Review Of Notting Hill

 

C’mon! Means, even I didn’t know that I would be writing reviews on my blog portal of most of the flicks I watched in my School days, and that too after 26 years. C’mon!

And from the song-> She (one of the soundtracks of the flick)

……She may be the reason I survive
why wherefore I'm alive
one I'll care for through rough & ready years
Me, I'll take her laughter & her tears
& make them all my souvenirs…….

One must be thinking I was movieholic. Nope! Yet, a good movie is after all a good piece of Artwork! Correct? So, the way we go to, from museums to bookstores, I used to sometimes get those big movie cassettes, and then CDs, to watch, & sometimes on my computer; again, only a good piece of artwork! Like a good Trance mix on my CD player back then.

Notting Hill was one of them. And today, I watched it again! There was a spark that time even in the Romantic genre. Take example of Vanilla Sky, which I’ve already reviewed. Then Sweet November. The real definition of Freshness! And such Freshness I only saw in the flick Taal in B’Wood! And as I always say, what you call a boutique or custom made or handcrafted one of kind piece; so was with these few artworks which can’t be recreated. A sincere love story.

And then there’s was Ronan Keating’s Nothing At All. BTW, in that period only, another song Life Is A Rollarcoaster (one of my favourite song) also came; thus, one after another gems were coming out.

Coming back to the Review. I don’t write the scripts. Not interested! You just watch the conversations and expressions of/between Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts, and that’s more than enough, with a great background score! Simple! What else do you need?

All said and done, of course, a gem and one of a kind boutique handcrafted piece! 😊
