Love At First Sight (2023)

Okay, we’re going to talk about the new Netflix romance directed by Vanessa Caswill, Love At First Sight, because I’m seeing almost no chatter about it and that cannot stand. Full disclosure, I’ve never read the book on which this movie is based, The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, so I’m reacting only to the film (which I’ve now seen 4.5 times in 2 days).

The Surface Reading

It’s a perfect, tight, adorable little RomCom that’s heavy on the Rom and light on the Com, with a wrenching dash of angst and the most hair-twirling chemistry between two leads that has graced our screens in years. Truly, if all you want is 90 minutes of two actors being saccharine precious cinnamon rolls, look no further!

There are simple takeaways here, like that chance can only take you so far, but in the end you have to choose to love. Or that change and loss are part of life and you can’t run from them. Or that London is a massive labyrinth of eccentric people that probably looks 400% cooler onscreen than it is in reality (I wouldn’t know, I’ve never visited, so this and the 90s Parent Trap are the extent of my knowledge about the city, sorry).

Anyway, I adored how straightforward the story was - that the narrator (played brilliantly by Jameela Jamil) tells you directly in the first two minutes that it’s a story about love, fate, and statistics. She then repeatedly describes every development as it is happening, the characters’ histories and internal monologues, and all the context you need to follow the thin but fast-paced plot. The writing, performances, and production design are all solid, allowing the audience to get lost in the romance as it unfolds.

BUT if you’re slightly unhinged like I am and you’re always looking for more layers in your media, HAVE NO FEAR! There is in fact more going on in this little movie than you might expect.

Color Theory

For starters, the use of red and green in the film is fascinating. Yes, I realize the action of the story takes place a few days before Christmas, so you might assume it was just a seasonal aesthetic choice, but if you look closer, you can see very carefully selected shades of red and green repeating throughout the film. The red is a cool, deep rose color, sometimes pink, while the green is cool and dark, like oxidized bronze rather than emerald. Further, while they appear over and over, these hues are rarely used in a purely decorative or festive way. Instead, they play a role in the separation and coming together of the couple. On a color wheel, red and green are complements, perfect opposites that are never adjacent but always joined in the middle.

The title card during Hadley’s introduction is literally a green stripe over a red stripe, then the hallways of the airport are green, and of course Hadley’s ever-important backpack is a rosy red. As the couple grow closer on their flight, the light turns pink. Once in London, a green van takes Oliver one way while a red taxi takes Hadley the other. At her father’s wedding, Hadley is dressed in red (“the color of a bruise” she calls it), contrasting beautifully against her green jacket. Upon realizing Oliver’s true purpose, she chases after him on an iconic red double-decker bus. Meanwhile at the living memorial, Oliver’s father is dressed in red while his mother wears a faded green, as if to say she is already beginning to fade away. The event is decorated with green drapery and streamers, and there are even stacks of red and green chairs in the stairwell where Oliver begs his mother to receive treatment.

Hadley gifts her red and green bouquet to Tessa, and when she is driven away, a green-clad narrator returns the red backpack to Oliver. Wandering London alone, Hadley exchanges her painful red heels for a pair of green trainers (“sneakers!” she insists), and tries to call her dad first in a red phone booth and then on a phone from a stranger sitting in a cluster of red chairs. Finally, Oliver chooses to pursue Hadley to the wedding reception which is lit in pink, and where they finally share the long-awaited kiss.

There are many more examples, but in general we see that green indicates separation and loss, while red symbolizes joining, intimacy, and (what else?) love! It lends the film a gorgeous, subtle aesthetic without being garishly festive, and shows the lovers’ emotional journey from lonely childhood to vulnerable, loving adulthood.

