Notting Hill - Working Title Films

There are a number of ways that Notting Hill can be linked with the idea of myth underpinning cinema, because the plot is entertaining as the plot is so unique and unlikely and this helps the film to play on the audience's humour. Another way is that it helps to portray the theory that films nowadays aren't really truly conventional. The version of Britishness that's being portrayed in Notting Hill is the true love elemant and that poosites attract. It helps to show the attractiveness of living in Britain and the people have their own personalities and live their own unique lifestyles. For example the character of Will is self-deprecating, clumsy and disorganised and loveable whereas Anna is Cool yet passionate fragile and extremely fragile, but ambitious.
They're completely different from Honey who is wacky rebellious and lacking direction or ambition and Spike ( Will's roomate) who's outrageous, like Honey lacks direction, is an alcoholic and also is likeable but not really loveable.
