Movie split in half

Larue 2022-01-22 08:03:27

In a TV series filmed and broadcast by the BBC before the G8 summit in 2005, a senior civil servant (Nighy) involved in G8 negotiations met a mysterious single woman (MacDonald with a strong Glasgow accent) in a coffee shop and began a romantic relationship. He invited her to go to the G8 summit in Reykjavik. Most of the second half is about solving the problem of global poverty. The two protagonists performed well, but Richard Curtis is a good hand at writing British romantic dramas, but a serious talk about politics makes it as simple and naive as a Hollywood movie. The subtitles at the end of the film say that the real G8 summit will be held in Scotland and will
discuss how to help developing countries solve the poverty problem. Solving the problem of global poverty was the central issue of society at that time, and there were parades, concerts, etc. everywhere. But at the G8 summit, the London bombing occurred, and the focus immediately shifted.

The Girl in the Café quotes

  • Lawrence: Oh, God! It's a double bed.

  • Lawrence: We have a pair of unfortunate situations here. A man who has nothing in his life except his work, that is unfortunate. And then by a stroke of bizarre chance, he finds someone who makes that not true for a day or two. But then, suddenly, it seems as though the price that has to be paid for that ray of light is some kind of... disgrace. It doesn't seem quite fair.
