Timeless urban fairy tale

When watching "Notting Hill", I thought of another similar movie called "A Week with Monroe", which may be more realistic. Of course, there are also many previous romance films that can be described as modern classics, such as "Roman Holiday" and "Love Notebook". To be honest, "Notting Hill" is not the best of its kind, with a musty British nostalgia blowing in, and a not-too-sophisticated script adorned with London's seemingly unchanging literary and artistic apocalypse.

However, this crappy modern urban fairy tale still deceived a circle of tears, including myself, who is now typing on the screen.

We have all had someone who inspired us more or less in our boring lives. When you first got to know him, you felt out of reach, but after getting to know him, you felt that you met a similar person, and after you wake up, you feel that he is still out of reach. But your life is different. There are more meanings that you don’t even know what it is. No matter where you go in the future, the inspiration brought by that person will follow you like this, and you can’t get rid of it. It's just that the one in Notting Hill came and stayed, and the one in our own lives mostly missed us. That's why our hearts are softened by this near-perfect, powder-blue bubble 13+ movie.

When I saw Hugh Grant carrying a suit through the four seasons of the block, I unconsciously began to organize the past events in my mind, trivial memories, no special theme, and suddenly felt full of heart.

To borrow a word,

Everyone has a Notting Hill in their hearts.

    Too many bright spots. Love is not surprising.

    After reading it, crying and said to myself: The stories in fairy tales are all deceptive...

Notting Hill quotes

  • Anna Scott: Rita Hayworth used to say, "They go to bed with Gilda; they wake up with me."

    William: You are lovelier this morning than you have ever been.
