9.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Love Actually (2003)?
a.
DeVitos house used LED lights to provide remarkable displays not possible with traditional Christmas lights. Otherwise, the lighting could only be done by special effect computers. The lights, from Boston-based Color Kinetics, formed a "digital skin" around DeVitos house, acting like pixels on a TV screen. At one point, the roof of DeVitos house turned into a live video display of DeVitos face. At maximum intensity, the 14,300 LED nodes used just 7,150 watts of energy, the equivalent of four average hair dryers. Wrapping the house with conventional exterior string lights would have used approximately 100,100 watts, 14 times more than the LED installation, and without the capability for programmable effects. The entire LED installation used a total of 126 amps, about as much as 1.3 average households. Conventional exterior string lights would have used 812 amps, the equivalent of 8 houses worth of power.
b.
The word "humbug" is misunderstood by many people, which is a pity since the word provides a key insight into Scrooges hatred of Christmas. The word "humbug" describes deceitful efforts to fool people by pretending to a fake loftiness or false sincerity. So when Scrooge calls Christmas a humbug, he is claiming that people only pretend to charity and kindness in an scoundrel effort to delude him, each other, and themselves. In Scrooges eyes, he is the one man honest enough to admit that no one really cares about anyone else, so for him, every wish for a Merry Christmas is one more deceitful effort to fool him and take advantage of him. This is a man who has turned to profit because he honestly believes everyone else will someday betray him or abandon him the moment he trusts them.
c.
The Portuguese title for this movie ("O Amor Acontece") translates to "Love Happens".

c.
A speech given by
Hugh Grant
in Love Actually - where he extols the virtues of Great Britain and refuses to cave to the pressure of its longstanding ally, the United States - was etched in the transatlantic memory as a satirical, wishful statement on the concurrent relationship with
George W. Bush
.
Tony Blair
responded by saying in 2005, "I know theres a bit of us that would like me to do a Hugh Grant in
Love Actually
and tell America where to get off. But the difference between a good film and real life is that in real life theres the next day, the next year, the next lifetime to contemplate the ruinous consequences of easy applause."
