Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world ofhatred and greed, but I don't see that. Seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly 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 ofhate or revenge. They were all messages oflove. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually...is all around.
-- Love Actually
“每当我为世界的现状感到沮丧时，我总会想到伦敦希罗思机场的入境大厅。公众一致认为，我们生活在一个充满贪婪与憎恨的世界里，但我却不这么认为。对我来说，真爱无处不在。它可能并不起眼，也上不了报纸头条，但它的的确确存在着。它存在于父子、母女、夫妻、男朋友、女朋友，还有老朋友之间。当911发生时，据我所知，乘客们从飞机上打出的电话，没有一通的内容在诉说憎恨，它们全都是爱的讯息。如果你留心找找，我确信你会发现，真爱其实无所不在（Love actually is all around）。”
—— 真爱至上
或许是挑了一部不合时宜的电影吧。本能的想找一部喜剧来看，于是，遇到了这么一部电影——《真爱至上》(Love Actually)。
这是一部2003年的电影，跨越了8年的圣诞，到了今天，依然呈现出了芸芸众生的爱情故事：过气摇滚歌手与其经纪人（同性）、离婚单身汉的异国情缘、爱妻去世的男人与爱情相遇、丈夫对爱情的背叛、英国单身汉的美国梦、秘书与老板的感情纠葛、AV演员间超越性的爱情、男人对挚友妻子的苦恋、首相与平民的爱情童话、办公室恋情的无疾而终，甚至小孩子之间的纯真爱情。
影片讲述了许多故事，有工作中的相知、家庭境况的无奈、爱情的背叛、真爱的邂逅，用两个小时，描绘了一个又一个爱情的残酷现实和美好童话。
不论如何，总有一个会触动你心中最柔软的地方。
