Christmas Tale today is a Christmas comedy mixed in with fabulous turns and plot tolerances. Seasonal genre, "point", expected in late December. The genre is traditional, like the salad "Olivier" or roast goose, so the public is unlikely to tolerate any stylistic twists and changes in recipes.
The basis for all the adventures in the Christmas comedy should be completely domestic, no three-headed dragons - as if all this happens with a neighbor or even with you. But at the same time, the element of tickling improbability of everything that is happening on the screen is important, so that the viewer exhales: “Ahhh!” If sadness and tears, then light and moderate. It is better when the moist mist in the eyes is triggered by affection. Love must be real. Laughter is kind and plentiful. And the finale harmoniously arrange everyone and everything in the proper places. What is called, and "you will be happy" ...
Different nations have different preferences. To my personal taste, the best of all, the Christmas comedies succeed the British: humor is unobtrusive and subtle, skillfully woven into action; emotions are transmitted more reliably - the British acting school is almost entirely based on the theater, and that says it all; In the end, the plots of the British are stronger on the ground and are deprived of sometimes completely improbable “dead loops”, which Americans like to present to the audience in their blue eye.
In general, Michael Curtis, who wrote the scripts for “Four Weddings and a Funeral Only” and “Notting Hill”, and now he sat in a chair with his last name on the back - you can trust this director.
He gathered on his platform a magnificent ensemble of actors and invited them to play a large plot “daisy” (or a magnolia, if they like it better): a few, or rather almost a dozen love stories at first glance unrelated to each other, develop in parallel and gradually converge to the semantic center, thereby demonstrating that everything in this life is interconnected. In this case, a love feeling. The Prime Minister (Hugh Grant) falls in love with a maid who spreads tea at his London residence, a non-fluent writer - with a Portuguese maid who doesn’t have a wife in English, the architect Liam Neeson has lost his wife, but the lady is like two drops of water like Claudia Schiffer looming on its horizon; and the architect’s adopted son managed to fall in love with the most beautiful mulatto of the class who doesn’t even look at him. Porn film actors, seeing each other in their clothes, are falling pierced by the arrows of cupid. The secretary is in love with the chef, he gives her a pendant, as his wife finds out and gets upset ... The ridiculous red-haired English guy can't find the girl and leaves for America after hearing about the responsiveness of the local girls ...
No, wait! It is only at first glance - a wild tangle. In fact, everything will be very beautiful, emotionally, exciting.
The author, clearly prone to logic and numerology, is very logical to distribute to all sisters and brothers in the earring. And it quite convincingly proves the thesis stated at the very beginning: “All you need is love”. Despite the fact that the massive harmonizing finale looks a lot like a parody of the Zucker brothers.
“Real Love” is a funny and funny movie. If you like subtle English humor. This is not even an injection of good mood, but two hours spent under the “drip” of a positive life mood.
