It's a self-preservation thing, you see.

Love actually and Valentine's Day are both good looking, there's no denying it. Valentine's Day is that everyone has a happy ending; Love actually has a happy ending, and there are a few people in it that are very tragic.

There are two scenes with a guy and Keira Knightley that are two of my favorites in the whole movie.

Keira Knightley got married at the beginning, and then he was in the queue. Later, Keira asked him to tape and said that there was no picture she wanted in other people's queues. She married his friend and thought he didn't like her. He never married her. Talk, and then she sees what he's taking, it's all her shots, her happy smile, and then she says

"But you never talk to me. You always talk to Peter. You don't like me."

" Hope it's useful. Don't show around too much. Needs a bit of editing. ..." and walked out the door, then he turned back and said

"It's a self-preservation thing, you see." and left. . .

Then came the familiar melody of Dido's Here with me. He was walking alone in the street.

I also liked Dido very much.

So, the self-preservation thing... all the people who were happy together at the end, wrote a Christmas card saying I like you, Christmas eve ran to Portugal to propose marriage, passed the airport checkpoints and confessed to a girl Either way, it's okay to say all I want at this Christmas is you, no matter what the result is, at least they have tried to express their feelings in a timely manner, and they won't be like that man, it's too late.
