Love Actually
Love Actually is a 2003 British Christmas-themed romantic comedy film written and
directed by Richard Curtis. The screenplay delves into different aspects of love as shown through ten separate stories involving a wide variety of individuals, many of whom are shown to be interlinked as their tales progress.
Set primarily in London, the story begins five weeks before Christmas and is played out in a weekly countdown until the holiday, followed by an epilogue that takes place one month later.

The cast of this movie is ideal lineup. Most actors are famous. Let’s see
Colin Firth: I know you will know him, Colin Firth, his latest movie is playing in sceneries now, Kingsman: The Secret Service. He also has classical movies in the past, such as King’s Speech, Pride and Prejudice, Girl with a pearl Earring.
Hugh Grant: Cloud Atlas, Music and Lyrics, Sense and Sensibility, Four Weddings and a Funeral, and other nice and classical films which he had taken, building the England gentleman character.
Love Actually was composed by 10 stories of love, and this plot of part is my favorite one.
Juliet, Peter, and Mark
Juliet (Keira Knightley) and Peter (Chiwetel Ejiofor) are wedding in a lovely ceremony orchestrated and videotaped by Mark (Andrew Lincoln), Peter's best friend and best man. One day Juliet arrives unexpectedly at Mark's apartment and watches his video, discovering that the footage is entirely of her. This confuses Juliet, who thought Mark didn't like her: He never talked to her, avoided her, and was generally distant and uncomfortable around her. He blurts out that he acts that way for 'self-preservation', and she finally realizes that he's always been head over heels for her, but has kept it to himself out of respect for her and Peter's relationship. At Christmas Mark takes a moment to
truly confess his unrequited love for Juliet, silently displaying large white cue cards for her to read. Juliet acknowledges his confession by giving him a kiss. Afterwards, Mark decides to set aside his infatuation and move on.
