Hannah-Rose Yee really isn’t a fan of everyone’s favourite Christmas movie. Here, she explains why…
is Christmas jokes, first lobsters, turtleneck jumpers and falling in love in the snow.and dissected its internal organs you’d find that the movie is actually comprised of glorified stalking, sexual harassment and fatphobia.Almost all of the film’s female characters get a terrible deal, including but not limited to Karen and Sarah . But in some ways it’s Knightley’s Juliet who has to put up with the most inordinate amount of bulls**t in the film.
Then, disaster! Upon returning from her honeymoon, Juliet discovers that the wedding video is unusable. There’s not a single frame of her that isn’t “blue and wibbly”. So she turns up at Mark’s house with banoffee pie to bribe him into showing her the footage that he filmed from the ceremony. Juliet as she says her vows. Juliet’s eyes as she gazes at Peter. Juliet as she eats her wedding cake. Juliet. Juliet. Juliet.Of course! Mark doesn’t hate Juliet, as his dismissive behaviour suggests. He loves her. A lifetime of watching romantic comedies should teach us that when a man treats us poorly it’s usually because he is nursing a spectacular secret crush.
Julie didn’t ask for any of this. It’s not her fault that Mark is in love with her, and it’s not her fault that he stalked her, filming her without her permission all through her wedding to his best friend and lying about it, too.
