A shiny, happy place, relaxed about the filthy rich, insatiable in its optimism, in love with happy endings, and very New Labour Welcome to Curtisland...
This article is based around the man Richard Curtis who has achieved an amazing amount towards British films. His most famous films include, Love Actually, Bridget Jones's Diary, Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill. He is also the creator of Blackadder and The Vicar of Dibley.
The article is very much interested in how his films are based around New Labour and how they always have a optimistic view about them. This optimisim has made the view of Britain change from the old broken-home and teenage pregnancy capital of Europe to a sunny, happy and witty place.
His films were seen as a stepping stone to what British film is now today because he created his own style of cinema which is named 'Curtisland'. Most British films were either wrote by him or followed his formula of a man/women needing to grow up and find out that love is all around us.
As said before Richard Curtis/Curtisland has achieved many things for British Cinema and most importantly British people. He has changed the perception of British Citizens and has definitely left his mark.

Lewis,
Well done for summarising this article. You have picked out the main points well. Now try and do the same for the other two and see if you can apply the ideas over the course of the next few weeks.
