    Character Evaluation

    Love comedy is Richard Whalley Anthony Curtis's specialty. His love comedy will be more romantic and interesting, with some British restraint and subtlety, and hidden humor in it. Due to his excellent screenwriting skills, Richard Whalley Anthony Curtis did not encounter too many obstacles in his career as a director. Love and comedy have always been indispensable elements in his works, coupled with good music and touching details. Richard Whalley Anthony Curtis has been doing very well   . In every film, he intensively portrays the British people's own living environment and the characteristics of British culture itself. Although his films are popular and humorous and strong in plot, they are not simply pan-Hollywood industrial products. There are many sincere and sincere feelings, serious discussions and pure British taste   .
    The national writing style used by Richard Whalley Anthony Curtis in the film creation has a strong authorial style, which envelops the male portraits referring to national characteristics and the cultural landscape with British characteristics in a warm and fashionable love narrative. Cultural nostalgia, the reshaping of the British contemporary cultural image and the identification of national character have constructed an "old and modern" British national cultural image that is admired by the world. Richard's spare no effort to nationalize the writing in film creation allows the world to see a different face of Britain. This creative method with a high degree of recognition of national culture and national characteristics demonstrates that as a film creator with the dual identities of "British" and "filmmaker", he is facing the decline of the British national power, American culture and economic invasion. And the cultural self-confidence and cultural self-confidence shown by the national cultural aphasia. Borrowing the concept of Peter Burke, his visual presentation of Britain in the film has become a "visual narrative history", in which the past and present are alluded to through images of current events in order to realize the mutual definition of visual culture and the main body of the country   .

      Love Actually

      The film is 135 minutes long, and I grinned for at least an hour, not because of how funny the plot is or how funny the characters are, but because of the characters who are obsessed with pursuing each and every one of them. A joyous and exciting song, I couldn't help immersing myself in the warmth...

      The truth about love from Christmas

      1. A magical movie

      I have always liked the movie "True Love First", and I will revisit it almost every Christmas. I think this is a movie specially prepared for Christmas. It is suitable for single people to watch alone, but also suitable for sharing with friends, family, and lovers.

      In my opinion,...
