It is a British film with the theme of love, 10 stories intertwined to form a storyline, and a large lineup of superstars. The film was released in the UK on Christmas Eve 2003.
Compared with the name of the domestic Chinese New Year movie, we also call it the British New Year film.
For 17 years, this film has been silently warming people who are kind and loving. In the cold, in the season of snowflakes flying, this movie has been like a warm current, flowing in people's hearts.
One film appears in the form of a collection, and while there are, there are not many. Foreign films are more famous, such as: Spain and Argentina co-produced feature film "Wild Story", composed of 6 independent violent revenge short stories; the American Coen brothers' Western film "The Ballad of Buster Scrugers", the film is also composed of 6 stories that occur on the US border; domestic more well-known films, such as Jia Zhangke's "Destiny of Heaven" in 2013, which is composed of four stories. But like "True Love Supreme", 10 stories are constantly intertwined chapter by chapter, and the characters in the story have never even met each other, but only use it as the face of the sentient beings under the mouth of Heathrow Airport as a display object, which can only be said that the director's heart is big enough. Because the fragmented editing of the film and the fragmented telling of the story, it is easy to disperse the audience's viewing experience and let the audience fall into the state of being ownerless.
But in fact, this movie has not been forgotten since its release. As the movie begins: when the plane crashes into the World Trade Center, no passenger is calling to convey hatred, everyone is conveying love. Therefore, the director believes that these 10 stories about love will surely make the world remember the warmth and love of the world.
He did it.
Of course he did.
For love comes to mind first when the world thinks it is most damning and hateful; at Christmas, when blessings and prayers flutter like snowflakes on Christmas Eve, when love and warmth shine.
What "True Love Supreme" expresses is love and warmth. Even if there are still regrets in it, under the light of love, it will melt in the heart.
The film tells 10 love stories, with the atmosphere of Christmas coming and the heart-stirring Christmas song, in a comedic and romantic way, showing the stories of those who love and be loved, and the people in the story are either embarrassed or shy or sad:
The first story, in terms of the size of the card, is that of the newly promoted British prime minister, a bachelor, who fell in love with his life assistant at first sight, but was ashamed to express it;
The second story, a wedding camera has a crush on a good friend's new wife, but does not know how to choose;
In the third story, a childish child tells his stepfather that he is in love and is sullen because of it;
The fourth story: a pair of young men and women who starred in children's inappropriate movies, in the shooting on the set, chatted and chatted and found that the other party turned out to be true love;
The fifth story, a writer abandoned by his girlfriend goes to the countryside to write and falls in love with a nanny who takes care of his own life;
------
There are also 5 stories, which are not listed again. But it is certain that these stories are intertwined, each storyline is not too much, the plot is not procrastinating, the dialogue is also very concise, coupled with the running field of superstars, the comedy of the actors' performances, and the beautiful Christmas songs, so the movie looks not only not tired, but also pleasing to the eye.
Of course, just pleasing the eye is not the director's intention, his original intention is to infect and warm you with love. Therefore, when Christmas came, these lovers, in the name of Christmas, were the most chased in the city. The prime minister leads the team, the writer leads a group of people, the little boy in love also joins in the pursuit of love--- in the Christmas song, every love has been replied, every relationship, people are full of emotions.
The Christmas Chase is the climax of the movie and the most tense plot. These 10 stories, gathered on this Christmas night, will be gathered before the emotional baggage at the same moment to explode, this impact, will definitely make people tears, fist to the heart.
In this period of love, you will definitely remember, what is the wish, what is regret for life, and what is the Christmas miracle.
The success of the film is to integrate all the storyline into a huge vessel, and then the commonality in it- love, refined, fermented, and finally brewed a touching, crushing people's psychological defenses. In the world, only love will not be forgotten. And on Christmas Eve, how much love can't be repeated?
The film's collection of big-name stars is breathtaking: Hugh Grant, Bill Nye, Liam Neeson, Colin Feith, Emma Thompson, and Andrew Lincoln, among others. The famous "Mr. Bean" Rowan Atkinson is also just a dragon runner in the movie. As far as the film's box office of nearly $300 million that year is concerned, the role of these stars is obviously immediate.
17 years later, the movie is old, the stars are old, Alan Rickman, the star actor who starred in famous films such as "Die Hard", "Robin Hood the Rogue", "Perfume", "Harry Potter", "Eye of the Sky" and so on, also died of illness in 2016.
Years of broken shadows, but the years leave a sound, this movie is still on the occasion of every Christmas, reminiscent of, or on every sad day, let people miss,
Every season of snow dance is the day when true love comes.