Death and Rebirth

Speaking of which, there’s plenty of rebirth imagery too! When Hadley and Oliver meet, they are both still children, struggling with the impending loss of parental security through divorce and death. Thus, when they board the plane, it is as if they enter an underworld or womb, separated from their families and remade as new adults. They emerge on the other side into a hallway (read: birth canal), as each must still confront their own dying childhood before they can join as full and equal partners. Hadley journeys to a bright, red-strewn celebration of life, while Oliver must enter a dark green commemoration of death, his fear driving him deeper to hide in another hallway. Here his mother comes to find him, begging him to emerge into life, but Ollie still can’t confront her death alone.

Thankfully, Hadley travels to this underworld to find him, bursting into the memorial like a bright red flower. Even the bruise metaphor works, acknowledging the pain they are both experiencing at the changes in their lives. But Oliver still refuses to face his fears, trying to take a shortcut around death to life with Hadley. Still, she knows he’s not ready (likely because she’s not yet, either), and gently pushes back. And so, Oliver returns to the underworld, and Hadley walks off alone until she descends barefoot through a soggy riverside tunnel (birth canal again!). Finally, she calls her father and admits she is “lost.” When he arrives, Hadley at last gathers the courage to ask why he ended their old life, and to tell him how much it hurt her. But as Oliver predicted, she forgives her dad and even begins to accept his new bride.

Back at the memorial, Oliver is reminded by Hadley’s red backpack - his unaddressed emotional baggage - to be honest about his pain. In at last openly mourning his mother and his own childhood, Ollie takes a step into adulthood, just enough for his family to nudge him that extra bit to go after Hadley. And so, the family delivers him to his bride, who has meanwhile learned to dance again, even through her heartbreak. With one last confession, the two consummate their love with a kiss, bathed in pink light before an open door.

Happily Ever After

There’s so much more, with the hand-holding, numbers, Shakespeare, Dickens, the music, and beyond, but the point is that this cute, charming little romance is actually very deliberately constructed. It follows timeless patterns and motifs which we instinctively understand through visual and auditory language. And the narration plays a huge role in this as well, not unlike the prologues and epilogues of the Bard’s plays in that they state the story’s lessons plainly: that we cannot always be prepared for unwelcome surprises, but that we can make the choice to love every day.

Anyway, Vanessa Caswill deserves all the flowers and if you haven’t seen her gorgeous adaptation of Little Women (with all due respect to the marvelous Greta Gerwig and Gillian Armstrong), please do yourself a favor and watch that after you finish this!

WELL, in Doctor Who, they said there were different universes so I'm thinking maybe all the shows and movies that David Tennant are in are just different universes. Like, David and Catherine Tate are both in Doctor Who and Ducktales. HOWEVER, in Ducktales, they are each other's greatest enemies while in Doctor Who, they are best friends. In parallel universes, few things change and what if Ducktales was literally just a parallel duck universe??? LETS NOT FORGET THE DOCTOR WHO REFERENCES IN GOOD OMENS EITHER. Ik it's just stuff the cast put in but pls just feed into my delulu mind. AND LETS ALSO NOT FORGET THAT NINA'S ACTRESS, NINA SOSANYA IS ALSO IN DOCTOR WHO, AS WELL AS ANNA MAXWELL MARTIN IN S1.

You know who was in Parks and Rec? JEAN RALPHIO. WHO IS JEAN RALPHIO? DEWEY DUCK. BUT GUESS WHAT?? THERES MORE. Jameela Jamil was also in Ducktales as Gandra Dee but you know who her most iconic role is? Tahani Al Jamil in The Good Place.

MARC EVAN JACKSON AS KEVIN COZNER. Giancarlo Esposito is also in Ducktales apparently but he was also Gilbert from Community. BUT WAIT WHAT IF HARRY POTTER IS CONNECTED TOO? BC DAVID TENNANT IS BARTY CROUCH JR AND BARTY CROUCH SR IS ROGER LLOYD PACK AND HE IS IN DOCTOR WHO S2. FILCH WAS THE FIRST DOCTOR. ANDREW GARFIELD IS SPIDERMAN BUT HE IS IN DOCTOR WHO AS WELL????????? WHO ELSE IS ANDREW GARFIELD KNOWN FOR? REMUS GODDAMN LUPIN THE WEREWOLF.

