Quarter 3- Journal 7: Love Actually

Is a British film I watched the other week, that wasn't all that great of a movie. I'm sure others would disagree, but hte movie itself I found rather boring, dull and the plot never really seemed to go anywhere. This movie just followed four different sets of people, and their love lives, or lack thereof. While I could only get through an hour of it, the end seemed relatively predictable. Each person lusting for someone else in the end would end up with them, and everyone would be happy. Also, in the first hour, it just felt like the people who were obviously in love dealing with the internal strife of their conflict. Therefore, I don't like films where the plot is only love. However, I've talked with some friends about something like this before, and we agreed that movies are very boring if they have no love story behind them. So I guess for producers out there, there needs to be a balance between love in movies, and other plots. Too much of one or the other gets boring and unwatchable. Maybe I'm being too analytical, but I think this may say something about life itself. In life, you need to find a balance between love and the other parts of your life. If you focus too much on one, the other will fall apart, sort of like in movies.
