The rest
of the picture can be filled in as follows: Keira Knightley and Chiwetel Ejiofor, who play newlywed couple Juliet and Peter, contend with the latent feelings
of Peter's old friend Mark (Andrew Lincoln); Martin Freeman and Joanna Page, body doubles in movies who find attraction to one another while staging sex scenes; Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson, a longtime married couple now face a crisis in the wake
of Karen (Thompson)'s discovery
of an affair her husband is potentially having with a coworker; Hugh Grant's Prime Minister, the most self - deprecating individual ever to find himself in a
position of such
power, can't help but feel attracted to one
of his secretaries even after her indiscretion with the sleazy U.S. President (an
absolute waste
of Billy Bob Thornton's time).
It is patronizing and fatalistic to assume that people in
positions of relative but not
absolute powerlessness, who nevertheless benefit from a high carbon - emitting society, are entirely bereft
of the ability to chose and therefore
of power.
It is to be noted that the peculiarity
of the HKSAR's
position in relation to the PRC, its Basic Law and the express provision therein requiring reference
of matters within the
powers of the Central People's Government to the Standing Committee, together with the PRC doctrine
of absolute immunity, form the context in which this decision was made.
