel's stepson Sam (a connection through which she and Daniel have become friends), Natalie's younger siblings, and John's brother's children. Mia is friends with Mark, and arranges to hold her office's Christmas party at his art gallery. She lives next door to Natalie's family. Colin is a food delivery man whose regular stops include the office where Harry, Sarah, Karl, and Mia work (in which capacity he flirts with, and is shot down by, Mia), and he is a waiter at Juliet and Peter's wedding reception. Colin's friend Tony is a crew member on the film in which John and Judy are performing as body doubles for nude scenes. Jamie and Sarah are among the guests at Juliet and Peter's wedding. | |

Hide Your Lesbians | |
Love Actually / int_b506c9ff | comment |
Hide Your Lesbians: The film manages to depict and celebrate every form of human relationship and connection, except gay ones. Richard Curtis has said that an early draft of the screenplay had a sub-plot involving two schoolgirls attracted to each other, and a sub-plot involving the headteacher of the school and her dying female partner that was filmed but not included in the final cut note — It is included as a deleted scene on the DVD, though — is mentioned above as an application of Bury Your Gays. (That said, the film is surprisingly open about gay relationships for a mainstream film made in 2003, with several characters nonchalantly bringing up the idea.) | |

Love Actually / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Billy's video is based on the Robert Palmer video to "Addicted to Love". The Screenplay of the Film has a picture of Billy and Joe embracing in a similar pose to the picture on the Fight Club page. David 's speech about British culture versus American culture clearly echoes a similar speech by Harold Shand in The Long Good Friday — although over two decades on, it's the Prime Minister doing this on live TV in front of the President, not a London Gangster in a private conversation with his American associates. | |

My Hovercraft Is Full of Eels: An aversion. Colin Firth's character's Portuguese is mostly coherent; it's mainly plurals in the wrong places and incorrectly-conjugated verbs (common beginner's mistakes) rather than him saying something completely incoherent and out of context. There is an eel reference at one point, but he has good reason to fear eel-attack at that point. | |

No Party Given: The Prime Minister, although there seem to be some subtle clues that suggest he's a Conservative (he is clearly implied to succeed Tony Blair, seems to have achieved the position by virtue of winning an election rather than succeeding within the party, and it's said to be a "strong feeling in the [PM's] party" that he should stand up to the Americans - Atlanticism is a very strong sentiment in the Conservatives. It was the left that was more sceptical about Blair's relationship with Bush). He also... admires Margaret Thatcher. | |

Artistic License – Music: The Christmas UK Singles Chart of 2003 was announced on December 21, not on Christmas Eve. In the film Wes Butters, who at the time was the real-life radio DJ who announced the new chart each week, says the two contenders for the #1 spot are Billy Mack and Blue, reveals that Billy Mack is #1 and briefly chats to him on air, then immediately plays Billy's record. In real life, this reveal of the #1 was made after all the records from the #40 counting up to the #2 had been played (although the more clued-up listeners could have worked it out when the #2 record was introduced), followed by the chart rundown and then the #1, which is when he would have played Billy's record. | |

Near the end of the movie, he meets her sister, who's noticeably fat and homely. Daniel's first scene is his wife's funeral, and there's a joke about him having a crush on Claudia Schiffer. He spends the rest of the movie trying to help his stepson Sam win over the girl he loves, which brings them to the school play, where he meets a woman played by... Claudia Schiffer. | |
