@@karinebrochu2698 yeah but the point is that these much older men face zero consequences for getting with their employees (young girls who literally depend on them to be able to pay rent & EAT). Even when in doing so, they're cheating on a DIFFERENT woman! And in fact, the narrative portrays the female subordinate as the one in the wrong (e.g. the Alan Rickman plot), with her as some devilish seductress, and him a "helpless fool" who simply can't control himself. It's not about realism, it's about the message the movie sends about how these things should be viewed in REAL life. It'd be one thing if these choices were punished by the narrative or had any consequences whatsoever, but they don't, and in some cases (e.g. the literal prime minister & a newbie intern) is actively romanticised/ends happily for them both. It's just tone deaf & a bit irresponsible.

Thank you for taking down that cruel, cruel subplot about the woman with the mentally ill brother and how that meant she could never find love or even have a single night of passion with her work crush. If I can overshare for a moment - I was recently out of the psych ward when I went to see Love Actually with a friend of mine and that scene made me absolutely break down because it awakened all these massive awful fears in me that my sibling would wind up in a similar situation with me one day. Totally ridiculous, of course, she's happily married and super successful AND if she ever did need to become my main support person, none of those things would change as a result. But I was young and vulnerable and didn't have the life experience to laugh that plotline off back then, so it really cut deep. I so appreciate the visceral satisfaction you gave me by pulling no punches when explaining how godawful it is.

The idea that I would constantly have to put my life on hold to make sure he’s taken care of when my parents die and wouldn’t be able to engage in love and life fully terrified and haunted me for YEARS. I’ve now set boundaries and worked with my folks so that when they die he’s in good hands (and I’ll be there to assist), but yeah, fuck you Love Actually for making people with mental illness/disabilities and their siblings believe that they would burden each other forever and neither of them are deserving of romantic love 🖕

@@NineToFiveGamerUC0079why the hell would anybody need their "gender ego" stroked. Quickly, explicitly. Because that just seems like a wild justification for misogyny draped in the guise of "love". Especially when the only love that is really centered is sexual and/or romantic, not of family or friends or of your community. And as others have already said, bro, 2003 was not 23 bce. It may not have been popular, hell I'm confident in guessing any kind of feminist beliefs or negative feelings towards this movie was looked down on/shunned, but it definitely still existed nonetheless. These kinds of stories don't exist within a bubble with no actions in reality leading up to them. But also, can we please stop acting like something being 10+ years from now (which ofc is relative to the current year, not 2024 by itself) means any weirdness, backwards social commentary, or straight up bigotry is excusable? I don't think there's any prominent racism in this movie but when you're making the same excuses people make to justify blackface in say, a 1960s book/movie, you've screwed up somewhere. Probably when you claimed a year only 21 years ago was ancient, and therefore free from modern day judgement. It's not like they didn't know any better. People have always known better when it came to social issues, maybe not wealth or wars or disease but this definitely. What matters is if these people do anything about it, even just questioning what's socially acceptable for the time. Low-key sexism doesn't get a pass just because it was 2003, if it was 2003 sexism wouldn't get a pass just because it came from 1982, and if it was 2045 sexism from now wouldn't get a pass. Please stop justifying social issues through the passage of time.

Maybe our generation is more into “marriage is a bourgeois prison” and just feels like “why the fuck would she stay,” but it definitely resonates with my emotionally repressed waspy upbringing (unhealthy). People staying together because they were married, and that meant something. Emma Thompson’s plot is that she keeps the marriage, but the marriage is shit, which is raw and real, and she still has love for her kids. Same with that lady who in the end finds love with her brother. It’s dumb, but the point was that even when life cuts you a raw deal, love is still there, even if it’s the love between you and an unwell relative. There’s love in the in-patient facility.

Very good video and I agree with almost all of it, but outside the weird thematic context of the film I like the Emma Thompson plot I think it’s sad and a bit poignant that she says ‘would you stay knowing it would always be a bit worse’ and then clearly she does decide to do that and it’s always a bit worse. But the movie is bad and clearly doesn’t like women or want them to be happy.
@mothcub3 ай бұрын
Yes! I do like that, I just feel like the movie doesn't know where to put it or what to do with it, so it feels rushed there at the end (partly a consequence of the sheer density of different threads), but you're so right.

