What the English Really Believe About Love

Rating: 1/10 (12 March 2008)

I had seen the ending of "Love Actually" on cable television and never was inspired to rent or borrow the movie. I suppose it was the idea that Hugh Grant as the Prime Minister was just such a ridiculous idea that I felt the entire movie was a bunch of hog wash. Illogical actions like the Prime Minister dragging members of his security out on Christmas Eve to hunt up and down a street for a girl was a bit stupid since as the head of England government couldn't have her address within seconds of requesting it.
However, as I have recently had a fixation on the career of Colin Firth and found out he was in it, I fought with myself for several weeks before renting the film  and brother! I just couldn't believe the disgusting crap that was in almost every scene and the over powering anti-American attitude.
From the fact that our American president was portrayed as a womanizer (which I am assuming they meant Clinton except the actor looked like Bush) and a bully and a plain old-fashioned jerk to the fact that ALL American women are represented as loose, into kinky sex and available at the drop of an English accent was predominant.
What do you think really bugs the English about America and our people? Could it be the fact that so far, their European influence and amoral attitude hasn't completely destroyed our Christian stability in this country? Or could it be that whenever they get into a disagreement with another country like Germany or Italy, we have to bail their fannies out of it by sending American troops to die on the battlefields? Or are they still hung up that over two hundred years ago, our Country and soldiers made up of a bunch of back woodsmen freed itself from their tyranny? The entire picture was full of foul language, kinky sex and NO ONE really understood the meaning of the word LOVE  except, of course, our hero's character, Colin Firth. That character was perhaps the ONLY one who fell in love without sexually experiencing his heroine beforehand.
As usual, he was fantastic in the role, but his only three shots in the movie do not make up for all the disgusting sexual perversions and language in the rest of the movie  even by the young boy, Sam, as depicted by Thomas Sangster. And even Colin Firth and his heroine had to say the "F" word at least once in an unnecessary situation. This must have been a requirement to each scene because that word came out in the most needless circumstances.
The truly heartbreaking thing is that Colin Firth is perhaps one of the best actors to the modern-day film making industry; however, he plays in the most stupid and ugly crud and trash that is out there. No wonder he can't shake the "Mr. Darcy" image. That was the best thing he ever played in!
