5. David says an empowering speech
Hugh Grant’s character, David, closes the film by tying in all the themes of the sequel with another empowering speech.
“Wherever you see tragedy, you see bravery too — wherever you see ordinary people in need, you see extraordinary ordinary people come to their aid," he said.
"Today is Red Nose Day and people are giving their hard-earned cash to people they'll never meet. But whose pain and fear they feel and want to fight. So, it's not only romantic love that's all around—most people still, every day, everywhere, have enough love in their heart to help other human beings in trouble. Good's going to win. I'm actually sure of it."
