While individualistic cultures assign greater importance to romantic
relationships as a prologue to marriage, (Simpson, Campbell, & Berscheid, 1986) the collectivistic cultures on the other hand attach least importance to romantic relationship before marriage (Levine, Sato, Hashimoto, & Verma, 1995).
A cheesy voiceover serves
as dunderheaded
prologue, and all but consumes the narrative motion of the second act; flashbacks get out of hand in their attempts to round out Lara and Richard's
relationship.
