Megan's Presentation: Love Actually

  • Directed by Richard Curtis in 2003
  • Distributors were Working Title, Studio Canal and Universal
  • The film won 2 golden globes
  • Love Actually got 10 out of 18 nominations
  • This is a typical type of movie for the companies involved
  • Famous actors/actresses; Hugh Grant, Kiera Knightley and Colin Firth
  • The budget was $30 million
  • Begins in Heathrow airport - Well known/Landmark 
  • Conventionally starts as romantic genre
  • The audience doesn't know who the central protagonist is
  • Bill Nighy uses a significant amount of profanities, possibly to attract the male audience
  • There are a range of ethnicities, ages and genders at the airport however no one is portrayed as being homosexual
  • The airport music is quiet non diegetic music - It's also sad and emotional. Especially the reference to the 9/11 bombings
  • Hybrid genre 
  • Bill Nighy - Rom-com
