The Secret Laughter of Women (1999)
I love it!
I love this film. There is something for everyone. It if funny, saddening, passionate and dramatic. The mixture of two completely different cultures creates a whole new world that the viewer cannot help but want to be a part of. I must admit that I am slightly biased, as Colin Firth is my favourite actor and so nothing that he does is wrong in my eyes (!), but in this film his tremendous acting talent is apparent and it is furthered even more by the beautiful acting of his co-star Nia Long. The problems that their love affair suffers makes it, ironically, more believable and the simple features like the contrast between the colours of Matthew's and Nimi's clothes alone, makes this film all the more enchanting. I defy anyone that cannot be moved by this story. I find it enchanting and have watched it at least ten times since I bought the film a week ago!
Fever Pitch (1997)
I don't know much about football, but I love this film!
Luckily for me, not knowing much about football did not ruin my viewing pleasure. At first, watching somebody become so obsessed with a game is quite worrying, but as the film progresses and we learn more about Paul, we understand him and his obsession a little more. Although I am not sure if Colin Firth is a major footie fan, the way in which he acts out his part makes the reader believe that he is. Also, the way in which Sarah (Ruth Gemmell) struggles to understand his football fever is particularly amusing and for most women, her character is probably one of the easiest to relate too! A must see for all Arsenal fans...and all Firth Fans, such as myself, this film is a true bred British film and we should be proud of it!
