The neighborhood Notting Hill

How the film Notting Hill damaged the neighborhood Notting Hill — through gentrification.

At that time, I was dating a woman who lived in Notting Hill. I told her I had enjoyed the film, and she said that she resented it for forcing her to move to a farther part of London. Indeed, gentrification is shown right on the screen. I still enjoy it despite that, perhaps because it's a romantically inept bookish man's perfect romantic fantasy.

At the end of the first encounter between the two main characters, Ms Scott steals a kiss from Mr Thacker. Would you call that a "sexual assault" and comparable to rape? Do you think she should be prosecuted for that? I can imagine the scene in which Thacker testifies at Scott's trial and falsely claims to have given verbal consent in advance, thus sparing her a prison term. After hearing the verdict, she runs over to him and kisses him, and they arrest her again.
