So I could actually identify with a lot in this movie.
No, not the fake porn scenes.
Mostly, I identified in some way with nearly all of the various scenes of love and its various twists.
Perhaps most of all, I could identify with the part where the guy who's got the crush on Keira Knightley's character has her wedding video he took. She can't understand his reluctance to show it to her until she surprises him by dropping by his flat (I have to say that since it's an English movie). After quickly finding the video, she realizes every shot in the video was of her, and the significance of that. They have a brief discussion of why he never said anything to her, and then he tells her she can show herself out.
As he's leaving down the street, he hesitates a couple of times like he's going to go back to the flat for her, but he ultimately continues down the street.
Later in the movie, when it's showing the montage of scenes that wrap up the movie, he stops by her place and has a clever way of letting her know how he really feels for her (working up the nerve to do so), all the while knowing nothing will ever come of it. Her husband (and his best friend) was upstairs not knowing what was happening. After she got the message, the guy with the crush started walking down the street, where she runs out and gives him a kiss, and then goes back inside--like i said, both knowing nothing would ever come of what happened, but both sharing a special moment and feeling between the two that they likely wouldn't have--past, present or future--with anyone else.
At least, that's my interpretation. And I can relate to that.
