"It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of a thing he was never reasoned into." Those wise words by Jonathan Swift (I think) came to mind while reading this fabulous book by Gary Raymond. Taking a tour through the classic "Love Actually" on a scene by scene basis, critiquing the omnipresent misogyny, bigotry and other outright awfulness so evident in the film, I couldn't help but laugh out loud each time Gary pointed these occasions out. "Yes, that scene is really awful when you come to think of it!" "Oh, that was actually a hideous remark to make under those circumstances." But the truth is, it just won't change the warm fuzzy glow I feel when watching this film and I can't explain why. What it did do was leave me thinking whether there are any other films which Gary can tear to shreds in the same honest, intelligent and very amusing fashion. And can this book not be added in some way as an audio commentary duing the film?
I can recommend this book to anyone who feels the same about "Love Actually" as I do and doesn't mind being confronted with a hilariously honest alternative view.
