At the start of this movie, you hear the voice of the Prime Minister, played by Hugh Grant, narrating:

"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world,
I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport.

General opinions starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed,
but I don't see that.

Seems to me that love is everywhere.

Often it's not particualary dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there.

Fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends.

When the planes hit the Twin Towers,
as far as I know,
none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge.

They were all messages of love.

If you look for it,
I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that loveactually...Is all around."


After sobbing for a bit...I went on to enjoy a movie, written and directed by Richard Curtis....who is brilliant, charming, witty, and profound.

The cast is superlative...and the soundtrack awesome.
