"It's not the same when there's no growing old together. Without that, love is just heartbreak."
With that, it completely summarizes this touching movie of how this 107 year old woman stop running away from love and finally settles down with a fine young man. Of course, there is a twist at the end so that she doesn't grow all the way to a million years old. On top of that, she is really pretty! A must-watch in my opinion!
Rating: 4.5/10
And after the movie, I started to think about love. I think most friends know that I haven't been having much luck in that aspects, and I am starting to understand why. Sometimes, love is just a facade for a relationship to sustain. Like how having a kid actually helps prevent divorces, love actually keeps two people together. But love is a complicated issue.
Being in a conservative society, love is perceived to be a heterosexual matter. And anything that deviates from the norm is actually being ostracized, especially by the older generation. I know many people who are actually riding against the tide, they may appear happy on the outside, but in the inside, they are facing loads of trials and tribulations. And our country still doesn't not accept such behavior. I do hope that being a leader in the South East Asia region, we may break out of this mindset and follow our Western counterparts' footsteps.
Just some of my thoughts being penned down. I would love to open this for discussion, so if anyone is interested, don't hesitate to contact me via WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger. (:
