The Holiday (Movie Reaction)

Thank you so much for your reaction to this beautiful movie, my friend! I really love The Holiday, and I love each of its five major characters, as well as their three separate storylines that play all throughout. I've never been too big a fan of Jack Black or Cameron Diaz as actors, and both Kate Winslet and Jude Law have always been good actors I've enjoyed in some of their movies, and yet I haven't seen too many of them either. I think out of the four actors... Jude Law is my favorite among them. But with all this being said... I love their characters and their acting in The Holiday very much. They're all very likeable and even funny at the best of times. Jude Law plays Graham and Cameron Diaz plays Amanda, both of whom I grow to love as a couple more and more as their love story continues on throughout the movie. Whereas, I immediately come to love Kate Winslet, who plays Iris and Jack Black, who plays Miles right away. Even though they aren't together romantically until the very end of the movie. And then we have Arthur... who Iris befriends and forms a beautiful kinship with as they help one another pull through the pain in their lives. Iris as she struggles with falling out of love with Jasper, who I hate because he's such a douche, and Arthur as he struggles with growing old and feeling forgotten since the love of his life died. Graham also has two daughters, both of whom are adorable girls and I love their bond with their father, as well as their bond that develops with Amanda as well. And lastly... I love how love is this movie's major theme. I also really love these characters' love stories and their friendships that grow by the ending. I love how different these love stories are, and I love the settings of this movie... both in Los Angeles and in Surrey, England at Christmas time, as well as a little bit of New Years in the end too. Overall... this is a beautiful movie with fantastic acting among each of its characters. I also absolutely love all of the music throughout this movie as well, which is composed by one of the best movie composers in Hollywood... Hans Zimmer. It's really wonderful! Thank you very much for your reaction for this fantastic Christmas movie! I really enjoyed your reaction like always, and I cannot wait for next month for more!! Until then...