The Rebels of the 2023 Met Gala

The 2023 Met Gala paid homage to the late Karl Lagerfeld iconic designer and creative director for both Chanel and Fendi. The red-carpet hosted standout looks from designer Thom Brown, plenty of iconic vintage pieces and the men wearing more than just plain suits for once. This year’s gala theme saw arguably one of the most cohesive collections of looks with black and white colour schemes, pearls, and signature Chanel silhouettes. 

However, there were certain standouts from the crowd, and no, I’m not talking about Jared Leto and Doja Cat’s Choupette cosplays or whatever Lil Nas X was doing. I am instead referring to all those who subverted this year’s theme actively embodying the things Lagerfeld disapproved of or spoke out against whilst still remaining fashionable and met gala worthy. 

Karl Lagerfeld’s talent as a designer was undeniable and his impact on the fashion industry was astronomical, however, he has also become a controversial figure when it came to his misogynistic and fatphobic comments as well as his beliefs on refugees and immigrants. He famously expressed his belief that no one would want to see curvy women on the runway and once called model Heidi Klum ‘simply too heavy’ to be a runway model. He mocked the MeToo movement in 2018 and even revealed that he did not support gay marriage despite being gay himself. This prompted backlash, most notably from actor and activist Jameela Jamil who expressed disappointment at this year’s Met Gala theme and the celebrities who attended. Now I by no means think that the celebrities who attended this Met Gala and praised Karl should be villainised as they are simply there to showcase the outfits. However, fashion has always been inherently political, so it was somewhat satisfying to see certain celebrities making more subtle statements on the red (or rather aquafresh) carpet. 

Firstly, Lizzo in her classic Chanel gown and pearls. On the surface this dress seems rather basic, boring even, and is not what fans were expecting from the loud and often eccentric pop star. However, perhaps the subversion of this look comes from Lizzo herself, as a fat, body positive, black woman Lizzo wouldn’t exactly be Lagerfeld’s ideal Chanel model. It’s possible Lizzo didn’t feel her outfit needed to make a statement as she was already doing that simply by being at this year’s met. 

Maybe this is a stretch and Lizzo was simply at the Met Gala because she was invited and not to make a statement, however, I find it harder to believe that Viola Davis was unaware of the statement she was making when wearing her outlandish pink Valentino gown. Lagerfeld famously hated the colour pink saying, “Think pink, but don’t wear it”. 

Other stars like Ashley Graham, Quinta Brunson, Gwendoline Christie, and Sydney Sweeney wore a muted pink but Viola Davis’ dress stood out with its brightness and blooming feathers. Initially, when exploring the Met Gala looks, I hated this dress and couldn’t understand why Viola and her team had decided on it. However, understanding the rebellion it represents has painted it in a new light, and whilst I’ll be honest, I still don’t like the dress, I comment the thought behind it. 

Finally, I cannot talk about powerful pink looks at this year’s Met Gala without mentioning possibly one of my all-time favourite male looks from a Met Gala and that is Harvey Guillén’s Met Gala debut in Siriano. “The theme of the night was Karl… so in his honor, I came as my fat POC self in pink,” He told The Advocate.[1] Perhaps I may be a little biased as a long-time fan of Guillén, however, I feel this is how to send a message at the Met Gala and still look fabulous. Overall, I disagree with Jameela Jamil’s comment’s that the celebrities attending the Met ‘relinquished (their) right to be taken at all seriously about anything important.’. I think it is possible to acknowledge Lagerfeld’s fashion legacy whilst simultaneously condemning his truly terrible beliefs and actions and I feel we see this best from the few celebrities bold enough to subvert the theme and still participate in the absolute phenomenon that is the Met Gala.
