Lost in Translation : 5 of 5
10.03.2003 5:53 PM \| Link	I went to see this amazing movie after reading Barron's comments on Takoyaki.org, mainly to see Tokyo and enjoy the Japanese setting. Surprisingly, the movie was so good that the story far surpassed my interest in Japan (though it was great to see Tokyo and Kyoto and to catch a few words that I knew). Lost in Translation is the story of two people looking for themselves - they just happen to be in Japan. Bill Murray is wonderful in his role, and Scarlett Johansson is spectacular (not to mention downright beautiful), both of them really getting their confused emotions across. The plot doesn't move very much - they meet, they spend time together, they say good bye, but the unspoken connection that they feel is incredible. I was left with a wonderful feeling of how people find what they need in other people, just as these two characters discover life in each other's company. Labels: movies
