(2) : Notting Hill (1999)

Film Review(2) : Notting Hill (1999)

 I am going to post about my all time favourite movie, 'Notting Hill'.

Anna, who is a famous actress, steps into William’s bookstore, every man’s dream came true to him.

He accidently splits his orange juice all over Anna.

William offers Anna to change in his apartment and she thanks him with a kiss.

From then they started to get to know each other more over time but being with the famous actress made him feel very uneasy. As the movie goes on to the climax, suddenly, her American boyfriend appears and their relationship was getting hard to maintain. But later on, William and Anna become official through the conference, against the odds.

This film is about love between ordinary man and the famous actress in the world, despite their nationality, background, and fame.

As the film goes to the climax, with the truth unknown, Anna is constantly being under the public scrutiny of the gossip hungry press that she has hard time in her every move and even love.

Falling in love with an ordinary guy, William is not easy, because they live in two different worlds which are apart.

This reminds me of todays' problem. That people having too much attention towards actors and actress thesedays. The hungry press gives no respect to the ordinary person; they reveal every person’s info to the media.

This film was the very first movie that made me like the ‘Romantic Comedy’ genre.

By watching this film, London’s Notting Hill became the street that I would like to walk. 

Last year, when I went to Paris and London, I couldn’t miss visiting Notting Hill.

While I was walking down Notting Hill, the storyline passed me by as if I was the main character.

And I think the relationship between the ordinary guy and the famous actress will be every audience’s dream once in a life time. The background and the original sound track were lovely too.
