Love actually- Film deconstruction

 Love Actually- Film Opening deconstruction ( images below) - Genre- Romance




The film 'Love actually' opens with an establishing shot of many people at the arrivals terminal at Heathrow airport. At 1:05 we start hearing Hugh Grants voice which is in fact a monologue and is describing every person which is at the arrivals terminal.' Whenever i get gloomy about the state of the world, I think about the arrival bay at Heathrow Airport( Hugh Grant's monologue). Followed by more dialogue of "It seems to me that love is everywhere" which the video is reflecting that love truly is everywhere. There is constantly people hugging and touching  each other which is further emphasising how this film in actual fact is indeed about love, therefore the opening scene of 'Love Actually' has very clearly identified this. The dialogue is then further continued by; 'If you look for it you'll find that love is actually is all around' these words are being appeared on the screen and the typography is indeed red which is further emphasising how the film is about love hence the connotations of the colour red to 'love'.
