Love actually (Richard Curtis, 2003) es una película que me fascina. Que he visto miles de veces, y me sigue emocionando, me sigue alegrando, y cada vez más me hace llorar.

Por si alguien aún no la ha visto, esta película cuenta muchas historias que en algún punto se entrelazan. Todas las historias están muy buenas, y muestran diferentes tipos de amor, diferentes historias de amor.

Una historia que me encanta (no porque tenga un final feliz), es la de Karen y Harry, personajes de Emma Thompson y Alan Rickman respectivamente. Dos grandes actores.

Les dejo un canción de Joni Mitchell, que está en la parte más emocionante de esta historia.

Y un video que resume la historia. (Si van a ver la película, no lo vean, así no saben como termina)

“Both sides now” – Joni Mitchell

Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons evrywhere
I’ve looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on evryone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s cloud illusions I recall
I really don’t know clouds at all

Moons and junes and ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As ev’ry fairy tale comes real
I’ve looked at love that way

But now its just another show
You leave’em laughing when you go
And if you care, don’t let them know
Don’t give yourself away

I’ve looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
Its love’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say I love you right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I’ve looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I’ve changed
Well something’s lost, but something’s gained
In living ev’ry day

I’ve looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It’s life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life at all
I’ve looked at life from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life at all

Impresionante! Impresionante la última frase, cómo todo pierde sentido al no ser las cosas como uno pensaba…

Cuán cierto es…
