no, you hang up..

It was a great night last night, we've decided to end a tuesday night on the couch watching a DVD I recommended, called Prime. The movie starred Uma Thurman and Bryan Greenberg. Somewhere around my blog, I think I've written a few times about this movie. Its an awesome movie which I watched about hmmm... 5 years ago?

It never really occured to me before, but this is the first time... I'm the kind of person who watches a movie and you know, if I really like it then I'd watch and think of it at the same time, and probably after the movie too... ahh.. but I digress. Ok back to the story, Its a movie about a 37 year old lady who falls for a 23 year old guy. The catch of the movie is, the lady is in a dilemma from a recent dilemma and also about meeting and dating a guy who's 14 years younger than her, and she's seeing a therapist whom she'd later find out that she is his mother. As the story progresses, we see his mother objecting what he was doing, and he would obviously rebel against her.

5 years back when I watched this movie, I thought, "look, there's no point directing your son what to do in his life anymore, and serve you right, you're a professional, but you're not giving your son the advices you give to your patients, so now you see your son dating your much older patient and you're upset!" I thought, what's wrong with dating her? His mom said in the end you'll end up hurting each other.

Now 5 years down the road, 11th May to be exact, when I watched it again... I had a different thought. I thought... "hmmm... at the end of the day, a mother just knows everything, and whatever she said to you is right." Well, my point is, its not about going out with an older girl or anything, but when your mom tells you to do something or not, she is always right about it, and that's why she tells you".

Sometimes, its just so simple but we grow up and we lose track abit and think highly of ourselves and stop taking advices from our loved ones. Well I'd never thought I'd look at the same movie in a different way 5 years after watching it for the first time. I guess in a way, I've grown, and I hope I did.

It feels weird, but kinda refreshing when you realize things like that, when you start interpreting things differently from how you will back then. Its weird, but its good.
