Costume and Mise-En-Scene Very British, hoodies, suits, etc. Mother – war time clothing and ideologies recognised at the beginning of the film. (Where Bridget first meets Mark Darcy.) British accents Bridget wears quite slutty attire at times, when trying to get Daniel’s attention. ‘Big Pants’. Bunny Rabbit! Says a lot about the British Culture, especially when linked to the representation of characters.

Other Narrative, ‘Bridget’ narrating the film. Binary Opposites; male vs. Female British Humour Similar links to Love Actually. Pathetic fallacy through TV and the weather. After the break up, you have a boyfriend mudering his girlfriend in the shower and then lions mating, reflecting the thoughts of Bridget on the relationship about being all about sex. Terribly cliché but not entirely ‘cheesy’ as it suits the genre of the film. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0D0zfB1l1x0
