DiscussionThe sexism in "Love, Actually"
It's this time of year again, so lets talk how how ACTUALLY messed up this popular christmas movie actually is:
Colin Firth and the Portuguese woman: He gets "given" this woman as a maid? she speaks no english whatsoever and he falls in love at first sight? then his family tries to "sell him" the other daughter but shes too ugly and fat in their words?
Hugh grant as the horny prime minister and Natalie who despite working her way to the prime ministers office constantly gets called fat by everyone in the movie which is insane shes a size 6.. He fires her for being too hot which is a full lawsuit but ok. He also pulls up a picture of margaret thatcher and says something sexual about her because got forbid a woman exist in this movie not in a sexualised way.
Emma thompson's character is the only female character with more than like 30 words and because of that she gets cheated on by her husband who buys jwerly for his secretary? what was the lesson there exactly?
Keira knightly is marrying some guy and the BEST FRIEND of her husband shot the creepiest wedding film of just close ups of her face and we are supposed to be enamoured by this?
The porno scene? where he has to cup her breasts and simulate sex? what exactly was the point of that?
Laura linney has a mentally ill brother she has to tend to sometimes and thats her big dirty secret that makes the guy she has been in love with for years not wanna sleep with her... umwtf
