Modern Interpretation



“Love Actually” is a movie that captures love during the holidays between different types of people. This british film did a good job on showing how anybody can fall in love, even if they don't speak the same language. “Love Actually” was made in 2003 but an even more modern interpretation of this film is the american film called “Valentine's Day” that was released in 2010. “Valentine's Day” is the same concept about “intertwining couples and singles in Los Angeles break-up and make-up based on the pressures and expectations of Valentine's day” (IMDb). “Valentine's Day” is a great modern interpretation of the same concept as “Love Actually.” Both of these movies follow the lives of couples during the holidays, “Valentine's Day” during valentine's day and “Love Actually” is during christmas. “Valentine's Day” is a look at the American version of couples different sizes and ages that ponder upon what love really is and what it means. It's definitely a lot different than the British version cause of the setting and how they act but the concept is the same. The movies are very relatable to many people and it helps us become more aware that love is shown in your own way between different people.
