How you actually define love? Does love must always go through many obstacles so that it only can be strengthen? A rebellious teen couple who craving to be together and ignore their parent’s foresight; or a homo-relation couple that can endure the society’s discrimination towards their relationship? As general philosophy, love is always blind. Love is an interaction, and attraction between human’s emotion contact, which should not be in the limit of ages, races, genders, skin colours or even physically disorder.
Regarding this movie, Prime, which portrayed a lovely couple struggle in the dilemma of huge gap of age and society perspective. A divorced lady, Rafi (Uma Thurman) has falls in love with a young boy, David (Bryan Greenburg), who is a painter and only 23 years old. Rafi would routinely visit her psycho-therapist, Dr. Lisa (Meryl Streep) for consulting her personal love relation. Lisa was consistently encouraging Rafi to take a try for the new relationship as overcome her fear of intimacy. So coincidently but unfortunately for Lisa, who realised that Rafi’s boyfriend was her only son, David.
As a tradition mother, who hopes that one day her son will get a Jewish wife and definitely not a woman that older than her son 14 years old. Ethically, as a professional therapist should draws the clear line between her personal issue and her professionalism. Therefore, this relationship has been consequently becomes more complicated. However, regardless how their intense affection in this relationship, this couple has realises that huge age gap and diverse background has actually arises many conflicts.
However, the ending turnout was a sad ending. But, I do love the ending! When especially David looks Rafi through the restaurant’s window. Their expressions seem have experienced a vigorous relationship but separated. Rafi smiles with her deep red lip, which has reflected their emotional affection has become mature and grown. Even same as David, who takes the courage to face Rafi, and leaves the restaurant, where outside is a snowy and freezing winter. With disseminating a gloomy song, I wish you love.
