British Lunar New Year films are also old-fashioned. They are nothing more than happy reunions. What impressed me the most was the love actually. This film is also about love, encounters, and Christmas. I knew that, but I was less moved. shed tears.

Not to mention that Amenda in LA and Iris, a suburb of London, rely on the Internet to exchange rooms and cars, and whether it makes sense to buy air tickets to go to each other's residence on impulse. Maybe a woman is hurt by her feelings, and her first impulse is to escape, to escape from a familiar environment. It seems that she can pretend that nothing happened, and deceive herself a little, just like Amenda sitting in the first class cabin, wearing a blindfold, taking sleeping pills and still at night. Can't sleep, Iris can't hide her emotions when she sees the letter from Jasper who cheated on her for three years.

The whole film is interspersed with two lines from beginning to end, Amenda and Graham, Iris and Miles are quite dramatic acquaintances, and they all face the test of love, career and life, and reality. Thanks to the director for standing in the audience’s position, and even more to the director for impressing us with details, such as Amenda’s sudden visit to Graham’s house, Graham’s embarrassed expression, almost everyone sighed at the playboy’s disguise, and suddenly turned, he is in charge As a single dad, I really can't believe that Judy Law, who is so cuddly, can be so caring and dedicated. Iris watched Miles take his girlfriend's phone call and leave, swallowing the tears and liquor together. In the chaos, Miles appeared at the pre-arranged party and only said "It is already over." You know, the previous episode was Miles' girlfriend at the party. Confessing the mistakes he made, everyone thinks that the kind Miles will forgive his girlfriend's betrayal...

Some people are not worth waiting, just like Iris who waited for Jasper for three years, and finally realized that he was going to end. It is necessary to suffer and aimlessly wait to start a new life, which is moved by Miles' humor, kindness, and cuteness.

Some people are worth waiting for, just like Amenda on the way to the airport. She wants to be realistic in her heart, but she can't resist the sad tears of leaving her loved one. She has never shed tears since she was 15 years old. She resolutely turned around to pursue her own happiness.

Special days are usually catalysts for feelings, not to mention Christmas, I think of my New Year's Eve, it seems that the West and the East are the same, no wonder now that the world is flat.

    Iris: The great thing is I actually do. And I'm about three years late in telling you this, but nevertheless I need to say it. Jasper. Wait, I need the lights on. Jasper, you have never treated me right. Ever.

    Jasper: Oh, babe.

But you waltzing in here on my lovely Christmas holiday, and telling me that you don't want to lose me whilst you're about to get MARRIED, somehow newly entitles me to say, it's over. This - This twisted, toxic THING between us, is finally finished! I'm miraculously done being in love with you! Ha! I've got a life to start living.

    Iris: Now!

    Jasper: What exactly has got into you?

    Iris: I don't know.

    [Pushes Jasper out the door]

    Iris: But I think what I've got is something slightly resembling, gumption.

    [Slams door shut in Jasper's face. Lifts hands up and screams with joy]
