prime

yipeee! my exams are finally over. :) freedom.

my day was an ordinary happy go-out day. met up with andre, who looked damn lok kok cos he was wearing his training clothes. hehe. first we had lunch at fish and co. SEAFOOD PLATTER. my fav. hmm yummies!! then we watched prime. the show was fine, not fantastic, but watchable. it was a little draggy at the beginning, so much so that both of us almost fell asleep cos we both started the day pretty early. the ending wasnt a typical fairytale one..it's bittersweet..and it reflects realism. maybe if you're planning to watch it, you shouldnt continue reading this, cos i might just spoil it for you.



--spoiler warning!!!
the show bascially revolves around a 37 yr old divorcee and a 23 yr old not-quite-yet-matured boy who fell in love with each other but had to deal with issues such as their enormous age gap, her non-jewish religion and also complicated by the fact that her shrink is his mum. the couple did managed to prove that they were really serious about each other and it wasnt just a short lived sexual attraction (though she did say that they have had sex at every surface area of the apartment..*raise eyebrow*). nonethless in the end she told him to go.."i love you, that's why i cant let you do this. you know it too..this isn't what you want.."

she wanted a baby and a family. he was a boy who still had a lot of growing up to do. she didnt want to hurry him. two roads heading in opposite directions. letting go was a wiser choice than sacrifices.

sometimes love just ain't enough. "relationships are work.."..sometimes you let the person go, precisely because you love him.

harry potter loved ginny, but he told him he couldnt be with her, because there were things he had to accomplish, and by persisting their relationship, he would only be endangering her life.

anyway i was bored, so i did a little research on the movie cos i was wondering why the movie was called 'prime'. this guy's opinion was that because the shrink said at one point of the movie, that both were at their sexual 'prime'. also.."might also be beneficial to consider that "prime" also means to prepare or become prepared for the future. If nothing else, this film shows how the characters develop and are changed by the unique relationship they have together"..

hmm. this is terribly interesting.

anyway other movies i want to catch in this hols:
1. pride and prejudice
2. harry potter!!
3. just like heaven
4. perhaps love - won the best foreign film in oscar's?? watched the thriller..it looked like a chinese version of moulin rouge. but urps..the singing was horrible..
5. oliver twist? but i think it's closing soon.
6. chicken little
7. the exorcism of emily rose