I found the elevator Christmas love actually fascinating, because it communicates such a bizarre relationship with god. I'd like to preface that I'm Jewish and obviously have a few different ideas compared to Christianity- but I think its really something else to have this sense of total interpersonal isolation. To have all these people seem totally disconnected from each other, and to simultaneously focus on G-d as an abstract being that is entirely unknowable but craves or even demands reverence- I really like how you frame that last longing scene in this movie, this sad little angel man who simply cannot follow the people he's been speaking to, how he's spent his time with them not connecting through any literal means but through a script he's presenting on paintings analogous to the divine- his words and thoughts seem so empty, so hollow that they don't offer perspective on a work you can see but dictation on an imaginary piece. And that's his life, that's his role in this world as a messenger, and whether or not he communicated his message he remains alone. This is probably rambley and silly but I dunno, something about that struck, it feels like someone with a very painful view of the world who's not quite aware of it- or maybe they are, I don't know these people! But it made me sad and I hope they reconsider

I 100% agree about Billy Mack's being the only genuine-feeling storyline. It's also really not a coincidence that it's the only plotline that deals with platonic love rather than romantic or sexual. I kind of got the sense watching it that because our culture doesn't value or pay attention to that kind of love, there's less room for bullsh*t tropes to ruin it.

~1:07:00 you talk about how the mothers bond over their racism. As a bi-racial dude who looks more black who has been deep in alt-right circles since the early 00's I can assure you, that is how it works. I can't explain why, but it's like they both bond over their hatred which is why you'll usually see more unity between right-leaning groups even though they appear more diverse on the surface. Good video overall I thought you just did art on Insta!

This is the first video I’ve seen of yours and I clicked on it without looking at the length. It’s 1 AM and I just finished it while I’ve been hand sewing an Edwardian bum/hip pad. I’m gonna go check out more videos cuz this was great. Also my dad *adored* Love Actually when I was growing up and it always rubbed me the wrong way but I couldn’t pinpoint why until you were showing the scenes of the awkward woman and awkward Xerxes. It occurred to me right before you said it that they don’t show any of the women ‘leads’ in their own stories having a positive experience, and the other women throughout are just trophies or bystanders in their own lives. He’s Just Not That Into You made me feel so validated when it came out and I remember watching it often but it def had its weird story lines.

I also was repulsed by this movie from the first watch...as a Rom-Com, it's not funny and aggressively unromantic. I found the only passable connection to be the body-double couple because they're the only ones who seem like they will actually have a decent relationship based on a stable foundation; they build a bond slowly by relating to each other in vulnerable moments while navigating the awkwardness of their profession. I wish they had more screentime because the rest of the movie is just so *painful*. There are too many characters with unresolved plot points or just stupid plotlines (looking at you "character Colin"). 🤦♀

Honestly the 9/11 reference works for me. I understood it as "when the shit hits the fan, and you're in the worst situation that you can be in, the only thing you'll really care about is the people you love", which feels true In the first few years after it happened, everyone was talking about it, frequently and regularly, so they weren't digging up an old tragedy, they were acknowledging something that was still on everyone's minds. And they were implicitly acknowledging that it was one of the worst and most painful situations that they could think of. It didn't seem disrespectful to me

I was reminded of this other film while listening to you describe Christmas Eve (2015) . It's called Elevator (2021), and seems as though it may have been conceived by someone watching Christmas Eve and thinking that the religious messaging wasn't overt enough. It essentially takes Patrick Stewart's plotline and makes that the entire movie, complete with details like: - The elevator stall having been caused by someone driving into a power box after being distracted by their phone - Plot about cold business man trapped alone in an elevator, who appears to incoherently babble his way to a change of heart - Climax of movie is spent in a hospital with a group of people praying over the body of someone who is soon to die, except this time, doing so successfully revives/heals the person in question (iirc it even shares the one skeptic who begrudgingly goes along with the prayer so that they can be shown that God is good, actually; I could be making that part up though) - Set in NEW YAHWK CITY Very silly movie, highly recommend to watch with company, ideally not sober.
